Interior Description

A double-height entrance hall creates a memorable first impression, with the staircase flowing upwards to the owner’s suite and downwards to the garden-level bedrooms. On the entry floor, a cosy living room opens directly onto the main terrace, allowing light and views to define the space. Moreover, a separate office provides a quiet place to work or read away from the main social areas.

The dining room connects to a state-of-the-art, fully fitted kitchen, both enjoying easy access to the terraces for relaxed entertaining. Natural textures, soft lighting and renovated surfaces run throughout, so the home feels warm and inviting while still fresh and up to date.

The principal suite occupies the upper floor and benefits from a private terrace with wide sea and nature vistas, a walk-in closet and a bright en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower. Meanwhile, the garden level offers two generous guest suites plus a further double bedroom with a nearby bathroom, ideal for visiting friends or extended family. Underfloor heating with room-by-room control and full air-conditioning ensure that every space remains comfortable through all seasons.

Terrace & Views

The villa’s south-east outlook embraces morning light, long views and the fresh scent of pine. A heated saltwater pool anchors the main sun terrace, which offers ample room for loungers and relaxed seating. Additionally, a stylish covered chill-out area houses an outdoor kitchen, BBQ corner and dining zone, creating a natural hub for long, easy gatherings with family and friends.

Multiple terraces on different levels frame sea, mountain and forest views, providing intimate corners as well as larger spaces for entertaining. As a result, the outdoor areas support a true Mediterranean lifestyle, whether you favour quiet mornings, pool days or evenings by the grill.

Community & Location

El ​ Madroñal is one of Benahavis’ most prestigious gated estates, renowned for its serenity, natural beauty and elevated views. Mature pines, winding roads and generous plots give a sense of space and privacy that is increasingly rare. At the same time, the estate sits within a short drive of golf courses, restaurants, supermarkets and the beaches of San Pedro.

Furthermore, Puerto Banús and Marbella are typically reached within 15–20 minutes by car, offering an excellent choice of dining, shopping and leisure. Consequently, this villa feels like a countryside escape while remaining well connected to day-to-day amenities and coastal hotspots.

FAQs

• How much are the purchase costs?
  For resale property in Andalucía, allow roughly 10% (7% ITP plus around 3% legal, notary and registry fees). On a price of €3,450,000 this means allowing about €345,000, giving an indicative total budget of around €3.8m. We’ll confirm exact figures once a purchase price is agreed.
• Is holiday letting allowed?
  Holiday letting typically depends on community rules and a municipal tourist licence for short-term stays. We’ll confirm the current position for El Madroñal and this villa before you proceed.
• What parking is included?
  The property includes an enclosed garage/pool house together with a generous gated courtyard and driveway parking, providing space for multiple vehicles. We’ll verify exact capacities and access during enquiry.
• How is the home heated and cooled?
  The villa benefits from zoned underfloor heating and full air-conditioning with heating and cooling functions, helping to maintain comfortable temperatures throughout the year.
• Is there scope to add more amenities?
  Yes. The large basement level lends itself well to a gym, cinema or games room, wine cellar or a combination of uses. We can discuss potential layouts and any permissions required.
