Detached Villa in Torremuelle

A rare opportunity in the established residential area of Torremuelle, Benalmádena Costa: a large villa of 1,146 m² built area on a plot of approximately 3,077 to 3,250 m², with a private pool, mature gardens with palm trees and cypresses, and views of the sea and the Sierra de Mijas. The beach, Torremuelle train station, golf courses and Benalmádena’s amenities are close by, and Málaga Airport is a short drive away.

The villa is offered for full renovation, giving the next owner the freedom to create a home or project entirely to their own vision.

Uses and potential

The plot is classified as urban land in zone U-1 (single-family housing). According to the municipal planning certificate of November 2026, permitted uses include:

A single-family residence: a spacious family estate or multi-generational home

Up to 2 dwellings on the plot, including the bungalow model (V-5) under horizontal property

A residence for the elderly (use SA-6): the size, number of bedrooms, gardens and location make the villa a strong base for a boutique care villa or senior living concept, a fast-growing market on the Costa del Sol with strong demand from Northern European retirees

All uses are subject to the required municipal and regional licences.

Acquired volume

The existing built area of 1,146 m² exceeds what current planning rules would allow on this plot (buildability 0.26 m²/m²). This volume therefore cannot be ‌replicated ‌by ‌new ‌construction. ‌The ‌villa may ‌be renovated ‌and modernised; extensions ‌are not ‌permitted.

Good ‌to know

The property ‌requires ‌a full renovation.
