Discover this expansive finca, nestled in the serene hills of Ojén, a short distance from the vibrant coastline of Marbella. With a generous plot of 60,000 m², this property offers an unparalleled combination of tranquility, space, and natural potential. The existing house is ready for immediate occupancy, providing a solid foundation for a life amidst nature while maintaining proximity to urban amenities and the Mediterranean Sea. This is an excellent opportunity for those seeking a rustic lifestyle with potential for agricultural or recreational development.
Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this property in Ojén offers a significantly larger plot and a more rural setting. The price of €480,000 for this property is consistent with the size of the estate and its built structures. Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000) is priced at a higher level and is located closer to the coast, which typically implies a higher market value. The unique rural location of the finca in Ojén, with its own spring and extensive lands, distinguishes it from the more standardized apartment complexes in Estepona. This property caters more to a lifestyle focused on space, nature, and agricultural potential, whereas the other projects are more oriented towards the immediate coastal lifestyle and new-build apartments. However, the distance to Marbella and Málaga Airport (34 km) provides a good balance between seclusion and accessibility.
