This exceptional 2,200 m² plot offers a unique opportunity for the development of an exclusive villa in Benahavís, Málaga. Located within a secure country club estate, it boasts an elevated position with panoramic views of the coastline, mountains, and the Mediterranean Sea. The plot has already been prepared with a flattened terrain and the construction of a large retaining wall, saving significant preparatory costs.
This plot in Benahavís stands out for its exceptional combination of an elevated position with panoramic views and the completed preparatory groundwork. Compared to Marbella Club Hills Phase 2 (from €830,000) and Enebros Phase 2 (from €1,490,000), this €1,180,000 plot offers a larger area and significant preparatory advantages. Lyra Residences (from €1,510,000) represents an even higher price bracket, possibly featuring completed homes or projects with a different focus. The price of this plot is competitive considering the investment in land preparation and its unique location. While Marbella Club Hills likely offers smaller plots or a different orientation, and Lyra Residences and Enebros Phase 2 might be closer to the coast or in more developed areas, this offering positions itself as an attractive option for buyers willing to invest in a custom-built villa with spectacular views in an exclusive environment. Proximity to golf courses is a constant feature in Benahavís, but the specific elevation and view profile of this plot are distinguishing factors.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is situated inland in a tranquil, rural setting within Benahavís, renowned for its natural beauty and exclusive golf resorts. Its proximity to amenities such as shops and hospitals, combined with the serene atmosphere, offers a balanced living environment.
This is an ideal location for those wishing to build a bespoke villa with sea and mountain views. The potential to construct a property of up to 462 m² internal build, including a basement, provides substantial flexibility for personal design choices.
This project involves the development of an individual villa on a plot, with the construction phase yet to commence. A conceptual design is available, but buyers also have the option to engage their own architect. The nearby El Lago Project is slated for completion in late 2027.
The plot does not currently feature any existing structures or infrastructure. Development requires a complete new build project in accordance with local regulations. Its inland location means direct access to the beach on foot is not feasible.
This plot is suitable for a developer or private buyer aiming to create a bespoke, high-end residence in a prestigious Spanish region. It is a fitting choice for investors anticipating value growth on the Costa del Sol, particularly with the planned development of the nearby El Lago Project. Buyers who prefer a tranquil, rural setting with spectacular views, yet desire convenient access to golf courses and coastal amenities, will find this location appealing. The completed groundwork makes the plot attractive for those looking to expedite the construction process and immediately begin designing and building their dream villa. It also serves as an option for purchasers seeking a long-term investment with potential for significant capital appreciation driven by future regional developments.
The quality of the future villa will entirely depend on the buyer's and their architect's choices, as this is a development plot. However, a conceptual design is available, offering an indication of the potential finishing standards. The location itself, within a secure country club, implies an environment where high standards are expected. The groundwork already undertaken, including site levelling and retaining wall construction, provides a solid foundation for building. The future residence can be designed using materials and techniques that meet contemporary luxury and sustainability requirements, fitting the exclusive surroundings and intended views.
The plot is offered at €1,180,000. This price reflects the exclusive location, generous 2,200 m² plot size, and the already completed preparatory work, such as land levelling and the construction of a retaining wall. This saves the buyer an estimated €150,000 to €200,000 in initial construction costs. The plot allows for the development of a villa with an internal area of up to 462 m², including a basement. Given the development in Benahavís and its proximity to Marbella, this pricing positions it within the higher end of the land market.
