CONDITION
The property is exceptionally well maintained and ready for immediate occupancy. There are no known major defects or damages and no immediate investment is required.
The villa can therefore be enjoyed in its current condition or transformed into a significantly more modern luxury residence.
OPTIONAL COMPLETE RENOVATION – APPROX. €350,000
For buyers who wish to purchase the property and immediately transform it into a modern luxury villa, we can also organise and carry out a complete renovation for an additional cost of approximately €350,000, depending on the final design, materials and specifications selected by the buyer.
The proposed renovation concept can include:
Reconfiguration of the villa to create 3 to 4 spacious bedrooms
Large open-plan living and dining area with a modern open kitchen
Up to 3 modern bathrooms
Large, bright floor-to-ceiling windows with elegant dark/black frames
New modern entrance door
Completely redesigned driveway and main entrance
New entrance gate
Modernisation and improvement of the garage
Complete garden redesign and landscaping
Renovation and modernisation of the swimming pool and surrounding areas
New interior finishes, flooring and contemporary design elements
Modernisation of the overall exterior appearance of the villa
The objective would be to transform the existing property into a bright, contemporary luxury villa while maintaining its Mediterranean and Andalusian character.
The final renovation specification can be individually adapted to the buyer's requirements.
EXCEPTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION POTENTIAL
This exclusive property offers not only outstanding comfort and privacy but also exceptional future development potential.
According to the available architect's documentation, the property has a permitted building density (Edificabilidad) of 0.613 m²/m², a maximum building height of 15 metres, and allows for up to three storeys.
Based on the plot size of approximately 1,363.50 m², this represents a theoretical development potential of up to approximately 836 m² of built area, subject to confirmation and planning approval by Benahavís Town Hall.
Neighbouring luxury villas within the community have already been developed over three levels, further demonstrating the development character of this exclusive residential area.
This creates an exceptional opportunity for a future owner to significantly expand the existing villa and potentially create a substantial luxury residence with additional bedrooms, guest accommodation, wellness and spa facilities, gym, home cinema, entertainment areas, offices or other bespoke living spaces.
The available architectural and property documentation can be provided to seriously interested buyers upon request.

- Area
- Benahavís · area guide
- Location quality
- A separate municipality inland of Marbella, home to many of the coast’s gated villa estates.
- Rental potential
- Not assessed from feed data. Licensing, seasonality and costs are reviewed in a full memo.
- Liquidity considerations
- Sits in the deepest part of the prime market; resale demand is typically broad, with condition and location the main differentiators.
- Relative value
- We do not publish valuations or comparables we have not verified. A comparable set is prepared on request.
Why we like it
- Views listed in the feed: sea, mountain, pool.
- Private or communal pool listed.
- Security: alarm system, 24 hour security.
- Generous plot relative to the house: 1,363 m² of land for 266 m² built.
- Condition listed as excellent.
What we would challenge
- Asking price only: we form a view of value from verified comparables before recommending an offer.
What we would verify
- Registered versus cadastral areas for plot and built surfaces
- Licence of first occupation and legality of all structures
- Charges, encumbrances and ownership at the land registry
- Local taxes (IBI), community fees and any pending levies
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.
