Villa for sale in El Madroñal

An indoor pool, spa and gym in one wing, a cinema, games room, bar and wine cellar in the other, and 1,372 m² built in total: Madroñal 6 is arranged more like a small private resort than a conventional house.

The property sits on a 5,054 m² plot in El Madroñal, Benahavís, with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two guest toilets and 212 m² of terraces, facing south-east towards the sea. An entrance courtyard leads to a double-height hall on the main floor, where large windows connect the sitting room with the terraces. A separate dining room and a substantial kitchen with breakfast area handle formal and everyday meals, and two bedroom suites sit on this level alongside an office that could serve as another bedroom, a guest toilet, laundry and an independent room.

The upper floor holds three further suites, including the principal bedroom with dressing room, large bathroom and private terrace. Below the main floor, an above-ground lower level opens directly onto the pool area and houses the leisure wing described above. A lift connects all floors, and underfloor heating runs throughout. The garden includes an outdoor pool and a gazebo with its own kitchen.

El Madroñal is a gated hillside estate above the Guadaiza valley with 24-hour security, one of roughly 150 properties in a community spanning some 600 acres. La Quinta, San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús and the beach are all reached by car. Community fees are €317, with IBI of €3,716 and rubbish tax of €18.

This is a house built for a household that will genuinely use its scale. At over 1,300 m² across three levels, the leisure spaces bring real running and maintenance demands, even with the lift making circulation straightforward.
