The property is located at an altitude of 395 meters, resulting in a steeper incline towards the beach. Although the environment is quiet and rural, a car is essential for daily commutes and accessing amenities.

The home is ideal for large families or those who frequently host guests, given its six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Individuals who value peace, space, and an exclusive location away from the immediate coastal hustle will feel at home here. It is also a consideration for investors interested in properties with significant land in a desirable region, although the focus here is on immediate residential use.

Compared to projects closer to the coast, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) or Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this villa is positioned in a higher price bracket (€2,750,000). This difference is directly attributable to the larger plot size, the exclusive elevated location with panoramic views, and the generous 477 m² living area. Projects like Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000) offer a more mid-range option, often closer to urban centers and amenities, but with less exclusivity and privacy than the La Mairena location. The unique positioning of this villa, with its views and rural character, sets it apart from the more densely built-up coastal areas. Proximity to golf courses, such as El Soto Golf at 1.5 km, is a strong asset for golfers preferring a quieter environment over immediate beachfront locations. The necessity of a car is a common characteristic for hillside locations, but here it is compensated by the high degree of privacy and the breathtaking landscape.
