Rural tranquillity and the Costa del Sol would not seem to go hand in hand when choosing your ideal location in Spain. But what if we told you that you could have both – and at a price well below the national average for a modest town flat? Cheap country houses in Málaga province could be the answer if you seek peace and quiet, privacy, space and clean air, yet are reluctant to relinquish the convenience of urban life altogether. This option offers a balance: Nature and serenity at home, but a lively holiday atmosphere and established expatriate community a short drive away if ever you want or need them – all this for less than €200,000.
'Country houses', in Spain, is a definition that covers a multitude of property types. Many come with plenty of land. Some are quite distant from the nearest town; others are in the heart of a village with most necessary amenities at hand.
Your Málaga country house might be a blank canvas: A renovation project you can adapt to your taste, instantly increasing the value. Or it could already be renovated with modern fixtures, a swimming pool and fully-landscaped garden and terrace. It's perfectly possible to find these at affordable prices, too.
Cheap country houses in Málaga province might be described as a finca. This actually just means a 'piece of property', be it a building or empty plot, but which in everyday speak is often used to refer to a detached rural home of traditional design. In the southern region of Andalucía, which Málaga forms part of, larger country houses, especially with farmland and outbuildings, are frequently known as cortijos.
While beachfront bargains are rare, head just a few kilometres inland and you’ll find a wide range of affordable country homes in Málaga province. These properties often come with more space, privacy, and natural surroundings than coastal homes, all at a much lower price point.
