This 513 m² plot in Benahavís, Málaga, presents an opportunity to construct a modern villa with a buildable area of 314 m². Situated in a tranquil, rural setting, the location offers proximity to the coast while retaining the serenity of the hinterland. Its accessibility is practical, being only 4 kilometers from the nearest supermarket and 6.7 kilometers from a hospital. With mountain views and a southwest orientation, this plot is a foundation for a home designed for a luxury lifestyle, including features like a lift and a private swimming pool.
Within the Benahavís region, various projects cater to a similar demographic, including Azurean Marbella (from €707,972) and Solenne (from €990,000). This specific building plot, starting at €795,000, is priced between these two but distinguishes itself by offering the possibility to build a fully customized villa on a 513 m² plot. Compared to projects closer to the coast, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800), the Benahavís location provides a quieter and more rural character, which is a deliberate choice for buyers wishing to avoid the hustle of the immediate coastline in favor of more serene environments and views. The focus here is on creating an exclusive residence with space and privacy.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

The emphasis is on maximizing living comfort and creating a luxurious aesthetic, with significant attention to terraces and views. The final finishes and material choices will depend on the buyer, who has the freedom to personalize the home according to their taste within the approved plan's parameters.
