This project suits buyers who wish to design and build a custom home in a Spanish setting. It is an option for those who appreciate a peaceful living environment, with the convenience of amenities within walking or short driving distance, yet desire to realize their own villa. Individuals who value natural views, such as mountains and landscapes, and potentially enjoy golf (Lauro Golf is 5.4 km away), will feel at home here. It is a choice for those with the time and budget for a new construction project, seeking the flexibility to adapt the home to personal needs, away from the hustle and bustle but well-connected to the airport and coast.
The plots themselves provide the foundation for villa construction. The ultimate quality and finish of the home will depend on the builder's choices. The project allows for the utilization of approved building allowances, with 25% of the plot area permitted for construction. Some plots already feature natural stone retaining walls and excavations, which may indicate attention to landscape integration and a solid construction base. The open location and surrounding nature offer a canvas for realizing a home according to one's own design and specifications.
The development land is available starting from €177,450. The plots range in size from 1033 m² to 1367 m². The approved building area per plot ranges from 258 to 342 m², equivalent to a maximum of 25% of the plot size. Some plots are already partially prepared with retaining walls and excavations.

Compared to the direct coastline of the Costa del Sol, such as Torre del Mar (Aquamar, from €219,950) or Estepona (Etherna Homes 2, from €259,000), this location in Alhaurín el Grande offers a different price point and character. Land prices here start at €177,450, potentially more attractive for buyers seeking more land for their investment or preferring a living environment slightly removed from the immediate coastal bustle. While projects in Mijas (Lantana Residencial, from €205,000) also offer a mix of coast and inland, Alhaurín el Grande positions itself as a more traditional Spanish town with a strong local community and walkable amenities. The focus here is more on realizing a custom design on a spacious plot, surrounded by nature and overlooking the landscape, rather than the direct sea-view apartments often found on the coast.
