South-facing middle floor with a sixty-square-metre terrace

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms sit across 120 square metres of built area, paired with an outdoor space that measures half the size of the flat itself. This 2 bedroom middle floor apartment in Hacienda de Señorío de Cifuentes, Atalaya remains in its original condition, which means the current layout and fittings have not been altered since construction. Because the floorplate is generous for a two-bedroom unit, there is physical scope to reconfigure the internal partitions and convert the layout into three bedrooms, subject to community rules and technical inspection.

Original condition and what a buyer should check

Buying a home that needs renovation means you are not paying for someone else's recent taste in tiles or kitchen units, both of which often get ripped out anyway. A buyer viewing this 2 bedroom middle floor apartment in Hacienda de Señorío de Cifuentes, Atalaya can assess the potential to convert the property into three bedrooms. Taking space from the main rooms to add a sleeping area will change how the flat feels, so the trade-off between a larger living area and an extra bedroom needs to be measured on site.

The terrace and the communal grounds

A 60-square-metre terrace facing south is the defining feature of the property, giving enough room for separate dining and lounging zones without crowding the doors. The orientation brings direct sun for most of the day and looks out to panoramic sea views across the Mediterranean coastline. Outside the private boundary, the gated development provides communal gardens, 24-hour security and a heated swimming pool. The community also has a gym scheduled to open, which will add an indoor facility alongside the outdoor pool and grounds.

Parking, storage and the surrounding area

One underground parking space and a private storage room are included with the apartment, keeping vehicles out of the sun and bulky items out of the living quarters. The urbanisation sits in the La Alquería area of Benahavís, immediately next to the Be Lagom development, placing it a short drive from Benahavís village, Marbella, local golf courses and the beach. Furthermore, the community statutes allow short-term rentals, a specific rule that matters for anyone who wants the option to let the property to holidaymakers when not using it themselves.
