Interior Description

Inside, the villa offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with a sense of scale that suits both family life and entertaining. The main living and dining area is huge, with double-height ceilings, a feature fireplace and large windows that frame the surrounding hills. A modern, fully equipped kitchen brings clean lines and contemporary finishes while remaining practical for everyday cooking. Five double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, give every family member or guest a private retreat. An open attic-style office, dedicated cinema and entertainment room, wine cellar, storage areas and a laundry room complete the internal layout, supported by a large basement and a garage for at least three cars.

Outdoor Living & Views

The plot of around 6,950 m² provides ample space for landscaped gardens, lawns and mature planting that blend naturally into the Monte Mayor countryside. Several terraces and covered porches extend the living spaces outdoors, giving options for shaded lounging, sunbathing and al-fresco dining. A generous swimming pool sits at the heart of the garden, accompanied by a barbecue area and covered chill-out porch, ideal for gatherings with friends and family. Moreover, the villa’s orientation offers striking sunset skies and long views across the valley, creating a constant reminder of the surrounding nature and privacy.

Community & Surroundings

Monte ​ Mayor is a secure, low-density estate in the hills above the coast, known for its spacious plots, natural environment and far-reaching views. The location feels wonderfully tranquil, yet Cancelada’s shops, restaurants and services, along with nearby beaches, can be reached in around 15 minutes by car. Golf courses such as Los Flamingos and Marbella Club Golf Resort, as well as the dining options of Benahavis Village, are also within comfortable driving distance. This balance of country serenity and coastal convenience makes the villa a strong choice for nature lovers who still value easy access to amenities.
