Guesthouse/B & B for sale in Arenas, Málaga

Three living spaces, one home - and plenty of Andalusia
There are properties where having extra space simply means having more square metres.
And then there are homes where that extra space creates possibilities.
This property in Arenas clearly belongs to the second category. A main house and two separate apartments create three independently usable living areas, connected by terraces, a saltwater pool and far-reaching views across the mountains of the Axarquía all the way to the Mediterranean.
The main house is bright, open and pleasantly uncomplicated. The living and dining areas flow directly into the open-plan kitchen, creating a space where everyday life simply happens naturally.
This area has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Different styles come together here: traditional elements that suit the character of the house, combined with modernised areas that create an attractive contrast.
We would probably spend a lot of time on the glazed terrace. Protected while still giving you the feeling of being outdoors, it leads directly onto the large terrace with its private saltwater pool. Sea, mountains, sunshine - and plenty of space to spend a large part of the year outdoors.
But actually, this is where the truly special part of the property begins.
The house also includes two further independent apartments.
The first is designed as a studio and has its own kitchen, an open-plan living and sleeping area with a double bed and sofa bed, as well as a full bathroom. Compact, cosy and completely self-contained.
The second apartment offers considerably more space. A spacious living and dining area with fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, a separate bedroom and a bathroom create a small apartment of its own. Exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors and traditional details give this area its distinctive Andalusian character.
This creates possibilities that go far beyond those of a classic holiday home.
You can live here with family or friends while still giving everyone their own private space. Guests can stay and even visit for longer periods. Or you can combine your own home with holiday rentals, as all three units have a rental licence.
Outside, life is also spread across different levels and areas. In addition to the pool terrace, further up there is a generous barbecue area with an additional terrace and uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape. Around the house, this creates a series of different places for breakfast, reading, spending time together or enjoying long evenings with friends.
And investment has also been made in something much more practical: a new filtration system provides drinking-quality water throughout the house and improves the water supply for everyday use.
What makes this property interesting is therefore not just the pool. Not just the sea views. And not simply the rental potential.
It is the combination.
Three independently usable living areas. A rental licence for all three. A saltwater pool. Multiple terraces. Drinking-water filtration. The sea and mountains right on your doorstep.
A home for a large family. A place to share with friends and guests. Or a property where your own life in Andalusia can be combined with a rental business.
And perhaps, quite simply, a place where everyone suddenly wants to stay just a little longer.
