Despite this, the property is strategically positioned relative to the coast and key amenities, offering a balance between tranquility and accessibility.
This apartment is designed for those seeking space, comfort, and a high standard of finish. The layout with three bedrooms and two bathrooms is suitable for families or for those who desire extra space for guests or a home office. The large terrace and communal facilities contribute to an extensive living experience, both indoors and outdoors.
The project is currently in the 'Ready' construction phase, meaning the building is complete and the apartment is immediately available for occupancy. This eliminates the uncertainty of construction timelines, allowing potential buyers to enjoy their new home on the Costa del Sol without delay.
While the apartment offers tranquility and nature, it's important to note that a car is essential for daily commuting due to its inland location. Furthermore, as an apartment complex with communal facilities, it offers less private outdoor space compared to a detached villa.

Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this apartment in Istán positions itself in a higher price bracket, starting at €795,000. This higher price point may be explained by its specific location in tranquil Istán, its generous 203 m² size, and its excellent state of maintenance. Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000) is closer in price, but the Istán apartment's location, inland and with a more rural character, distinguishes it from the coastal-focused projects in Estepona and Benalmádena. While the Estepona projects might emphasize direct beach access and urban amenities, Istán offers a combination of natural tranquility and proximity to Marbella. Market prices in the Málaga region show a wide spread, depending on location, size, and amenities. This specific apartment in Istán appears to target buyers who value space, quiet, and views, possibly at the expense of direct beachfront access or the lower entry prices of some coastal developments.
