Renovation 5 Bedroom Villa For Sale in El Paraiso Alto Benahavis

Interior Layout

This villa offers the scale and structure required for a serious renovation project. Built across three levels, the property provides generous living areas, multiple bedroom suites and the flexibility to create a more contemporary family home.

The entrance hall has impressive double-height potential, giving the future design a strong sense of arrival. From there, the main living areas can be reworked to create brighter, more open spaces that connect naturally with the gardens and terraces.

The existing layout includes five bedrooms and six bathrooms, making the house suitable for large families, visiting guests or a buyer wanting office, gym or cinema space. In addition, the basement, private garage, storage room and utility room add practical depth to the property.

Although updating is required, the villa has solid construction quality and a substantial footprint. Therefore, it provides a strong base for a tailored refurbishment rather than a complete rebuild.

Terraces and Views at this Detached Villa for sale in El Paraiso Alto Benahavis

The 1,711 m² plot gives the villa generous outdoor potential. With the right landscaping, the garden could become a private Mediterranean setting with terraces, shaded dining areas and relaxed spaces around the pool.

The south-east orientation brings morning and daytime light into the home and garden. Meanwhile, the views take in the sea, mountains, golf, countryside and surrounding residential landscape.

This combination of plot size, orientation and outlook gives the property clear lifestyle potential. Moreover, the outdoor areas provide enough space to support a more modern, indoor-outdoor villa design.

Community & Location

El Paraiso Alto is an established residential area close to golf, shops and everyday amenities. It sits between Marbella, Benahavis and Estepona, offering a practical base for buyers who want space and privacy without feeling remote.

The area continues to attract attention from buyers seeking larger plots, renovation opportunities and long-term value. In addition, new luxury development nearby is helping to raise the profile of this wider residential pocket.

The villa is close to golf courses, international schools, restaurants and the coast. As a result, it works well for buyers planning a permanent residence, second home or value-add investment project.
