Elevated views from a small Benahavís development

The Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding hills fill the outlook from the main rooms. This 3 bedroom 3 bathroom middle floor apartment in Benahavís, Benahavís sits on high ground within a quiet residential area between Marbella, Estepona and Benahavís town. Being one of just 21 homes in the development, the building avoids the busy circulation and crowding around shared facilities common to larger coastal complexes. It is a resale property with 150 m² of built area and parking included.

Open-plan rooms and floor-to-ceiling glass

Inside, the layout uses an open-plan main room where the kitchen, dining and sitting areas share a single volume. Floor-to-ceiling windows run along the exterior wall, bringing in steady daylight and keeping the sea and countryside in sight from inside the home. There are three bathrooms for the three bedrooms. Buyers who prefer a closed kitchen or a separate dining room should note that the open arrangement puts all daily living and cooking into one shared space.

The terrace, plot and what the community includes

The apartment comes with a 40 m² private plot alongside its terrace space, giving the middle-floor layout dedicated outdoor room that looks out toward the coast. While ground-floor and penthouse units in the building hold private pools, this middle-floor home relies on the shared facilities, which spares the owner direct maintenance of a private pool plant. Shared facilities on site are unusually broad for a community of twenty-one properties: residents have access to a communal outdoor swimming pool, a heated indoor pool, a gym and a private golf simulator, all set within communal gardens. With only twenty other households sharing the indoor pool and fitness room, getting a lane or a machine rarely requires waiting. On the other hand, running an indoor heated pool and a golf simulator across a small number of owners means the community budget carries permanent mechanical and heating costs, so a buyer should inspect the annual community accounts when viewing.

Position in the Marbella, Benahavís and Estepona triangle

This 3 bedroom 3 bathroom middle floor apartment in Benahavís is placed on rising ground above the coast, separating it from the road noise of the shoreline while keeping Puerto Banús, Marbella, the beaches and the local golf courses within driving reach. Living at this elevation means a car is needed for daily errands, beach trips and dining out, which is the standard trade-off in Benahavís for having panoramic sea and hill views from a quiet residential hillside.
