Detached Villa in Benahavís

Nestled within the secure and prestigious enclave of Los Almendros, Benahavís, this exceptional detached villa stands as a testament to the timeless Andalusian design of the celebrated architect Cesar De Leyva. Occupying an expansive 2,143 m² plot in a tranquil cul-de-sac, the property offers a rare combination of absolute privacy and breathtaking vistas. The south-west orientation ensures the home is bathed in the golden light of the Costa del Sol, framing protected panoramic golf views that stretch across the verdant landscape toward Gibraltar and the North African coastline.

The residence is thoughtfully distributed over two levels, beginning with a double-height entrance hall featuring an inviting fireplace. The social heart of the home includes a grand formal drawing room, a secondary den for relaxed family gatherings, and a dedicated dining room. The kitchen serves as a functional culinary hub with modern appliances and an informal dining area. Accommodations are generous, comprising five spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite on the upper level and two further en-suite bedrooms, all characterized by high ceilings and natural light. An additional office or library and a self-contained staff or guest house ensure versatility for modern living requirements.

The exterior is a Mediterranean sanctuary, where manicured mature gardens wrap around a charming central courtyard with a tranquil fountain. Technical specifications reflect a commitment to year-round comfort, featuring gas central heating, air conditioning, and solar-powered hot water systems. For those with a vision for expansion, the substantial plot allows for a significant increase in buildable area up to 799 m², offering a unique opportunity to tailor the estate to specific requirements. A two-car garage and a wide entrance driveway provide ample parking for residents and guests alike.

Located in the heart of Benahavís, known as the culinary capital of Andalusia, the villa benefits from the proximity to Monte Halcones shopping facilities and the community’s private tennis courts. This villa in Benahavís represents a secure investment in a high-demand micro-climate, offering a peaceful retreat just a short drive from the vibrant life of Marbella and the luxury of Puerto Banús.
