Andalusian architecture and expansive grounds in Benahavís
El Madroñal is an established gated community in the hills of Benahavís, bordered by forest and country landscapes yet close to golf courses. Within this 24-hour secure enclave stands a four-bedroom panoramic sea view finca in El Madroñal, occupying a 5,558 m² registered plot (5,405 m² cadastral). The residence preserves its traditional Andalusian character and holds clear scope for selective modernisation.
South-west orientation and heated pool
The grounds provide a level of privacy rarely found in newer developments. Mature private gardens surround a heated private pool, oriented to the south-west to capture afternoon light. Across 98 m² of covered and uncovered terraces, the outlook takes in the pool, the surrounding forest, the mountains and the Mediterranean coastline.
Three levels with high ceilings
The main residence has a built area of 342 m² distributed across three levels. A defining architectural trait of the home is the pronounced ceiling height in both the main living area and the principal bedroom, which brings volume and natural light to the core rooms. The layout comprises four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a guest toilet, alongside a separate guest house. A fireplace anchors the living space, complemented by hot and cold air conditioning throughout. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the bedrooms include fitted wardrobes.
Security, storage and plot potential
Presented in good condition, this panoramic sea view finca in El Madroñal is equipped with a storage room, a safe, an alarm system, WiFi and satellite television. Private open parking is located within the grounds. Because of the scale of the land, there is potential to explore further guest accommodation or a subdivision of the plot, subject to feasibility studies and municipal planning approvals, as no additional development rights are currently confirmed.
Access to the coast and golf
From the quiet of the Benahavís hills, the property remains well connected to the rest of the municipality and the coast. Golf courses and forested walking trails lie close by, while the beaches, restaurants and marinas of Marbella and Puerto Banús are within easy driving distance.

Property Description
Exclusive Listing | Authentic Andalusian Villa with Panoramic Sea Views in El Madroñal
A distinctive opportunity in El Madroñal: an authentic Andalusian villa with exceptional sea and mountain views, set on an unusually generous and private plot of 5,558 m² (registered title area).
Located within the prestigious, 24-hour gated community of El Madroñal, this charming four-bedroom villa offers a combination increasingly difficult to find on the Costa del Sol: spectacular panoramic views, extensive private grounds, traditional Mediterranean character and exciting potential for personalisation.
The villa is distributed across three levels and features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a guest toilet. One of its most appealing architectural characteristics is the impressive ceiling height in both the main living area and principal bedroom, creating a wonderful sense of space and openness.
Unlike many modern developments, the property has preserved its authentic Andalusian identity, with traditional architectural features, generous living spaces and a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The outdoor areas are equally impressive. The property enjoys beautiful terraces, mature gardens, a private swimming pool and breathtaking views stretching across the Mediterranean coastline and surrounding mountains.
Exceptional Plot and Future Potential.
A key differentiating factor is the property's 5,558 m² registered plot, offering exceptional privacy and flexibility compared with many properties in this price segment.
The extensive grounds provide scope to explore additional possibilities, including separate guest accommodation and potential subdivision of the land. Both opportunities would require detailed feasibility assessments and the necessary planning approvals, and no additional development rights are currently confirmed.
The villa would also benefit from selective modernisation, offering buyers an opportunity to create a beautiful contemporary Mediterranean residence while preserving its original charm.

- An authentic villa with character rather than a standard contemporary development
- Exceptional panoramic sea and mountain views
- A substantial private plot in a secure, established residential community
