Country house in Competa, Malaga

Expat Real Estate presents this authentic country finca with pool, guest accommodation and almost 20,000 m² of land, set in a peaceful valley near Cómpeta (Málaga, Andalusia). The property is located just 15 minutes from the picturesque white village of Cómpeta, approximately 45 minutes from the coast and 1 hour 20 minutes from Málaga International Airport.

We love: the absolute privacy, the vast garden that surrounds the home, the quality of the renovation, and the authentic Andalusian charm that can be felt in every corner.

Location & Access

Set in a lush green valley surrounded by nature, this property offers a rare sense of peace and space, without compromising on proximity to amenities and village life.

Access is good, partially concreted, and leads comfortably to the entrance and the spacious parking area.

The Property

Formerly a traditional olive finca, the home has been carefully restored, preserving its Andalusian character while incorporating modern comforts to ensure year-round living.

The main house (approx. 218 m² built) has been renovated to an excellent standard, combining elegance and authenticity. Entry is through traditional cortijo-style doors opening onto an impressive covered porch, perfect for embracing the Andalusian lifestyle, and the generous swimming pool. A large glazed terrace with glass curtains and a wood-burning stove creates a cosy winter living space, enjoying pleasant views over the pool and surrounding mountains.

Inside, the heart of the home is a generous living area characterised by natural materials and a warm atmosphere. The kitchen, with colourful decorative tiles and various lighting options, benefits from numerous electrical points offering great flexibility in layout and appliance positioning, and flows into a charming dining area with natural stone walls and a wine cellar/pantry. The kitchen-dining space connects through an attractive archway to a welcoming sitting room that opens onto the terrace.

From the dining area, stairs lead to a charming smaller lounge with fireplace and wooden beams, which could easily serve as a home office. On the upper floor, there is a beautiful and bright double bedroom in gallery style, featuring robust handcrafted balustrades. This bedroom enjoys a spectacular fully renovated en-suite bathroom with natural stone wall, walk-in shower and elegant freestanding bath, as well as lovely garden views.

The dining room also provides access to an authentic Andalusian patio, leading to two further bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Thanks to independent external access, these rooms can either form part of the main house or function as guest suites, ideal for visitors or rental purposes.

The property benefits from underfloor heating in the main living areas (kitchen, dining room, lounges and main bathroom). The principal bathroom also features a heated towel rail, and the two additional bathrooms each have their own radiator. The house is equipped with a solar hot water system with electric backup, reinforced and insulated walls, and double glazing in most rooms.

A separate enclosed technical room houses the water supply and irrigation system, including a pressure pump and a 20,000-litre reserve tank, providing both security and autonomy.

In addition, the recently renovated workshop and wood store offer potential to be converted into an additional guest unit, further enhancing the versatility of the property.

Outdoor Spaces

The exterior areas are designed to fully embrace the Mediterranean lifestyle.

The plot of almost 20,000 m² is fully fenced and features four gated entrances, ensuring privacy and convenience. The gardens combine Mediterranean planting with various seating areas and both sunny and shaded terraces inviting relaxation.

The 10 x 3 metre swimming pool is one of the property’s main highlights. It offers generous space for sun loungers and relaxation, along with a high-quality outdoor shower with hot water and two electrical points prepared for internal pool lighting, creating the perfect setting to enjoy the Andalusian climate. The spacious terrace also features a charming stone dining area, two water taps (hot and cold), and a drainage point, ideal for installing a decorative fountain or outdoor kitchen.

The land is fertile and productive, with olive trees, almond trees, vines and a wide variety of fruit trees — citrus, figs, avocados, mangoes, pomegranates, loquats and many more — transforming the finca into a true Mediterranean oasis.

The garage can accommodate two vehicles and benefits from several electrical points, ideal for charging a car or motorhome.

Summary

A property with soul, where traditional Andalusian character blends harmoniously with modern comfort.

Currently a private residence, it offers enormous potential as an exclusive rural retreat, boutique guesthouse or family home, thanks to its flexible layout and independent areas.

A truly special place for those seeking nature, privacy and quality of life in the heart of Andalusia.
