Reform Villa with Sea Views and Large Plot in Atalaya
This detached villa for sale in Atalaya, Benahavis offers a rare chance to create a substantial family home in one of the most convenient locations between Marbella and Estepona. Set on a generous south-west facing plot of 4,468m², the property enjoys sea views, excellent sunlight and clear scope for a full redesign. Moreover, it sits close to El Campanario Club, Atalaya Golf and Country Club, daily amenities and Atalaya International College, making it especially appealing for buyers who want space, location and long-term upside.

- Large 4,468m² plot with scope to reshape and expand the garden
- Built area of 467m² plus approximately 100m² of terraces
- Six bedrooms and five bathrooms
- South-west orientation with sea views
- Walking distance to Atalaya International College
- Well placed for Marbella, Estepona, golf and local amenities
Interior Description
The existing villa is a large family home dating from 1986 and now requires a complete reform. However, the overall footprint, room count and plot size create an exciting base for a high-quality renovation project. With six bedrooms and five bathrooms already in place, there is enough volume to reconfigure the layout for modern open-plan living, larger bedroom suites and stronger indoor-outdoor flow. Additionally, the property should suit buyers working with an architect who want to bring a dated house up to contemporary standards while tailoring the finish to their own taste.
Terrace & Views
The villa benefits from a south-west orientation, which supports afternoon sun and sunset light across the terraces and main living areas. Sea views already add value, and the outlook could improve further once the plot is cleared and landscaped more effectively. Meanwhile, the 100m² of terrace space provides a practical starting point for outdoor dining, lounging and entertaining. The real opportunity lies in reimagining the exterior areas so the house connects more naturally with a far larger and more attractive garden setting.
Community & Location
Atalaya remains a practical and well-connected address for full-time living, holiday use or investment. This home sits next to Atalaya Golf and Country Club and close to El Campanario Club, so leisure facilities are nearby. Moreover, shops, restaurants, beaches, international schools and the road links to Marbella, San Pedro and Estepona are all within easy reach. For families in particular, the walking distance to Atalaya International College adds everyday convenience that is hard to replicate in many larger plot properties.

FAQs
- How much are the total purchase costs?
As a guide in Andalucía, allow roughly 10% on a resale property. On €2,000,000, that is about €200,000, giving a total budget near €2,200,000. Using ECB reference rates from 10 March 2026, that is roughly £173,090 in costs and £1,903,990 total, or about $232,820 in costs and $2,561,020 total. We’ll confirm exact figures when making an offer. - Is this mainly a renovation project?
Yes. The villa needs a complete reform, so it is best suited to buyers who want to redesign and modernise the home. - Could the garden and views be improved?

The property is described as being within walking distance, which is a strong advantage for family buyers. - Who is this home likely to suit best?
It should appeal to investors, developers or families who want a large villa plot in a prime practical location and are ready to renovate.
