Single-level cortijo-style villa with sea views and infinity jacuzzi in El Madroñal, Benahavís

A haven above the charming Andalusian village of Benahavís, 400 metres above sea level and surrounded by the Sierra de las Nieves and lush greenery. In an exclusive gated community, this splendid villa, inspired by traditional Spanish cortijos, is nestled in a forest of pine and cork trees. With brilliant white lime walls and red-tiled roofs, it offers incredible sea views and the feeling of being immersed in nature, just 20 minutes from Marbella. On a single floor, it combines a cosy home atmosphere with immense windows that blend the interior with its surroundings. The vast living and dining area is integrated with a fully fitted kitchen, where a spacious countertop becomes a central gathering point. The living room and kitchen open onto a large terrace that runs along the rear of the property, with a large pool, an infinity jacuzzi, a barbecue area and a shaded area for the hottest hours. There are four bedrooms, three of them en suite, plus one additional bathroom, all with underfloor heating. Warmth comes from carefully chosen materials: white walls, terracotta floors, wooden details and artworks, with room for many guests, even in winter by the fireplace in the living room. Parking for three cars and top-quality finishes complete the villa, which is sold fully furnished. The area suits hiking, horse riding and bird watching, close to natural parks and reserves. The nearby urbanisation offers golf membership, non-residents welcome, to two 18-hole courses with sea and mountain views. Benahavís is known as the Dining Room of the Costa del Sol, San Pedro Alcántara is 8 km away for shops, schools and supermarkets, and Puerto Banús is a few minutes further. Areas: 244 m² built, 389 m² of terraces, 1,666 m² plot. 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
