Chef D'œuvre Architectural Avec Vue Panoramique Sur La Vallée À Monte Mayor Benahavís

Set on the edge of a protected natural park within the Monte Mayor area of Benahavís, this villa occupies a rare position above the Guadalmansa River, where rolling hills and distant coastal views define the landscape. Situated within a discreet gated community with controlled access, the villa combines complete privacy with a sense of openness, offering a calm retreat just a short drive from Benahavís village and the Costa del Sol coastline.

A striking arrival is created by a courtyard finished in Portuguese granite, leading to an elegant triple carport with a traditional thatched roof. From the outset, the architecture establishes a balance between contemporary structure and natural materials, setting the tone for the rest of the residence.

The home is arranged across two main levels plus a generous lower floor, all connected by a private lift. At its centre lies an expansive open-plan living space where the kitchen, dining and lounge areas come together beneath a wooden vaulted ceiling. The scale of the main living room is particularly impressive, extending to approximately 140 m² and anchored by a fireplace that adds warmth and definition to the space. Full-height sliding doors open directly onto the terraces and pool area, reinforcing the connection between interior living and the surrounding landscape.

Outdoor areas have been designed with equal attention to lifestyle and setting. Covered terraces provide shaded seating and dining zones, complemented by a Provençal-style fountain and a dedicated guest entertainment kitchenette with pizza oven. The 18.5-metre heated swimming pool forms a focal point of the exterior, complete with underwater seating, integrated bar area, solar-assisted cover and UV treatment system, creating a space suited to both relaxation and hosting.

The principal suite is positioned within a private wing of the villa, offering a walk-in wardrobe and a transparent bathroom design that maximises light and views while maintaining a strong sense of privacy. A private porch opens towards the surrounding nature, reinforcing the villa’s elevated and tranquil position. Additional en-suite bedrooms and a separate guest suite complete the accommodation on the main levels.

The lower floor is dedicated to leisure and wellbeing, offering a comprehensive range of amenities including a Bang & Olufsen cinema room, wine cellar, hammam, gym, massage area, guest apartment, storage and laundry facilities. A river-facing terrace extends this level outdoors, providing a quiet connection to the natural environment below.

Technical specifications reflect a high level of comfort and efficiency, including solar panels, underfloor heating, water reserves, Daikin climate systems, Lutron lighting control, integrated sound and advanced security installations throughout.

The property represents a private hillside estate defined by architecture, nature and wellness-driven living. Its combination of scale, design and setting creates a residence that feels both secluded and fully equipped for modern luxury living, within one of Benahavís’ most distinctive natural environments.
