About the Property
Set within a quiet location in El Paraíso Alto, Benahavís, this expansive Mediterranean estate offers a rare combination of scale, privacy and elevated sea views. Surrounded by mature landscaped gardens and set on a generous 7,000 m² plot, the property enjoys a privileged position where natural beauty and residential tranquillity define the lifestyle.
A sweeping driveway leads through lush greenery towards the main residence, where a sense of grandeur is immediately established. The estate comprises a principal villa, two guest houses and an additional independent building, creating a versatile configuration ideal for large families, hosting guests or accommodating staff while maintaining complete privacy across the property.
The main villa is arranged over three levels and features a striking double-height entrance hall with a sculptural spiral staircase that sets the architectural tone for the home. Living spaces are generous and elegant, including a substantial main lounge with fireplace, a refined dining area and a relaxed sitting room designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. Large openings connect the interiors with a wraparound terrace that captures panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and the Mediterranean Sea.
A spacious independent kitchen is positioned at the heart of the home, fitted with high-end appliances and a central island, offering both practicality and scale for family living and entertaining. The main villa accommodates six bedrooms and five bathrooms, each designed to provide comfort, natural light and privacy.
Complementing the main residence, two guest houses provide a further five en-suite bedrooms alongside dedicated leisure amenities including a games room and a private spa, creating a resort-like atmosphere within the estate. An additional separate building offers four more bedrooms and three bathrooms, further enhancing the property’s flexibility and accommodation capacity.
Outdoor living is central to the estate’s appeal, with a large swimming pool positioned between the main villa and guest residences, framed by mature gardens and multiple terraces. These spaces create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living, offering both shaded retreats and open areas ideal for entertaining or relaxing in complete privacy.
The grounds are meticulously maintained, with landscaped pathways, mature planting and natural surroundings reinforcing the sense of seclusion. Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains within easy reach of golf courses, international schools, fine dining, beach clubs and the coastal amenities of Marbella, with excellent connectivity via the AP-7.
The property includes a refurbishment programme for the main house, already scheduled to commence, presenting an opportunity to further elevate and modernise an already substantial estate while preserving its architectural character and scale.
This is a rare offering in Benahavís: a private hillside estate that combines volume, flexibility and sea views, delivering a lifestyle defined by space, discretion and long-term value in one of the Costa del Sol’s most desirable residential areas.
