This detached villa in Benahavís represents a distinctive residential opportunity within the exclusive La Finca de Jasmine community. Built in 1970 and completed, the property offers 160m² of living space across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, positioned on a 322m² plot. The residence benefits from its elevated position with mountain and sea views, complemented by a private pool and proximity to several premier golf courses, positioning it within the desirable 'Golden Triangle' of the Costa del Sol region.
This Benahavís villa presents a distinctive offering compared to surrounding developments in the Golden Triangle area. Whereas contemporary new-build projects like Sky Marbella Apartments (from €1,495,000) and Lyra Residences (from €1,510,000) offer modern construction with advanced specifications, this established property provides immediate availability without construction risks or delays. The pricing structure at €1,895,000 positions it similarly to Be Lagom development (from €1,890,000), though delivering a detached villa configuration rather than apartment living. Unlike more centrally located Marbella properties that offer walkable urban access, this Benahavís location prioritises golf proximity and natural surroundings. The property's 1970 construction date offers mature landscaping and established community integration, contrasting with newly developed areas still undergoing completion phases. Compared to purely coastal developments, this inland location delivers reduced tourist density outside seasonal periods, potentially providing a more consistent residential environment throughout the year.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa occupies a landlocked position within Benahavís municipality, 7km from the coastline. Situated at 123m above sea level in a rural setting between Marbella, Estepona, and Ronda. The location provides a secluded environment whilst maintaining access to surrounding urban centres and coastal amenities via private transportation.
This property accommodates three-bedroom household requirements with ensuite bathrooms. The 160m² interior space offers a functional layout with defined living areas. The 322m² plot provides outdoor living space including a private pool, addressing the desire for alfresco lifestyle. The property's orientation and terraced areas support year-round outdoor enjoyment.
The property represents completed construction from 1970, classified as ready for occupation. As an established residence, it differs from new-build developments, offering immediate availability without construction phases or completion timelines. The property status indicates readiness for transfer without development delays or building risks.
This property does not offer beachfront access, requiring a minimum 6.9km journey to reach coastal areas. The inland location necessitates private vehicle ownership for daily mobility and access to essential services. The completed 1970 construction precludes contemporary new-build energy specifications without potential renovation. The gated community setting carries associated maintenance obligations.
This property aligns with specific buyer circumstances seeking established rather than new-build residences. The three-bedroom configuration suits households requiring permanent space rather than purely holiday accommodation. The location particularly appeals to golf enthusiasts, given the proximity to three significant courses within 3.1km. For those prioritising exclusivity over beachfront convenience, the gated community environment of La Finca de Jasmine delivers a private residential experience. Buyers comfortable with private transportation over walkable urban environments will find the inland setting appropriate. The 1970 construction date may particularly interest those appreciating established properties with mature gardens rather than newly developed sites. The property represents a middle position for those seeking proximity to both the coast and inland Andalusian countryside, requiring commitment to mobility in exchange for privacy and panoramic views.
The villa demonstrates construction quality representative of its 1970 origins, featuring marble flooring throughout that provides both durability and a classic aesthetic. The bathroom specifications incorporate premium fixtures with walk-in rainfall showers and floating vanities, reflecting a renovation standard that maintains historical character while incorporating contemporary amenities. The kitchen installation presents a fully fitted configuration with integrated appliances, though not reaching the technological integration of current new-build specifications. The property benefits from double-glazing installations and climate control systems, including air conditioning and heating capabilities that address seasonal temperature variations effectively. The 78m² terrace construction employs quality materials designed for the Mediterranean climate, with wooden pergola features that create defined outdoor living spaces while maintaining privacy within the established garden setting.
The detached villa is positioned at €1,895,000, reflecting its status within the exclusive La Finca de Jasmine gated community. This pricing places the property within the premium segment of the Benahavís market, comparable to nearby developments such as Sky Marbella Apartments (from €1,495,000) and Be Lagom (from €1,890,000). The completed status enables immediate transfer, distinguishing it from off-plan properties with future completion dates.
Daily life at this Benahavís villa revolves around a rhythm of privacy and selectivity. The morning begins with southeast orientation capturing the Andalusian sunlight across the private terrace spaces. The elevated position affords tranquil mornings overlooking the mountainous terrain before the coastal areas become active. Essential services require planned journeys, with the nearest pharmacy accessible within 362m, though comprehensive shopping necessitates travel to Benahavís town centre or further to Marbella. Afternoons may be divided between the private pool, nearby golf courses, or exploration of the surrounding natural landscape. The proximity to La Zagaleta Country Club (1.9km) and Marbella Club Golf Resort (2.6km) facilitates regular golf activities for enthusiasts. Evenings transition to al fresco dining on the terraces with panoramic views, with social excursions to Puerto Banús (8.8km) requiring dedicated travel arrangements.
The villa's location requires automotive dependency for all regular activities beyond immediate neighbourhood engagement. Access to Marbella involves approximately a 15km journey westward, while Estepona lies 20km to the east. Essential shopping necessitates travel to Benahavís town centre or larger commercial centres in surrounding municipalities. Educational facilities include one primary school within the immediate area, though international school options require travel to The International School of Estepona (5.8km). Healthcare access involves a 6.7km journey to hospital facilities, with pharmacy services conveniently positioned within 362m.
