This project is suitable for buyers looking for a strategic location to realize their own residential development. It targets individuals or families intending to build a custom villa, with a preference for an environment that is both tranquil and well-connected. The proximity to golf courses, beaches, and Málaga Airport makes it attractive to lifestyle seekers and investors who see potential in developing property in a popular tourist region. It requires a long-term development vision and the willingness to invest in a construction project, possibly for personal use or rental potential.

The future development of a villa on this plot offers complete freedom to select materials and finishing levels that meet the highest standards. The southeast orientation and location at 263 meters altitude provide potential for views and optimal light. Building possibilities must align with local building regulations and the specific site characteristics, including the significant 10.6% slope towards the coast, which necessitates architectural considerations.

Compared to other projects on the Costa del Sol, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this plot in Benalmadena Pueblo is positioned in a higher price bracket, starting at €549,000. This could be attributed to its specific location in a hilly, urban area with potential for views, and its larger size of 2001 m². The nearby Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000) offers a comparable price indication, suggesting that Benalmádena supports a market for higher-priced residential plots. While the Estepona projects might be closer to the coastline, Benalmadena Pueblo offers a combination of altitude, views, and village character. The investment value should be weighed against construction costs and the specific site characteristics, such as the slope and existing urban infrastructure.
