This exceptional 33,000 m² plot in Manilva offers a unique development opportunity, situated just a stone's throw from the Costa del Sol coastline. The estate includes an existing 88 m² building, which can serve as a foundation for new construction. With a prominent location offering potential for sea and mountain views, this is a versatile option for those seeking a project with significant development potential in a desirable region.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located within the urban environment of Manilva, this plot benefits from proximity to essential amenities while still offering a sense of space and tranquility. The coast is nearby, enhancing the location's appeal for both permanent residency and recreational use. This combination of accessibility and natural setting is characteristic of this part of the Costa del Sol.
This property is ideal for developers or individuals with a long-term vision. The size of the plot and the presence of an existing structure provide flexibility for various construction plans, ranging from a rural retreat to an investment project. The possibility of building single-family homes with potential sea views caters to a wide spectrum of living and investment aspirations.
The project is classified as 'Land with Ruin', indicating the potential for redevelopment or new construction on an existing plot. The existing 88 m² building can serve as a starting point. Prospective buyers should be aware of the need to obtain building permits and adhere to local building regulations, including the typical 1% land coverage allowance for development.
This property is agricultural land with an existing structure, not a move-in ready home. The maximum buildable area will be restricted by local zoning plans (typically 1% of the plot size). Further development requires specific permits and legal advice. The existing structure may not be immediately habitable.
This offering is aimed at project developers or investors seeking a substantial piece of land with development potential on the Costa del Sol. It could suit someone looking to create a country estate, possibly with the intention of keeping horses, given the space and rural character. Individuals with a vision to build a unique home, respecting local building codes and considering the potential for sea views, will also find this an interesting opportunity. The proximity to amenities and beaches makes it suitable for those desiring a quiet environment that is still well-connected to the region's facilities. However, it requires a proactive approach to legal and construction procedures.
As this is a 'Land with Ruin' property type, no information on the current finishing quality is available. The existing 88 m² building may vary in condition and will likely require significant renovation or redevelopment. For any potential new construction, the quality of finish will entirely depend on the buyer's choices during the design phase and material selection. The architectural style and materials used will determine the final appearance and functionality of any newly built structure. Seeking legal counsel and understanding building regulations are crucial for successful project development.
The property is listed at €995,000. Given the plot size (33,000 m²) and the existing 88 m² building, the pricing reflects its development potential. Currently, no other comparable properties of this scale and specific nature are directly available. Potential buyers should factor in additional costs for project development, permits, and any construction. The price reflects the scarce availability of large plots in this coastal region.
