The size of the apartment and the two en-suite bathrooms make it functional for extended stays or for hosting guests.

Build Quality & Finishing

The apartment features continuous marble flooring, providing a uniform and luxurious aesthetic. Climate control is managed by air conditioning for both cooling and heating, supplemented by a fireplace in the living area for added ambiance and warmth. The architecture of the Los Viñedos urbanisation, designed by Anton Yeregui, is characterized by a distinctive Andalusian style, set amidst gardens. The windows, particularly the large one connecting the kitchen and living room, contribute to a bright and open atmosphere. The two en-suite bathrooms are finished in a modern style, as evidenced by images showing white marble tiles and showers.

Regional Comparison

This apartment in La Mairena stands out due to its elevated location and its quiet, rural ambiance, contrasting with more coast-focused projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar, Lantana Residencial in Mijas, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona. These comparable projects, with starting prices of €269,950, €205,000, and €259,000 respectively, are typically situated closer to the coastline and urban centers. The higher price of the La Mairena apartment (€449,000) is justified by its distinctive setting, the generous 145 m² living area, and the spectacular panoramic views, which are rarer in lower, more built-up locations. While the comparable projects are more affordable, they do not offer the same level of exclusivity and serene environment that La Mairena provides. Accessibility is a consideration; La Mairena requires a car for most daily commutes, whereas projects closer to towns might offer more public transport options. The focus on peace, nature, and views in La Mairena attracts a specific buyer who prioritizes these qualities over immediate beach access or urban vibrancy.
