The location is rural and quiet, situated at 659 meters above sea level, resulting in a cooler climate compared to the coast. The residence features a fireplace and a fully fitted kitchen.

Compared to projects in coastal towns like Mijas or Fuengirola, the purchase price of this object is significantly lower for the offering of square meters of living space and plot size. Projects like Arosa in Mijas start from €490,000 for often less land. In Fuengirola, such as at Waterfall Residences, prices are around €720,000. The difference lies in the location: this finca offers rural peace and space, but requires a greater distance to beaches and international airports. For buyers prioritizing space and nature over amenities within walking distance, this project offers a financial advantage.
