Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located in Benahavís, a picturesque village in the province of Málaga, this project is situated inland, away from the immediate bustle of the coast. Its proximity to golf courses and mountain views provides a peaceful living environment. The convenience of essential amenities such as a supermarket and pharmacy, just a few kilometers away, ensures daily ease. This positions the project as an attractive option for residents who prefer serenity while maintaining accessibility.
This villa is designed for residents seeking a combination of space, comfort, and functionality. The layout with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms is suitable for families or for those who frequently host guests. The presence of a home office corner and spacious outdoor areas, with the potential for a private swimming pool, caters to diverse lifestyles, from relaxation to productivity. The rural setting also offers opportunities for outdoor activities.
This is an existing construction with potential for expansion, benefiting from urban-residential zoning that allows for the addition of at least one more level. The current villa spans two floors with a living area of 200 m². The property is already completed, making it available for immediate occupancy or further development. This offers a flexible entry opportunity for buyers.
While the property enjoys a quiet, rural location, a car is essential for daily commutes due to the limited public transport options. The distance to the coast, though short by air, requires transportation for beach visits. The property is offered partially furnished, suggesting that additional furnishing may be necessary. The possibility of a private swimming pool requires further investigation and installation.
