Dual street access and bordering parkland on an elevated site

Vehicle access from both the upper and lower boundaries sets this 1,164 m² residential plot in El Rosario apart from single-entry hillside sites. Because the land borders two roads, including a private cul-de-sac on the upper level, an architect can separate driveway entry from living levels or bring construction machinery onto the site from either end without crane complications. It sits inside a gated community with 24-hour security and looks out toward the mountains with partial panoramic views of the sea and Marbella Bay.

Zoning classification and buildable allowance

Under its UE-4 zoning classification, the parcel allows for up to 400 m² of buildable area. Applicable planning regulations permit basements, porches, and terraces in addition to that main figure, meaning the total usable footprint of a completed house can be substantially larger than the base allowance. A preliminary design is already available for review, which gives an immediate indication of how a home can sit on the slope to capture the sea and mountain views while respecting boundary setbacks.

Adjoining green zones and connected services

The surrounding plots are designated for parks and gardens rather than further housing. For the person building here, that planning designation protects the immediate outlook and prevents neighbouring houses from encroaching on the boundaries in the future. Infrastructure is already at the boundary: the land is connected to water, electricity, and the main sewer network. Having mains drainage and power in place removes the cost and delay of bringing utilities up the hill before ground can be broken.

What to verify before making an offer

Although the urban lot is ready for a building permit application, the agent notes this is subject to confirmation of the relevant zoning conditions. Walking the plot at different times of day is also sensible to see where the clearest partial views of Marbella Bay sit relative to the upper cul-de-sac, as that sightline will dictate the elevation of the main terrace.
