Regional Comparison

Compared to other property projects on the Costa del Sol, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), the Finca - Cortijo in Cártama, priced from €325,000, positions itself in a similar segment to Aby Upper but with significantly different characteristics. The Finca - Cortijo offers a larger plot and a more rural setting, whereas the Estepona projects are likely closer to the coast and urban amenities, translating into higher prices for projects like Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000). The location in Cártama, inland yet with good access to the airport and coast, distinguishes it from properties directly on the seafront. This property appeals to a specific buyer seeking space and authenticity, possibly preferring a quieter environment than the immediate coastal areas, while still enjoying good connections. The asking price of €325,000 for 233 m² of living space and 2536 m² of land offers a favorable price per square meter for the land, especially compared to coastal areas where land is scarcer and more expensive. The proximity to amenities in Cártama itself, such as the supermarket at 99 m, enhances the practical value of this location.
