A corner apartment on the edge of the village

A 34-square-metre covered terrace faces trees, greenery and the surrounding hills rather than the street or an opposing block. This 3 bedroom ground floor apartment with garden in Benahavís sits on the corner of its building in Benahavís Pueblo, giving the outdoor space one fewer immediate neighbour and a wider outlook towards the natural landscape.

The terrace and what the community includes

Because the patio is covered, it works as an outdoor room that keeps the sun off at midday and stays dry when the weather turns. Thirty-four square metres is enough floor area to hold both a full dining table and separate seating. The property includes a communal pool and garden. Underneath the building, the apartment has an underground garage space and a storage room, with a lift running from the basement up to the residential floors so heavy shopping or luggage never has to go up steps.

Inside the 133-square-metre built area

The 133 square metres of built area divide into three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Across a footprint of this size, three bedrooms mean the rooms are properly proportioned rather than squeezed in, though a buyer during a viewing should check the exact storage in each bedroom and how the two bathrooms are assigned. Being a corner unit usually brings daylight from two sides instead of one, which matters on a ground floor where the overhead cover of a deep patio can otherwise dim the main room. The property is sold fully furnished in a Mediterranean-Scandi style, and because tourist rentals are allowed in the building, those furniture items save several weeks of setup whether the buyer moves straight in or lets the flat to visitors.

Daily life in Benahavís Pueblo

Living in the village itself is different from buying on one of the golf urbanisations further down the municipal road. Here, shops, cafés, restaurants and schools are on the surrounding streets, so daily errands do not start in the underground garage. Children's playgrounds, the Parque Canino dog park, sports facilities and golf practice are all within walking distance, and the canyon walking routes begin at the edge of the settlement. When you want the coast, the beach is about 15 minutes away. A buyer considering a 3 bedroom ground floor apartment with garden in Benahavís should walk the immediate street at meal times to see how busy the nearby restaurants get, and check the exact rules of the community regarding holiday lets.
