Finca/Country House for sale in Colmenar, Málaga

Off-Grid Country Estate in Montes de Málaga Natural Park
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.
