Compared to other projects in Vélez-Málaga, such as Celere Bavaria Golf (from €255,600) and Ambar Homes (from €254,950), this Finca offers a significantly larger plot size and a unique agricultural element with its mango plantation. The price of €340,000 is higher, but this reflects the rural setting and extensive land, attracting a different type of buyer than apartment complexes. Acqua Gardens in Estepona, with prices starting from €418,800, operates in a different market segment, typically focusing on new-build apartments closer to the coastline. This Finca stands out due to its character, land size, and potential for agricultural income, which is unique compared to more conventional residential developments in the region. Its location, inland but with sea views, offers a specific lifestyle not directly found in urban new-build projects.
