Dual-access building land beside the fairways in Santa María Golf

Santa María Golf sits on the inland side of Elviria, close to the golf course, local amenities and the road connections toward the beach, Marbella and Puerto Banús. This 1,088 m² residential plot in Elviria is a resale parcel within that established urbanisation, offering panoramic views and boundaries that touch two separate roads.

Dual street frontage and site logistics

Having access from two streets is the defining practical feature of the parcel. On a plot of this size, dual frontage allows a buyer to separate pedestrian arrival from vehicle entry, or to bring construction traffic onto the site from one side while keeping the other clear. During the build, that removes the bottleneck of crane and lorry access that often complicates single-frontage plots in hillside golf urbanisations. Once finished, it means a basement garage ramp does not have to share the same gate as the main entrance.

Planning parameters and permitted volume

The planning figures specify a building capacity of 30% for an individual detached house, with a maximum height of 7.5 metres. In practice, 30% of 1,088 m² allows 326 m² of above-ground built area, before adding a basement, porches and open or covered terraces, which are calculated outside that primary footprint under local rules. The parcel also has an available project with a building licence for a 484.53 m² villa that makes use of the basement, solarium and private pool allowances. A buyer can either build to that licensed envelope to save the months normally spent waiting for town hall approval, or use those verified numbers as a baseline to submit a modified design within the same 326 m² above-ground limit and 7.5-metre ridge height.

What to verify before making an offer

When buying a residential plot in Elviria that carries an existing licence, the first task for a conveyancer is to check the issue date and validity period of the permit at the town hall, and whether any extension is needed before works start. A buyer should also request the topographic and geotechnical surveys that underpinned the project to understand the natural gradient between the two streets and the excavation conditions for the basement and pool. Finally, confirm the exact boundary setbacks, where water, electricity and drainage connect at both street frontages, and whether the Santa María Golf community statutes place any rules on boundary walls or construction working hours.
