Detached Villa in Benahavís

Description

An Andalusian-style villa for sale in the gated hillside estate of Monte Mayor, Benahavís, built in 2008 and substantially upgraded by the current owners, including a redesigned kitchen and utility room. Entry is through a traditional Andalusian courtyard with a fountain, and the interiors keep their period character throughout: terracotta floors with wooden inlays, arched windows and pitched wooden ceilings. The main floor holds the living and dining areas opening onto the terrace and garden, a fireplace, a separate office, and a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom and its own terrace. The lower level has three further en-suite bedrooms, all opening onto terraces, including a generous master suite. The basement is a large multi-purpose space currently set up as a semi-professional gym, games room and storage area. Outdoors, landscaped terraces wrap around a heated swimming pool. The owners have added a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and bar, a shower room, extra storage with a pump room, and a chill-out area with a large day bed, while solar-powered lighting extends the gardens into the evening. The plot measures almost 3,000 m², well above the estate's 2,000 m² minimum, giving the villa real seclusion. Terraces and many interior rooms look out over green hills and protected valleys towards the Mediterranean, and wild deer are a common sight on the grounds. The coast, beaches and supermarkets are around 10 minutes away, with Marbella Club Golf Resort nearby for golf, its clubhouse restaurant and an equestrian centre. The estate has 24-hour security. Among villas for sale in Marbella's hinterland, this one stands apart from the current run of minimalist white-box builds, a house with genuine warmth and history behind it.
