House, Benahavís, Málaga

Properties like this rarely come to market.

Located just a short walk from the centre of Benahavís, this unique detached villa offers a rare combination of privacy, peace and breathtaking panoramic views. Finding a home of this calibre, with such a privileged position so close to the village, is truly uncommon.

Known as the gastronomic heart of the Costa del Sol, Benahavís is loved for its authentic Andalusian charm and exceptional lifestyle. From the villa, you can easily walk to a wonderful selection of restaurants, cafés and bars, local shops, and scenic hiking trails that wind through the surrounding natural landscape.

Set behind electric gates, the property welcomes you with a spacious driveway with parking for several cars, as well as a double garage. Inside, the home offers generous living spaces including a large kitchen with a bright breakfast room, a separate utility room, and an impressive dining area ideal for hosting family and friends.

The main living room is both elegant and inviting, with high beamed ceilings and a cosy fireplace that creates a warm atmosphere throughout the year. From here, doors open onto a large terrace and beautifully landscaped garden, where a heated swimming pool allows you to enjoy outdoor living in every season.

The outdoor space is exceptionally private and enjoys uninterrupted views across the valley, the village, surrounding protected forests and towards the exclusive La Zagaleta.

Upstairs, the main house features three very spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and generous dressing areas. On the lower level, a separate guest apartment provides flexible accommodation, perfect for visitors, staff or independent living for teenagers.

The gardens are beautifully maintained, filled with mature plants, colourful flowers and fruit trees, creating a peaceful setting that feels more like a private retreat than a village home.

The location is ideal, with both international and local schools just a short drive away, and a wide selection of golf courses within ten minutes. The vibrant marina of Puerto Banús is only 12 minutes away, Estepona is 15 minutes, and Málaga airport can be reached in around 45 minutes.

This is a truly special home that offers something very difficult to find in this area, and it needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
