This detached villa in Atalaya, near Estepona, offers substantial space on a generous plot of 4468 m². With 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, it presents a project with significant potential for those seeking a large-scale renovation. Its southwest orientation promises ample sunlight, while its elevation of 666 meters above sea level offers potential for views. The villa requires thorough modernization to unlock its full capabilities, making it an interesting option for investors or families with a clear vision.
Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens (€418,800) and Aby Upper (€320,000) in Estepona, this villa is priced higher at €2,000,000, explained by its substantially larger plot and the scale of the existing structure. Alba Benalmadena (€699,000) in Benalmádena, while also a villa, falls into a different price bracket and geographic area within the Costa del Sol. The Atalaya villa clearly targets a niche: buyers willing to invest significantly in a thorough renovation to create a large-scale residence on extensive grounds, differing from the more 'turn-key' or apartment-focused projects along the coast. Its location in Atalaya, inland and at altitude, offers a distinct type of peace and space compared to the immediate coastal areas where many new developments are concentrated.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located in Atalaya, a tranquil, rural enclave between Marbella and Estepona, this villa provides a serene setting.

This villa is suited for buyers looking for a major renovation project with the opportunity to create a home according to their specific desires. Its spacious layout and large plot offer flexibility for both family living and investment purposes. However, it requires considerable effort and budget for the renovation.
This property is an existing structure that needs a complete renovation. It is not a new construction; the villa is dated and requires significant modernization of both its structure and finishes to meet contemporary standards and preferences.

It is suitable for investors who see potential in redeveloping a large plot and a spacious villa, or for families wishing to design and build a home entirely to their taste.
