Villa in El Madroñal, Benahavís, with sea views and a large plot

The villa

This villa in El Madroñal, in the municipality of Benahavís, keeps the character of a traditional Andalusian home. It is arranged over three levels and offers 342 m² of built space, four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The high ceilings in the main living area and the principal bedroom give the interior a real sense of space and openness.

The house is in good condition, and selective modernisation would let a new owner give it a contemporary Mediterranean feel while keeping its original charm.

Plot and outdoor space

The plot measures 5,558 m² (registered area), which is rare for this part of the coast. It includes a private garden, terraces and a heated private swimming pool. With a south west orientation, the outdoor areas are a pleasant place to spend the day, and the views reach across the sea, the mountains, the forest and the pool.

There is also a guest house on the grounds. Any further possibilities for the land would need a feasibility study and the necessary planning approvals.

Location

The villa sits in a country setting close to forest and golf courses. Marbella, Puerto Banús and the coast are easy to reach from the house.

Who it suits

This villa will appeal to buyers who want a home with character rather than a standard contemporary development. It works well as a family residence or a holiday retreat with generous outdoor space, privacy and wide views, especially for those who enjoy putting their own stamp on a property.
