This detached villa is located in El Madroñal, a rural neighborhood within Benahavís, Málaga. With a living area of 1,163 m² and a plot size of 4,874 m², the property offers substantial accommodation. The position is inland, situated at 168 meters above sea level, providing views of the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. The residence contains seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The distance to Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 48 kilometers (as the crow flies). A private vehicle is required for daily transportation.
Compared to coastal projects like in Fuengirola or Mijas (e.g., Arosa or Astra Homes), El Madroñal distinguishes itself through plot size and price class. Where Astra Homes starts around €364,000, this project asks nearly €11 million. The comparison is more akin to other exclusive neighborhoods like La Zagaleta. The advantage of El Madroñal over La Zagaleta is its slightly more central location towards San Pedro and Marbella. Compared to the busier apartment supply in Fuengirola (Waterfall Residences), El Madroñal offers absolute anonymity and quiet. The limited amount of public transport and distance to shops are factors to weigh against other, more central projects.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in El Madroñal, part of the municipality of Benahavís. This is a rural, gated community known for its green environment and privacy. The location lies in the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park. The setting is characterized by tranquility and space, with larger plots. For amenities such as supermarkets and dining, one relies on surrounding areas like San Pedro de Alcántara or Benahavís village.
The home is designed for occupants requiring significant internal space and seclusion. With 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, it accommodates large families or scenarios needing extensive guest quarters. The layout spans three levels. Amenities include a private cinema room and wine cellar. The presence of an elevator ensures accessibility across different ages. The garden and swimming pool provide space for outdoor living on private grounds.
This is an existing residence being offered for sale. The condition of the property is described as excellent. The finish includes modern specifications, including air conditioning, underfloor heating, and wooden flooring. Specific elements such as a Turkish bath and heated pool indicate a high level of luxury. There is no construction phase or completion date applicable as with new developments.
The location is inland and hilly. The distance to the beach is over 6 kilometers (as the crow flies), meaning walking to the coast is not a practical option. Public transport is scarce in this immediate area; while regional lines exist, connections are limited. A car is therefore essential for any movement. The environment is quiet and rural, implying that direct amenities like shops are not within walking distance.
This property suits individuals prioritizing privacy and quiet. The secluded setting and gated structure appeal to those valuing discretion, such as public figures or business executives. For large families, the space and layout are practical. People who enjoy entertaining will find facilities in the wine cellar, cinema, and various terraces. Less suitable are those seeking everything within walking distance or preferring a bustling urban vibe. The necessity of a car to leave the property is a constant factor in daily life here.
The villa features various technical and aesthetic amenities indicating high-quality finishing. Materials include wooden flooring. Kitchen and living areas are modern, evidenced by the open plan and kitchen island. Technically, the house is equipped with climate control: air conditioning for heat and underfloor heating for cooler months. The pool is heated, extending the swimming season. Unique details include the elevator, cinema room, and hammam. These elements require specific maintenance and installation knowledge. The construction is adapted to the slope of the land.
The asking price for this villa is set at € 10,800,000. This is the price for the entire property, including the land and luxury finishes. There are no alternative price levels or housing types within this specific project, as it is a unique home. The price reflects the plot size (nearly 5000 m²), living area (over 1100 m²), and location in an exclusive, secure neighborhood. Additional purchase costs, such as taxes and notary fees, are not included.
Living in El Madroñal means residing in a protected, green environment. The day often begins with views of the mountains or the sea, thanks to the southwest orientation. Because the neighborhood is a gated community, there is little through-traffic and the surroundings are silent. Most residents spend their time on their property, utilizing the pool, terraces, and garden. For groceries or dining, one drives to San Pedro (approximately 10-15 minutes) or Benahavís village. The climate allows for outdoor living for most of the year, even in winter due to heating and sun exposure. The area feels more like a retreat than a busy seaside resort.
The immediate environment is characterized by the nature of the Sierra de las Nieves. This implies greenery, hills, and quiet. The village of Benahavís, a few kilometers' drive, is known for its gastronomy. There are various restaurants in the vicinity, though driving is required. Beach facilities are located in San Pedro de Alcántara and Marbella. While the coast is close in kilometers, the neighborhood feels separated from seaside tourism. For recreation, there are golf courses nearby, including La Quinta and La Zagaleta.
The map shows the position of the villa in El Madroñal. Distances to amenities such as the airport, beaches, and golf courses are measured as the crow flies. The nearest amenity on the map is La Quinta golf course at 1.1 kilometers.
El Madroñal is located in the region of Western Costa del Sol, specifically in the municipality of Benahavís. The project lies above the coastal town of San Pedro de Alcántara. In a regional context, this is one of the most exclusive residential areas. It positions itself between the coast (Marbella/Estepona) and the hinterland. This makes it a central point for those wanting access to Marbella's amenities while living in a rural setting.
Accessibility of this project depends on a car. The distance to Málaga Airport is 48 kilometers (as the crow flies), taking about 45 minutes in good traffic. The village of Benahavís is closer, as is San Pedro de Alcántara. For beach visits, it is roughly 6 kilometers to Playa de San Pedro, but due to hilly terrain, the drive often takes longer than 10-15 minutes. Public transport is limited; there is one line in the wider area, but it does not reach the front door.

At 168 meters above sea level, the climate is slightly cooler than the coastline, yet still Mediterranean with an average annual temperature around 18.3°C. There are approximately 3,846 hours of sunshine per year. The position offers shelter from winds common directly on the coast. The mountainous surroundings provide a dynamic landscape. Proximity to the Sierra de las Nieves ensures a green environment for much of the year, unlike the drier coastal regions further east.

Although the project is inland, beaches are accessible by car. The nearest beaches are Playa Canina Ventura del Mar and Playa de San Pedro, both just over 6 kilometers away. For sports enthusiasts, there are various golf courses in the immediate vicinity, such as La Quinta Golf at 1.1 kilometers and La Zagaleta at 2.3 kilometers. The neighborhood itself is not walkably connected to these facilities. For recreation in the immediate area, one relies on the nature of the surrounding mountain areas.
