This is a building plot, serving as the starting point for a new construction project. The focus is on developing new residential units, including the possibility of realizing 4-5 detached villas. The plot also has the potential for separate sale of individual plots, offering flexibility to developers.

The location in Manilva, with its blend of tranquility and proximity to amenities and recreation, is suitable for those seeking a permanent residence or a high-quality holiday home for year-round use.
As this is a building plot, information regarding current finishing quality or materials used is not available. The focus is entirely on new construction potential. However, the plot's southern orientation provides optimal conditions for designing a home with abundant natural light, a key factor for ultimate living quality and energy efficiency. Future construction will determine the final finishing standards and material choices, with the space and location forming a foundation for high-quality architecture.
This building plot is offered starting from €2,336,000. The plot size of 5,834 m² suggests a pricing structure aligned with larger development possibilities or the creation of an exclusive residence. The option to subdivide the plot for the construction of 4-5 villas could introduce price variations depending on the final layout and individual plot sales, although this specific offering pertains to the entire parcel.

Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens, Aby Upper, and Alba Benalmadena in nearby towns such as Estepona and Benalmadena, this building plot falls into a different category. The mentioned projects are typically already developed apartment complexes or villas with prices starting from €320,000 to €699,000. This plot in Manilva, priced from €2,336,000 for its 5,834 m² area, specifically targets land development. While Manilva's location is somewhat quieter and less central than the immediate vicinity of Estepona, it offers a larger scale for project development and the potential for more exclusive, custom-built homes. Proximity to amenities and beaches is comparable, but the focus on building multiple villas on a single large plot distinguishes this offering from the more concentrated apartment developments in the region.
