Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is located in the Artola district of Málaga. This represents an urban coastal context at an elevation of 17 meters above sea level. The area features a mix of residential properties and vacation rentals, influenced by the nearby Cabopino marina and dune reserves.
With 8 bedrooms and 9 en-suite bathrooms, the property accommodates large families or frequent hosting. Amenities such as a private cinema, gym, and billiards room indicate a design focused on in-home entertainment. The plot size of over 2000 m² provides privacy, which is a key consideration for buyers in this market segment.
The property is listed in 'excellent' condition, indicating a completed and move-in home. There is no ongoing construction phase. Finishes include climate control systems such as air conditioning and underfloor heating in bathrooms.
The villa is not part of a gated community but is situated within an existing neighborhood. Privacy depends on the garden landscaping. Residents should expect activity associated with a coastal area. The multi-story layout may not be suitable for those with significant mobility issues.

Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas (starting at €490,000) or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (starting at €720,000), this project is in a significantly higher price segment. The higher price is justified by the massive plot size and the 'Detached Villa' type rather than apartments or townhouses. While Astra Homes in Fuengirola targets compact living, this Artola villa offers luxury and space comparable to exclusive Marbella areas, but at a lower price point. Artola itself is less 'chic' than Nueva Andalucía but offers direct access to the same nature and beaches.
