Regional Comparison

Compared to coastal projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, offered from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively, this property is positioned in a higher price range (€595,000). This higher segment is justifiable due to the larger plot, the Finca - Cortijo type dwelling with rural charm, and the extensive renovation. Alba Benalmadena, with a starting price of €699,000, falls into a comparable price segment but likely focuses more on an urban or coastal residential setting. This property in Alhaurín el Grande distinguishes itself through the combination of privacy, space in the countryside, and relative proximity to the airport and beach facilities. Inland properties often offer more land area for a comparable price than direct coastal locations, which is clearly evident here with a plot exceeding 6,000 m².
