Description:
Large Residential Plot with Open Mountain Views
This residential plot for sale in Monte Mayor, Benahavis, is set within a gated, low-density community renowned for privacy, security and natural surroundings. Positioned in the hills above the coast, the plot offers a peaceful retreat-style setting while remaining within comfortable driving distance of Marbella, Estepona and everyday amenities.
Property Highlights
- Residential plot of approximately 2,380 m²
- Maximum permitted build size of around 290.36 m²
- East-facing orientation with open mountain views
- Located within a secure, gated community
- Ideal for a bespoke villa designed around nature and privacy
Plot & Build Potential
This generous residential plot offers excellent scope for creating a custom-designed villa that responds to both the landscape and the orientation of the site. Moreover, the permitted buildability of approximately 290 m² allows for a comfortable family home or refined retreat-style residence, subject to project design and planning approval.
The east-facing aspect brings soft morning light across the plot, while the open mountain outlook reinforces the sense of calm and connection with nature. Additionally, the size of the plot allows for thoughtful positioning of the property, terraces and outdoor living areas, ensuring privacy and visual harmony with the surrounding environment.
Terrace & Views
Thanks to its elevated position within Monte Mayor, the plot benefits from uninterrupted views over the surrounding hills and countryside. Furthermore, the natural topography lends itself well to elevated terraces and outdoor spaces that can take full advantage of the outlook, creating a tranquil setting for year-round living.
Community & Location
Monte Mayor is a gated residential enclave known for its discreet atmosphere, low building density and strong emphasis on security. Residents benefit from 24-hour surveillance, restricted access and CCTV, which together create a reassuring environment for full-time living or second-home ownership.
In addition, the location offers a strategic balance between seclusion and accessibility. Several renowned golf courses are nearby, while the beach and access to the A-7 are approximately 15 minutes away by car. This allows easy travel to Marbella, Estepona and the wider Costa del Sol without compromising peace and privacy.
