This is a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial building plot of 2,006 m² in the established residential area of El Paraiso, situated within the highly desirable Golden Triangle of Marbella, Benahavís, and Estepona. Located at an elevation of 41 metres, the plot offers panoramic sea views and is ready for immediate development. Its position in a suburban, urbanised setting provides a blend of tranquillity and convenient access to local amenities and recreational facilities, making it a compelling prospect for creating a bespoke luxury residence.
Compared to other residential plots or new developments in the broader Costa del Sol region, this offering in El Paraiso presents a distinct value proposition. Unlike the more densely populated or purely tourist-focused areas further east or west, El Paraiso offers a mature, established residential setting with a strong emphasis on lifestyle amenities like golf and proximity to the coast. Projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar, Lantana Residencial in Mijas, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, which are typically apartment or townhouse developments with starting prices significantly lower, cater to a different market segment focused on affordability or smaller footprint living. This plot, at €1,050,000, is positioned for the discerning buyer seeking to construct a substantial, individual villa in a prime location. Its readiness for development and the potential for panoramic sea views differentiate it from land parcels in more remote or less accessible areas, offering a balance of exclusivity and convenience.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is located in El Paraiso, an established urbanisation known for its proximity to golf courses and the coast. It benefits from a suburban setting with a high density of amenities within easy reach, yet offers a sense of privacy. Its elevated position at 41 metres above sea level contributes to the panoramic sea views.
This plot is suitable for individuals or families seeking to design and construct a custom-built detached villa. It caters to those who prioritise panoramic sea views, a convenient location near golf and beaches, and the ability to tailor a home to their specific lifestyle and aesthetic preferences, with ample space for gardens and private amenities.
The plot is designated for new construction, with the site ready for development. While the plot itself is available, construction has not yet commenced. A building licence application would be the next step for a prospective buyer, allowing for a bespoke design to be realised on the land.
This offering is for a building plot only, meaning no existing structure is included. The plot's development is subject to local planning regulations, including a 25% building occupation limit. Purchasers must factor in the costs and timeline associated with obtaining a building licence and constructing a new villa from the ground up.
This building plot is best suited for individuals or families who envision creating a bespoke luxury villa tailored to their exact specifications. It is ideal for those who have a clear idea of their desired architectural style, number of rooms, and specific amenities, such as a private pool and landscaped gardens. The location appeals to golf enthusiasts, with multiple courses nearby, and those who appreciate being close to the beach while still having urban conveniences within reach. It is also a considered option for investors looking to develop a high-value property in a prime Costa del Sol location, with the flexibility to design a modern residence that capitalises on the panoramic sea views.
As this is a building plot, specific details regarding the quality of finishes are not yet determined and will depend entirely on the choices made by the future owner and their chosen architect and builder. The plot is ready for development, meaning infrastructure connections for utilities are likely accessible. The potential for constructing a high-specification villa is significant, given the plot's size and location. Prospective buyers would typically engage with architects and designers to select premium materials, state-of-the-art fixtures, and energy-efficient systems to create a residence that meets contemporary standards of luxury and comfort.
The plot is offered at a price of €1,050,000, reflecting its size of 2,006 m² and prime location within the Golden Triangle. As a single building plot, availability is limited to this specific parcel. The price is indicative of the land value in a sought-after area known for its residential appeal and proximity to high-end amenities. Interested parties should be prepared for the additional costs associated with design, planning permissions, and the construction of a new villa.
