It caters to desires for privacy, expansive views, and the integration of modern living features within a substantial private plot.
The development status is 'Gereed' (Ready), indicating that the plot is prepared for construction to commence. This signifies that foundational infrastructure is likely in place, allowing prospective owners to initiate the building process without delay, subject to planning permissions.
This offering is for a land plot only, meaning it does not include an existing structure or finished dwelling. Potential buyers must factor in the entire cost and timeline associated with designing and constructing a property from the ground up. No furnished or ready-to-occupy home is provided.
This plot is well-suited for prospective buyers who envision creating a substantial, bespoke residence tailored to their exact specifications. It appeals to those seeking a private sanctuary with ample space for extensive gardens, swimming pools, and outdoor entertaining, all set against a backdrop of scenic views. Individuals looking to build a property that maximises natural light and integrates modern architectural elements would find this offering advantageous. Furthermore, it is suitable for families requiring proximity to international schools and the amenities of the Costa del Sol, while desiring a more secluded living environment. The plot's ready status suggests it is appropriate for buyers who wish to commence the design and construction phase without significant delays associated with land acquisition and preparation.
As a residential plot, specific details on the 'kwaliteit_afwerking' (quality of finishes) are not applicable to the land itself. However, the context of La Alquería and the surrounding high-end developments implies that any future construction on this plot would likely aim for premium materials and sophisticated design. Buyers would be responsible for selecting all finishes, from structural components to interior details. The plot's size and location suggest potential for a high-specification residence, with ample room for features such as expansive terraces, luxury swimming pools, and landscaping, all contributing to an overall high-quality living environment upon completion.
The asking price for this 1552 m² residential plot is €1,950,000. As a plot, the price reflects the land value and its potential for development, rather than an existing structure. Pricing in exclusive areas like La Alquería is typically influenced by location, plot size, views, and the overall desirability of the surrounding environment, which often includes prestigious golf courses and secure, private urbanisations. Availability of such substantial plots with development potential in prime locations can be limited, contributing to the premium pricing.
Benahavís, nestled in the hills behind Marbella, offers a distinct lifestyle away from the immediate coastal bustle, yet remains within easy reach of its attractions. This specific plot in La Alquería is positioned for a tranquil existence, characterised by natural surroundings and expansive vistas that include the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent golf courses.

The municipality of Benahavís itself provides a local flavour with restaurants and cafes, but for a broader range of services, shopping, and entertainment, residents would typically travel to nearby towns like Marbella or Estepona, approximately 15-20 minutes away by car. The necessary reliance on a vehicle for daily life is a key aspect of residing in this location.

The Benahavís municipality, and particularly areas like La Alquería, are distinguished by their focus on luxury villas and golf estates, setting them apart from the more densely populated or commercialised coastal strips of Marbella or Estepona. While developments such as 'Be Lagom' (€1,890,000) and 'La Finca de Jasmine' (€2,250,000) in Benahavís offer finished or near-finished properties, this plot represents a significant opportunity for customisation at a competitive entry price point for the area, compared to 'Tiara' (€1,550,000) which might offer a smaller plot or different location attributes. The price of €1,950,000 for this plot reflects its size, prime location within an exclusive urbanisation, and the potential for panoramic views. Unlike beachfront properties which often carry a premium for direct sea access, properties in Benahavís leverage their elevated positions for expansive vistas and a sense of exclusivity, often appealing to buyers seeking privacy and golf proximity over immediate beach access.
