A renovated detached villa of 967 m² on a 6,037 m² plot in the Benahavís hills, inland from the Costa del Sol coast between Marbella and Estepona. The property offers five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three guest toilets, distributed over three floors connected by a lift. The asking price is fixed at €4,750,000 and the home is key-ready. The setting is a quiet residential estate with an inland, rural character, where the sea lies roughly 6.6 km away as the crow flies and golf courses are within a few kilometres. A car is necessary for daily travel.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits inland in Benahavís, in a quiet rural setting on a cul-de-sac with only two adjoining neighbours. The nearest beaches, Playa del Saladillo and Playa Isdabe, lie about 6.6–6.7 km away as the crow flies. A supermarket is 3.7 km away, a pharmacy 707 m and a hospital 6.5 km. Marbella is 14 km distant; Málaga airport approximately 48 km.
The house offers five en-suite bedrooms, a master suite with dressing room, a private office, a gym and a wellness area with sauna, Turkish bath and massage room. All three floors are accessible by lift. Outdoor space includes a renovated pool, a new jacuzzi, a barbecue area, covered terraces and mature gardens, plus separate staff accommodation and a garage for several vehicles.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home, originally completed in 1970 and recently renovated. It is presented as key-ready and turnkey, with new furniture and an integrated Sonos sound system indoors and outdoors. Delivery is immediate upon purchase; no construction phase or indicative completion date applies to this property.
The property does not offer direct beach access; the coast is roughly 6.6 km away by road. Public transport is minimal, with a single line and one stop, so daily mobility depends entirely on a car. The plot adjoins two neighbouring properties. Built in 1970, the structure predates current new-build standards despite its renovation. No price range or unit choice exists, one house at one fixed price.
This property fits a buyer seeking a large, move-in-ready villa in a secure inland setting who values privacy and golf proximity over walking access to the beach. Households relocating permanently will find the office, gym, spa and staff accommodation practical for year-round living, while the en-suite bedrooms and guest toilets accommodate visiting family. Buyers who intend to work remotely can use the private office; the nearest international school at 6.0 km matters to families with children of school age. The property suits multi-generational households, since the lift removes the barrier of three floors and the separate staff accommodation can serve live-in help or independent guests. It is less suitable for buyers who want to walk to restaurants, shops or the sea: every daily trip beyond the pharmacy requires a car, and public transport consists of one line with one stop. Buyers seeking a brand-new structure should also note the 1970 origin, however thorough the recent renovation. Finally, the fixed price of €4,750,000 positions this home for a specific budget segment of the Benahavís market, comparable to new-build villas in the €3.9–5.8 million range nearby, so the decision effectively weighs an immediate, completed property against off-plan alternatives.
The villa was recently renovated and is presented in turnkey condition with brand-new furniture throughout. The main floor combines a living room with fireplace, separate living and dining areas, and a fully equipped kitchen with a central island and direct access to the covered terraces. Climate systems cover several layers: air conditioning, central heating, underfloor heating and a fireplace, allowing year-round temperature control across the 967 m² of living space. An integrated Sonos sound system runs through the indoor rooms and the outdoor areas. The wellness level includes a wooden sauna, a Turkish bath and a massage room with sea views, alongside a high-end gym. All five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and the master suite adds a dressing room, a private bathroom and terrace access facing the Mediterranean. Three guest toilets are distributed across the main floor, the spa and the pool area. Fitted wardrobes and satellite TV are standard. Outdoors, the swimming pool has been completely renovated and is joined by a new jacuzzi and a newly installed barbecue area. The plot of over 6,000 m² carries mature, maintained gardens, and a lift serves all three floors, a technical feature that materially affects daily usability in a house of this size. Separate staff accommodation and a garage for several vehicles complete the practical provision. The original structure dates from 1970; the renovation addressed finishes and systems, and buyers may wish to verify technical documentation independently.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €4,750,000, this is an existing, key-ready home, not a new-build development with a price list. The price reflects a property of 967 m² of living space on a 6,037 m² plot, with five en-suite bedrooms, a lift, a gym, a spa, staff quarters and a private garage. For context within Benahavís, nearby new-build villas are marketed from roughly €3,900,000 to €5,790,000, so this asking price sits within the established range for large detached villas in the municipality. Availability is immediate, as the renovation is complete and the furniture is new.
Daily life at this villa follows the rhythm of an inland Benahavís estate: mornings on a south-facing terrace with views over the golf course, the Mediterranean and the mountains, afternoons at the private pool, and evenings at the barbecue area or under the covered patio dining space. Because the house lies on a cul-de-sac with only two adjoining neighbours and no through traffic, the immediate surroundings are quiet throughout the year, including the summer months when the coast is busiest. Practical errands require short drives: the supermarket at 3.7 km and the pharmacy at 707 m cover daily needs, while the hospital at 6.5 km and international schooling at 6.0 km serve longer-term requirements. The villa's internal layout supports both full-time residence and extended stays. The lift connects all three floors, the gym and spa allow daily exercise at home, and the office supports remote work. Staff accommodation and a multi-vehicle garage suit households with domestic help or frequent guests. The swimming season in the area runs about four months with water at or above 20°C, although the private pool, jacuzzi and south orientation extend outdoor use beyond that window. With fourteen restaurants within 2 km and Benahavís village known for its dining scene, evenings out are close at hand without entering the busier coastal towns.
The surroundings combine rural quietness with unusually dense golf infrastructure. La Zagaleta's course lies 2.2 km away, La Quinta Golf 3.9 km and Tramores Golf 4.3 km, with Marbella Club Golf Resort and El Higueral also within about 3 km. Fourteen restaurants, a pharmacy, a bank branch and cafés sit within a 2 km radius, meaning everyday needs are met without descending to the coast. The village of Benahavís itself, with about 9,472 inhabitants, sits at 204 m elevation between Marbella (14 km), Estepona and Ronda, 7 km from the sea. This inland position produces a noticeably calmer environment than the coastal strip: through traffic is absent from the estate, and the nearest viewpoints, Mirador del Tajo del Novio at 0.6 km and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 1.2 km, indicate the walking and nature options in the hills. Sports facilities in the municipality number twenty-five, including a municipal sports hall at 0.7 km, a gym at 0.8 km and municipal pools at 0.9 km. The climate averages 18.1°C annually, with monthly means between 12°C and 26°C, supporting outdoor use of the property across most of the year.
The map shows the villa's inland position in the Benahavís hills, with the coastline 6.6 km to the south, golf courses clustering within a 2–4 km ring, and Marbella 14 km to the east. All distances shown are straight-line; road distances run longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the Costa del Sol, Benahavís occupies an inland position between Marbella (14 km) and Estepona, roughly 7 km from the coast, a placement that trades beach proximity for elevation, quietness and golf. Marbella, with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, provides the full urban offering, while Málaga city lies 60 km away. The municipality records around 800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active market for a locality of under 10,000 residents. Algeciras and Gibraltar lie 56–50 km to the west.
Beaches lie 6.6–6.7 km away as the crow flies: Playa del Saladillo and Playa Isdabe are the nearest coastal options, with actual road distances somewhat longer. Málaga airport is about 48 km away, and Gibraltar airport roughly 50 km, giving a choice of two international gateways. Marbella is 14 km away, Estepona within easy reach, and Puerto Deportivo José Banús, the marina at Puerto Banús, 8.7 km. A car is necessary for virtually all travel: public transport in the area consists of one line with a single stop. Daily amenities are compact: supermarket at 3.7 km, pharmacy at 707 m, hospital at 6.5 km and an international school at 6.0 km. Electric-vehicle charging is available 277 m from the property, with a Supercharger in Estepona at 7.4 km.

