Compared to 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 (€1,750,000). This is justifiable due to the plot size (2067 m² vs. typically smaller plots in new developments), the existing structure with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, and its specific location in the exclusive El Paraiso Alto. While the comparable projects offer new builds with modern facilities, this villa primarily offers potential for personalization and expansion on a large plot within an established, upscale residential area. The price per square meter is relatively favorable considering the potential for significant value addition through renovation and optimization, requiring a different investment strategy than purchasing a ready-to-move-in new build.
