Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Situated in Manilva, the plot is positioned within an urban environment that provides convenient access to daily necessities. It is a short distance from the coast, offering proximity to beaches and marinas, whilst also being relatively close to the airport and major transport links. This setting balances urban convenience with coastal accessibility.
This offering is suited for buyers seeking to develop a custom villa in a desirable coastal region. The generous plot size and buildable area provide flexibility for designing a residence that aligns with specific lifestyle needs, potentially incorporating private amenities such as a pool and expansive terraces, while enjoying sea and mountain vistas.
As a residential plot, this property represents a ground-up development opportunity. It is not a new construction in terms of a finished building, but rather a parcel of land designated for the construction of new residential properties. The plot is available for immediate development planning and construction.
This offering is exclusively a plot of land and does not include any existing structures or finished residential elements. It does not come with pre-built amenities like a private pool or covered terraces, which would need to be incorporated into the development plan. The sale does not include any furniture or interior fittings.
This plot is suitable for individuals or entities looking to undertake a bespoke construction project in a popular Spanish coastal region. It appeals to those who desire to design and build a home to their exact specifications, rather than purchasing an existing property. The location is advantageous for those who value proximity to both the sea and essential services, with amenities such as supermarkets and pharmacies within easy reach. It also caters to those who enjoy golf, with several courses nearby. The climate, characterised by ample sunshine and mild temperatures, supports an outdoor lifestyle throughout most of the year, making it suitable for second-home owners or permanent residents seeking to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle.
As this is a plot of land, there is no existing construction quality or finishing to assess. The property is designated for new development, offering the future owner complete control over the design, materials, and finishing specifications. This allows for the integration of modern construction techniques and high-quality materials tailored to the owner's preferences and budget, potentially achieving an 'Excellent' condition and 'New Construction' status upon completion of the build.
The plot is offered at a price of €741,000. This represents the cost for the 4,113 m² parcel of land, which has an indicative buildable area of 1,371 m². While no specific completion date is provided as it is a plot for development, the price reflects the potential for constructing a substantial residence in a sought-after coastal location. There is potential for acquiring an additional parcel, Plot 128, which would incur separate costs.

Compared to other offerings in Manilva, such as Golden View II (starting from €562,750) and Kristina Views (starting from €545,000), this plot is positioned at a higher price point (€741,000). However, it offers a significantly larger land area (4,113 m²) compared to typical finished villa projects. Villas Mora Sun and Beach, priced from €780,000, suggests a market for higher-value properties in the vicinity. This plot's pricing reflects its substantial size and the potential for a custom-built luxury residence, offering greater scope for design and customisation than completed homes in a similar price bracket. The adjacent optional parcel further indicates development potential within the broader area.
