Detached Villa in Benahavís

Description

This villa for sale in Benahavís occupies the highest point in Benahavís Village itself, a position properties in this location rarely reach the market from, as they tend to stay within the same family for generations. Mountain and forest views stretch out from the elevated plot, while the village centre with its restaurants and shops is a short walk downhill. The house currently comprises a studio apartment and a one-bedroom apartment, with scope to create a further unit above the garage. There are no damp issues, plumbing and electrics are fully functional, fibre-optic runs throughout, and a substantial solar panel installation is backed by a large storage area beneath it. The property can also run on gas if preferred. An architect has already drawn up a concept for converting the building into around six self-contained apartments, though a layout with more, smaller units is equally possible. The existing built area exceeds what current planning rules would allow today, so while the footprint and height cannot be extended, the interior can be extensively reconfigured. A full high-end renovation is estimated at roughly €300,000. An additional urban plot, registered in the cadastral records, comes with the property, along with a fully documented option-to-purchase arrangement dating from the previous ownership. The land is classified as rustic, which rules out a hotel licence but allows for a boutique bed & breakfast. The plot is fully fenced and gated. La Zagaleta, La Quinta Golf & Country Club and more than a dozen golf courses sit within the surrounding area.
