This project represents a distinctive opportunity for those looking to create a luxury villa in the sought-after region of Benahavís, Málaga. Situated on a 1020 m² plot with panoramic views, it offers the potential for a complete transformation. The existing structure has been largely demolished, paving the way for a new design that blends timeless elegance with contemporary functionality. Its location, surrounded by nature and close to several golf courses, provides a serene lifestyle within easy reach of the coast.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is located inland in Benahavís, a tranquil area known for its natural beauty and golf resorts. Despite its peaceful setting, the coastline with its beaches and marine facilities, such as Puerto Banús, is within reasonable distance, offering a balance between serene seclusion and access to coastal activities.
This project is aimed at buyers who wish to realize a home according to their own design and specifications. The complete demolition of the existing structure offers maximum flexibility for a personalized layout, high-quality finishes, and the integration of modern technologies, resulting in an exclusive residence.
The project is in the initial phase of reconstruction following demolition. The estimated construction time for the new build is approximately 12 months. This provides the buyer with the opportunity to be closely involved in the building process, from foundation to final finishing, and thus guide the realization of their dream villa.
The villa is currently a demolition site requiring a complete new construction. There is no existing finish or interior design in place. A car is necessary for daily travel due to the rural location and limited public transport options in the immediate vicinity.

This project is suitable for the ambitious buyer who wishes to undertake a bespoke project, far from standardization. It is ideal for investors transforming an existing structure into a luxury residence with significant potential for value appreciation, or for families desiring to design an exclusive home with specific requirements for space, style, and amenities, such as six bedrooms and six bathrooms. The rural location appeals to those seeking tranquility while desiring proximity to amenities and the coast. The opportunity to start from scratch allows for the integration of all modern conveniences and personal preferences, considering the climate and lifestyle of the Costa del Sol.
As the project involves complete new construction after demolition, the final quality and finishes are entirely at the buyer's discretion. This includes the selection of high-quality materials for both construction and interior finishing, such as natural stone, luxury flooring, state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, and sanitary ware. The modern image analysis reveals impressions of a sleek, contemporary style with abundant glass, spacious terraces, and a focus on creating a luxurious living experience with open living areas. The specific construction details will be determined during the design phase, with attention to sea, mountain, and golf views.
The current asking price for this project is €3,900,000. This refers to the land with the demolished structure, ready for a new construction project. It is estimated that the value of the completed villa, based on comparable sales in the area, will range between €8,000,000 and €9,000,000. The price excludes the costs for the new construction, which will vary depending on the chosen specifications and finishes. This positions the project in the upper segment of the market, targeting buyers with specific desires for an exclusive residence.

Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens (€418,800) and Aby Upper (€320,000) in Estepona, or Alba Benalmádena (€699,000), this project positions itself in a significantly higher market segment. The price of €3,900,000 for the current state of the land, with an estimated final value of €8-9 million, is characteristic of luxury residences in exclusive enclaves such as Benahavís, which cater to buyers seeking custom-made quality and exclusivity. This region distinguishes itself through its concentration of high-end golf resorts and its quieter, more rural environment compared to the more direct coastal locations in Estepona. The focus here is not on affordability, but on creating a unique, custom-built luxury villa with significant potential for value growth, surrounded by world-class nature and sports facilities.
