This rural land in Tolox, next to the Sierra de las Nieves National Park, offers a unique enclave of high environmental and scenic value. Its strategic location, close to the town center and surrounded by protected natural areas, makes it an ideal space for sustainable rural projects. The plot combines exclusivity, tourism potential, and legal security, creating an attractive opportunity for investors committed to sustainability.

Since 2020, this land has had a Development Project approved by the Tolox Town Council.

The planned project involves the construction and operation of three superior-category rural houses with private accommodation, or alternatively, six bungalows or eco-houses. The target market is tourists visiting Andalusia in search of individual accommodations connected to nature.

The plot of land where this project is located borders the Sierra de las Nieves National Park to the southwest. This biosphere reserve covers 20,163 hectares of rugged terrain, characterized by deep ravines and gorges. In 2008, the Sierra de las Nieves received the EDEN distinction, awarded by the European Commission, as one of the twenty “best destinations for tourism and local intangible heritage.”

Another incentive for rural tourism is the proximity to mountainous areas; within the Sierra de las Nieves National Park lies the Pico de la Rorrecilla, which rises to 1,919 meters above sea level.

For leisure activities, collaboration agreements will be established with local companies or those based in neighboring municipalities, such as the following: Aventurate Sierra de las Nieves (Tolox), Abeto del Sur Ecoturismo (Alozaina) and Barranquismo Aventura (Yunquera).
