Description

Located in the most privileged position within the exclusive community of Montemayor, in Benahavís, this recently built villa, completed in 2022, redefines the concept of luxury living in harmony with nature.

Set on a generous plot of 2,681 m2, the property has been designed with a clear purpose: to make the blue of the Mediterranean and the green of the mountains the true protagonists of every room. Here, the architecture does not simply occupy the space; it engages with the landscape and frames it from every angle.

With 460 m2 built and impeccably distributed over two levels, the home enjoys exceptional natural light thanks to its south-facing orientation and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows. The heart of the villa is a spacious open-plan living and dining area with a fireplace, seamlessly connected to an elegant designer kitchen equipped with a central island, work area and independent pantry. From every point, whether cooking, sharing a meal or relaxing by the fire, panoramic views of the sea and surrounding nature are always present.

The villa features five generous bedrooms, each conceived as a private and serene retreat with direct views of the natural surroundings. The principal suite offers maximum comfort and includes a spacious walk-in wardrobe, a bathroom with spectacular sea views and two independent bedrooms wrapped in panoramic vistas. In addition, the property offers a bright and inspiring office, where working becomes a calm and contemplative experience overlooking the Mediterranean.

The transition between indoors and outdoors is almost invisible. The social area opens onto a magnificent covered terrace, conceived as a true open-air summer lounge, with a relaxation area, outdoor dining space and barbecue area. All of this is set in front of a heated infinity pool that appears to merge with the horizon and the sea beyond.

The landscaped garden is an ode to the Mediterranean lifestyle, with pathways winding through the plot among fruit trees, including loquat and lemon trees, bringing fragrance, freshness and privacy to the entire setting.

The property combines beauty, comfort and efficiency. It is equipped with an aerothermal system, underfloor heating throughout the home and solar panels, offering a more responsible and efficient approach to energy management. It also features a spacious laundry area, generous storage spaces, a storage room, a private garage for two vehicles and advanced video surveillance and security systems.

Living in Montemayor is synonymous with privacy, exclusivity and connection with nature. This gated community offers 24-hour security and restricted access, ensuring a peaceful and protected environment surrounded by nature. All of this is just a few minutes from the best golf courses, a wide range of services, the charming village of Benahavís and the vibrant energy of Marbella, yet with the silence, privacy and purity of air that make Montemayor a truly special enclave.

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.
