This townhouse in Ardales offers a clear contrast to properties on the immediate coastline such as Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, which are priced from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively. The €339,000 price for this property in Ardales appears competitive, especially considering its living space and recent renovation, as well as the added potential of the tourist license. However, Ardales' location is inland, with a straight-line distance of approximately 41 km to the beaches, compared to the direct coastal proximity of the Estepona projects. Alba Benalmádena, with a starting price of €699,000, positions itself in a higher price bracket, likely due to a more exclusive or prime coastal location. Ardales thus offers an entry point to the Costa del Sol for buyers who prioritize authentic Andalusian village life and proximity to nature over direct beach access, combined with a mild inland climate.
