An 80 m² development parcel with a ten-metre street frontage

The beach, town plazas and daily shops are all reached on foot from this street in the historic centre. This residential plot in Estepona measures 80 square metres and sits within the traditional street grid of the Old Town, offering a rare chance to build from the ground up in an established beachside neighbourhood.

Frontage, depth and sun

Townhouses and plots in the historic centre are often narrow and deep, which limits how much daylight reaches the middle of a building. This parcel has a frontage of nearly 10 metres, a proportion that changes how a future building will sit on the street. Across an 80-square-metre footprint, this generous width allows for a far more balanced façade than is typically available in this location. Combined with a south-facing orientation, that width allows direct sun across the front elevation throughout the day, solving the main light restriction found in tight urban streets.

Permitted built area across levels

Current planning parameters for this residential plot in Estepona allow for approximately 208 square metres of built area above ground, stepped back across three distinct levels. The rules permit an 80-square-metre ground floor covering the full footprint of the land, a 72-square-metre first floor, and a 56-square-metre attic level above that. Subject to final technical design and ground excavation feasibility, there is also potential to dig out a basement of roughly 40 square metres, which would bring the total built area to approximately 248 square metres.

What to establish before offering

Building inside a historic urban footprint requires specific technical checks before committing to a purchase.

What is the total built area allowed on this residential plot in Estepona?

Planning parameters allow for approximately 208 square metres of built area above ground. This is divided into an 80-square-metre ground floor, a 72-square-metre first floor, and a 56-square-metre attic level.

Can a basement be added to the building project?

Yes, there is potential to incorporate a basement of roughly 40 square metres, which would increase the total built area to around 248 square metres. This addition is subject to final technical design and excavation feasibility on the site.

How wide is the street frontage of the parcel?

The plot has a frontage of nearly 10 metres along the residential street. In the Old Town grid, where parcels are typically narrow, this width allows for a broader facade and brings more natural light into the building footprint.

Which direction does the land face?

The parcel has a south-facing orientation. Together with the 10-metre frontage, this ensures the plot receives direct sunlight throughout the day, which is a practical advantage in the dense historic centre.

What amenities are within walking distance of the plot?

The land is in Estepona Old Town in a beachside setting. Town plazas, shops, daily amenities and the beachfront are all within walking distance.

Property Description

Development Opportunity in Estepona Old Town

An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a wide-fronted development parcel in one of the most desirable residential streets within Estepona’s historic centre.

The plot extends to approximately 80m², with a generous frontage of nearly 10 metres — a notable advantage within the tightly held Old Town grid. This width allows for a far more balanced and architecturally expressive façade than is typically available in this location.

Planning parameters allow for the construction of:
80m² ground floor
72m² first floor
56m² attic level

Providing approximately 208m² above ground, with additional potential — subject to final technical design and excavation feasibility — to incorporate a circa 40m² basement, creating a total built area of approximately 248m².

The plot benefits from a south-facing orientation, ensuring excellent natural light throughout the day — a genuine advantage in the Old Town environment where orientation is critical.

Positioned just moments from some of Estepona’s most beautiful plazas and within comfortable walking distance of all amenities and the beachfront, the setting offers both privacy and immediate access to the vibrancy of town living.

Opportunities of this nature are finite. The historic centre has a fixed urban footprint, and well-located development parcels of meaningful width seldom come to market.

This represents a compelling opportunity for a private buyer seeking to create a ‌bespoke ‌residence ‌in ‌a prime ‌location, ‌or ‌for ‌a ‌discerning ‌investor/developer looking to deliver ‌a high-quality ‌end ‌product in one of the ‌Costa ‌del ‌Sol’s ‌most ‌authentic ‌urban ‌settings.
