South-east light, a private garden and open views to La Concha

Direct access to a private garden with open views towards La Concha sets this home apart from upper-floor flats in the same hills. This 3 bedroom ground floor apartment in Altos de La Quinta, Benahavís faces south-east, bringing morning and midday sun into the main rooms and across the grass. It is a resale property with 152 m² of built area and an additional 40 m² of terrace, giving it the footprint of a small house without the upkeep of a standalone plot.

A separate kitchen and three bedrooms with green outlooks

The layout keeps the cooking area distinct from the main sitting room. While many modern flats put the hob along one wall of the lounge, the separate kitchen here means cooking smells and noise stay behind a door, leaving the living area clear. The living room opens directly out to the terrace and the private garden beyond. Two of the bedrooms sit at the front of the home and look straight onto the garden and its boundary greenery. The third bedroom is placed at the rear with its own quiet, leafy outlook, which suits a home office or a guest room away from the main terrace. Two bathrooms serve the three bedrooms.

The terrace, the garden and what the community includes

Outdoor space splits between the 40 m² terrace and the lawned private garden that continues from it. Because the orientation is south-east, the terrace takes the early light and avoids the harshest late-afternoon heat in summer, while keeping the outline of La Concha in plain view. Residents share a communal swimming pool and established, maintained grounds. A private parking space is included with the property, and there is straightforward guest parking nearby for visitors. Crucially for owners who do not live in Spain all year, short-term rentals are allowed within the community rules.

Daily errands around Los Halcones and what to check on a viewing

Living in this 3 bedroom ground floor apartment in Altos de La Quinta, Benahavís means hills and greenery rather than beachfront pavements, yet everyday errands do not require a trip down to the coast road. The Los Halcones commercial centre is close by and has a supermarket, a pharmacy, cafés and restaurants that open daily. When viewing, a buyer should check how the two bathrooms are arranged between the front and rear bedrooms, and stand in the garden to note where the shade falls in the late afternoon. It is also worth walking the route from the allocated parking space to the front door with shopping bags in mind.
