Andalucia, Malaga, Benahavis, Spain

This exceptional villa built on a plot of 1.504m2 is located in the best golf area of La Alqueria, the position and views of this 5 bedroom villa with ensuite bathroom are simply a unique property.

Belonging to the affluent municipality of Benahavís, the surrounding roads and vegetation are very well maintained. Security cars patrolling the area provide peace of mind for residents. Due to the low density of properties, the area is very quiet and yet the A7 highway that runs east-west along the Mediterranean coast is only a 10 minute drive away. A Mercadona supermarket is a 4 minute drive away and the charming culinary village of Benahavís is an 8 minute drive up the hill along the banks of the Guadalmina river. The iconic Spanish restaurant ‘Los Abanicos’ is a must visit, but the village punches above its weight in terms of superior culinary diversity.

The villa is south facing, where a large shaded covered terrace overlooks the beautiful garden and swimming pool, as well as a Frangipani tree and an olive tree that is over 100 years old. Sea views can be enjoyed while sitting and dining al fresco on the terrace as well as from the outdoor living area which is accessed directly from the indoor living room.

The east façade of the villa sits on a large, mature and immaculate sloping garden. An automatic sprinkler irrigation system nurtures the lush vegetation consisting of flowers as well as cacti, palms, frangipani, citrus, mango and avocado trees. The bedrooms and bathrooms overlook this beautiful garden that borders the fairways of the Atalaya golf course in full view, as well as a lake, the mountains and Hole 3.

The villa is very well built and has only had one owner who has resided there since construction was completed and has taken very good care of this family home.

The main entrance leads into the reception area which also has a guest toilet, and beyond is the main open plan living and dining area. Large windows ensure that this area is very bright and cheerful and yet it is also protected from direct sunlight due to the covered terrace by the pool. On the same floor is a spacious kitchen which is very bright and also has direct access to the outside. The kitchen is connected to a laundry and ironing area as well as a covered drying area. On the other side of the living room, across the parquet floor area, are three en suite bedrooms and a dressing room.

Down one flight of stairs there is another bedroom suite as well as a games room and both connect directly to the garden on the east side overlooking the lake and golf course, and from here you can also access the terrace and pool area.

On the upper level, there is another bedroom suite with its own terrace as well as a roof terrace.

The property is also very functional and economical to maintain. Solar panels power all electricity needs, so air conditioning is free of charge, as is hot water, lighting, etc. In the colder winter months, propane powered radiators ensure comfort and warmth. The living room also has a working fireplace.

The property also has a large underground storage room and the indoor garage is generous enough for two large cars. There are also further parking spaces available in the entrance area of the property.

The property is ideal as a permanent family or holiday home. Benahavís and Marbella have good local and international schools from infants to graduation age. Golfers will be spoilt for choice with numerous top class courses from Sotogrande to Mijas and the PG Golf & Sports Academy Trackman Range Atalaya is just 550 metres down the road.
