Regional Comparison

Within Benahavís itself, a municipality known for its exclusive projects and golf resorts, the offerings vary considerably. Projects like 'Be Lagom' and 'La Finca de Jasmine' represent new constructions priced from €1,890,000 and €2,250,000 respectively, catering to buyers seeking immediate turnkey luxury. The 'Tiara' villa, priced from €1,550,000, falls into a similar segment, but this particular property stands out due to the necessity of extensive renovation. This creates a different entry point and value proposition, focusing on customization and potential for significant value creation after investing in the refurbishment.
