Building plot in Monte Mayor, Benahavís, with sea views

This building plot of 3,127 m² sits inside a gated community in Benahavís. The land is mostly flat, which is not something you can take for granted in the hills behind the coast. It faces south and south west and looks out over the sea, the mountains and the surrounding countryside.

Building potential

• Buildability of 12.2%, which allows roughly 381 m² above ground, subject to planning approval.
• The current owner has an existing villa design of about 1,050 m² in total, including a basement.
• The original building licence has expired. It may be possible to reactivate it, but this still needs to be confirmed.
• A buyer can also commission a new design and submit a fresh application.
• There is room for a swimming pool.

Flat ground makes construction simpler, gives more usable outdoor space and may reduce excavation and retaining wall costs. Nothing has been built yet, so the home is not yet ready to move in.

Location and surroundings

The community offers 24 hour security and a private feel. From the plot you look across mountains, valley and sea. The setting mixes village, countryside and mountain surroundings, with forest and golf courses nearby, as well as schools. The coast is about 8 to 10 minutes away. Benahavís, Marbella, Estepona, the beaches and international schools are all within easy reach.

A second plot

The neighbouring plot of about 4,570 m² is also available from the same owner. Together the two plots make a landholding of around 7,697 m².

Who it suits

This plot suits anyone who wants to build a villa to their own taste on level ground, with privacy and security. The option of combining both plots also makes it of interest to an investor or developer.
