This detached villa, located in rural Arenas, Málaga, offers a serene lifestyle with a focus on privacy and natural beauty. With a living area of 241 m² on a spacious plot of 4162 m², the home combines comfort with the tranquility of the Costa del Sol's hinterland. The villa is designed with attention to detail, offering various living spaces both indoors and outdoors. Although rural, the location is strategically positioned relative to coastal facilities and amenities, making it an attractive option for those seeking a balance between peace and accessibility.
Compared to properties directly on the coast, such as Acqua Gardens or Aby Upper in Estepona, this villa in Arenas offers a significantly larger plot and more privacy, at a price comparable to Alba Benalmadena on the coast (€699,000). Its rural location distinguishes it from more urban or tourist areas like Benalmádena or Estepona, where proximity to amenities and beaches is emphasized. While coastal projects often offer a more compact living space on smaller plots, this villa focuses on space and a natural environment. The price per square meter of living area may be more favorable here than in the immediate coastal zone, although the necessity of a car for mobility is a key difference compared to projects with direct access to public transport or walking routes to amenities.
