Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, offered from prices around €320,000 to €418,800, this villa in Alhaurín de la Torre is positioned in a higher price bracket at €2,150,000. This difference is directly attributable to the significant plot size (12,400 m²) compared to the smaller plots typically found in new developments in coastal areas like Estepona. Alba Benalmadena, with a starting price of €699,000, falls in price between the mentioned Estepona projects and this villa. The Alhaurín de la Torre villa distinguishes itself with its country setting and the immense privacy offered by its large plot, in contrast to the more compact, residential coastal projects. Its proximity to Málaga city and airport is an advantage, whereas the direct beachfront location of the comparative projects offers a different kind of appeal. The choice between these options depends on the priority given to land area, direct coastal access, or urban proximity.
