Contemporary 3 Bedroom Villa For Sale in Monte Mayor Benahavis

Interior Layout

Villa M5 has been conceived as a two-level contemporary home that works with the natural contours of its Monte Mayor hillside plot. Strong horizontal architectural lines, extensive glazing and high ceilings maximise the sense of space while keeping the surrounding landscape constantly in view.

The 3-bedroom configuration provides 378.53 m² of built space and 321.75 m² of useful interior area. Full-height windows bring natural light deep into the home, while the open-plan kitchen and principal living spaces create a clean, sociable layout suited to both everyday life and entertaining.

The specification includes a fully fitted kitchen, fitted bathrooms, underfloor heating and an internal lift connecting the levels. Additional features listed for the project include a gym, storage and utility areas, while the interior specification can be adapted to the buyer's preferences during the appropriate stage of the build.

Material choices continue the contemporary architectural language. The developer's specification includes energy-efficient glazing, recessed window systems and minimalist concealed doors and skirtings. Moreover, the energy strategy incorporates insulation, heat-pump technology and photovoltaic panels, with the project designed to achieve an A energy rating.

For buyers comparing the two M5 choices, this 3-bedroom version gives greater priority to outdoor space. The alternative 4-bedroom configuration increases the built area to 400.46 m² and useful area to 340 m², while reducing the terrace allocation to 233.10 m² and increasing the price to €3,625,000.

Terraces and Views at this Villa for sale in Monte Mayor Benahavis

Outdoor living is a defining feature of the 3-bedroom configuration, with 351.78 m² of terrace space surrounding the contemporary home. This is substantially more terrace space than the 233.10 m² provided with the 4-bedroom version.

The elevated plot acts as a natural viewpoint across the surrounding mountains and coastline. From the principal living and outdoor areas, the outlook extends across the Mediterranean towards Gibraltar and, in clear conditions, the North African coast.

A heated private swimming pool forms the focal point of the main outdoor living area, accompanied by landscaped gardens and covered terraces. The result is a series of outdoor spaces designed for dining, relaxing and enjoying the changing light across the valley and coastline.

Meanwhile, the villa's relationship with the hillside is central to its architectural character. Rather than imposing a conventional flat-site design, the contemporary volumes sit within the natural landscape and use the elevation to preserve the panoramic outlook.

Community and Location of this Villa for sale in Monte Mayor Benahavis

Monte Mayor is a gated hillside community defined by dramatic natural scenery, privacy and low-density residential development. The villa occupies a substantial 2,775 m² plot within this protected-feeling environment, surrounded by mountains and Mediterranean vegetation.

Security includes 24-hour control within the community together with surveillance cameras. In addition, the villa specification includes its own alarm and security provisions, creating several layers of protection for a permanent residence or second home.

Despite its secluded atmosphere, the project brochure places Marbella and Puerto Banús at approximately a 15-minute drive. Beaches, golf, shopping and dining are therefore accessible without sacrificing the quieter setting that distinguishes Monte Mayor.

The project is offered as a turnkey build. The developer advises that construction will commence once the villa is sold, with an anticipated construction period of approximately 18 months.

FAQs

• How much are the total purchase costs?
  For a new-build property in Andalucía, allow approximately 13% on top of the purchase price as a broad guide, covering IVA, AJD and associated purchase fees. On €2,875,000, this represents approximately €373,750 and an estimated total budget of €3,248,750, around £2.78 million or $3.76 million at current exchange rates. The developer's staged payment schedule treats the land and construction components separately for IVA purposes, so the exact tax calculation should be confirmed with your solicitor. We’ll confirm exact figures when making an offer.
• What is the difference between the 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom options?
  The 3-bedroom Option B costs €2,875,000 and provides 378.53 m² built, 321.75 m² useful and 351.78 m² of terraces. The 4-bedroom Option A costs €3,625,000 and provides 400.46 m² built, 340 m² useful and 233.10 m² of terraces. Both are planned on the same 2,775 m² plot.
• What are the payment terms for the 3-bedroom villa?
  The current Option B schedule lists a €400,000 land component plus 21% IVA, followed by a €25,000 deposit plus 10% IVA and a €245,000 payment 30 days after the deposit plus 10% IVA. The remaining €2,205,000 construction amount is scheduled through monthly payments and carries 10% IVA. Payment terms should be reconfirmed before reservation.
• How long will construction take?
  The stated construction period is approximately 18 months. The developer advises that construction will begin once the project is sold, so completion timing runs from the commencement of the contracted build rather than from an existing construction start date.
• Can the interior specification be customised?
  Yes. The project is being sold before construction begins and the developer states that the interior can be adapted to the client's preferences. Final choices will depend on the stage of the project, technical feasibility and the agreed construction specification.
