Interior Layout
The villa is arranged over three floors and offers notably generous room sizes throughout. At the centre of the home is a bright living area, with large openings connecting the interior directly with the terraces and outdoor spaces.
Accommodation includes five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a separate guest toilet. Fitted wardrobes provide useful storage, while the overall 549 m² of internal floor space gives the property considerable flexibility for family living, guests and entertaining.
A private gym adds a dedicated wellness space within the home, while garage parking provides secure off-street accommodation for vehicles.
The villa is in good, habitable condition. However, its existing interiors also offer an opportunity for cosmetic modernisation, allowing a future owner to introduce a more contemporary design without losing the scale and established character of the property.
Terrace & Views at this Villa for sale in El Paraiso Alto Benahavis
The living areas open towards a series of terraces and the private garden, creating a natural connection between the house and its substantial 2,431 m² plot. These outdoor areas provide space for dining, relaxing and entertaining around the villa.
A private swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the garden and gives the property the outdoor lifestyle expected from a detached Costa del Sol villa. Mature private grounds also create useful separation from neighbouring homes.
The plot size provides considerable scope to rethink landscaping, terraces and leisure areas as part of any future cosmetic refurbishment, while retaining the established pool and garden setting.
Community & Location
The villa is positioned in El Paraiso Alto on the Benahavis side of this established residential area. Its location combines a peaceful villa setting with convenient access to golf courses, beaches, shops and other everyday amenities.
Golf is an important part of the surrounding lifestyle, with several established courses in the wider El Paraiso, Atalaya and Benahavis area. Meanwhile, the coast and New Golden Mile are easily accessible for beaches, restaurants and leisure facilities.
Estepona is approximately 10 minutes away by car and Marbella around 15 minutes, giving the property a useful position between the two principal coastal centres. This balance of space, privacy and connectivity is especially attractive for buyers who want a substantial detached home without being isolated from the coast.

FAQs
- How much are the total purchase costs?
For a resale property in Andalucía, allow around 10% on top of the purchase price, including 7% ITP and approximately 3% in legal, notary and registration costs. On €2,850,000, this gives approximately €285,000 in purchase costs and a total estimated budget of €3,135,000. At recent ECB reference exchange rates, the estimated total budget is approximately £2,676,000 or $3,542,000. We’ll confirm exact figures when making an offer. - Does the villa need renovating?
The villa is currently habitable and presented in good condition. However, cosmetic refurbishment would provide an opportunity to modernise the interiors and make fuller use of the property's scale and existing layout. - Does the property have a private pool and garden?
Yes. The villa stands on a 2,431 m² private plot with its own garden and swimming pool, providing extensive outdoor space around the house. - Does the villa have garage parking?
Yes. Garage parking is included, together with a private gym and fitted storage within the property. - Does the property have solar energy systems?
Yes. Photovoltaic solar panels and solar water heating are installed. The current EPC figures should still be confirmed as part of the legal documentation before purchase.
