Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated inland in a quiet, rural setting at an altitude of 404 meters above sea level. Its position offers views of both the mountains and the sea, with amenities such as a restaurant and pharmacy within a few kilometers. The distance to the coast and major urban centers is acceptable for those seeking peace.
This villa is suitable for those seeking space, privacy, and a quiet living environment, combined with the convenience of proximity to amenities. The spacious layout, large plot, and various outdoor areas, such as the swimming pool and conservatory, make it a fitting choice for permanent residence, a holiday home, or an investment with rental potential.
The villa is completed (ready) and immediately available for occupancy. Originally built with comfort and space in mind, recent renovations to, among others, the kitchen and one of the bathrooms contribute to its move-in ready condition. The focus is on the existing, high-quality finishes and the immediate availability of the property.
The project does not offer direct access to the beach or town center from the villa itself; a car is essential for daily travel and accessing broader amenities. The rural character also means that immediate proximity to all urban facilities is at some distance, although the most essential needs are reachable within a few kilometers.

The offered villa in Arenas is set in a rural environment, presenting a distinct contrast to the more coast-oriented projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000). These projects are typically located closer to the coastline and offer apartments or smaller homes, often in complexes with shared facilities, at a lower entry price. The villa in Arenas, priced at €715,000, stands out due to its significantly larger plot size, the privacy it affords, its ample living space, and the unobstructed views, characteristic of properties in more rural, hilly areas of the Costa del Sol. The emphasis here is on space and tranquility, rather than direct access to the busier coastline. The investment opportunities through the rental license add an extra dimension not always standard with the comparable projects mentioned.
