Detached Villa in La Quinta

Villa for Sale in El Herrojo Alto: A Prime Architectural Estate in the Heart of La Quinta, Benahavis

Located at one of the most coveted addresses within the Marbella Golden Triangle, this estate represents a rare opportunity to acquire a signature Miguel Tobal villa in the ultra-exclusive gated community of El Herrojo Alto. Known for its 24-hour guard-gated security and elevated topography, this location offers a level of privacy and prestige that is increasingly scarce on the Costa del Sol.

The Location: Benahavís Prestige
El Herrojo Alto is a sanctuary for those who demand discretion without sacrificing proximity. Situated within the municipality of Benahavís: one of Spain’s wealthiest and most secure districts, the property benefits from low municipal taxes and world-class infrastructure. Residents are seconds away from the fairways of La Quinta Golf, ten minutes from the luxury boutiques of Puerto Banús, and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Andalusian hills.

Space, Scale, and Distribution:
The property boasts a total built area of 690 m² , meticulously distributed to maximize both functionality and the dramatic Mediterranean views. The footprint is allocated as follows:

Main Living & Private Quarters: of expansive interiors plus basement

Swimming Pool: a 52 m² private infinity pool that merges with the horizon.

Terraces: 69 m² of outdoor living space designed for year-round entertaining.

Parking and utility room: Secure, gated parking integrated into the entrance level.

The Garden Level: Unrivaled Expansiveness

The standout feature of this villa is the exceptionally large garden level. Unlike many hillside properties, this floor offers vast, open-plan spaces that flow directly onto the manicured lawn and pool deck. This level serves as the social heart of the home, featuring:

An oversized open-concept kitchen and dining area.

Large-scale floor-to-ceiling glazing that erases the boundary between the interior and the Mediterranean landscape.

A dedicated BBQ and al fresco dining zone designed for large gatherings.

Investment Potential & Personalization:
For the discerning investor, El Herrojo Alto is more than a home; it is a high-value asset with significant appreciation potential. While the Miguel Tobal architecture provides a timeless and structurally superior foundation, the property offers a unique opportunity to personalize the finishes and interior aesthetics.

By updating the interior to 2026 ultra-luxury standards, a buyer can unlock substantial equity. In an area where demand for modernized villas in secure communities consistently outstrips supply, this property stands as a high-potential project in a “recession-proof” location.

Detached Villa

This incredible project is set on a 11.178 sqm plot with absolutely breathtaking views. It’s a truly unique opportunity, sold with plans and an active building license for a stunning 2.443 sqm villa with 1.998 interior space.

The inspiration for the design was the plot’s breathtaking location in a valley flanked by steep hills on either side, with uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean sea. The villa is built into the hill side, as if it almost becomes part of the environment, rather than just sitting on top of it. All the windows disappear into the walls, whereby nature is brought into the living spaces using water features, living walls, and natural materials. The design is inspired by the natural vegetation and used colors and materials that perfectly matched the decor of the villa. The valley is home to a wealth of naturally occurring dark stone, which has been incorporated into many of the wall finishes. This is a home that is truly integrated with its natural surroundings—it’s absolutely amazing!

The finished villa will be distributed over three floors, with eight bedrooms (of which three are private suites with their own living and kitchen areas), 13 bathrooms (eight of which are part of ensuite, and two outdoor with outdoor showers), an outdoor pool and jacuzzi, an indoor pool and jacuzzi, a sauna, steam room, salon and medi-spa, and a gym! And there’s still more! A bowling alley, cinema, beverage cellar, game room, library, chef’s kitchen, show kitchen, living room, dining room, informal dining room, two English patios, a six-car garage, a three-car carport, a dedicated laundry room, a machine room, and a smart home equipped with audio throughout indoor/outdoor spaces! Plus, photovoltaic-powered water heating, underfloor heating, a rain catch system for irrigation, water recycling, and so much more!

Further renders and plans are available upon request.
