Set in an idyllic location overlooking a tranquil lake and framed by mountain scenery, this enchanting Spanish Cortijo embodies the timeless appeal of Andalusian architecture. With its signature central courtyard and over 10,000 m² of mature gardens, the estate exudes authentic charm, privacy, and a true sense of place.

A welcoming driveway leads to the main entrance, revealing a single-level layout that blends comfort and practicality. The residence offers six bedrooms — five of which open directly onto the courtyard — and a collection of elegant living and dining areas that reflect its traditional character. The rustic kitchen and original finishes retain the home’s warm, authentic spirit, while also offering an exciting opportunity for modernisation.

Outside, the serene pool area enjoys captivating views across the lake and surrounding hills, with generous terraces and shaded dining areas ideal for outdoor living. The landscaped gardens, though in need of some care, are filled with potential to be transformed into a truly spectacular setting.

With additional staff accommodation and a rare lakeside position in one of the area’s most desirable enclaves, this property represents a unique opportunity to restore and elevate an authentic Andalusian gem into a stunning contemporary estate.

Benahavis is one of the most sought-after municipalities on the Costa del Sol, occupying a privileged position in the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves between Marbella and Estepona. The village itself is known for its whitewashed streets, its concentration of high-quality restaurants, and the density of luxury residential developments that occupy its surrounding valleys and hillsides. The municipality combines genuine Andalusian character with the infrastructure and discretion that serious buyers expect.

The village centre is known across the region for its restaurant strip, with El Cortijo de Pepe and Los Abanicos among the established names. The Golden Mile and Puerto Banus are within 20 minutes by car, as are the beach clubs of Marbella. La Quinta Golf and Country Club and several other courses are within the municipality itself.

Marbella is approximately 20 kilometres to the east, reachable in around 20 minutes by car. Malaga Airport, the main international gateway for the Costa del Sol, is roughly 65 kilometres away and accessible in under an hour via the AP-7 motorway. The airport operates direct routes to most major European cities and several long-haul destinations, making Benahavis a practical base for internationally mobile residents.
