€2,500,000Asking price · Ref. R5487997
Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a prime residential plot in the prestigious gated community of El Herrojo Alto, Benahavís, offered together with an exceptional contemporary architectural project and building licence.
Elevated above the coastline, the plot enjoys spectacular panoramic views across the Mediterranean Sea towards Gibraltar and the North African coastline. Its privileged position within one of La Quinta’s most established gated communities combines privacy, security and outstanding proximity to Marbella and Puerto Banús.
The property is sold as a complete plot + project + licence opportunity, allowing the new owner to take over an advanced development and proceed with the construction of an exceptional contemporary villa without having to start the architectural and licensing process from the beginning.
The approved project has been carefully designed to maximise the plot’s elevated position and panoramic sea views. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, expansive terraces and generous open-plan living areas create a strong connection between the interior and exterior spaces, with the Mediterranean landscape forming a backdrop throughout the home.
The proposed villa has been conceived as a high-end private residence with an extensive collection of lifestyle and wellness facilities, including a private gym, spa, Turkish bath, wine cellar, entertainment lounge with bar and indoor swimming pool.
The outdoor areas have been designed around a heated infinity pool, spacious terraces, landscaped gardens and multiple lounge and entertaining areas, all positioned to take full advantage of the exceptional views.
The project also includes a secure enclosed garage with covered parking for three vehicles.
Located just minutes from La Quinta Golf, Puerto Banús and Marbella, as well as international schools, restaurants and a wide range of amenities, the property offers an exceptional combination of location, views and development potential.
For a buyer looking to create a landmark contemporary residence in Benahavís, this represents a unique opportunity to acquire a prime plot with the architectural vision and building licence already in place.
A ready-to-build opportunity in one of the most desirable gated communities above Marbella.

Financing examples are illustrative and do not constitute an offer of credit. Availability depends on the client profile, collateral, property, jurisdiction and lender approval. Portfolio-backed lending may be illustrated at up to approximately 70% loan-to-value where suitable. Actual lending value depends on portfolio composition, concentration, volatility, liquidity, currency, jurisdiction and lender approval. Borrowing below the maximum leaves a buffer if markets fall. Mortgage approval depends on income, residency, property value and lender. How Smart Financing works.
