This spacious 1514 m² building plot in Manilva, Málaga, presents an exceptional opportunity to construct your dream villa with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. Located in a new urbanisation close to amenities and the coast, this plot balances tranquility with urban convenience. The already approved building license for a 387 m² villa (including terraces) can expedite the realization process. With a maximum building density of 33% in the area, there is potential to build an even larger home, including a basement.
Manilva, where this plot is located, is situated in the western reaches of the Costa del Sol. Compared to the more centrally located Estepona, Manilva often offers a slightly quieter and more traditional Spanish atmosphere, while still benefiting from the region's excellent infrastructure and amenities. Projects like 'Golden View II' and 'Villas Mora Sun and Beach' in Manilva, starting from €562,750 and €780,000 respectively, also target this locale, but this plot offers the unique opportunity to create a home entirely to one's own design. Estepona, with 'Acqua Gardens' starting at €418,800, is more vibrant and closer to major cities like Marbella, but may offer fewer exclusive building plots with such panoramic views. The price of €800,000 for this plot, including the approved license, positions it in the higher segment, justified by the significant building potential and exceptional views in a developing coastal zone.
