Compared to other projects on the Costa del Sol, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar, Lantana Residencial in Mijas, or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, this building plot in Casares Playa offers a distinct proposition. While the mentioned projects feature ready-built homes starting from prices between €205,000 and €269,950, this is a plot with significant development potential. The land price of €385,000 for 1,200 m² is competitive within the premium region surrounding Estepona and Marbella, especially considering the bank valuation is €98,500 higher than the asking price. Locations in Mijas or Torre del Mar might be more accessible but often lack the exclusivity and proximity to renowned golf courses and marinas characteristic of the western Costa del Sol. The opportunity to build a 330 m² villa on a plot of this size, close to the beach and amenities, positions this offering for buyers with specific desires who are willing to invest in custom development.
