The parcels run from € 180,000 to € 960,000, with the middle of the list at € 550,000 and an average area of 2,044 square metres. The land here comes out of private hands rather than from a developer's release, one piece at a time, which is why the list is a short one and why it stays short.
Because the data we draw from files this ground under the surrounding districts rather than under the name of the golf club, the parcels around the fairways reach this page by hand, and the list runs along the same hillside into the district alongside. What follows describes the land itself: where it sits, how steep it is, how far the clubhouse and the sea are, what already stands around it and where the figures sit against the rest of the hillside.
Gaps in a hillside that is otherwise finished, which is a different thing from open country with a view.
Parcels between finished houses
Most of this land sits on made-up streets inside the built pockets of the hillside, with houses on either side, lighting along the kerb and a postman who already comes. A plot with neighbours is a plot in a place rather than a plot in a field, and on this hillside that describes nearly all of it — which is also why there is so little left.
Sizes that take one house
These are single-house parcels rather than development land: enough ground for a house, a pool terrace and planting on two or three levels, cut from the same grid as the villas beside them. The plots here were drawn as individual building plots in the first place, not carved out of a larger holding afterwards, and the measurements reflect the street they sit on.
And the occasional larger piece higher up
Now and again something much bigger and much cheaper appears alongside them, further up the hill and off the made-up streets, where the ground is rough and the nearest kerb is some distance away. Open hillside and a building plot are two different products that photograph identically, and the figure per square metre is the first clue which one is in front of you.
Why there is still land on this hillside
An accident of how the place was laid out, and a finite one.
The streets were laid out before the houses
When the club went in, the slope above and below it was divided into parcels on a grid of access roads, and the houses then went up on them over two decades at whatever pace their owners chose. A hillside laid out as plots fills in unevenly rather than all at once, and the gaps that are left are the ones nobody got round to.
Nobody bought the hill out in one cycle
Had a single developer taken the whole slope, it would have been finished in three years and there would be no land on this page. Instead the ground changed hands in ones and twos, and a good deal of it was held by families through two building booms without being sold. What reaches the market now is coming out of those hands.
And the supply is finite
Nobody is adding parcels to a built hillside. Every house that goes up here takes a plot off this page permanently, which is the one thing a buyer of land can rely on about the address, and the reason the list rarely has much on it at any one time.
Where the plots for sale in La Resina Golf sit
On the golf hillside behind the eastern beaches of the municipality, in the first band of high ground above the coast.
Inside the urbanisation rather than out in the country
Streets with names, kerbs, street lights and bins, and finished houses along them. The access is already made and the neighbours' water already arrives, which is what separates a gap in a built street from a field with a track to it — and it is why land in the pockets asks what it does.
The course, the club and the school
A nine-hole layout with tennis, padel and a restaurant lies along the valley floor, and a trilingual international school stands beside it. Building here puts a house into a neighbourhood that is already inhabited all year, which is not the case on every hillside on this coast: there are children walking to school in October and neighbours at home in February.
Two towns, both a short drive
Estepona lies a quarter of an hour one way, San Pedro de Alcántara and the marina the same the other, with a motorway junction close at hand. Nothing from here is a long journey and nothing is a walk except the clubhouse. The beaches are a few minutes down the hill, which makes this one of the shorter drives to sand of any golf address in the municipality.
The slope, and what it does to a parcel
More than its area does, which is the single most useful thing to understand about land on this hillside.
Levels rather than area
Ground here arrives in steps cut along the contour, and a parcel is described by how many of those steps it holds and how wide each one is. Two parcels of the same size can hold quite different houses depending on where the flat part of them is, and on the steepest of them the usable part is a good deal smaller than the measured one.
Walls, and what they are holding
Nearly every terrace on this slope is held by a structure of some kind, and on the empty parcels those structures are usually already there, left from when the street was cut. An empty plot on a hillside is rarely flat ground waiting — it is shaped ground, and the shape it has been given decides where a house can stand on it.
