Southwest terrace and golf views in Reserva de Alcuzcuz

A 63-square-metre southwest-facing terrace sits at the front of this property, adding more than half the size of the built area again in usable outdoor space. This 3 bedroom ground floor apartment in Jardines Botánicos, Benahavís was built in 2019 within the Reserva de Alcuzcuz area and comes to the resale market with a private underground parking space and a storage room.

The terrace and what it looks onto

At 63 square metres, the outdoor area is deep enough to separate a full dining table from a lounging area without crowding the doors. The southwest orientation means the terrace receives direct sun from early afternoon until sunset, which is useful in winter and requires shade management in August. Because the land drops away towards the valley, this ground floor level still holds panoramic views across the mountains and Los Arqueros Golf Course, as well as the communal gardens below.

Inside the 112 m² built area

The 112 square metres of built area divide into three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a single main room combining the living area, dining space, and a fully fitted open-plan kitchen. An open kitchen keeps the cook in the conversation and brings light to the back of the plan, though it leaves nowhere to shut away cooking noise or dishes. The main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, while the second and third bedrooms share the second bathroom. Marble flooring and independent air conditioning run through the apartment, and both bathrooms have underfloor heating to take the chill off the stone on winter mornings.

What the community includes

Jardines Botánicos is a gated community with 24-hour security, a practical detail for owners who leave the property empty between visits. Residents share two communal swimming pools and a separate children's pool set within landscaped communal gardens. Having a dedicated children's pool keeps the toddler play separate from those swimming lengths. Down in the basement, the private underground parking space and spacious storage room keep a car out of the midday sun and take golf bags, bicycles, and suitcases out of the bedrooms.

Points to check on a viewing

When viewing this 3 bedroom ground floor apartment in Jardines Botánicos, Benahavís, check the direct line of sight between the terrace and the communal paths to see how the garden planting screens the seating area. It is also worth testing how the independent air conditioning zones are divided between the living area and the bedrooms, and checking the route from the underground parking space to the front door if you carry heavy shopping regularly.
