Building land with a licensed project in Casares Costa

Majestic Hills sits on elevated ground in Casares Costa, close to the fairways of Finca Cortesín and Casares Golf, with the beaches, Estepona and Sotogrande a short drive along the coast. This resale residential plot in Majestic Hills, Casares Playa is sold with a licensed villa project already in place, removing the long wait for municipal planning approval that normally delays a self-build on the western Costa del Sol.

Dimensions and the approved build allowance

The parcel measures 983 square metres. The accompanied project and building licence allow for a contemporary detached house with a total built area of 458 square metres, a figure that includes a basement level. Within the grounds, the approved external plans provide for a private swimming pool, a private garden and terraces. Having the licence granted means a buyer can move straight to tendering the construction contract rather than spending months testing what the local planning department will accept on the land.

Elevation, aspect and surrounding views

Because the land stands on higher ground within the urbanisation, the outlook clears the immediate neighbours. The parcel takes in panoramic sea views alongside open sights across the green valley and towards the mountains. On a sloping or elevated site, the exact height of the ground floor slab dictates how much of that horizon is visible from the garden as well as the upper levels, which the architectural drawings in the project file will show.

What to establish before making an offer

Buying a residential plot in Majestic Hills, Casares Playa with an existing licence saves considerable time, provided the approved plans match what the buyer wants to build. Before committing, a buyer and their lawyer should check the validity dates and conditions of the building licence at the town hall, and find out what procedure applies if minor changes to the design are wanted. It is also worth requesting the topographical and geotechnical surveys used for the basement calculations, and verifying where water, electricity and drainage connect at the boundary.
