Regional Comparison

Compared to new developments like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (starting from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), this detached villa in Alhaurín de la Torre represents a significantly different segment of the market. Those projects are typically apartments or smaller townhouses with prices reflecting new construction and often a more compact living space. This existing villa, priced at €960,000, offers a substantially larger, individual property with extensive grounds, a private pool, and distinctive architectural features. While the per-square-meter cost might appear higher than entry-level new builds, it reflects the scale, privacy, and established nature of the property. Its inland location contrasts with the direct coastal proximity of some new developments, offering a different lifestyle focused on mountain views and a more integrated town setting, rather than immediate beach access. The larger plot size and detached nature differentiate it significantly from the apartment-style offerings.
