Renovation Villa on Large Private Plot — Puerto del Almendro, Benahavis
This Andalusian-style villa for sale in Los Almendros, Benahavis, sits in the gated Puerto del Almendro community on a generous private plot and offers strong potential for a full renovation project in a quiet, leafy setting close to golf and coastal amenities.
Property Highlights
- Large private plot of around 5,842 m² in Los Almendros.
- Approx. 133 m² built plus 51 m² of terraces.
- Two bedrooms and two bathrooms with scope to extend.
- Traditional Andalusian villa structure ready for redesign.
- Quiet gated community close to golf clubs and local services.
- Flexible layout suitable for open-plan living or eco-friendly upgrades.
- Mature greenery and open surroundings in a low-density area.
- Easy access by car to Benahavís, San Pedro, Marbella and Puerto Banús.
Plot & Build Potential
The villa occupies a substantial 5,842 m² plot with mature trees, natural surroundings and a calm atmosphere. The size and shape of the land allow several design options, from extending the existing house to reworking the interior or updating the style to a more contemporary layout. Moreover, many homes in Puerto del Almendro have already undergone successful renovations, which provides clear examples of what can be achieved.
Buyers often choose to add extra bedrooms, open up walls or create a bright open-plan kitchen and living space. Furthermore, the extensive grounds give room for creative landscaping, a redesigned pool area or additional seating terraces. Eco-focused upgrades also fit well here, including solar panels, improved insulation and water-efficient garden planning. As a result, this property suits buyers who want privacy, space and the freedom to shape a home to their own taste.
We can outline typical build allowances, planning considerations and comparable projects in the area so you understand what is possible before committing to a renovation plan.
Community & Surroundings
Puerto del Almendro forms part of the wider Los Almendros area along the Ronda road. The setting is known for its greenery, open views and low-density feel. Additionally, the gated entrance adds privacy and security, while the surrounding landscape brings a strong sense of calm. Golf courses such as Los Arqueros, La Quinta and El Higueral sit only a short drive away, offering plenty of choice for keen golfers.
Nearby services include cafés, restaurants and local shops in the Benahavís and San Pedro area. Moreover, the main coastal towns remain easy to reach thanks to quick road connections, so you can enjoy a peaceful home base without losing access to day-to-day amenities, beaches and leisure facilities.

FAQs
- What will the total purchase cost be after taxes and fees? For resale homes in Andalucía, allow roughly 10% on top of the purchase price (around 7% ITP plus approximately 3% for notary, registry and legal fees). On €1,350,000, this suggests about €135,000 in costs and a total budget close to €1,485,000; we can provide a simple breakdown for your case.
- Can I extend or redesign the villa? Yes, many nearby homes have added new rooms or redesigned layouts. Moreover, the plot size supports several options. We will confirm current planning rules, build allowances and any community guidelines so you understand what is feasible.
- Are there community facilities? This part of Puerto del Almendro focuses on privacy, greenery and individual plots rather than resort-style facilities. However, golf clubs, sports areas and restaurants sit close by, and we can outline the most relevant options for you.
- How close are shops, restaurants and the beach? Shops, cafés and services in Benahavís and San Pedro are a short drive away. Additionally, beaches and coastal towns such as Marbella and Estepona remain easy to reach via main roads.
- Which golf courses and schools are nearby? Los Arqueros, La Quinta and El Higueral are all close to the area. Furthermore, several international and bilingual schools between Marbella and Estepona can be reached by car, and we can highlight likely options with estimated journey times.
