Plot with Approved Project & Building Licence in El Herrojo Alto, Benahavís
Asking prices across the agency networks we track, as at 30 July 2026. Bars span the middle half of each peer group; the line marks the median. The first bar covers apartments and houses together, so a house will often sit high on it.
These are the averages across ALL houses in Benahavis that disclose a figure, not this property alone. Where a bill for this one is on file it is shown against that range so you can see where it sits. Bills follow the rateable value and the community budget, so two neighbours can differ; we will get you the actual figures before you commit.
Registered sale prices across Benahavis, October 2025 to April 2026. Real money paid and recorded, not asking prices. The deed count is a measure of our coverage of the register, not of how many homes sold, and deeds register some months after the sale, so this is one pooled figure for the whole window rather than a monthly line.
Three different measures, shown separately because they are not comparable: what sellers ask, what deeds record, and what valuers assess. The last two cover a whole postcode and a whole municipality at every price level, so a prime property will always sit well above them.
About this property
A rare opportunity to acquire a prime residential plot in the prestigious gated community of El Herrojo Alto, Benahavís, offered together with an exceptional contemporary architectural project and building licence.
Elevated above the coastline, the plot enjoys spectacular panoramic views across the Mediterranean Sea towards Gibraltar and the North African coastline. Its privileged position within one of La Quinta’s most established gated communities combines privacy, security and outstanding proximity to Marbella and Puerto Banús.
The property is sold as a complete plot + project + licence opportunity, allowing the new owner to take over an advanced development and proceed with the construction of an exceptional contemporary villa without having to start the architectural and licensing process from the beginning.
The approved project has been carefully designed to maximise the plot’s elevated position and panoramic sea views. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, expansive terraces and generous open-plan living areas create a strong connection between the interior and exterior spaces, with the Mediterranean landscape forming a backdrop throughout the home.
The proposed villa has been conceived as a high-end private residence with an extensive collection of lifestyle and wellness facilities, including a private gym, spa, Turkish bath, wine cellar, entertainment lounge with bar and indoor swimming pool.
The outdoor areas have been designed around a heated infinity pool, spacious terraces, landscaped gardens and multiple lounge and entertaining areas, all positioned to take full advantage of the exceptional views.
The project also includes a secure enclosed garage with covered parking for three vehicles.
Located just minutes from La Quinta Golf, Puerto Banús and Marbella, as well as international schools, restaurants and a wide range of amenities, the property offers an exceptional combination of location, views and development potential.
For a buyer looking to create a landmark contemporary residence in Benahavís, this represents a unique opportunity to acquire a prime plot with the architectural vision and building licence already in place.
A ready-to-build opportunity in one of the most desirable gated communities above Marbella.

Is La Quinta in Marbella or Benahavís?
Benahavís. The Catastro records the golf course and the land around it in Benahavís, postcode 29679, although you reach the valley from San Pedro and most residents treat Marbella as their town. The official street register carries an area called La Quinta Golf in both callejeros, Marbella’s and Benahavís’s, so the boundary runs through this valley. Establish which side a house sits on before you offer, because the town hall that handles its licences and bills its IBI follows the plot.
How far is La Quinta from Puerto Banús and San Pedro?
About ten minutes to either. San Pedro is roughly four kilometres down the valley and Puerto Banús roughly eight, with Nueva Andalucía in between. Benahavís village is a quarter of an hour the other way, Málaga airport around an hour east.
Is La Quinta a gated community?
No, it is a valley of several separate communities with a golf course through the middle of it, rather than one gated development. Many blocks and clusters have their own gate, gardens and charge, and the villa ground above is different again. Ask us about the specific community, because fees and security vary a great deal within one address.