Benahavís sits at 204 m above sea level in the foothills between Marbella, Estepona and Ronda, giving this property a mountain-and-golf outlook rather than a beachfront one. The average annual temperature is 18.1°C, with monthly means ranging from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest, a spread that keeps outdoor terraces usable for most of the year and makes the fireplace and underfloor heating relevant in winter. The swimming season, defined by sea water at or above 20°C, lasts about four months; the villa's private pool and jacuzzi extend water-based leisure independently of sea temperature. The property is described as close to forest, and the surrounding viewpoints, Mirador del Tajo del Novio at 0.6 km and Puerto Velate at 2.5 km, mark the nearby walking terrain. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, consistent with the region's Mediterranean pattern of long dry summers and mild, wetter winters.

The nearest beaches, Playa del Saladillo and Playa Isdabe, both lie under 7 km away in a straight line on the Estepona-side coast. The marina at Puerto Banús, 8.7 km distant, adds a full leisure offering of berths, dining and nightlife. Golf is the dominant recreation here: the villa stands frontline to a golf setting with La Zagaleta's course 2.2 km away, La Quinta Golf at 3.9 km, Tramores at 4.3 km, and El Higueral and Marbella Club Golf Resort within about 3 km. On-site, the renovated pool, new jacuzzi and barbecue area provide private recreation, complemented by the villa's own gym, sauna and Turkish bath. Municipal facilities, a sports hall at 0.7 km, a gym at 0.8 km and public pools at 0.9 km, expand the options, and the municipality counts twenty-five sports facilities in total. Hiking and viewpoint walks begin essentially at the property's edge.

Within Benahavís, this villa competes directly with a cluster of high-end detached properties. Gate 3 Villa is marketed from €5,195,000, Villa Solis from €3,900,000 and Villa Selene Luxe from €5,790,000, placing this property's fixed €4,750,000 asking price in the middle of the local range. The essential difference lies in product type: the comparables are new-build projects with 'from' pricing and a construction or delivery phase, whereas this is a completed 1970 structure, recently renovated and immediately habitable. That distinction cuts both ways. A buyer here gains immediacy, no construction risk, no waiting period, new furniture included, but acquires a property whose original build predates current standards, which independent technical inspection can address. In spatial terms, 967 m² of living space on a 6,037 m² plot is generous even by Benahavís standards, and features such as the lift, staff accommodation and in-house spa are not universal at this price level. Municipality-wide, roughly 800 housing transactions per year against a population of about 9,500 indicate a liquid but selective market, driven largely by international buyers. Geographically, all these properties share the same fundamentals: the Benahavís hills between Marbella and Estepona, golf density unmatched elsewhere on this stretch of coast, and the trade-off of car-dependent daily life in exchange for quietness and views. Compared with coastal Marbella at similar budgets, buyers here exchange walkability to the sea for larger plots, more privacy and lower density; compared with Estepona, they gain proximity to both Marbella and the Puerto Banús marina at 8.7 km.
