Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located in El Madroñal, an exclusive and secure enclave, this plot benefits from a peaceful, rural atmosphere. The surroundings offer a natural setting with forests, while essential amenities such as supermarkets and pharmacies are within a short distance.
This plot is suitable for buyers who wish to design and build their own villa. It provides the flexibility to create a home that meets specific requirements for space, style, and views, with the advantage of existing infrastructure.

This is a building plot, not a ready-to-move-in property. The plot does not offer direct access to public transport, and a car is necessary for most daily commutes. While amenities are nearby, the immediate surroundings are predominantly rural and quiet, not urban.
This building plot is ideal for buyers who want to be actively involved in designing and constructing their own home on the Costa del Sol.

As a building plot, specific finishing details of an existing property do not apply. However, the location itself is part of a secure urbanization, indicating a certain level of maintenance and planning of public spaces. Access roads are paved, and utilities such as water, electricity, and sewage are available up to the plot boundary. Potential buyers will determine the quality of the final residence by selecting an architect and contractor that meet their standards. The east-south orientation suggests good natural light throughout the day, enhancing liveability.
This plot is offered starting from €900,000. The price is determined by the plot size and its exclusive location within El Madroñal. One plot with these specifications is available. The pricing reflects its status as a building plot in a sought-after area, with the potential for developing a luxury residence. Its value is also influenced by the opportunity to create a custom-built home with potential for desirable views.

This building plot in El Madroñal, Benahavís, positions itself as a premium option for those looking to build a bespoke villa in an exclusive area. Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens or Aby Upper in Estepona (starting from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively), which typically offer apartments or smaller homes closer to the coast, El Madroñal provides significantly more space and privacy. The price of €900,000 for a plot is comparable to or higher than the starting prices of these apartment complexes, but this is due to the nature of the product: a spacious land parcel versus a finished dwelling. Alba Benalmádena (starting from €699,000) also offers a higher segment, but often in a more urban or tourist-centric context. The Benahavís location, renowned for its luxury villas and golf resorts, attracts a specific clientele willing to pay a premium for space, views, and exclusivity, away from the busier coastal strips but still within reasonable driving distance of amenities.
