This property is well-suited for individuals or couples seeking a permanent residence or a second home in a tranquil setting, away from the more developed coastal areas. It appeals to those who prioritise a calm, authentic Spanish village experience, perhaps for retirement or a lifestyle change. The necessity of a car for daily errands and accessing broader facilities means it is ideal for residents who prefer this mode of transport. Families might find it suitable if they value proximity to local schools and a community environment, provided they are comfortable with the distances to larger towns or beaches. It also represents an option for those looking to invest in a less tourist-centric part of the Costa del Sol, potentially offering a different market dynamic compared to prime coastal locations.
The apartment, built in 2015, presents a 'Good' condition, suggesting a reasonable standard of upkeep and construction. Features such as fitted wardrobes, double glazing, and a fully fitted kitchen indicate practical, modern living standards. The inclusion of air conditioning (hot and cold) ensures comfort throughout the year, a valuable feature given the inland climate variations. The presence of a lift and access for people with reduced mobility points to a development designed with convenience and inclusivity in mind. Fiber optic connectivity ensures modern communication needs are met. While described as 'Part Furnished', this implies essential elements are present, with scope for the new owner to personalise the space with their own furniture and decorative choices.
The apartment is listed at a starting price of €225,000. This price reflects a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit with 89 square metres of constructed area. As a completed resale property, it represents a specific point of entry into the Monda property market. Variations in pricing for similar properties would typically depend on factors such as specific location within the development, exact finishes, and any subsequent improvements made by previous owners. The asking price provides a benchmark for comparable properties in the immediate vicinity and the wider region.
