Compared to recent coastal developments like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), which focus on a more modern, densely populated coastal lifestyle, this property in Alora offers a different living experience. The price of €889,000 for a Finca - Cortijo with 8 bedrooms and a large plot is significantly higher than the starting prices of the Estepona projects, reflecting the size and rural character of the Alora property. Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000) is also a coastal project but positions itself with a slightly lower entry price than the Alora property. This Finca - Cortijo project stands out for its location in the authentic Andalusian interior, the ample private space, and the existing structure offering potential for B&B operation. Its pricing appears more aligned with unique, larger estates rather than typical apartment complexes on the immediate coastline.
