This building plot in La Mairena, located near Elviria and the coast, offers an exceptional opportunity to realize a villa in a natural setting with panoramic views. The plot is situated at an elevated position, contributing to the spectacular vistas over the Mediterranean Sea, the mountains, and even the Rock of Gibraltar. With a generous plot size, there is ample space for a spacious villa, including a swimming pool and garden, designed to your specifications. This project targets buyers who wish to build a custom home, with the freedom to determine the architecture and finishes themselves in an exclusive residential environment.
Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, which offer already built properties, this plot in La Mairena positions itself as a development opportunity. Estepona, a city known for its thriving real estate market and growing popularity, offers a range of apartments and villas, often with communal facilities. Acqua Gardens, starting from €418,800, and Aby Upper from €320,000, are likely more focused on the immediate rental or owner-occupier market. Alba Benalmadena, with a higher starting price of €699,000, indicates a different segment, possibly featuring more luxurious finishes or being closer to urban centers. This building plot in La Mairena distinguishes itself through the possibility of complete personalization of a villa in a quieter, hilly environment, emphasizing space and views, appealing to a different type of buyer than coastal apartment complexes. It offers a relatively lower entry price for a project in this location, provided the buyer coordinates the construction themselves.

Situated in an elevated position in La Mairena, a residential enclave near Elviria and the Marbella coast. The location offers a tranquil, rural atmosphere surrounded by nature, while maintaining relatively short distances to urban amenities and beaches, creating a balance between serenity and accessibility.
This plot is intended for those who wish to create a home that perfectly aligns with their personal preferences in terms of design, size, and finishes. The building potential for a 423 m² villa with a basement and garage provides a flexible foundation for an exclusive residence, ideal for realizing a dream home with significant privacy.

The plot allows for the construction of a substantial villa of 423 m² living space, plus basement, garage, and pool, enabling the rapid realization of a new-build property.
This is a building plot, not an existing dwelling. The construction of the villa, including all installations and finishes, must be organized and financed by the buyer.

This building plot is suited for individuals or families who wish to design and construct a bespoke villa in an exclusive, natural environment on the Costa del Sol. It's a project for buyers who are not looking for an immediate turnkey property but want control over the design process and material selection, with the freedom to create a home that perfectly matches their lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. The location appeals to those who value peace and space, yet wish to remain within reasonable distance of coastal amenities like beaches, golf courses, and international schools. It represents a choice for those willing to invest in the development of a unique residence with lasting value.
As a building plot, this project offers complete freedom to determine the quality and finishes of the villa to be built. Buyers can select their own architects and builders, and choose materials that meet their specific requirements for luxury, sustainability, and aesthetics. This enables the future owner to achieve a finishing level ranging from high-quality to ultra-luxurious, depending on the budget and personal taste. The flexibility in material selection, from flooring and tiles to kitchen appliances and sanitary ware, guarantees a personalized and high-quality living experience.
This building plot, with a surface area of 1925 m², is offered from €442,750. The plot is immediately ready for construction and offers the possibility to build a 423 m² villa. The pricing reflects the exclusive location in La Mairena, the generous plot dimensions, and the building potential. Given the popularity of such plots in the region and the fact that only a few remain, the pricing is considered market-appropriate for a project with this potential.
