Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The project is located in the urban center of Benamargosa, situated at an elevation of 102 meters above sea level. The setting is classified as 'Town' and 'Close To Shops', indicating a central, built-up area. The immediate surroundings are characterized by urban amenities and dense development.

With an area of 472 m² and six bedrooms, this property addresses the need for substantial living space. The presence of a garage in the basement provides parking facilities. The house features a separate guest apartment in the basement, offering functionality for hosting visitors or generating rental income.
This concerns an existing property, not a new development project. The current status is habitable with potential for renovation. There are no plans for new construction phases; the physical state corresponds to the existing description, including a rooftop terrace that can be converted into additional space.
This project does not offer a swimming pool, a garden on the ground floor, or direct sea views due to its inland location. The plot measures 147 m², meaning outdoor space is limited to the terraces and the roof terrace. For beach visits, transportation is necessary despite the relatively short distance.

The property features amenities such as double glazing and a partially fitted kitchen. The finish can be described as functional. The presence of a fireplace in the living room is a fixed feature. For materials used, reference is made to the property images, showing a traditional, robust finish. No specific energy label is mentioned in the data.
The asking price is set at €478,000. This is a 'starting from' price indication for the entire property. There are no variations in unit types; this is a unique home. The pricing reflects the volume of 472 m² of living space. Additional costs such as transfer tax and notary fees are not included.

Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000) and Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000), Benamargosa offers a lower entry price for a larger living area. However, the location is inland, meaning one is further from the beach and golf courses. While coastal projects focus on luxury and sea views, this project offers the authenticity of a Spanish village. Astra Homes in Fuengirola is cheaper (€364,000) but likely offers less space. Choosing Benamargosa is a choice for space and village life over direct beach access.
