About this place
Discover a rare opportunity to acquire one of the few predominantly flat plots within the prestigious gated community of Monte Mayor in Benahavís. This south-west facing plot measures 3,127 m² and offers sweeping panoramic sea views. It has a buildability allowance of 12.2%, allowing for approximately 381 m² of construction above ground, pending planning approval.
The current owner has an established villa design for a total of around 1,050 m², including a basement, although the original building licence has expired, it may be possible to reactivate it. Alternatively, new owners can develop their own design and submit a fresh application. The flat terrain is a significant advantage, facilitating easier construction and providing more usable outdoor spaces while potentially reducing costs related to excavation and retaining walls.
Monte Mayor features 24-hour security, ensuring privacy while providing stunning mountain, valley, and sea views. Conveniently, it is only 8–10 minutes from the coast, and within easy reach of Benahavís, Marbella, Estepona, golf courses, beaches, and international schools. An adjacent plot measuring approximately 4,570 m² is also available for sale, allowing for an expansive combined landholding of approximately 7,697 m², making it an excellent opportunity for developers or investors.

Buying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
