Benahavís, Málaga, Andalusia, Spain

Set in an idyllic location overlooking a tranquil lake and framed by mountain scenery, this enchanting Spanish Cortijo embodies the timeless appeal of Andalusian architecture. With its signature central courtyard and over 10,000 m2 of mature gardens, the estate exudes authentic charm, privacy, and a true sense of place.

A welcoming driveway leads to the main entrance, revealing a single-level layout that blends comfort and practicality. The residence offers six bedrooms - five of which open directly onto the courtyard - and a collection of elegant living and dining areas that reflect its traditional character. The rustic kitchen and original finishes retain the home's warm, authentic spirit, while also offering an exciting opportunity for modernisation.

Outside, the serene pool area enjoys captivating views across the lake and surrounding hills, with generous terraces and shaded dining areas ideal for outdoor living. The landscaped gardens, though in need of some care, are filled with potential to be transformed into a truly spectacular setting.

With additional staff accommodation and a rare lakeside position in one of the area's most desirable enclaves, this property represents a unique opportunity to restore and elevate an authentic Andalusian gem into a stunning contemporary estate.

About the area

Benahavis The municipality of Benahavis is situated at the western end of the Costa del Sol, slightly inland and between Estepona and Marbella. Benahavis is one of the richest municipalities in Spain thanks to the large number of high-end developments that surround the village. Golf resorts such as La Quinta and Los Arqueros belong to Benahavis as does La Zagaleta, an exclusive gated estate, home to some of the most expensive properties in Spain. The village might be small, but it's home to lots of restaurants. This together with the high quality of the cuisine has led to Benahavis gaining the reputation as the Gastronomic Corner of the Costa del Sol.
