A flat west-facing plot with two living rooms and an upper main suite

Glimpses of the Mediterranean and established gardens frame the outlook from the upper terrace. This 3 bedroom detached villa with golf views and private pool in Benahavís sits five minutes by car from the beach. It is a resale house that pairs Andalusian courtyard architecture with renovated systems, giving a buyer 235 square metres of built area where the practical layout and energy hardware are already in place.

Plot, courtyard and west-facing grounds

An entrance courtyard marks the way into the house, separating the driveway from the front door. Outside, the 812 square metre plot is both flat and west-facing, two qualities that rarely meet on the hillside terrain of Benahavís. A level lawn is straightforward to use and maintain without retaining walls or steep steps, while the western orientation holds the afternoon sun around the private pool, Jacuzzi and barbecue zone until late in the day. Private outdoor parking on the plot takes two vehicles.

Two living rooms and a split bedroom layout

Inside, the ground floor and upper level divide the sleeping quarters cleanly. Rather than a single open-plan room, the house has two separate living rooms that both open directly onto the terraces, so two people or two generations can use the ground floor at the same time without sharing one screen or conversation. The fitted kitchen has an adjoining office area, keeping desk work out of the bedrooms. Two ground floor bedrooms share a bathroom, while the entire upper level belongs to the main bedroom suite. That upper suite includes a dressing area, a renovated bathroom and its own terrace with partial sea views. While the written description notes three bathrooms, the formal property record lists two bathrooms in total, a point to confirm during a viewing.

Solar power, heating and storage

Andalusian houses can be cool in winter, which is addressed here by a fireplace, air conditioning and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Running costs for heating water and powering the air conditioning and pool equipment are offset by both solar panels and a photovoltaic system. A large storage and laundry room handles the bulky equipment that otherwise clutters a garage, and an alarm system is fitted. When viewing this 3 bedroom detached villa with golf views and private pool in Benahavís, check the kilowatt capacity of the photovoltaic inverter and verify how the bathrooms are recorded on the title deed.
