This detached villa in Arenas, Málaga, offers a tranquil residential lifestyle in a rural setting, boasting both sea and mountain views. Situated on a generous 6,626 m² plot, it combines the serenity of the countryside with proximity to coastal amenities. The villa is designed for comfort and space, ideal for those seeking a permanent residence or an extensive holiday retreat on the Costa del Sol.
Compared to projects directly on the coast, such as Acqua Gardens or Aby Upper in Estepona, offered from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively, this villa in Arenas positions itself in a different segment. These Estepona projects are closer to the beach and urban amenities, reflected in their lower starting prices, although their living areas and plots are smaller. Alba Benalmadena, with a starting price of €699,000, is closer to the coast and urban centers, justifying its higher price. The villa in Arenas offers a larger plot and more tranquility, with a price that reflects its rural location and the scale of the accommodation. It presents an alternative for buyers who prioritize privacy and space over direct beach access.
