This property is a detached villa located in El Chaparral, Málaga, with a starting price of €1,680,000. The residence features 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 315 m² of living space on a 577 m² plot. The villa is already built and available. Situated in an urban environment, it offers amenities within walking distance, while the beach is only 6.2 km away as the crow flies. Its proximity to Málaga Airport (7.8 km as the crow flies) further enhances its excellent accessibility.
Compared to surrounding projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800), Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), and Alba Benalmadena in Benalmadena (from €699,000), this villa is positioned in a higher price bracket. This is partly explained by its larger plot size, existing living volume, and specific location in El Chaparral, which potentially offers more exclusivity or specific advantages, such as direct proximity to certain amenities or a unique view. The other mentioned projects appear to be new developments focusing on apartments or smaller villas, priced for a broader market segment. The asking price of €1,680,000 for this villa, which also requires a full renovation, indicates a project aimed at buyers willing to invest in a larger, individual property with significant customization potential. The focus here is less on the entry price and more on the size, location, and the possibility of bespoke design.
