This building plot in Valtocado, priced at €275,000, offers a significantly larger plot size compared to most available plots directly on the coast or in the more developed areas of the Costa del Sol. Projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000) are typically developments featuring completed apartments or penthouses, representing a different category of investment. Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000) also involves finished homes, often with higher price tags reflecting their location near popular coastal towns. Compared to these projects, Valtocado presents the unique opportunity to build a new, custom-designed villa on a spacious plot, implying a different pricing structure and development potential. The price per square meter for land here is relatively favorable, especially considering the prominent views and tranquil setting that are scarcer and more expensive in central coastal locations. The Mijas region offers a blend of traditional Andalusian charm and modern amenities, appealing to a specific buyer profile that prioritizes tranquility over immediate beach access.
