Lakeside Cortijo Estate in Los Flamingos

Interior Description

A private driveway leads to the entrance of this charming cortijo estate, where the home’s distinctive Andalusian character becomes immediately apparent. The residence is arranged around a central courtyard, creating a traditional layout that enhances natural light and privacy throughout the property.

Inside, the villa offers a collection of elegant living and dining rooms that reflect the warm, rustic charm of classic Spanish architecture. The traditional kitchen retains its original features and provides a functional space with the opportunity to create a contemporary culinary hub.

The property includes six bedrooms, five of which open directly onto the central courtyard. This arrangement reinforces the classic cortijo atmosphere while allowing each room to enjoy natural light and garden views.

While the home preserves many original architectural elements, it also presents a unique opportunity for thoughtful modernisation, allowing a future owner to transform the property into a sophisticated contemporary estate while maintaining its authentic heritage.

Terraces, Pool & Gardens

The outdoor spaces are among the most remarkable features of this estate. The swimming pool area enjoys sweeping views across the tranquil lake and surrounding hills, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting for relaxation.

Large terraces and shaded dining areas offer ideal spaces for entertaining and outdoor living throughout the year. Meanwhile, the extensive gardens — though currently requiring some care — offer enormous potential to be redesigned into a spectacular landscaped environment.

With over 10,000 m² of land, the grounds provide exceptional privacy and a true sense of countryside living within easy reach of Marbella and the coast.

Community & Location

Los Flamingos is one of the most prestigious residential areas in Benahavis, centred around the renowned Villa Padierna Golf Resort. The area is known for its luxury villas, golf courses and tranquil surroundings overlooking the Mediterranean.

Despite its peaceful setting, the estate remains close to everyday amenities. The beaches of the New Golden Mile are only a short drive away, while Marbella, Puerto Banús and Estepona are easily accessible via the nearby coastal road. Málaga International Airport can typically be reached in around 45 minutes.

FAQs

• How much are the total purchase costs for this property?
  As a guide in Andalucía, allow roughly ~10% on a resale property (7% ITP + approx. 3% total for solicitor, notary and registry fees). On a purchase price of €3,250,000 this means allowing around €325,000 for taxes and costs, giving a rough total budget in the region of €3,575,000. That equates to approximately £3,055,000 or about $3,850,000 depending on exchange rates. We’ll confirm exact figures when making an offer.
• Is the property suitable for renovation?
  Yes. The estate retains its traditional character and original architectural elements, offering an exceptional opportunity to renovate and modernise the property while preserving its authentic Andalusian charm.

  The villa sits on a substantial plot of approximately 10,277 m² with mature gardens, terraces and a lakeside setting.
