Compared to Villa Solis (from €3.9m), this property commands a higher price, likely due to the recent renovation or specific plot characteristics. It is priced lower than Gate 3 Villa (from €5.195m) and Villa Selene Luxe (from €5.79m). The market in Benahavís varies significantly based on whether a property is within a golf estate or standalone. This villa offers a balance of proximity to golf courses without being directly on the fairways, potentially providing more privacy than frontline golf plots.
