Detached Villa in Los Almendros
Location: Puerto de Los Almendros, Benahavís
Plot Size: 5,000 m²
Existing Built Area: 453 m² (villa, porches, outbuildings – built 1977)
Buildable Area: Up to 1,000 m² (20% coefficient)
Asking Price: €2,300,000 (slightly negotiable)
PROPERTY OVERVIEW
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 5,000 m² residential plot in the sought‑after Los Almendros urbanisation, Benahavís. The site currently hosts a 1970s villa and ancillary buildings (total 453 m²), offering ample scope for redevelopment. With a building coefficient of 0.20, the plot potentially allows for up to 1,000 m² of above‑ground construction — ideal for creating a modern luxury villa.
Set within a secure, low‑density gated community, this plot offers exceptional privacy combined with open golf and mountain views. The existing villa is ideal for either a full redevelopment or a high‑quality renovation.
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
There are two attractive development routes:
1. Full Redevelopment (Most Popular Option)
- Build up to 900 m² above ground (plus potentially a basement)
- Maximum height: 2 floors / 7 metres
- Minimum 3 m setbacks from boundaries
- Estimated construction cost for a modern 900 m² villa: €900,000 - €2,000,000 (dependent on finish)
- Demolition/preparation allowance: €100,000
- Expected resale value for a new 900 m² villa: €5.4M–€6.75M
- Likely ROI: ~25–30% based on current market conditions
2. Renovation & Extension of Existing Villa
- Existing structure: 453 m²
- Potential to add a second floor or extend within the 900 m² allowance
- Renovation budgets vary depending on scope, but typically €500,000–€600,000 for a full modernisation
- Faster project timeline and lower upfront cost
- Ideal for buyers wanting a personalised home without a full rebuild
MARKET COMPARISONS
