Private garden space with southwest sun and sea views

A large private garden with sea views and room to extend sets this home apart from standard flats in the hills. This 2 bedroom ground floor apartment in Altos de Almendros, Benahavís combines 130 m² of built area with direct access to its own plot, giving the practical footprint of a small house without the upkeep of a standalone villa.

The 18 m² terrace and private garden

Stepping out from the main rooms brings you onto an 18 m² southwest-facing terrace that looks out over the gardens toward the sea. Because the orientation is southwest, the outdoor areas take the afternoon and evening sun rather than just the morning light, which matters particularly in the winter months. Beyond the paved terrace sits the private garden, which is large enough to divide into separate seating and dining zones or to take a barbecue. The plot also holds the physical capacity to extend the built footprint by adding another room, though any buyer considering this route will need to verify town hall planning permissions and obtain approval from the community of owners before starting work.

Inside the 130 m² built area

A 130 m² built figure for a two-bedroom property is generous by local standards, where many two-bedroom flats sit closer to 90 m². That extra volume goes into the main living areas and room proportions rather than extra bedrooms. The layout integrates the equipped kitchen with the living spaces, keeping the cooking and sitting areas open to one another and drawing light back from the southwest glazing. Two bathrooms serve the two bedrooms, meaning guests do not need to use the main bathroom. The property is sold fully furnished and equipped, which removes the wait and expense of kitting out a second home from scratch, though buyers should check the inventory list during a viewing to confirm exactly which pieces remain.

What the gated community and garage include

This 2 bedroom ground floor apartment in Altos de Almendros, Benahavís forms part of a gated community located near golf courses and open nature. Residents share a communal swimming pool and maintained communal gardens, giving the option of a full-sized pool without the responsibility of private pool maintenance. Having both a private garden and communal grounds means you have your own private patch while the wider surroundings remain green and managed by the community quota. Downstairs, the property includes a private garage space and a storage room. Dedicated storage is a practical detail that prevents bikes, golf clubs and beach gear from taking over the second bedroom.
