Townhouse for sale in Gaucín, Málaga

Traditional Gaucín Village House with Tourist Licence & Panoramic Sea Views
A beautifully restored and surprisingly spacious village house in the heart of Gaucín, offering an appealing combination of authentic Andalusian character, flexible family accommodation and proven holiday-rental potential.
Arranged over four generous floors, the property feels considerably larger than its traditional village façade might suggest. It works equally well as a comfortable year-round family home, an easy-to-manage holiday retreat or an investment property, with a tourist rental licence already in place and a good history of successful holiday rentals.
One of the great attractions of the house is its elevated position and wonderful southern outlook. From several rooms, and particularly from the upper-floor terrace, there are panoramic views across the village and surrounding countryside towards the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and the Rif Mountains of Morocco, while the dramatic Castillo del Águila rises above Gaucín.
Restored to a high standard in 2004, the house retains the atmosphere and architectural influences of Al-Andalus, with original oak beams, whitewashed walls and traditional terracotta floors complemented by Moorish arches and decorative tiling.
Although currently arranged as a two-bedroom home, the generous study/library provides excellent flexibility and could readily become a third bedroom, making the property particularly attractive for families and increasing its potential as holiday accommodation.
The house enjoys a convenient position in the historic village, within a short stroll of shops, tapas bars, cafés and excellent restaurants, with on-street parking available nearby.
Ground Floor
A Moorish archway from the entrance hall leads into a spacious study/library, a versatile room that could also be used as an occasional or permanent third bedroom.
Also on this level is a generous guest bedroom with built-in wardrobe and French doors opening to a Juliet balcony, with lovely views across the village towards the Castillo del Águila and Mediterranean coastline. A well-presented walk-in shower room completes this floor.
Lower Floor – Private Master Suite
The entire lower floor is devoted to the master bedroom suite, creating a wonderfully private retreat that remains naturally cool during the warmer summer months.
Full of character, the room features an oak-beamed ceiling, fitted wardrobes and a Moorish archway leading to French doors and a Juliet balcony. A modern en-suite bathroom completes the suite.
First Floor – Kitchen, Dining & Winter Living Room
The first floor forms the welcoming heart of the house: a large, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space designed for comfortable year-round living.
An open fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months, while the generous kitchen and dining areas make this an excellent space for entertaining family and friends. Sliding doors lead onto a small covered terrace, perfect for breakfast or morning coffee while enjoying the views.
Upper Floor – Summer Living Room & Panoramic Terrace
Perhaps the most memorable part of the property is the entire upper floor, which is dedicated to a superb south-facing summer living room.
Bright, spacious and full of character, with a traditional beamed ceiling, this room opens through fully retractable glazed doors onto a secluded 12 m² south-facing terrace.
Here the house really comes into its own. The terrace enjoys far-reaching views towards the Mediterranean Sea, Gibraltar and the mountains of North Africa, providing an exceptional setting for alfresco dining, evening drinks or simply relaxing in the Andalusian sunshine.
A Home to Enjoy – and an Investment with Proven Potential
For buyers looking for a property that can provide an income when not in personal use, this house has an important advantage: the tourist rental licence is already in place and the property has an established history of attracting holiday guests.
Its central Gaucín location, distinctive Andalusian character, panoramic views, multiple living areas and flexible two/three-bedroom arrangement give it many of the qualities sought by visitors looking for an authentic village experience.
Equally, this is not simply a holiday rental property. With four spacious levels, two separate living rooms, generous bedrooms and several outdoor/viewing areas, it offers the space and comfort to make a very appealing permanent family home or second home in Andalucía.
Additional features: Part double-glazed; wall-mounted electric heating for the winter months; open fireplace; nearby on-street parking; tourist rental licence in place; established rental history; secluded south-facing terrace; panoramic Mediterranean, Gibraltar and North Africa views; flexible study/possible third bedroom.
