This substantial parcel of land, spanning over 4.5 hectares, is situated in Cerros del Águila, near Málaga. Offering a unique opportunity, the land is ready for development, with its current status reflecting a completed 1970 structure, providing a foundation for future endeavours. With a significant plot size, it presents potential for various uses, subject to planning permissions. Its location within the vibrant Costa del Sol region positions it advantageously for those seeking space and natural surroundings.
Compared to developments like Aquamar in Torre del Mar, Lantana Residencial in Mijas, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, which are typically apartment or townhouse complexes with prices starting from €205,000 to €269,950, this offering stands apart significantly. This property is a substantial land parcel, priced at €945,000, focusing on the potential for large-scale development or a private rural estate rather than completed residential units. While the other examples offer ready-to-move-in homes in established or developing residential areas, this land in Cerros del Águila represents an opportunity for a bespoke project, be it agricultural, eco-tourism, or a grand private residence. Its extensive size of over 4.5 hectares contrasts sharply with the typical smaller plots or urbanizaciones of most coastal developments. The value proposition here is the land itself and its strategic location offering views and privacy, rather than immediate habitation. It appeals to a different buyer profile, one seeking space, autonomy, and the potential to shape a development from the ground up in a desirable region like the Costa del Sol, rather than purchasing a finished property.
