Description
Set within an exclusive gated community of high quality villas, this elegant four-bedroom independent home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, quality, and spectacular scenery. Nestled in a peaceful natural setting above the picturesque village of Benahavís, the property enjoys stunning views across the surrounding hills and out towards the Mediterranean Sea. Occupying a quiet position on a cul-de-sac, the villa is designed across four levels and is connected throughout by a private elevator, offering both comfort and practicality. The home has been finished to a high standard, with quality materials and a layout that has been carefully planned to create bright, generous living spaces throughout. The main living area is particularly impressive, with a spacious lounge and dining area that flows naturally into the kitchen, creating a sociable and welcoming heart of the home. Large windows and terrace doors allow natural light to pour in, while also making the most of the beautiful open views and desired indoor-outdoor lifestyle that defines living on the Costa del Sol. The villa offers four bedrooms in total, including three well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, providing excellent accommodation for both family living and visiting guests. Each room has been designed with comfort in mind, while the overall feel of the property is calm, elegant, and refined. One of the home’s standout features is its impressive lower ground level, which adds significant versatility to the layout and enhances the sense of space throughout the property. Whether used for additional living, entertainment, storage, or lifestyle needs, this floor gives the villa a flexibility that is increasingly sought after in luxury homes. Outside, the private swimming pool and terraces provide the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the villa’s tranquil surroundings. From morning coffee to sunset evenings, the outdoor spaces are designed to make the most of the stunning setting and Mediterranean climate. The property also benefits from private parking for two cars. Residents of Benahavís Hills Country Club enjoy the security and prestige of a gated development of luxury villas, along with access to excellent communal wellness facilities including an onsite gym, indoor pool and spa, adding to the appeal of this exceptional home (although, the clubhouse facilities are currently closed but due to re-open soon). Combining a peaceful location, generous proportions, high-quality finishes, private pool, sea views, and access to superb community amenities, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a stylish villa in one of the most desirable residential enclaves above Benahavís.

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.
