Planning parameters and orientation off the Ronda road
Planning regulations on this 1,042 m2 parcel allow an estimated buildability of approximately 674 m2 for a single-family home. This residential plot in Los Arqueros-Puerto del Almendro, Benahavís faces south-west toward open nature, meaning any future dwelling can be positioned for afternoon sun and evening light rather than morning glare.
What the planning rules allow and what to verify
Local zoning permits a detached house over two levels with a maximum height of 6 metres. The area already has the infrastructure for water, electricity and telephone connections in place, which removes the delay of bringing utilities to the boundary before works begin.
Road access, shops and nearby golf
Puerto del Almendro sits directly off the A-397 Ronda road, giving straightforward vehicle access down to the coast. Everyday errands do not require driving into town: the Monte Halcones Shopping Centre is 5 minutes away by car and holds an El Corte Inglés supermarket, a pharmacy, restaurants and daily services. San Pedro de Alcántara is 7 minutes away and Puerto Banús takes 15 minutes. Four golf courses sit within a 10-minute drive: Los Arqueros Golf and Country Club, La Quinta Golf and Country Club, Real Club de Golf Guadalmina and El Higueral Golf.
