Detached Villa in BenahavísThis cortijo-style villa was designed by a Dutch architect for his own family, combining traditional Spanish elements with a clean, modern layout. The main house includes four bedrooms, and there is also a self-contained guest apartment and a large garage. The outdoor areas are a major feature, with thoughtful landscaping creating an elegant and relaxed atmosphere.
Monte Mayor is located in the Benahavís area, just a short drive from the coast and close to Marbella, Puerto Banús, and Estepona. Several golf courses and sports facilities are nearby, including Villa Padierna and Los Flamingos.
The main accommodation is set on one level and enjoys panoramic views towards the Marbella coastline, with Gibraltar, North Africa, and the Atlas Mountains visible on clear days. A traditional courtyard entrance leads into a hallway and on to a large open-plan living space with vaulted ceiling, sitting and dining areas, and French doors opening onto a wraparound terrace with shaded and open-air seating and dining areas. The kitchen is also spacious, with a central island, Silestone worktops, integrated appliances, and additional dining space.
The hallway runs around the central courtyard, which can be opened for natural ventilation. The master bedroom is generously sized, with direct access to the terrace and garden, a walk-in dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom with bath, walk-in shower, and garden access. Two family bedrooms share a bathroom with walk-in shower, and the fourth bedroom has fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite with walk-in shower.
On the lower floor is a large utility room with washing machine, dryer, and solar hot water system. There is also a sizeable storeroom and internal access to the garage, which can accommodate six or more cars.
The independent guest apartment has its own entrance and also connects to the garage. Inside, there is a hallway leading to an open-plan living and dining room with fitted kitchen and access to the garden and pool. The apartment has two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and doors to the garden, sharing a bathroom and separate WC. There is also a large gym or family room and two storage rooms.
Access to the property is via automatic gates and a long driveway with a double carport and turning space. The driveway also leads to the main garage. Near the villa entrance is a large ornamental fish pond, and the traditional Andalusian-style courtyard features an olive tree. The gardens are landscaped for low maintenance, with no grass and various areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings throughout the year. To the rear is the swimming pool with sun terrace and a pergola with sunken seating.
The property has underfloor heating throughout, powered by an efficient heat pump, as well as hot and cold air conditioning, double glazing, high insulation, and a solar water system.
