Nido de los Halcones - 4 bedroom home in Monte Halcones, Benahavis

Set in Nido de los Halcones, in the hills of Monte Halcones, Benahavis, this four bedroom home has just come through a complete, top-to-bottom refurbishment and looks out over the Benahavis valley to the Mediterranean, with the Rock of Gibraltar on the horizon on a clear day. The living space is open plan and generous: a lounge that opens straight onto the terrace, a dining area, and an island kitchen finished in book-matched marble with integrated appliances. Off the kitchen, behind glass, sits a backlit wine cellar with an oval window - the kind of detail that tells you how carefully this refurbishment was done. French-herringbone oak parquet runs through the living areas; one corridor is papered in a dark botanical print and hung with art. The terrace is the reason to buy it. Deep and covered, framed by terracotta columns under a beamed pergola, with a fully fitted outdoor kitchen and barbecue, room for a long dining table and a lounge, and an uninterrupted view over the valley to the sea. There are four bedrooms. The principal suite has its own terrace access, a dressing area behind smoked glass and a freestanding oval bath set within the room, alongside a travertine bathroom with a double vanity and a walk-in rain shower. The three further bedrooms are carpeted and fitted with bespoke wardrobes; one has its own ensuite and a window onto a juliet balcony. Three bathrooms in total, all finished in travertine. Air conditioning throughout, a separate laundry room, and bespoke carpentry in every room. Los Arqueros, La Quinta and Las Brisas golf courses are minutes away; Puerto Banus and the beaches of Marbella are a ten minute drive.
