Interior Description
The main level opens to a grand entrance hall that leads directly into an elegant dining area, which forms the heart of the home. This space connects to a generous living room with several seating zones and a striking marble fireplace that creates a focal point on cooler evenings. A large, fully fitted kitchen with Bosch appliances, granite worktops and a practical pantry sits alongside a guest toilet, ensuring day-to-day convenience for family and visitors. Additionally, a guest wing on this floor offers two double bedrooms that share a luxurious bathroom, ideal for visiting relatives or older children.
Terrace & Views
From the main living areas, wide glass doors open to a covered terrace that frames the gardens, pool and distant sea. Moreover, the property’s south-facing aspect ensures abundant natural light throughout the day, while mature fruit trees and soft garden lighting create atmosphere after sunset. On the upper floor, the master suite and guest bedrooms enjoy private or shared terraces with far-reaching views towards the Mediterranean and, on clear days, Africa. Meanwhile, the pool area and heated whirlpool provide inviting spaces for sunbathing, dining and relaxed entertaining.

FAQs
- How much are the total purchase costs?
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 €2,690,000 this means allowing around €269,000 for taxes and costs, giving a rough total budget in the region of €2,959,000. We’ll confirm exact figures once an offer is agreed. - Is holiday letting allowed?
A tourist licence is already in place for this villa. Holiday letting remains subject to current Benahavis regulations and community rules; we’ll provide the latest details and licence documentation on request. - What parking and storage are included?
The lower level includes a spacious garage with capacity for more than four cars, alongside storage areas and flexible rooms that can be adapted as a gym, spa, cinema or additional accommodation. - How is the villa heated and cooled?
The home offers full air-conditioning, double glazing and electric blinds, with underfloor heating in the bathrooms. This combination supports comfortable year-round living and efficient energy use. - How close are shops, restaurants, schools and the beach?
Local amenities including supermarkets, restaurants, banks and sports facilities are a short drive away in El Paraiso, Benahavis, San Pedro and Estepona. Atalaya International College and other schools are nearby, while beaches and coastal boardwalks can be reached within roughly 10–15 minutes by car.
