Compared to coastal projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €219,950) or Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), which offer apartments or smaller homes with limited outdoor space, this Finca positions itself in a different market segment. The price of €645,000 for this Finca-Cortijo with 588 m² of living space and a 24,000 m² plot is consistent with its scale and rural location, offering more space and privacy than typical residential coastal projects. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000), offering luxury apartments, is also a different type of project. This property in Villanueva del Rosario distinguishes itself through its size, expansion possibilities, and authentic Andalusian character, making it attractive to buyers specifically seeking a rural property with potential, rather than a standard coastal apartment.
