Plot & Build Potential

This Monte Mayor plot provides generous proportions and flexible build options for a future villa. The permitted 657.5 m² of interior space plus 200 m² of terraces allows you to design a substantial home with multiple bedroom suites, generous living areas and expansive outdoor zones. Moreover, the existing licence means you can move forward sooner with architects, builders and interior designers, rather than waiting for a full planning process from scratch. Therefore, it suits buyers who want a bespoke home but do not wish to start at step one.

Terrace & Views

The elevated position of the plot delivers wide, open views of the sea, surrounding mountains and verdant valleys. A well-designed villa here can take full advantage of the southeast orientation, with morning sun and long, bright days across terraces and pool areas. Additionally, the natural topography supports tiered outdoor spaces, allowing for different zones for dining, lounging and enjoying the horizon. With thoughtful planning, future terraces and gardens can frame the scenery and maximise both privacy and outlook.

Community & Location

Monte Mayor is a low-density, 24-hour gated community known for its privacy, natural landscape and high-quality infrastructure. Roads, lighting and common areas are well maintained, yet the area still feels immersed in nature. Additionally, the community sits close to the Marbella Club Golf Resort and other premium leisure facilities. By car, you can reach coastal amenities, restaurants and services within a comfortable drive, while still returning to a calm, country-style environment at home.

FAQs

• How much are the total purchase costs?
  As a guide in Andalucia, allow roughly ~10% on a resale plot (7% ITP + approx. 3% total for solicitor, notary and registry fees). On a purchase price of €399,000 this means allowing around €40,000 for taxes and costs, giving a rough total budget in the region of €439,000. We’ll confirm exact figures for your case once an offer is agreed.
  
• What can I build on this plot?
  The current planning allows up to 657.5 m² of interior space plus 200 m² of terraces. In practice, this can support a luxury villa with several bedroom suites, generous living areas, pool and extensive outdoor terraces, subject to final architectural design and municipal confirmation.
