Compared to projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (€269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (€205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (€259,000), this villa in Cártama is positioned in a higher price bracket (€440,000). This higher price can be attributed to the significantly larger plot size (5000 m²), greater living area (222 m²), and its existing build status allowing immediate occupancy. The mentioned projects in Torre del Mar, Mijas, and Estepona are typically new construction apartments or smaller villas, appealing to a different buyer profile. The Cártama villa offers more privacy and space, characteristic of properties slightly inland while maintaining good accessibility. While the comparable projects often focus on direct beach proximity and communal facilities, this property emphasizes a more rural, self-sufficient lifestyle with private outdoor space. The median income of the province of Málaga (€16,450) suggests that the €440,000 price tag represents a considerable investment, underscoring the role of the extensive plot and quality finishes in its valuation.
