Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, which offer coastal apartments starting from €320,000 to €418,800, this Finca - Cortijo in Alora represents a different market segment. Priced at €695,000, it offers significantly more land (4000 m² versus typically smaller plots for apartments) and a characteristic, restored home instead of new construction. Its inland location, away from the immediate coastline, provides a different lifestyle: quieter and more authentic, but with a slightly longer travel time to the beaches (approx. 27 km as the crow flies). Alba Benalmadena, starting at €699,000, is closer to the coast and likely offers a different type of property, possibly more modern or within a complex. This Finca - Cortijo positions itself as a unique rural retreat, targeting buyers who value history, space, and authentic Andalusian living over the typical beach and golf resort experience.
