Villa for sale in Monte Mayor

Casa Cuiabá is a newly built contemporary villa for sale in Monte Mayor whose architecture is shaped by its steep natural setting. Rather than sitting as a conventional block on the plot, the 1,100 m² house follows the terrain across several levels, opening its rooms and 500 m² of terraces towards wide views over the Mediterranean, surrounding mountains and protected landscape.

The main living spaces use large areas of glass to bring the outlook into the house and connect the interior with the terraces. An open living and dining area sits alongside a fitted kitchen, while seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms are distributed to give family and guests private accommodation. The internal layout includes practical service spaces and circulation designed for a building of this scale.

Outdoor living is spread across broad terraces rather than concentrated around one patio. The infinity pool forms the main exterior focus, with landscaped areas and covered and open zones for dining and seating. A private garage accommodates four cars. The new construction also incorporates contemporary energy and climate systems intended to support year-round use.

Monte Mayor is a gated residential estate in the hills of Benahavís, less than ten kilometres inland from the A-7. It covers roughly 330 hectares, much of it protected green land, so villas are set on large plots among valleys and mountain slopes rather than on dense residential streets. The community is deliberately residential, with controlled access and security. Benahavís village, San Pedro, Puerto Banús and Marbella are reached by car, and the coastal road provides access to beaches, golf courses, schools and services.

Casa Cuiabá offers privacy and views that depend on its inland elevation. The practical trade-off is the same one that defines Monte Mayor: daily errands and coastal amenities require driving, and a house and plot of this size carry significant maintenance demands.
