Regional Comparison

Compared to projects directly on the coast, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €219,950) or Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), this development plot in Alora is in a different category. The mentioned coastal projects typically involve apartment complexes focused on tourism and recreation, with significantly lower prices per unit. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000) also focuses on apartments. This plot in Alora is a land investment for large-scale housing development, priced at €980,000 for the entire 8,944 m² plot. Its inland location offers a different living environment than the coast, emphasizing the local community and nature, while still maintaining good accessibility to Malaga and the coast.
