Villas under €1 million
€600K – €1M
Sub-€1M villa supply on the Costa del Sol is concentrated in five municipalities: Mijas, Estepona inland, Manilva, Casares and parts of Benahavís. Inside Marbella municipality, the sub-€1M villa is essentially extinct — what exists is either a small townhouse, a heavy renovation project, or a rustic-land villa with legal complexities.
Where to look
Mijas (Sitio de Calahonda, Calanova, La Cala Hills): the deepest sub-€1M villa supply. Estepona inland (Selwo Hills, Pueblo Nuevo de Guadiaro adjacent, Casares Costa inland): newer villa stock at €700–900K. Manilva: smaller villas with sea views at €500–800K. Benahavís lower sections (El Paraíso, parts of La Quinta): 3-bed villas at €800K–1M.
What you get
Typically a 3–4 bed villa, 200–300m² built, 600–1,200m² plot, private pool, partial sea or mountain view. Build year varies widely — 1990s to 2010s is common. Always verify the legal status (catastral, Nota Simple) particularly on rustic-land properties built before 2000.
