If you’re looking for a home in northwest Madrid, Torrelodones tends to come up for a very specific reason: it offers that mountain-living feel without losing a practical connection to the city. The municipality sits 29 km from Madrid, at the gateway to the Sierra de Guadarrama—something you feel day to day: more green, more light, more outdoor living.
Within Torrelodones, Finca Las Marías stands out for its residential character and for something that’s now decisive for many families and professionals: well-designed new-build homes, with energy efficiency, gardens and layouts created for remote work (without having to “invent” an office in a corner of the living room).
Torrelodones: protected nature + easy living
Torrelodones is surrounded by two major protected natural areas: the Parque Regional del Curso Medio del Río Guadarrama and the Parque Regional de la Cuenca Alta del Manzanares.
This matters more than it seems: it’s not just “seeing green”—it’s living with routes and trails, preserved landscape and an environment that tends to hold its value over time.
For people who work remotely full-time or part-time—or international buyers—this pairing (nature + services) is often the key: you can truly disconnect daily and, when you need the city, it’s right there.
Connectivity: A-6, buses to Moncloa and real mobility
Accessibility is part of the value. In Finca Las Marías you benefit from direct access to the A-6, proximity to Torrelodones Cercanías (commuter rail), and bus lines that connect with Madrid in around half an hour.
By public transport, two useful references:
- Line 612 (Moncloa–Torrelodones) from the CRTM.
- The CRTM timetable itself shows an estimated journey time of 35 minutes for Torrelodones → Moncloa (indicative and dependent on stops/service).
Approximate driving times (to help you get your bearings)
(Traffic and rush hour dependent; indicative only)
- Torrelodones → Madrid (Moncloa area / city access): roughly 20–30 minutes in favorable conditions.
- Torrelodones → central Madrid (Plaza Mayor reference): around 20–25 minutes when traffic cooperates.
- Finca Las Marías → local services (town center, station, shopping): typically “a few minutes” within the municipality.
Services that tip the decision: schools, healthcare, shopping and leisure

Waste/refuse fee
The BOCM (Torrelodones) includes the bylaw for the waste collection and treatment fee, with a minimum charge of €70 and criteria combining cadastral value and the number of registered residents for residential use (with caps to prevent excessive fees).
New builds in Finca Las Marías: why it makes sense here
Finca Las Marías concentrates demand because it delivers the “new luxury” today’s buyer is looking for:
