Discover this spacious detached villa in Istán, a tranquil municipality in the province of Málaga. With 305 m² of living space, four bedrooms, and four bathrooms, this property offers a high level of comfort and room. The completed villa is situated inland, providing a distinctive blend of rural tranquility and proximity to urban amenities, with a starting price of €1,595,000. It represents an opportunity to enjoy the Andalusian lifestyle with modern facilities.
Compared to projects like Aquamar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 (from €259,000), which are located on the coast and represent a significantly lower price bracket, this villa in Istán positions itself in a different market segment. This villa, starting from €1,595,000, stands out due to its size (305 m²), property type (detached villa with private facilities), and its specific inland location in a quieter, more natural environment near Marbella. While the comparable projects target a broader audience with lower entry prices, the Istán villa offers exclusivity, space, and luxury in a serene setting. The distance to the coastline (9.2 km as the crow flies) and the necessity of a car for transport are characteristic of projects outside the immediate coastal strip, unlike most Costa del Sol developments that often feature direct beach access or short distances to amenities. The higher price reflects the premium location, size, and the added value of private amenities such as a gym and sauna, which are typically absent in less expensive apartment complexes.
