This spacious detached villa, located in the charming Benalmadena Pueblo, offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a project with significant potential. With a generous living area of 609 m² on a plot of 2638 m², this property is ready for a transformation. The villa combines a tranquil setting in a mountain village with the proximity of urban amenities. This project requires renovation, offering the chance to fully adapt the home to your personal taste and needs, while preserving the foundation of a substantial residence. The sea and mountain views, combined with the large garden, form an attractive base for future living or investment.
Compared to nearby projects like 'Alba Benalmadena' (from €699,000), which may be ready to move into but offer less plot area, this villa positions itself as a larger, more ambitious renovation project. The projects in Estepona ('Acqua Gardens' and 'Aby Upper', from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively) are generally smaller in scale and focus on new construction with modern amenities, appealing to a different market segment. This villa in Benalmadena Pueblo stands out for its size, location in a traditional village, and the potential for personalized transformation. The price of €1,490,000 reflects the scale of the property and its location, placing it in the higher segment of the Costa del Sol renovation market, where demand for such 'blank canvas' properties with ample land exists.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Situated in Benalmadena Pueblo, an atmospheric mountain village, this villa offers an excellent balance between tranquility and accessibility. The immediate surroundings are characterized by amenities within walking distance, including several restaurants, pharmacies, and banks.

This villa is aimed at buyers who are not afraid of a major renovation and wish to have the freedom to create a home according to their own design. With 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the property offers space for large families or guest accommodations.

The project offers the opportunity to integrate modern technologies and finishes into the existing structure. The planned renovation will bring the property up to current standards in terms of comfort and energy efficiency.

This is not a project for those seeking immediate move-in readiness, but rather for the visionary who sees value in potential and personalization.
The villa is built with solid materials, evident in details such as the original solid wood ceilings. The property features pre-installed air conditioning and a fireplace for climate control. Characteristics like fitted wardrobes, private terraces, a solarium, and a jacuzzi suggest an originally high standard of finishing. The existing furnishings are complete. However, the current state of finishes requires attention and a modernization overhaul to meet contemporary expectations, particularly regarding bathrooms, kitchen, and overall aesthetics. Integration of fiber optic internet is already provided.
The asking price for this detached villa is €1,490,000. This price level reflects the size of the plot and the living area, as well as the location in a sought-after region. Considering the need for renovation, this price represents a base investment for a project with significant potential for value appreciation upon completion of the works. Currently, one such property is available in this specific configuration and price range within the analysis of comparable projects.
