Compared to projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000), this Finca - Cortijo is positioned in a higher price bracket, with an asking price of €895,000. This higher price point is justifiable due to the significantly larger plot size exceeding 12,000 m², the rural setting offering ample privacy, and the distinct nature of a 'Cortijo'-style property, which often possesses distinctive characteristics compared to apartment complexes or townhouses in coastal areas. The existing build, combined with the extensive land, is another differentiating factor from the mentioned new developments that primarily focus on apartments and villas. The location in Alhaurín de la Torre, although inland, provides an interesting mix of tranquility and accessibility, particularly due to its proximity to the airport, offering a different appeal than the direct coastal locations of the comparable projects.
