Moderate
Compared to residential projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (€269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (€205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (€259,000), this business operates in a different market segment. The €120,000 price for an established food business with e-commerce is not directly comparable to purchasing residential property. However, the location in La Duquesa, Manilva, shares the appeal of the western Costa del Sol with Estepona, known for its growth and international community. While residential projects focus on living spaces, this offering presents a commercial opportunity. Proximity to beaches and golf courses is a common feature with many regional residential developments, indicating an area with a high quality of life and tourism potential. The focus on expats and an international clientele is also characteristic of the broader Costa del Sol, but this project specifically targets the food retail and online trade niche.
