Detached Villa in Benahavís
€2,999,000Asking price · Ref. R5206414
Description
A five bedroom villa built and finished in 2025 within Monte Mayor, its 26 metre pool set against uninterrupted views across the gated valley below.
Monte Mayor sits above Benahavis in a valley of olive groves and cork oak, one of the few gated estates on this coast where the landscape was left largely intact rather than built over. Plots here are generous and set well apart, screened by mature planting, giving the estate a genuinely rural character despite being only minutes from the coast. Benahavis village, the gastronomic centre of this stretch of coast, sits around fifteen minutes away, along with golf courses including Marbella Club, Los Flamingos and El Higueral, and international schools such as Atalaya and the British International School of Marbella.
Completed in 2025, the villa is arranged across two levels around an open plan layout, its living spaces framed by panoramic windows that keep the surrounding hills and sea in constant view. Clean lines and a restrained material palette run throughout, favouring the setting over ornament.
Five bedrooms are included, three of them en suite, with a further guest bathroom serving the remainder of the plan.
The 26 metre pool is the villa's defining feature, long enough for genuine laps rather than a purely ornamental stretch of water, set within a private garden across the 2,100 square metre plot.
Private parking for four cars is included, within Monte Mayor's gated perimeter.

Acquisition considerations
- Resale purchases in Andalusia are generally subject to 7% transfer tax (ITP); new-build purchases to VAT plus stamp duty. Notary, registry and legal fees are additional. Confirm with your lawyer.
- A private purchase contract with a deposit (often around 10%) normally precedes completion before a notary.
- Financing approvals should be secured before signing a deposit contract.

Financing examples are illustrative and do not constitute an offer of credit. Availability depends on the client profile, collateral, property, jurisdiction and lender approval. Portfolio-backed lending may be illustrated at up to approximately 70% loan-to-value where suitable. Actual lending value depends on portfolio composition, concentration, volatility, liquidity, currency, jurisdiction and lender approval. Borrowing below the maximum leaves a buffer if markets fall. Mortgage approval depends on income, residency, property value and lender. How Smart Financing works.
