Townhouse for sale in Gaucín, Málaga

Rare find in Gaucín – traditional village house with charming garden & sea views
3 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 2 floors | garden | €225,000

Location, character and potential – this is an unusual opportunity in the heart of Gaucín.
Village houses with large private gardens and sea views are increasingly difficult to find in Gaucín, particularly at this price point. Originally built in 1936, this traditional Andalusian townhouse offers generous accommodation, a wonderfully established Mediterranean garden and, most importantly, enormous potential to create a special home.

The house has remained largely untouched over the decades, retaining the simplicity and character of an authentic village property. The kitchen appears to date from the late 1970s or early 1980s, while a modern shower room and newer floor tiling were added approximately 13 years ago.

Importantly, the property is in relatively good condition and perfectly usable as it stands, allowing a new owner to renovate and improve gradually rather than having to undertake an immediate total reconstruction.

The accommodation
On the ground floor, the entrance opens into a front living room, with a smaller adjoining room ideal as a study, music room or snug. A corridor leads through to the staircase hall and another useful small room before descending two steps into the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, warmed by a traditional wood-burning stove.

A modern shower room is located just off the kitchen.

The kitchen opens directly onto a large, mainly covered terrace – a wonderful extension of the living space and an ideal place for outdoor dining throughout much of the year. A substantial storeroom off the terrace already has water, electricity and a sink.

From here, a few steps beneath a charming traditional archway lead down into one of the property's greatest assets: its large, mature garden.

Pathways and terraces wind through established trees, shrubs and flowering plants, creating a wonderfully private Mediterranean setting with numerous places for sitting, dining and relaxing. There is also space to consider the addition of a swimming pool, subject to the necessary permissions.

And from the upper terrace, the reward is exceptional – views across the countryside towards the Mediterranean Sea.

Upstairs, a characterful slate staircase leads to a small landing overlooking the garden. There are three bedrooms: two generously proportioned double bedrooms and a smaller single bedroom, currently used as an office.

An opportunity to create something exceptional
The house has mains water and electricity, with heating currently provided by the wood-burning stove in the kitchen. The existing windows are traditional single-glazed timber frames, leaving scope for future improvements in comfort and energy efficiency.

This is not a newly renovated designer house, and that is its appeal.

For buyers searching for a property where location and potential matter most, this one deserves attention.
