Modern Five Bedroom Villa In Prestigious Gated Community Of El Herrojo Alto Benahavís

Set within the established gated community of El Herrojo Alto in Benahavís, this turnkey five-bedroom villa combines contemporary architecture, advanced technology and an extensive collection of wellness and entertainment spaces. Completed in 2022, the south east facing residence occupies a 1,428 m² plot and offers 675 m² of interior space together with 171 m² of terraces. Elevated above the surrounding landscape, the property enjoys views towards La Concha with glimpses of the Mediterranean, while its carefully planned orientation brings natural light into the home throughout the day.

Arranged across three principal levels and served by a private Schindler lift, the villa has been conceived as a complete modern living environment. Its architectural layout creates a clear separation between social, private and leisure spaces, while generous glazing and carefully positioned outdoor areas maintain a strong relationship with the surrounding landscape. The residence is sold fully furnished, allowing it to be enjoyed immediately without the need for further work.

The main living level is centred around an open and inviting arrangement of living, dining and kitchen areas. Full-height openings connect the interior directly with the pool terrace, creating a natural transition between the indoor spaces and the Mediterranean setting outside. At the heart of the living area, the Gunni & Trentino kitchen features a striking natural Brazilian stone island, Siemens StudioLine appliances and an integrated Pando wine cooler. A bioethanol fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere to the principal living environment.

Five bedroom suites provide generous private accommodation, with each bedroom finished to a high standard. Marazzi porcelain flooring, bespoke ceiling details and fitted wardrobes with integrated LED lighting contribute to a cohesive contemporary aesthetic, while bathrooms feature fittings from Laufen, Gessi and Fantini. The layout provides comfortable accommodation for family and guests while maintaining a strong sense of privacy across the different levels.

The lower level is dedicated to wellness, entertainment and relaxation. A fully equipped Technogym gym is complemented by a custom sauna and massage room, creating a private wellness environment within the home. The wine cellar includes a dedicated tasting area, while the acoustically treated cinema room provides an immersive setting for private screenings and evenings at home. Together, these spaces give the villa a distinctly residential yet resort-like quality, with leisure facilities integrated into the everyday living experience.

Technology is incorporated throughout the property without compromising its architectural character. A Control4 and KNX home automation system manages lighting, climate, security and video entry, while an eight-zone Bowers & Wilkins audio system provides integrated sound across the residence. The Daikin aerothermal system supplies underfloor heating and integrated cooling, while high-performance insulation and acoustic glazing contribute to a comfortable and energy-conscious interior environment. The villa has achieved an A energy rating.

The outdoor areas continue the home’s focus on relaxed entertaining. A private saltwater infinity pool forms the centrepiece of the main terrace, complemented by a solarium and a dedicated outdoor kitchen. A separate chill-out area with fireplace provides a more intimate setting for evenings outdoors, while mature tropical landscaping surrounds the property and reinforces its private atmosphere. More than 40 exterior lighting points highlight the gardens after dark, while Wi-Fi-controlled irrigation supports their maintenance throughout the year.

Practical features include covered parking, an automated Hörmann garage door, smart water leak detection, a safe and perimeter security infrastructure prepared for CCTV. These details add an additional layer of convenience and security to an already highly specified residence.

El Herrojo offers a peaceful mountainside setting within easy reach of the wider Benahavís and Marbella lifestyle. Golf courses, restaurants, international schools and everyday amenities are all accessible within the surrounding area, while Puerto Banús and Marbella’s coastline are a short drive away. The AP-7 provides convenient connections along the Costa del Sol and towards Málaga Airport, making the villa suitable for both permanent living and international use.

With its combination of contemporary design, advanced home technology, private wellness facilities, generous outdoor spaces and elevated position overlooking La Concha, this villa presents a complete lifestyle proposition in El Herrojo. Fully furnished and ready for immediate occupation, it offers the convenience of a turnkey home with the privacy of a hillside setting and the leisure infrastructure of a private retreat.
