Compared to Marbella Club Hills Phase 2 (from €830,000), which might be more compact or offer fewer amenities given its lower starting price, this villa is positioned in a higher segment. Projects like Enebros Phase 2 and Sky Marbella Apartments, both from €1,490,000 and €1,495,000 respectively, are apartment complexes likely focusing more on communal facilities and direct coastal access, whereas this villa emphasizes private space and a rural setting. The price of €1,150,000 for a detached 4-bedroom villa with a generous plot in Benahavís appears consistent with the value of exclusive locations, the living space offered, and recent renovations, especially when contrasted with the higher price points of the apartment complexes. Its location, inland yet with good access to amenities, distinguishes this villa from purely coastal developments.