Rock in some places, clay in others
The hillside is not made of one material. Some streets are cut into rock and some into softer ground that wants holding back, and the difference shows in the walls of the houses already standing: the neighbours are the clearest record of what the ground under a parcel is like, since they have already been built on it.
What the plots for sale in La Resina Golf look out at
Two directions, like everything else on this hillside, and the storey the view starts from is part of the land rather than part of the house.
Sea on one side, sierra on the other
The sea takes up the whole of the view to the south, with Gibraltar showing on the horizon in clear winter air, and the mountains close the picture behind. A first-band hillside gives both at once, which a flat site cannot, and on the empty parcels the whole of it is visible before anything has been built.
The fairways on the valley floor
The course follows the valley floor while the housing climbs both banks above it, so parcels in the lower pockets look down onto grass. Open green that cannot be built on is the one neighbour that never changes, and it is why the lower streets here carry a premium over the ones facing back into the hill.
And the storey the view begins at
On a slope the picture from a parcel changes with height, and what matters is what a first floor will see rather than what the ground does. A hedge that blocks everything from the ground is below eye level from upstairs, which is why the houses up here put their living floors on top of their garages rather than beside them.
What plots for sale in La Resina Golf cost
Less than land beside the bigger courses east of here, and the reasons are the same ones that move the price of a finished house on this hillside.
Below the land around the championship courses
A parcel up here asks appreciably less than an equivalent one in the valleys behind Puerto Banús, and the difference is a quarter of an hour of road rather than a lesser hillside. The same arithmetic runs through every type on this slope, which is the whole argument for the address.
Where a parcel sits against a tired villa
On much of this coast the only ground available is underneath a house that would have to come down first. Here the two stand on comparable streets at the same time, which lets a buyer price empty ground against an original villa of the nineteen-nineties rather than guess at it. The houses are at houses in La Resina Golf.
And why a rate per square metre misleads on a slope
Because a steep parcel and a level one of the same area are not the same amount of usable ground. The cheapest figure per metre on a hillside is usually the steepest piece of it, and the dearest is often the flattest — which is the market pricing level ground correctly even when the particulars say nothing about it.
What already stands around these parcels
Thirty years of housing, in three recognisable layers, and a buyer of land is buying into whichever one surrounds the plot.
Villas of the nineteen-nineties
Render and curved roof tile, arches, a pool terrace cut into the slope, a garage under the house. That generation took the gentler ground first, so the streets with the most of it are the flattest and the oldest, and an empty parcel among them is a parcel with level neighbours.
Rows and apartment pockets below
Nearer the valley floor the housing gets denser: gated pockets of flats around a pool, and rows of newer houses with shared grounds. The lower the street, the less of it is detached, which changes what a house built on a gap there will be looking at across the road.
And the newest villas above
Pale render, wide windows and flat roofs, on the steeper upper ground the earlier builders left alone. Current building here has gone uphill because the easy ground went first, and the empty parcels on those streets are the ones with the longest views and the narrowest approaches.
Who the plots for sale in La Resina Golf suit
Three buyers, and one who should be on another page.
The buyer who wants a specific house
The second-hand market on this hillside is largely houses of the nineteen-nineties, and no amount of refurbishment turns that generation of villa into an open-plan house with current insulation. Starting from the ground is the honest route to exactly what you want, and this is one of the few addresses here where the ground still exists.
The buyer comparing land against a tired villa
Both are on the market at once on comparable streets, which is a genuine advantage of the address rather than a figure of speech. A parcel and an original villa are the two ways to end up with the same house, and here they can be weighed against each other on the same afternoon.
The buyer with time rather than urgency
Years rather than months, with decisions every week. What comes out at the end is a house nobody else has lived in, on a hillside where the land will not be replaced, and for a household that enjoys the process that is the whole appeal.
Not the buyer who wants to be in for the summer
Nothing on this page is a house yet. Land is the slowest way onto this coast and the only one that ends in a house of your own drawing. If the requirement is a roof this year, the finished stock on the same hillside is the right page and the wider land market is at residential plots.
