Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens (€418,800) and Aby Upper (€320,000) in Estepona, this villa in Monda offers significantly more space, both in terms of living area (225 m² vs. typically smaller for the mentioned prices) and plot size (4951 m² vs. usually smaller plots in coastal areas). The price of €535,000 for the Monda villa reflects this larger scale and its rural location, while the Estepona projects are likely closer to amenities and the beach, influencing their pricing.
