Villa for sale in Benahavís, Málaga

This impressive villa is set in a privileged position, on the edge of a natural park with the Guadalmansa river running below at the bottom of the valley and enjoying magnificent views to the hills and towards the coast. Set in Monte Mayor, a secluded and guarded community with only one access point, just 6 km from the town of Benahavís and just 7 km from the coast.

Once you enter Monte Mayor and arrive at the house, you are greeted by the impressive entrance courtyard made of granite stones from Portugal, leading to a large triple carport with a thatched roof, with like a gazebo.

The home is built over two levels plus a large basement with partially natural light and a terrace facing the river below, with all levels connected by an elevator.

The heart of the house is the large open-plan kitchen with top of the range Gaggenau appliances, extending out to the 140 m2 living room with a beautiful wooden vaulted ceiling and a fireplace with sliding windows opening onto the terrace and pool area. The terrace area, which is partly covered on this level, is absolutely stunning as it offers a stunning Provençal-style fountain from France, a covered small kitchenette with a pizza oven and all other amenities to entertain guests while enjoying the amazing views. Also on this level there is an independent en-suite guest bedroom accessed from the terrace.

The heated pool is 18.5 m long, with a built-in bar with underwater chairs. The average temperature is 25–30 degrees and it is covered by a motorized blanket with built-in solar cells for heat retention. It also has a UV light treatment system to reduce the use and smell of chlorine.

The master bedroom is located on a separate wing of the upper level, with a transparent bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe, and access to a large porch with unbeatable views. On the other wing on the same level to the west are two spacious en-suite bedrooms sharing a porch and enjoying fabulous views.

The lower level is for relaxing and entertaining guests and includes a cinema designed and built by Bang & Olufsen that accommodates 12 guests, a professional wine cellar with temperature and humidity control, and an entire area for self-pampering with a hammam, full bathroom, massage area, gym, guest apartment, an additional guest bedroom, large storage with toilet, a laundry area and a terrace for relaxing and chilling out.

Special features: there is a platform with artificial grass constructed for solar panels that generate 10 kW energy for the house via a converter which cannot be seen from the house. The Daikin machinery room has hot water tanks and a system to control under-floor heating throughout. The water tanks are activated automatically and can supply the house with four days of water consumption for 12 people. Indoor and outdoor alarm system with laser beams covering the entire property, connected to the security point at the main gate. Bang & Olufsen music and sound system, and a Lutron controlled lighting system throughout the property. The sound system allows you to play different music in every room.

Another very important yet unnoticeable feature of this masterpiece is that the foundations are exceptionally built, with kilometres of piles ensuring that the structure of the entire house remains stable, avoiding structural issues or cracks.
