The asking price for this plot with an approved building project is €1,350,000. This includes the land, architectural design, and building license for a villa with 1,130 m² of living space. The pricing reflects the exclusive El Madroñal location, plot size, panoramic views, and the acquired building title, offering significant time savings compared to obtaining a new permit.

Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this plot in El Madroñal (€1,350,000) is in a higher price bracket, justified by its exclusive location, plot size, and the presence of an approved luxury building project. While the Estepona projects might offer apartments or smaller villas focused on coastal proximity, El Madroñal provides a greater degree of privacy, space, and a rural, hillside setting. Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000) sits price-wise between the Estepona projects and El Madroñal, but the locations and project types differ significantly. El Madroñal positions itself as a top-tier destination for those seeking a spacious, custom-built villa with guaranteed tranquility and exclusivity, unlike projects focusing on the broader market of coastal apartments or smaller homes. The initial investment is higher here, but the end product aims to offer significantly greater value and quality of life in one of the Costa del Sol's most prestigious areas.
