Within Benahavís, this property presents an interesting proposition when compared to other developments. Fuente Lirios offers entry points from approximately €395,000 but with less proximity to golf facilities and smaller outdoor spaces. Altura 160, with prices starting from €569,000, provides more luxury specifications but at a significant premium and with reduced living area. When considering Estepona developments such as Acqua Gardens (from €524,600), the Benahavís location offers greater tranquillity and traditional atmosphere, though Estepona provides more immediate access to beaches and town-centre amenities. The Mirador del Golf complex benefits from its established nature as a 2021 completion, with all infrastructure fully operational and community services functioning efficiently. Compared to more coastal developments, this property offers substantially more private outdoor space and a quieter environment, though it requires greater dependence on private transport for daily activities.
