Villa for sale in La Capellania, Benalmádena, Málaga

Property overview & investment potential

Set on an exceptionally large 1,036 m² plot—around twice the size of most properties of this type in the neighbourhood. Originally built in 1985, this detached villa represents a classic “blank canvas” renovation project. The structural layout allows an investor or homebuyer to dramatically scale up the total footprint and market value with targeted enclosure work.

Note: The property is not currently live-in and therefore the garden requires attention due to the drying out of the grass and plants. Photo No. 1 has been enhanced by AI to show how the property actually looked beforehand. The rest of the photos depict the property in its present state.

Key architectural & spatial highlights

• Upper main living floor (126.7 m²): Features a main hall, guest toilet, family kitchen, dedicated laundry room (9.25 m²), and a spacious lounge-diner with fireplace opening directly onto a 15.1 m² wrap-around terrace with full East-South-West sun exposure. Accommodates 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.

• Massive value-add lower ground level (150.55 m²): Due to the natural elevation of the plot, the entire ground level is a wide open-plan covered porch/terrace. It offers the potential to be fully enclosed into additional luxury living quarters, a guest apartment, spa/gym, or a subterranean entertainment complex.

• Expansive outdoor living: Generous plot grounds featuring mature gardens, total privacy, and an oversized 73 m² private swimming pool (12 m x 6 m footprint).

• Walkability & amenities: Situated just 500 meters from the upper Higuerón commercial center, housing a Carrefour supermarket, boutique shops, banks, and popular local dining.
