Finca/Country House for sale in Colmenar, Málaga

Private country estate in natural park

Off-grid country estate in the Montes de Malaga Natural Park, with abundant water, vegetable gardens, a vineyard and fruit trees. Set in a truly idyllic, tranquil setting, but with the sea and city close by.

Set within the protected landscape of the Montes de Málaga Natural Park, this substantial country estate enjoys a truly private and tranquil position surrounded by indigenous Mediterranean forest. Despite its seclusion, the property lies just 30 minutes from Malaga, the coast and the international airport — a rare balance between independence and accessibility. The estate extends across six hectares and includes approximately 1,000 m² of built space distributed among several buildings. It is entirely off-grid, powered by a modern photovoltaic solar system with lithium batteries, supported by an automatic auxiliary generator when required. Water is supplied by both a spring and a well, serving the houses and the cultivated areas. A wastewater treatment system is also in place, making the property fully self-sufficient and eco-sustainable.

One of the distinguishing features of this finca is its abundant water supply — unusual within the Natural Park — allowing for productive agricultural use alongside complete independence from external utilities.

Main house
The principal residence is arranged over two floors.
On the ground floor: Spacious living room with open fireplace; large kitchen with access to a wine cellar for storing wine produced from the estate’s own vines; bathroom; sauna area and jacuzzi.
Upstairs: Three bedrooms; two bathrooms, one en suite; wide-reaching views over the surrounding mountains.

The house benefits from central heating throughout, powered by propane gas stored in a 2,000-litre tank. In front of the main entrance, a generous outdoor entertaining area includes a barbecue, oven and picnic space — ideal for gatherings in the open air.

Guest & caretaker accommodation
Connected via an interior patio planted with orange trees, there is separate guest accommodation comprising two bedrooms and a bathroom. In addition, a caretaker’s house provides four bedrooms and a bathroom.

Along the access road to the main house stands another building divided into various compartments, suitable for uses such as horse boxes, storage rooms and wine production.

Land, orchard & self-sufficiency
The estate is surrounded by native flora and fauna, offering exceptional privacy with no near neighbours. Within the grounds are:
- Organic orchard with fruit trees
- Vegetable garden
- Vineyard
- Substantial henhouse

The combination of fertile land, reliable water and full energy independence makes the property particularly suited to those wishing to live sustainably or develop a small-scale agricultural lifestyle project.

Access is via a five-minute track requiring a 4x4 vehicle — a modest requirement in exchange for the property’s exceptional seclusion within a protected natural environment.

Málaga & surroundings

The nearby coastline offers beaches, marinas and year-round leisure facilities. Within the Natural Park itself, there are extensive opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding and other outdoor pursuits.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a large, completely off-grid estate in a protected natural park — offering privacy, water abundance and proximity to city and coast in equal measure.
