El Madroñal

Atop the charming Andalusian village of Benahavís, 400 metres above sea level and surrounded by the Sierra de las Nieves and lush greenery, lies this haven. In an exclusive gated community, this splendid villa, inspired by traditional Spanish cortijos, stands nestled amidst a forest of pine and cork trees. With walls clad in brilliant white lime and red-tiled roofs, this retreat offers incredible sea views and the feeling of being immersed in nature, all just 20 minutes away from Marbella. Spread across a single floor of 255 m², it combines a cosy home atmosphere with immense windows that blend the indoors with the surrounding environment. The vast living and dining area integrates with a fully fitted kitchen, where cooking with a view has never been such a pleasure. The spacious countertop becomes a central gathering point. The living room and kitchen open onto a spacious terrace that extends along the property's rear perimeter. This open-air space is a magnet for unforgettable moments. A large pool and an infinity jacuzzi invite swimming with a view of the Mediterranean. An impressive barbecue area beckons for dinners with loved ones, and a shaded area ensures enjoyment of the outdoors even during the hottest hours. For rest, there are four bedrooms, three en-suites, and one additional bathroom, all heated with underfloor heating, ensuring comfort and privacy. The warmth is achieved through the careful curation of materials: white walls, terracotta floors, wooden details, artworks, and space to accommodate many guests, even in winter by the fireplace that defines the living room. Along with its unique style and design, the villa offers parking for three cars and top-quality finishes. What you see is what becomes part of your new life, as this home is sold fully furnished. Beyond the house, the area is perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, horseback riding, and bird watching, thanks to its proximity to natural parks and reserves. For golf lovers, the nearby urbanisation offers membership (non-residents are welcome) to two stunning 18-hole golf courses with views of the sea and mountains. For food enthusiasts, Benahavís is often referred to as the "Dining Room of the Costa del Sol" due to its abundance of high-quality restaurants and gastronomic delights. A drive of 8 km leads to San Pedro Alcántara, where you'll find a wide range of restaurants, shops, schools, and supermarkets. A few minutes further, you can enjoy elegant shopping or stroll along the Mediterranean in Puerto Banús.
