Built in 2002, this detached villa is situated on a hilltop in Sayalonga, a tranquil rural area within the province of Málaga. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, the property offers a generous living space of 352 m² on a substantial 35,000 m² plot. The villa merges design with panoramic views over the Málaga coastline and the Mediterranean Sea. The expansive plot presents potential for agricultural use, particularly for exotic fruit cultivation. This location balances serenity with relatively good accessibility to amenities and the coast.
Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona, Aby Upper in Estepona, and Alba Benalmadena in Benalmádena, which range from €318,000 to €699,000, the Sayalonga villa is priced higher at €1,250,000. This higher price point is justified by its significantly larger plot size (35,000 m² compared to typical plots for apartments or smaller villas in the mentioned projects) and its exclusive rural location with panoramic views. The mentioned projects seem to focus more on a direct coastal lifestyle with central amenities, whereas the Sayalonga villa offers privacy, space, and a rural character, with the coast a short drive away. The property type (detached villa on a large estate) distinguishes it from the likely more compact residences in the comparison projects, which cater more to mass tourism or frequent holidaymakers prioritizing urban proximity.
