Tierra Viva

Tierra Viva sits on a hillside in Los Jaralillos, in the upper reaches of Benahavís and it is aimed at a buyer who wants a house with an identity rather than simply a large one. Fifty-three villas are stepped across the slope at different levels so that no roof blocks another's view of the Mediterranean. Each home runs from 700 to 1,450 square metres of built area, on plots that agents marketing the scheme put at between 1,000 and 2,881 square metres.

The architecture takes its cue from Automobili Lamborghini and the borrowing goes well beyond a badge. Taut geometry, long horizontal lines and, in selected villas, a car lift that brings a vehicle up into the house itself, so the collection becomes part of the interior.

Every villa has its own pool, a sauna, a home cinema, a roof terrace, a multipurpose room that converts to a gym and a lift serving all floors.

Prices run from €8.4m to €11m, a long way above the Benahavís resale market, where large villas currently list between roughly €2.4m and €4.7m. What that premium buys is scarcity: 53 houses, a branded address of a kind Spain has not seen before and a hillside that cannot be repeated. Bedroom counts of four, five and six appear in third-party listings rather than the developer's own Spanish material, so confirm configuration before reserving. Construction is under way, with completion scheduled for June 2028.
