This exceptional villa, situated within the prestigious gated community of El Madroñal, Benahavís, represents a benchmark in sustainability and luxury within a rural setting. With a focus on ecological design and high-quality finishes, this residence merges serene living with proximity to urban conveniences. Completed in 2023, the villa sits on a generous plot and is designed to foster a seamless integration between indoor and outdoor spaces, maximizing natural light and energy efficiency. It is an property that combines tranquility, privacy, and contemporary comfort.
Compared to projects like Aquamar (€269,950), Lantana Residencial (€205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 (€259,000) in Torre del Mar and Mijas, this villa in El Madroñal is positioned in a significantly higher price bracket, with a price tag of €4,500,000. This class difference is attributable to its exclusive location within a prestigious gated community, the much larger plot (3266 m² versus typically smaller plots in the mentioned projects), the scale of the villa (699 m² living area), and its specific focus on eco-luxury and passive house standards. The aforementioned projects are located closer to the coastline and generally offer apartments or smaller villas, targeting a broader market segment with more direct beach access. El Madroñal, conversely, attracts buyers who prioritize privacy, space, nature, and a serene lifestyle, with Marbella and its associated luxuries within easy reach. The higher investment in El Madroñal is justified by the exclusivity of the location, the scale of the property, and the high-quality, sustainable construction that far exceeds the standard of more affordable projects.
