This detached villa in El Rosario, Málaga, built in 2004, offers a tranquil living experience. Situated inland, it provides a serene environment away from the immediate coastal bustle, yet remains accessible to regional centres. With 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms spread across 270 m² on a 476 m² plot, the property is ready for immediate occupancy. It presents a blend of established comfort and potential for customisation, suitable for those seeking a peaceful residence in southern Spain.
Compared to new developments like Aquamar in Torre del Mar, Lantana Residencial in Mijas, or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, which often start from lower price points (ranging from €205,000 to €269,950) and feature modern construction, this villa in El Rosario is an established property priced at €890,000. Its detached nature, larger plot, and 5-bedroom configuration distinguish it from many of the smaller, more densely built apartment complexes or townhouses found in developments closer to the coast. While those projects offer contemporary designs and potentially higher energy efficiency, this villa provides a more substantial, individual home in a settled, inland residential area. The price reflects the size, number of rooms, and established nature of the property, contrasting with the 'off-plan' or 'under construction' status of many newer offerings in the region. Its location in El Rosario offers a different lifestyle proposition, more serene and less tourist-centric than areas immediately adjacent to popular beaches or marinas.
