South-facing views and a rooftop kitchen in Quercus, Real de la Quinta
Real de la Quinta sits in the hills of Benahavís with a private lake for kayaking and paddleboarding, walking trails, and road access to the AP-7 motorway. Within the Quercus phase of this BREEAM-certified development, this 3 bedroom penthouse duplex in Benahavís, Benahavís offers a total built area of 334 m² and faces due south towards the Mediterranean, Gibraltar, and the North African coast.
Open-plan main level and bedroom layout
The layout separates the sleeping quarters from the everyday living areas. On the main level, the lounge, dining space, and kitchen occupy a single open-plan room framed by large windows that look out over the golf course and mountains. The kitchen is fitted with Siemens appliances, while stone finishes and oak wood details run throughout the property in a Scandinavian style. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms serve the home. The main bedroom has direct light, open views, and an en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating. The second and third bedrooms share the remaining bathroom, which is worth noting if you frequently host multiple couples who prefer private facilities.
The terrace, rooftop solarium and what the community includes
Outdoor space totals 194 m² of terrace area split across two levels. The main terrace provides a covered lounge and dining area for shade during the hotter months. Above, the private rooftop solarium is fitted with an outdoor kitchen, a second dining area, and open zones for sunbeds.

Surroundings and what to check when viewing
