This project concerns an existing, excellently maintained villa. The property is currently in very good condition and does not require immediate new construction plans. The focus is on preserving and enjoying the existing architecture and facilities, with possibilities for personal adjustments within the current structure.
The property does not currently offer a new development opportunity. While the location is near the coast, it is not a beachfront property with direct access to the sand. The villa is not equipped with its own charging stations for electric vehicles; the nearest one is 10 km away. The property is not situated within a nature park or protected area.
This villa is a suitable choice for buyers seeking a spacious and comfortable home on the Costa del Sol, preferring an established urban environment that is still close to the coast. The property is ideal for large families or for those who frequently host guests, given the ample number of bedrooms and bathrooms.

Investors looking for a property with potential in a desirable region may also consider this property, although the primary focus is on residential use.
The villa is in excellent condition, indicating high construction quality and careful finishing. Features such as air conditioning (providing both heating and cooling) ensure an optimal indoor climate throughout the year. The southwest orientation maximizes natural light exposure and the warm afternoon sun, contributing to living comfort. The presence of a fireplace adds ambiance and warmth to the living spaces. The panoramic views of the sea, mountains, and surrounding landscape, combined with the view of the private swimming pool, enhance the property's appeal. The layout with separate areas for pool terraces, sunny and shaded terraces, and proximity to amenities suggests thoughtful architecture focused on comfort and quality of life.
The asking price for this detached villa is €2,500,000. This price point places the property in the higher segment of the residential market in Manilva. The villa features 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, with a spacious living area of 661 m², putting the price per square meter into perspective relative to other properties in the region. Specific features, such as its location in an urban area near the coast and its extensive facilities, support the pricing.

Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, offered from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively, this villa in Manilva positions itself in a significantly higher price bracket. This pricing is justified by its generous dimensions (661 m² living area, 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms) and its specific location in an urban environment near the coast, appealing to a different buyer profile than the more compact apartments in Estepona. Alba Benalmadena, with a starting price of €699,000, is closer in pricing, but Manilva generally offers a slightly quieter and more residential atmosphere compared to the busier parts of Benalmádena. The focus on spacious, individual villas in Manilva, such as this property, distinguishes itself from the apartment complexes elsewhere and targets buyers who prioritize space, privacy, and individual amenities, like a private pool and large plots, which are less prominent in the mentioned Estepona projects.
