This exceptional plot of nearly 6 hectares, located in the prestigious La Mairena, offers an unparalleled opportunity to develop a residential project in a prime Costa del Sol location. Boasting breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, mountains, and coastline, this estate combines tranquility with proximity to amenities. Its strategic elevation of 400 meters guarantees a unique panorama and a pleasant climate, while the extensive land area provides flexibility for various development plans. This is a rare chance for those seeking an exclusive setting for a dream project.
Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (starting from €418,800) or Aby Upper in Estepona (starting from €320,000), which primarily offer apartment complexes with a lower price per unit, this plot in La Mairena occupies a different market segment. The starting price of €2,010,000 for nearly 6 hectares of land is significantly higher, reflecting the location's exclusivity and development potential. While projects in Estepona cater to a broader audience with ready-to-move-in homes, this land in La Mairena presents a unique opportunity for large-scale, bespoke development. Alba Benalmádena (starting from €699,000) also falls into a different price bracket with its apartments. The La Mairena location, elevated with expansive views, distinguishes itself from the more coastal projects in Estepona and Benalmádena, attracting buyers seeking space, privacy, and unparalleled panoramas, with the luxury amenities of Marbella within reach.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Perched on a hilltop in La Mairena, at 400 meters above sea level, this plot commands spectacular panoramic views stretching from the Sierra Nevada to the African coast. The location merges the serenity of a rural environment with convenient access to the vibrant Costa del Sol, situated a short distance from Elviria and the eastern outskirts of Marbella.
This parcel is ideally suited for the development of an exclusive residential project, a private estate, or a boutique resort. The sheer size of the land allows for ample privacy and customization, while the stunning views and natural surroundings promise an attractive living environment for future residents.
This is a plot intended for potential new construction. No specific building phases or completion dates are available for this parcel. Development plans must be drawn up and approved in accordance with local regulations.
This estate is primarily designated for large-scale development or the creation of a highly spacious, exclusive residence. No existing built structures are present. The steep incline towards the beach and the necessity of a car for daily commutes are key considerations for accessibility.
This estate presents an outstanding opportunity for developers aiming to create an exclusive residential project with unparalleled views, or for private buyers dreaming of a vast, private domain in a prime location. The nearly 6-hectare size offers the flexibility to develop a complex of multiple villas, each with its own plot and panoramic vista, or to construct a single, grand villa surrounded by nature. It is suitable for investors who value exclusivity and potential capital appreciation in a sought-after region. The elevated position, with sea and mountain views, appeals to those seeking a blend of natural tranquility and proximity to the amenities of Marbella and surrounding coastal towns. Prospective buyers should, however, be prepared for the necessity of private transport and the landscape challenges associated with building on sloping terrain.
As this is a plot of land, there are no specific details regarding the quality of finishes or materials used. The focus is on the location's potential and the land's extent. Any future construction will depend on the choices made by the developer or owner, with the natural surroundings and spectacular views potentially guiding high-quality architecture and finishes appropriate for the exclusive setting of La Mairena.
The plot, spanning 59,494 m², is offered at a starting price of €2,010,000. Given its size and exclusive location in La Mairena, this price point places it in the upper echelons of the development land market on the Costa del Sol. Information regarding price variations based on size or specific features is not available, as it comprises a single, large parcel. Its current availability is exclusive, indicating a unique opportunity for major developers or private individuals with ambitious construction plans.
La Mairena, situated on an elevated position on the Costa del Sol, offers a lifestyle that combines peace and nature with easy access to urban amenities. At 400 meters above sea level, you can enjoy cool breezes and spectacular views that extend from the Mediterranean Sea to the Sierra Nevada mountains and the coast of Africa. This residential resort, near Elviria and Marbella, is perfect for those seeking an exclusive and serene living environment. The area is characterized by vast natural landscapes, including forests and hilly terrain, making it an attractive location for outdoor activities. However, it's important to note that a car is essential for daily travel, as public transport is limited and distances to amenities can be considerable.
Life in La Mairena is defined by peace and space, with an emphasis on nature and breathtaking vistas. The estate is situated at an altitude of 395 meters, ensuring a pleasant climate with average temperatures between 10-24°C and 3,840 hours of sunshine annually. Although the area feels rural, it is remarkably close to amenities. A supermarket is located 3.9 km away, a pharmacy at 4.4 km, and a hospital at 6.8 km. The nearest beach, Playa de Artola, is 4.7 km away (as the crow flies), though its 8.0% slope makes for a steep descent. Consequently, a car is essential for daily mobility.
This estate is located in La Mairena, a hilly area on the eastern Costa del Sol, north of Elviria and Marbella. The location is characterized by its elevated position, offering panoramic views over the coast and the hinterland. The map shows its proximity to golf courses, beaches, and Marbella's infrastructure.
La Mairena is strategically situated on the eastern edge of Marbella, on a ridge overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. This residential area is located about 5 km from Elviria, a coastal district known for its amenities. The location positions the project as an exclusive enclave within the broader Costa del Sol, a region synonymous with luxury, golf, and a Mediterranean lifestyle. Proximity to Marbella, with its marina, restaurants, and shops, offers access to a cosmopolitan atmosphere, while the rural setting of La Mairena ensures peace and privacy.
This plot in La Mairena offers a unique balance between seclusion and accessibility. The closest beach, Playa de Artola, is 4.7 km away as the crow flies. Golf enthusiasts have ample choice with El Soto Golf just 1.5 km away, Santa María Golf & Country Club at 2.6 km, and Campo América at 2.7 km. Málaga's international airport is approximately 28 km away as the crow flies, ensuring good connections to the rest of Europe. For daily needs, the nearest supermarket is 3.9 km away, and the pharmacy is 4.4 km away. There are 34 public transport stops in the wider area, served by 2 lines, suggesting that public transport is not the most practical option for daily commutes in this hilly region. A car is therefore necessary.

La Mairena benefits from a privileged climate on the Costa del Sol, with an average annual temperature of 17.4°C and over 3,840 hours of sunshine per year, resulting in a long and pleasant swimming season of approximately four months. Located at an altitude of 395 meters, the area offers milder temperatures than the coastline, particularly during summer, and fresh air, surrounded by forests and nature. The 8.0% slope towards the coastline emphasizes the region''s hilly character, providing impressive views but also a steeper route to the beach. The landscape is ideal for outdoor activities and experiencing Mediterranean nature.
