Plot & Build Potential

The 2,053 m² plot provides an excellent foundation for a contemporary villa designed to maximise hillside views and natural surroundings. Its northwest orientation keeps summer temperatures lower, which helps maintain comfort during the hottest months and improves natural cross-ventilation. Furthermore, buyers can acquire the adjoining 2,237.5 m² plot to create an expansive private estate, a multi-villa project or a home with additional leisure areas and privacy buffers. Thanks to the generous building regulations in Monte Mayor, architects have flexibility to design wide terraces, open-plan living spaces and a pool area that blends with the landscape.

Community & Location

Monte Mayor is one of Benahavís’ most private and scenic communities, known for its rolling hills, protected green zones and low-density planning. Residents benefit from 24-hour security, high-quality roads and well-maintained communal areas that preserve the natural beauty of the valley. Moreover, the location allows quick access to the coast while retaining a peaceful countryside feel. Estepona, Marbella, Benahavís village and Puerto Banús are all within a comfortable drive, making the area suitable for both year-round living and second residences.
