Mountainside house with detached-scale floor area

A 362 m² built area puts this property in the size bracket of a detached villa rather than a standard row house. This 3 bedroom townhouse in Benahavís sits in an elevated mountainside position within a gated community, giving it open sightlines across the country, mountains, gardens and down to the sea.

Rooms, basement and everyday storage

Three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an additional guest toilet serve the main accommodation, which means visitors do not need to use the bedroom bathrooms. The living and dining rooms combine marble and parquet flooring, and the kitchen comes fully fitted and equipped alongside a separate laundry room. A basement and dedicated storage room take the bulk out of the living areas, backed up by fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. For a full-time resident, having both a basement and a private garage means suitcases, tools and sports gear stay out of sight.

Private garden, terraces and the wider views

Outdoor space is split between a private garden and a mix of covered and uncovered terraces. Having both sheltered and open terrace areas allows you to follow or avoid the sun through the day without retreating indoors. Because the house stands on a mountainside slope, the outlook is wide and panoramic, taking in sea, mountain and country views as well as the surrounding gardens. Residents also have access to a communal swimming pool, so the upkeep of the water is shared across the community while the garden remains your own private ground.

Heating, security and community setup

Unlike older coastal houses built only for summer, this 3 bedroom townhouse in Benahavís has underfloor heating throughout alongside air conditioning, double glazing and solar panels. Winter evenings in the hills are cool, and whole-house underfloor heating changes how the marble floors feel from November to March. The security specification is thorough for a lock-up-and-leave owner: a gated community with a security entrance, an alarm system, electric blinds and security shutters. From the community, you are within reach of golf courses, shops, schools, restaurants, the town centre, the port and the beach.
