South-facing land in Monte Mayor with a granted building licence

Open views reach down to the Mediterranean from this south-facing parcel in Monte Mayor. Offered as a 4 bedroom residential plot in Benahavís, the sale consists of the land, an approved contemporary project, and the building licence already granted by Benahavís town hall. Construction is not included, meaning a buyer is acquiring the site and the legal permission to start groundworks without waiting through the municipal planning queue.

The parcel and its orientation

The land measures 3,250 square metres with a south orientation, which dictates the light and solar gain across the site from morning until late afternoon. Because Monte Mayor is a hillside area, a plot of this size gives a buffer from neighbouring boundaries while holding an open aspect toward the sea. A buyer walking the land should check the gradient across the building footprint and verify how the proposed retaining walls and driveway access sit against the natural slope.

What the approved project allows

The town hall licence permits a built area of 852 square metres plus 285 square metres of terraces and a swimming pool. Although the current plans show a three-level structure with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the unbuilt state of this 4 bedroom residential plot in Benahavís allows the buyer's technical architect to adjust the internal configuration or add further roof terracing within the approved volume. All digital project documents are held on file for inspection before an offer is made.

Position within the gated community

Monte Mayor operates as a gated community in the hills of Benahavís, known for low-density plots and privacy rather than urban convenience. The Marbella Club Golf Resort is a few kilometres along the country roads, and the restaurants of Benahavís village are a short drive away. Nothing here is reached on foot, so daily life relies entirely on a car.

What to establish before offering

Because the build itself is separate from the land purchase, a buyer needs to request the digital project files to obtain independent contractor quotes and verify the ground study. It is also important to check the validity dates and conditions of the granted licence with Benahavís town hall, confirm where utility connections meet the boundary, and find out what minor design amendments can be submitted without delaying the start on site.
