Residential Plot in Benahavís
€1,399,000Asking price · Ref. R5494342
Description
A rare opportunity to acquire one of the few predominantly flat plots within the exclusive gated community of Monte Mayor, Benahavís. This plot is South west facing with panoramic sea views
The plot measures 4,570m² and has a buildability allowance of 12.2%, permitting approximately 557 m² above ground, subject to planning approval.
The current owner has an existing villa design comprising approximately 1,300 m² in total, including the basement. The original building licence has expired but may be capable of reactivation, subject to confirmation. Alternatively, a purchaser can create a new design and submit a fresh application.
The flat terrain offers valuable advantages, including easier construction, more usable outdoor space and potentially reduced excavation and retaining-wall costs.
The neighbouring plot measuring approximately 3,127 m², is also available from the same owner. Both plots could be purchased together, creating a combined landholding of approximately 7,697 m² and an excellent opportunity for an investor or developer.
Monte Mayor offers 24-hour security, privacy and beautiful mountain, valley and sea views, while being only 8–10 minutes from the coast and within easy reach of Benahavís, Marbella, Estepona, golf courses, beaches and international schools.

- Location quality
- A separate municipality inland of Marbella, home to many of the coast’s gated villa estates.
- Rental potential
- Not assessed from feed data. Licensing, seasonality and costs are reviewed in a full memo.
- Liquidity considerations
- Sits in the deepest part of the prime market; resale demand is typically broad, with condition and location the main differentiators.
- Relative value
- We do not publish valuations or comparables we have not verified. A comparable set is prepared on request.
Why we like it
- Views listed in the feed: sea, mountain, country, panoramic.
- Security: gated complex, 24 hour security.
What we would challenge
- Build cost, licence timelines and design constraints determine the true all-in price of a plot.
- Asking price only: we form a view of value from verified comparables before recommending an offer.
What we would verify
- Registered versus cadastral areas for plot and built surfaces
- Licence of first occupation and legality of all structures
- Charges, encumbrances and ownership at the land registry
- Local taxes (IBI), community fees and any pending levies
Acquisition considerations
- Resale purchases in Andalusia are generally subject to 7% transfer tax (ITP); new-build purchases to VAT plus stamp duty. Notary, registry and legal fees are additional. Confirm with your lawyer.
- A private purchase contract with a deposit (often around 10%) normally precedes completion before a notary.
- Financing approvals should be secured before signing a deposit contract.

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.
