Compared to projects like Aquamar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 (from €239,000) in Torre del Mar, Mijas, and Estepona respectively, this villa in Marbesa is positioned in a significantly higher price bracket. The aforementioned projects typically offer new-build apartments or houses in developing areas, with considerably lower price points. The €1,850,000 for this property in Marbesa is primarily justified by its prime location in an established, desirable neighbourhood near the beach and its potential for substantial redevelopment on a large plot. This contrasts with more standardized new-build projects elsewhere, which cater to a broader market segment aiming for entry-level properties. In Marbesa, the focus is on exclusivity, location, and development value, explaining the higher price compared to the mentioned comparable projects.
