A twelve-bedroom hacienda on nearly half a hectare in Vega del Colorado

A 1,058 m² built area sits on a 4,899 m² plot with open mountain views. This 12 bedroom detached villa in Benahavís is a resale property within the gated community of Vega del Colorado, combining Andalusian hacienda architecture with contemporary interiors. Houses of this room count rarely come to the resale market on a single plot of this scale, making it a practical proposition for a very large household, multi-generational occupation, or buyers who travel with domestic staff.

Rooms, kitchen and indoor recreation

Twelve bedrooms and ten bathrooms give almost every sleeping room its own bath or shower, removing the morning bottlenecks that often compromise big family houses. Several lounges and reception rooms divide the footprint so that a large group does not have to share a single television or conversation area. Cooking happens in a fully equipped Provençal-style kitchen built to handle catering for a full house rather than two people. Away from the main sitting rooms, the house includes a dedicated billiard room and a wine cellar, keeping evening entertainment separate from the quieter bedroom wings.

Almost five thousand square metres of grounds

The 4,899 m² plot gives the house genuine separation from its neighbours inside the urbanisation. Outside the main rooms, multiple dining terraces allow meals to follow or avoid the sun through the day. The garden holds a private swimming pool with a sun deck, served directly by a poolside bar and a gazebo, so drinks and shade do not require walking back to the main kitchen. For active use on site, there is a private paddle tennis court within the grounds, along with private parking.

Vega del Colorado and what to verify on a viewing

Buying a 12 bedroom detached villa in Benahavís inside Vega del Colorado places you in a gated residential enclave with road access toward La Quinta Golf, the Marbella Football Academy, Puerto Banús and the coast. When viewing a property of 1,058 m² built, the practical checks matter as much as the rooms: a buyer should verify how the ten bathrooms are distributed across the twelve bedrooms, inspect the surface condition and enclosure of the paddle court, and review the plant equipment running the pool and garden irrigation across a plot of nearly half a hectare.
