The villa’s elevated plot takes full advantage of its privileged position within Monte Mayor, offering breathtaking south-facing views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding mountains.

Monte Mayor is a gated community renowned for its harmonious blend of modern luxury and unspoiled natural beauty. The neighborhood is characterized by its spacious plots, lush greenery, and expertly landscaped grounds that exude a sense of peace and exclusivity. Unlike many densely packed urban developments, Monte Mayor offers residents privacy and tranquility while maintaining easy access to essential amenities. The villa’s location ensures you are just a short 15-minute drive from some of the Costa del Sol’s finest attractions, including pristine beaches, high-end shopping destinations, and excellent dining options.

Families will appreciate the proximity to top-rated schools such as Atalaya Colegio Internacional and The British International School of Marbella, both offering exceptional educational opportunities within a short drive. For everyday essentials, nearby towns like Benahavís and Estepona provide supermarkets, pharmacies, and boutique shops, all within easy reach. The area is also well-connected by road, offering convenient access to the coastal highway, making trips to Málaga Airport, Marbella, or Gibraltar both efficient and straightforward.

For leisure and recreation, Monte Mayor’s location is second to none. Golf enthusiasts will find themselves surrounded by some of the region’s most prestigious golf courses, including Marbella Club Golf Resort, Los Flamingos Golf, and El Higueral Golf. The proximity to these exclusive courses makes the area particularly desirable for those seeking an active, outdoor lifestyle. Beyond golf, the region offers excellent hiking and cycling trails that wind through the beautiful Andalusian countryside, allowing residents to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area.

When it comes to dining, the nearby village of Benahavís, often referred to as the “dining room of the Costa del Sol,” is a must-visit. Its charming streets are lined with renowned restaurants such as Restaurante Amanhavis and Los Abanicos, where you can enjoy authentic Andalusian cuisine. For a more vibrant scene, the coastal towns of San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona provide trendy beach bars, fine dining establishments, and a variety of entertainment options.

Monte Mayor’s exclusivity is further highlighted by the style and quality of its properties. Homes in this area typically feature modern architecture with elegant Mediterranean influences, characterized by clean lines, open-plan designs, and large outdoor spaces that take full advantage of the surrounding views. The villa itself will be no exception, offering a unique opportunity to own a turnkey home that perfectly balances luxury living with practicality. Its 26-meter-long pool is a standout feature, enhancing the property’s outdoor living space and providing a stunning setting to relax, swim, or entertain guests.

This property is not just a home but an investment in a lifestyle that combines privacy, natural beauty, and seamless access to all the conveniences of modern living.

Detached Villa

This is the number one house in Benahavís Village — the most iconic and distinctive property in the entire village.

It enjoys an exceptional elevated position at the very top of the village, offering complete privacy, breathtaking views, and a peaceful natural environment. At the same time, it is just a short walk down to the center of Benahavís, with its restaurants, shops, and village amenities.

Properties of this nature rarely come onto the market. Homes in this location are typically held within families for generations.

The property is highly versatile and offers many possible uses:

* Prestigious private residence
* Multi-generational family home
* Rental investment with multiple apartments
* Boutique bed & breakfast
* Wellness retreat (yoga, retreats, events)
* Exclusive venue for small weddings and private gatherings

The house is fully legal, including all existing built areas. It is larger than what current planning regulations would permit today, which adds significant value. While the property cannot be extended in height or footprint, the existing structure can be extensively renovated and reconfigured.

An architect has already prepared a concept showing how the property could be converted into approximately six spacious apartments, although alternative layouts with more smaller units are also possible.

Current Layout and Condition

The property is currently habitable and can be occupied immediately. Renovation can be done gradually while living in the house, or it can be fully redeveloped.

It currently includes:

* One one-bedroom apartment
* Potential to create an additional apartment above the garage

The structure is solid and in functional condition, with:

* No humidity issues
* Fully operational plumbing and electrical systems
* Fiber-optic internet throughout
* Air conditioning and central heating

Energy and Utilities

The property benefits from a substantial solar panel installation that significantly reduces energy costs. There is also a large utility/storage area beneath the installation.

The house can additionally operate on gas if preferred.

Renovation Potential

A full high-end renovation is estimated at approximately €300,000, depending on the final specification and design level.

Additional Urban Plot

The property includes an additional urban plot registered in the cadastral records, offering further development potential and significant added value. There is an existing option-to-purchase arrangement from the previous ownership, which is fully documented and not considered a legal issue.

Legal and Planning Status

* All existing constructions are fully legal
* Properly registered in the cadastral system
* Documentation available
* Building permits can be applied for in accordance with planning regulations

Please note that the property is located on rustic land, so it cannot be licensed as a hotel. However, private accommodation uses such as a boutique B&B are possible.

Security and Surroundings

The property is fully fenced and gated. Benahavís is one of the safest and most exclusive municipalities on the Costa del Sol, known for its high quality of life and strong local infrastructure.

The surrounding area includes:

* La Zagaleta, one of Europe’s most exclusive residential estates
* La Quinta Golf & Country Club
* More than a dozen golf courses
* Several five and six-star luxury hotels

Benahavís is widely recognized ‌for ‌its ‌safety, ‌natural ‌beauty, and ‌luxury lifestyle.

This property ‌represents ‌a rare ‌opportunity ‌to acquire a landmark ‌home ‌in the village with ‌outstanding ‌potential ‌for ‌residential ‌or ‌investment ‌use.
