This detached villa is situated in Benahavís, a mountain municipality in the province of Málaga positioned between Marbella, Estepona and Ronda, roughly seven kilometres from the coast. The property stands on a frontline golf setting within a gated residential environment on an elevated plot, with views across the golf course toward La Concha mountain. The house offers 492 m² of living space on a 1,259 m² plot, with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms arranged over two levels connected by a glass passenger lift. Originally completed in 1970 and recently renovated, the property is available fully furnished at €6,195,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa lies inland within Benahavís, at approximately 204 metres above sea level, in a quiet rural setting surrounded by golf courses and mountain scenery. The nearest beaches, Playa del Saladillo and Playa Isdabe, sit between 6.6 and 6.7 kilometres away. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 48 kilometres by road. A car is necessary for daily travel; public transport is limited to one line with a single stop in the municipality.
The property functions as a large family residence or seasonal home for buyers prioritising space, privacy and golf-course proximity. Five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a gymnasium with retractable glass roof, a private salt-heated pool, outdoor kitchen and garage with EV charging cover a full range of domestic needs. All principal living areas are arranged on a single level, and the internal lift provides accessibility between floors.
This is not a new-build development. The villa was originally completed in 1970 and has since undergone a full renovation, with the construction status recorded as complete and ready for immediate occupation. The renovation included installation of a glass passenger lift, underfloor heating, inverter air conditioning and updated kitchen and bathroom fittings. No further construction phases or delivery dates apply.
The property does not offer direct beach access, walkable coastal amenities or meaningful public transport; daily mobility depends entirely on private vehicles. It is not located within an urban centre, so shops, schools and healthcare require short drives. The east orientation means main terraces receive morning rather than afternoon sun. There is no mention of solar panels or an energy performance certificate in the available data.

This property fits buyers seeking an established, renovated villa rather than a new-build or off-plan purchase, particularly those who want immediate availability without construction lead times. It suits households that need five bedrooms and single-level living for principal rooms, whether for multi-generational use, regular guests or full-time residence. Golf players benefit from the frontline position, with La Zagaleta, La Quinta and Tramores courses within two to five kilometres. The lift and accessible layout are relevant for buyers planning for long-term occupancy or reduced mobility. It also matches buyers who value privacy and a gated setting over walkable urban amenities, and who accept car dependence for shopping, schools and healthcare. Households relying on international schools should note The International School of Estepona is approximately six kilometres away. It is less suited to buyers wanting direct beach access, evening walkability to coastal promenades, or proximity to public transport. Frequent travellers may weigh the roughly 48-kilometre drive to Málaga airport or about 50 kilometres to Gibraltar. Seasonal users wanting a furnished turnkey property will find the fully furnished delivery and heated pool aligned with that use case; investors focused on rental yield should note that no rental licence or yield data is provided in the available documentation.
The renovation programme addressed both technical systems and finishes. Flooring combines oak and porcelain throughout, and climate control operates on two systems: inverter air conditioning for cooling and underfloor heating for winter months, allowing year-round occupation. The kitchen is bespoke, with premium appliances, natural wood cabinetry and a secondary preparation space, connected to a formal dining area. The master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower; guest bedrooms carry custom wardrobes. Both levels are connected by a glass passenger lift, which adds accessibility and convenience within the two-level layout. Outdoor technical features include a salt-water pool with heating, electric awnings on shaded terraces and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with barbecue. The gymnasium has a retractable glass roof, allowing it to function as an open or enclosed space depending on the season. The garage includes EV charging, with a public charging point also recorded 277 metres away. The property is delivered fully furnished. No energy performance certificate or rating appears in the available data, and the 1970 origin of the structure means the renovation quality of core elements such as insulation and glazing should be verified through technical survey before purchase.
The property is offered at €6,195,000 as a completed, fully furnished residence. Within Benahavís, comparable listings include Gate 3 Villa from approximately €5,195,000, Sky Marbella Villas from €6,495,000 and Vista Lago Residences from €6,995,000, placing this villa in the middle of the current high-end segment for the municipality. The price reflects a renovated, move-in-ready condition rather than off-plan or construction-phase pricing, so there is no staged payment structure. Buyers should account for purchase costs, community fees within the gated estate and annual property taxes (IBI) in addition to the asking price.
Daily life at this villa is organised around a single-level living floor where kitchen, two lounges, dining area, bedrooms, gym and pool terraces connect without stairs. The east orientation places morning light on the terraces, with the day's warmth shifting to shaded lounge areas equipped with electric awnings by mid-afternoon. The salt-heated pool extends use beyond the summer months, and the outdoor kitchen with barbecue supports extended periods of outdoor living from spring through autumn. The immediate surroundings are defined by the golf course and the silhouette of La Concha mountain, with the gated community providing controlled access and security infrastructure. Benahavís village, known for its concentration of restaurants, is a short drive away, and the analysis data records fourteen restaurants, four cafés, one pharmacy and three banks within a two-kilometre radius. A supermarket sits 3.7 kilometres from the property and a hospital 6.5 kilometres. The rhythm here is residential and quiet rather than urban: mornings on the terrace, golf or walks on nearby trails such as the route to Mirador del Tajo del Novio, and evenings indoors or at the outdoor kitchen. Winters remain usable thanks to underfloor heating and inverter air conditioning, and the regional climate, an average of 12 to 26°C and around 3,846 hours of sunshine per year, supports year-round occupation for those who want it.
Benahavís is a mountain municipality of roughly 9,500 inhabitants covering 145 km², positioned inland between Marbella (14 km), Estepona and Ronda. The setting is rural and quiet, defined by golf courses, mountain trails and views toward La Concha. Daily errands require a car: the nearest supermarket is 3.7 kilometres away, a pharmacy 707 metres, and hospital facilities 6.5 kilometres. Within two kilometres, the data records fourteen restaurants, four cafés, one school and three banks, reflecting the village's reputation as a dining destination rather than a commercial hub. Recreational infrastructure is concentrated on golf, La Zagaleta, El Higueral and Marbella Club Golf Resort all lie within three kilometres, plus municipal sports facilities including a sports hall, gym and pools under a kilometre away. Public transport consists of one line with a single stop, so residents drive for nearly all mobility. The climate averages 18.1°C annually, supporting outdoor use across most of the year, though the swimming season with sea temperatures above 20°C runs about four months.

Within Benahavís, the villa competes directly with a small group of high-value listings. Gate 3 Villa is marketed from approximately €5,195,000, Sky Marbella Villas from €6,495,000 and Vista Lago Residences from €6,995,000. At €6,195,000, this property sits in the middle of that band, and its distinguishing factor is condition and availability: it is a completed, furnished, recently renovated resale rather than a new-build or off-plan residence. Buyers comparing options weigh that immediacy against the specifications of new construction, where newer projects may carry current energy certificates, modern insulation standards and staged payment structures that this 1970-origin property does not offer without verification. Relative to the wider western Costa del Sol, Benahavís occupies a distinct inland-golf niche: quieter, greener and more elevated than beachfront Marbella or Estepona, at the cost of car dependence and a ten-to-fifteen-minute drive to the coast. The municipality recorded around 800 property transactions, a volume consistent with a low-density, high-value market where supply is limited by terrain and land protection rather than demand. For buyers moving between the Costa del Sol's sub-markets, the practical comparison is between Benahavís villas such as this one, golf-frontage, gated security, mountain views, and coastal equivalents in Nueva Andalucía or Estepona at similar prices, where sea proximity substitutes for space and privacy.
