Detached Villa in Benahavís

A sweeping 5,000 m² frontline plot overlooking the fairways of Los Arqueros Golf serves as the foundation for this expansive villa in Puerto del Almendro. Originally constructed in 1977, the property occupies a prime frontline golf position within an established residential enclave, offering a level of privacy and land scale that is increasingly rare in the Benahavís area. The existing structure provides a substantial footprint for a comprehensive modernization or a complete architectural redesign to fully capitalize on its vast boundaries.

The main residence is predominantly arranged on a single level, facilitating a seamless flow between the primary living areas. It currently features three bedroom suites, all designed with generous proportions and integrated storage. Central to the home is a spacious living and dining area that leads into a large kitchen characterized by its distinctive vaulted ceiling. This layout provides a functional core that can be easily adapted to open-plan contemporary standards while maintaining the house’s original character.

Complementing the main house is a separate staff or guest apartment, providing independent living quarters for visitors or live-in help. The exterior is defined by mature Mediterranean gardens and a private swimming pool, all oriented to the south to maximize sunlight throughout the day. Functional additions include a private garage, a dedicated storage room, and fitted wardrobes in all bedrooms, with climate control managed via air conditioning and a classic fireplace in the lounge.

Situated in the gated and tranquil community of Los Almendros, the villa enjoys a quiet atmosphere while remaining exceptionally well-connected. The vibrant hub of San Pedro de Alcántara is reachable in just 9 minutes, while the luxury amenities of Puerto Banús, the beaches of Guadalmina, and the center of Marbella are a short drive away. This Benahavís location is highly sought after by those who prioritize proximity to world-class golf courses and international schools without sacrificing peace and security.

This property represents a significant opportunity for a buyer looking to develop a bespoke family home on a scale that reflects the plot’s massive dimensions. Given that the current 452 m² build is considered underbuilt for a 5,000 m² plot, there is clear scope for expansion and repositioning within the high-end Benahavís market.
