About this place

This exceptional south-facing plot for sale in El Madroñal, Benahavís includes an approved project for a contemporary luxury villa offering 713 m² of interior living space, 522 m² of terraces, six en-suite bedrooms, panoramic mountain and countryside views, a private wellness area, and a covered garage for four vehicles. Situated within one of the Costa del Sol's most prestigious gated communities, the property presents a rare opportunity to build a bespoke residence that combines striking architecture, complete privacy, and modern comfort in an outstanding natural setting. Positioned approximately 400 metres above sea level, the plot enjoys an elevated location surrounded by mature cork oaks, pine trees, and Mediterranean vegetation. Its desirable south-facing orientation ensures abundant natural light throughout the day while allowing the future residence to make the most of the panoramic views across the surrounding hills and protected countryside. The peaceful environment, combined with generous proportions and complete privacy, creates the ideal setting for a home designed to embrace both nature and contemporary living. Located directly opposite the exclusive La Zagaleta estate, El Madroñal has become one of Benahavís' most sought-after residential communities, attracting discerning international buyers looking for tranquillity, security, and exclusivity. The approved architectural project has been designed by the renowned architect Santiago Lloreda Márquez, whose vision combines contemporary architecture with timeless elegance and practical family living. Distributed across three carefully planned levels, the proposed residence has been conceived to maximise natural light, open living spaces, and the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas. Every aspect of the design reflects a commitment to quality, functionality, and refined Mediterranean living. The future villa will comprise six spacious en-suite bedrooms, together with five additional bathrooms and a guest toilet, providing generous accommodation for both family members and guests. Expansive open-plan living and dining areas will flow effortlessly onto the generous terraces, creating exceptional spaces for entertaining, outdoor dining, and enjoying the Mediterranean climate throughout the year. Large floor-to-ceiling windows have been incorporated into the design to maximise the south-facing orientation, filling the interiors with natural light while framing the surrounding landscape. Designed with both luxury and practicality in mind, the project also includes a covered garage with space for four vehicles, providing secure parking with direct access to the residence. Extensive storage and service areas have been carefully integrated into the layout, ensuring the villa functions effortlessly as a permanent family home or an exclusive holiday retreat. Wellness forms an important part of the overall concept. The project incorporates a private spa area featuring a sauna and Turkish bath, creating a dedicated space for relaxation and wellbeing. The expansive 522 m² of terraces further enhance the lifestyle offering, providing multiple outdoor living areas where future owners can enjoy complete privacy while taking in the peaceful natural surroundings. El Madroñal is widely regarded as one of Benahavís' most exclusive residential communities. The gated estate benefits from 24-hour security with controlled access, providing residents with exceptional privacy and peace of mind. Large individual plots, luxury villas, and mature Mediterranean landscaping create a low-density environment where space and tranquillity are fundamental characteristics. Nature is one of El Madroñal's defining attractions. Residents enjoy direct access to scenic hiking and cycling trails that wind through cork oak forests, olive groves, and protected woodland, offering an exceptional lifestyle for those who appreciate outdoor living.
