This urban plot of 340 m² in Fuengirola, Málaga, presents an opportunity to build a detached villa in an established residential area. Situated centrally within the Costa del Sol, this plot combines proximity to urban amenities with the desire for a custom-built home. The plot is part of a subdivision over 40 years old, allowing construction with a 40% buildability rate, despite current minimum plot size regulations.
Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens (€418,800) and Aby Upper (€320,000) in Estepona, or Alba Benalmadena (€699,000) in Benalmádena, this building plot in Fuengirola presents an entry-level opportunity for self-builders. These other projects typically involve already developed homes or apartments with higher starting prices. The asking price of €134,999 for this plot is significantly lower, focusing on the development of a custom home in a strategic location. While the other projects offer ready-to-move-in solutions, this plot provides flexibility for bespoke design. The location in Fuengirola, an established city with a wide range of amenities and good transport links, is comparable in appeal to the locations in Estepona and Benalmádena, but offers a different investment type: creating equity through construction rather than purchasing an existing structure.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The plot is located in an urban setting in Fuengirola, close to amenities. Its proximity to the beach and the Costa del Sol coastline is a defining characteristic. The location within a consolidated residential zone, surrounded by existing villas, suggests a tranquil yet connected living environment.
For those wishing to build a home tailored to their specific design and aesthetic preferences, this plot offers the space to create a residence that matches individual needs and lifestyle. The ability to dictate layout, style, and finishes is a key aspect for potential buyers seeking customisation.
This is a building plot intended for the construction of a new dwelling. The development phase is initial. The plot is currently buildable with a 40% buildability density, a status derived from an older subdivision. Further building information should be verified by the buyer.
The plot does not include any existing structures. The current minimum plot size regulations for new construction in the area may differ from the 340 m² available here; the building status is based on historical subdivision. It does not offer direct sea views, though it is situated close to the coast.
This project is suitable for individuals or families who desire to construct a home perfectly aligned with their specific needs and aesthetic vision, rather than purchasing an existing property. It appeals to buyers who value customisation and control over the building process, and who wish to embrace the Mediterranean lifestyle within an urban setting. The plot is also of interest to investors who see potential in developing property in a sought-after coastal region. Its proximity to amenities and the beach makes it attractive for both permanent residents and for rental purposes.
As a building plot, the quality of finishes is entirely at the discretion of the future builder. The location within an established villa neighbourhood suggests a certain standard in the vicinity. The 40% buildability density allows for a detached villa on the 340 m² plot. Potential buyers should consult local building codes and requirements for specific details regarding construction, materials, and energy efficiency, as these are not provided by the project developer.
This building plot is offered starting from €134,999. The pricing reflects its location and the potential for constructing a bespoke home. As it is a plot of land, the final construction costs will vary based on the buyer's design and finishing choices. The price per square meter of plot area is €397.03. The plot is available for immediate development, subject to standard legal procedures.
