Andalucia, Malaga, Benahavis, Spain

Set within the peaceful surroundings of Monte Mayor in Benahavís, this traditional Mediterranean villa enjoys a south-west-facing position with open views across the mountains, countryside and Mediterranean Sea. Set on a generous plot of 3,950 m², the property offers privacy, mature outdoor spaces and a relaxed atmosphere, with architecture and interiors that reflect the character of a classic Mediterranean home.

With approximately 700 m² of built space, six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the villa offers generous accommodation across its different levels. The interiors combine traditional materials with practical modern comforts, creating a welcoming setting for family life, entertaining and longer stays on the Costa del Sol.

The kitchen forms a natural gathering point within the home, with a Mediterranean-inspired design and sea views providing a striking backdrop for everyday meals. The living room features a working fireplace and French doors that open onto the terrace and landscaped gardens. This connection between the interior and exterior creates an inviting space for relaxed afternoons, outdoor dining and evenings spent with family and friends.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers a more private retreat, with high ceilings and a balcony overlooking the sea. Its south-west orientation provides views of the surrounding landscape and the sunsets that make this hillside setting particularly appealing.

The lower level adds a further dimension to the property, with a dedicated snooker room suited to relaxed evenings and entertaining. Additional space offers the possibility of creating a gym and sauna, while preliminary work has been completed for a home cinema, allowing future owners to develop the leisure facilities according to their preferences.

Outside, the private swimming pool sits within the landscaped garden, with covered terraces providing sheltered areas to enjoy the views throughout the day. The substantial plot offers a sense of space and separation from the surrounding properties, while the countryside and nearby forest contribute to the tranquil atmosphere.

Practical features include air conditioning, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, fitted wardrobes, double glazing, a utility room, a private alarm system and covered parking. Wood and marble flooring add character to the interiors, complementing the villa’s traditional style.

Monte Mayor offers a quieter residential setting surrounded by the natural landscape of Benahavís, while the wider amenities, beaches, golf courses and restaurants of the Costa del Sol remain accessible by car.

Combining generous proportions, panoramic views and scope to personalise the leisure spaces, this villa offers an opportunity to enjoy traditional Mediterranean living in a private hillside environment.
