Regional Comparison

Benahavís holds a unique market position on the Costa del Sol, characterized by a blend of exclusive golf resorts and a serene, rural atmosphere, all within short distance of the coast. This €1,900,000 building plot falls within this segment. Compared to projects like 'Be Lagom' (from €1,890,000) and 'La Finca de Jasmine' (from €2,250,000), also located in Benahavís, this plot is priced centrally.
