A 2019 ground floor flat with a glazed terrace and sea views

La Hacienda del Señorío de Cifuentes is a gated residential community in the municipality of Benahavís with 24-hour security and landscaped grounds. This 2 bedroom ground floor apartment in La Hacienda del Señorío de Cifuentes, Benahavís belongs to one of the newer phases of the development, completed in 2019. It looks out across the communal swimming pool towards the sea.

Built area, layout and furnishings

The flat has a built area of 103 square metres divided between two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a combined living and dining room. Having two bathrooms alongside two bedrooms means visitors do not need to share with the main bedroom. The property is sold fully furnished and includes an equipped kitchen, which removes the wait and administrative effort of fitting out an empty resale home from scratch. Parking is also included with the apartment.

The 53-square-metre terrace and what the community includes

Doors from the living and dining area open directly onto a 53-square-metre terrace fitted with glass curtains. Because the terrace is half the size of the built area again, enclosing it with movable glazing changes how the whole flat works: the glass stops the wind in winter while still folding back when the weather is warm. From here, the outlook is open towards the sea and the pool area. Outside the private boundary, the community is gated and staffed by 24-hour security. Residents share landscaped gardens, an on-site gym and several swimming pools, one of which is heated.

What to check when viewing

When inspecting a 2 bedroom ground floor apartment in La Hacienda del Señorío de Cifuentes, Benahavís, it makes sense to test the tracks and seals on the glass curtains to see how smoothly they stack and how well they keep out driving rain. Because the flat faces one of the communal pools, a buyer should also check the distance between the terrace and the water, and how much foot traffic passes in front of the glass during busy weeks. Asking for a full inventory of the furniture included in the sale will also clarify whether everything shown at the viewing remains upon completion.
