This offering in Casares Playa, Málaga, presents a unique opportunity to acquire a ready-to-build residential plot of 1010 m². With a granted building licence for a contemporary villa of approximately 400 m² built area, the project bypasses lengthy planning procedures. The indicative completion date for the existing structure is 1970, but the focus is on the potential for new construction. Situated in an established area, it promises a blend of peaceful living with convenient access to essential amenities and recreational facilities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is strategically positioned in Casares Playa, offering proximity to the beach and daily conveniences. It is located 27 km from the nearest airport, making travel accessible. While a car is beneficial for exploring the wider region, local amenities are reachable on foot, suggesting a degree of self-sufficiency within the immediate vicinity.
This plot caters to individuals or investors seeking to construct a modern villa tailored to specific needs. The granted licence allows for the realisation of a circa 400 m² home, designed with contemporary architecture. It appeals to those desiring a custom-built property with ample living space, private terraces, a garden, and a swimming pool, set against a backdrop of golf course and natural views.
The plot is designated for new construction, with a fully approved villa project already in place. This means the buyer can proceed directly to the building phase, significantly reducing lead times associated with planning permissions. The existing cadastral reference points to a structure completed around 1970, but the primary value lies in the approved plans for a modern dwelling.
This offering is for a residential plot and does not include an existing habitable dwelling. The completed structure referenced from 1970 is indicative of the plot's history rather than its current state for occupancy. Buyers must undertake the construction of a new villa as per the approved licence, and therefore, immediate occupancy is not possible.
This property is suited for individuals or families prioritising the creation of a bespoke home in a sought-after coastal region. It is ideal for those who wish to bypass the complexities and delays of the planning permission process, enabling a faster transition to construction. The proximity to golf courses and the beach appeals to active lifestyles and those seeking leisure opportunities. Furthermore, it presents an attractive prospect for investors looking for a 'ready-to-build' project in an area known for its steady property market. The location offers a blend of serene residential living with convenient access to amenities, suitable for both permanent relocation and exclusive holiday use.
As this is a plot with an approved building licence, specific details regarding the quality of finishes for the proposed villa are based on the architectural concept. The approved design envisions a contemporary villa with modern architecture, open-plan living spaces, and large windows to maximise natural light and views. Materials and techniques would typically align with modern construction standards for energy efficiency and durability, suitable for the Mediterranean climate. Buyers have the opportunity to influence the final finishes during the construction phase, ensuring a high standard of living tailored to their preferences.
The residential plot is offered at a price of €375,000. This price reflects the value of the land combined with the significant advantage of a pre-approved building licence for a substantial villa. The plot size of 1010 m² offers ample space for a generous home and garden. While specific details on different plot sizes or configurations are not provided, the current offering is for this single, ready-to-build plot, indicating its unique availability for immediate development commencement.

Compared to developments like Aquamar in Torre del Mar or Lantana Residencial in Mijas, this Casares Playa plot offers a distinct advantage due to its 'ready-to-build' status with an existing licence, which is often a significant hurdle for new developments elsewhere. While those projects might offer completed units or different price points, this plot focuses on the potential for customisation and immediate construction. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona presents a similar contemporary focus, but this Casares plot's unique selling proposition remains the granted licence. The price point of €375,000 for a plot of this size with planning permission positions it as a strategic investment in a well-established area known for its quality of life, golf, and coastal access, differentiating it from potentially more entry-level offerings in other regions.