Plots for sale in La Resina Golf — where to go next
The finished houses on the same streets, the flats below them and the rest of the hillside.
The houses already standing here
Detached villas on terraced plots, rows of newer houses beneath them and a handful of recently built villas at the top. Walking the finished houses is how to read the parcels, because every one of them answers a question a plot only poses. They are at houses in La Resina Golf.
The flats and the district next door
Apartment communities fill the lower pockets, and the district sharing this hill is bigger again and holds more of everything. The boundary between the two names is invisible on the ground. They are at apartments in La Resina Golf and Selwo, with the address itself described at La Resina Golf.
And land elsewhere in the municipality
The hillsides west of Estepona still carry parcels, and the golf country on the flat ground out there is at Estepona Golf. Land on this hillside reaches the market one piece at a time and without warning, so the property alarm is the only practical way to see it early, and our estate agents in Estepona know which streets are flat and which are not.
Questions about plots for sale in La Resina Golf
What are the plots for sale in La Resina Golf actually like?
Gaps in a hillside that is otherwise finished. Most of the plots for sale in La Resina Golf sit on made-up streets inside the built pockets of the slope, with houses on either side, lighting along the kerb and a postman who already comes, and they were drawn as single-house parcels in the first place rather than carved out of something larger — enough ground for a house, a pool terrace and planting on two or three levels. Now and again something much bigger and much cheaper appears higher up, off the made-up streets, where the ground is rough and the nearest kerb is some way off. Open hillside and a building plot photograph identically. The finished houses are at houses in La Resina Golf.
How steep is the ground, and does the size of a parcel tell you much?
Less than the slope does. Ground on this hillside arrives in steps cut along the contour, so a parcel is really described by how many of those steps it holds and how wide each one is — two of the same area can suit quite different houses depending on where the flat part sits, and on the steepest of them the usable part is a good deal smaller than the measured one. Nearly every terrace up here is held by a structure of some kind, and on the empty parcels those are usually already there from when the street was cut, so an empty plot on a slope is shaped ground rather than flat ground waiting. The houses beside a parcel show what the ground is like, since they have already been built on it: houses in La Resina Golf.
Why are there plots for sale in La Resina Golf at all when most of the coast is built out?
Because the hillside that carries the plots for sale in La Resina Golf was divided into parcels on a grid of access roads before the houses went up, and the houses then arrived over two decades at whatever pace their owners chose. Had one developer taken the whole slope it would have been finished in three years and this page would not exist; instead the ground changed hands in ones and twos, and a good deal of it was held by families through two building booms. What comes to market now is coming out of those hands, and nobody is adding parcels to a built hillside — every house that goes up takes one off this page for good. New land here reaches you through the property alarm.
What would a house built on one of these parcels look out at?
Two ways at once, which is what a first-band hillside gives and level ground cannot: the Mediterranean south, with Gibraltar on the horizon on a clear winter day, and the sierra closing the picture north. The parcels in the lower pockets look down onto the fairways along the valley floor, and open green that cannot be built on is the one neighbour that never changes, which is why those streets carry a premium over the ones facing back into the hill. What matters on a slope is what a first floor will see rather than what the ground does, since a hedge that blocks everything from ground level is below eye level from upstairs. The hillside itself is described at La Resina Golf.
What do plots for sale in La Resina Golf cost against a second-hand villa here?
Plots for sale in La Resina Golf ask appreciably less than equivalent land in the valleys behind Puerto Banús, and the difference is a quarter of an hour of road rather than a lesser hillside — the same arithmetic that runs through every type on this slope. Against the finished stock, the useful comparison is an original villa of the nineteen-nineties on a comparable street, and this is one of the few addresses on the coast where both are on the market at the same time, so realEstepona.com can put the two side by side rather than guess. One warning about the figures: the cheapest rate per square metre on a hillside is usually the steepest piece of it. The wider land market is at residential plots.
