Prime 6,310 m² Plot For Sale in El Madronal Benahavis

Plot & Build Potential

The 6,310.60 m² site has been studied for subdivision into two independent residential plots. Proposed Plot A measures 3,162.40 m², while proposed Plot B measures 3,148.20 m². Both would substantially exceed the stated minimum plot requirements for this part of El Madronal.

A feasibility study, basic project and subdivision plan have already been prepared. However, buyers and their technical advisers should verify the current planning position, subdivision approval, service connections and all licence requirements directly with Benahavis Town Hall before proceeding.

The supplied planning parameters indicate detached single-family villas with maximum buildability of 0.20 m² per m². This provides for up to approximately 629.65 m² of above-ground construction on each proposed plot, subject to final technical calculations and municipal approval.

The existing concept proposes one villa on each plot, with approximately 592 m² above ground and a further 360 m² below ground. Proposed occupancy is 13%, compared with a stated maximum of 15%, while the configuration follows a ground-floor-plus-one-level arrangement within an indicated maximum height of eight metres.

At basement level, each concept includes a large garage for several vehicles, utility areas, a guest toilet, private gym and a flexible cinema or games room. These below-ground spaces have been arranged to support the main residence without compromising the open living areas above.

The proposed ground floor centres around a generous living and dining room connected to the exterior through floor-to-ceiling glazing. A designer kitchen with a breakfast area, private office and guest bedroom suite complete this level.

The proposed first floor contains four bedroom suites, each with a private bathroom and terrace. A rooftop technical area and solarium complete the concept, creating a potential setting for enjoying the surrounding landscape and evening light.

Terraces and Views at this Plot for Sale in El Madronal Benahavis

The project has been designed in response to the site’s natural topography, with the proposed villas positioned to optimise privacy and open views. Final outlooks will depend on approved positioning, finished floor levels, landscaping and the detailed architectural design.

The concept includes sunny terraces, covered porches and rooftop solariums. Together, these spaces would create several outdoor settings for dining, relaxing and entertaining throughout the year.

Each proposed villa also includes a panoramic infinity pool integrated into low-maintenance landscaping. Consequently, the exterior design aims to preserve the natural character of El Madronal while framing the surrounding mountain and coastal landscape.

Community and Location of this Plot for Sale in El Madronal Benahavis

El Madronal is an established gated villa community in the hills of Benahavis. Known for substantial private plots, mature greenery and controlled access, it offers a secluded residential atmosphere within reach of the coast.

The plot lies within Development Unit 4, where the hillside terrain creates scope for elevated architecture and open outlooks. Its scale also allows the proposed residences to retain meaningful separation, landscaping and private outdoor areas.

Road connections place San Pedro, Puerto Banús, Marbella and nearby golf courses within convenient reach. At the same time, the woodland setting provides the privacy and tranquillity associated with El Madronal.

FAQs

• How much are the taxes and total purchase costs?
  When residential land is bought from a company or seller acting in a business capacity, the transaction is normally subject to 21% IVA plus 1.2% AJD. On €2,300,000, those taxes total approximately €510,600, giving a tax-inclusive budget of €2,810,600, approximately £2.39 million or $3.21 million, before legal, notary and registry costs. We’ll confirm exact figures when making an offer.
• Can the land be divided into two independent plots?
  A subdivision plan has been prepared for plots of 3,162.40 m² and 3,148.20 m². However, the buyer’s architect and solicitor must verify that the subdivision has received, or can receive, all required municipal and registry approvals.
• How much can be built on each proposed plot?
  The supplied study indicates maximum buildability of 0.20 m² per m², allowing up to approximately 629.65 m² above ground on each resulting plot. Final buildable areas remain subject to technical verification and municipal approval.
• Is the proposed villa project included?
  The property is presented with a feasibility study, basic project and subdivision plan already prepared. The sale documentation should specify which drawings, technical studies and intellectual-property rights transfer to the buyer.
• Can the reduced residential IVA rate apply?
  Potentially, but only with specialist legal and tax advice. If the plot purchase and a legally binding construction contract with the same developer form one qualifying residential package, the transaction may attract 10% IVA plus 1.2% AJD instead of the standalone-land rate.
