This development plot in Manilva targets the project development segment, distinguishing itself from completed apartment complexes like Aquamar in Torre del Mar or Lantana Residencial in Mijas, which cater to individual buyers with prices starting from €269,950 and €205,000 respectively. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, with starting prices from €269,000, also falls into the category of finished homes. The Manilva plot, priced at €2,300,000, is aimed at developers looking to leverage economies of scale from a large plot in an established urbanization. Its proximity to Gibraltar and the specific characteristics of Bahía Las Rocas, an area with a proven track record of successful projects, offer a distinctive opportunity not directly comparable to smaller projects selling individual homes. The focus here is on the land's potential and development capabilities rather than the immediate purchase of a property.
