Villa Atardecer de Benahavís

What time of day do you like the light best? At Villa Atardecer de Benahavís, a contemporary luxury villa in Benahavís, the best light comes in the afternoon. It faces southwest and west, so every day the sun says goodbye right in front of your house.

You get home, pour yourself something cool and step outside. The sky turns orange over the sea and the mountains. And the forest slowly falls silent.

It's a new build, never lived in, in excellent condition. You walk in and nobody has lived there before you. Everything is of today: contemporary design and luxury materials.

It has 712 m² built for four bedrooms and four bathrooms. That's a lot of space per person. The rooms are generous and nobody feels squeezed.

And do you know what you appreciate most day to day? That the house thinks for you. It has home automation, so you control much of it from your phone. And the shutters are electric: before you leave, you lower them all at once.

It has underfloor heating and air conditioning for heating and cooling. You walk barefoot in winter and sleep cool in August.

Do you care about your electricity bill? It has photovoltaic solar panels that produce part of the house's power. And in the garage there's a charging point for an electric car. You plug it in at night and it's ready in the morning.

The garage is covered and private. You arrive, park in the shade and walk into the house without getting wet when it rains. It also has a basement, which leaves room for everything you don't want on show.

The kitchen is equipped and ready to use from day one. No dealing with building work or suppliers.

Outside you have a private pool and a private garden. It's an easy garden to look after, so you have greenery around you without spending your weekend tending it. And the pool is yours alone.

The views are panoramic: the sea, the mountains and the forests of Benahavís. Every window shows you something different.

The villa is in a gated development with 24-hour security and a 24-hour reception. You sleep peacefully every night. And when you travel, there's always someone at the entrance keeping an eye on the house and on whatever arrives.

That said, you're not isolated here. Golf courses, shops and schools are close by. Day-to-day life with children is easy.

I have more photos and the full floor plans. I'll send them as soon as you write to me.

And before you look at another luxury villa on this website, I'd like you to know one thing. I'm one of the few agents who work only on selling luxury villas in Marbella priced above 3 million.

I know that with a new house one of the doubts is whether everything is in order. Building licence, first occupancy licence, what was built compared with what was approved. In more than twelve years as an agent I've checked this on many villas in Benahavís. Before you sign anything, I request all the planning documents and we review them with your lawyer. So you buy knowing nothing is outstanding.

When you work with me, you always talk to me. From the first call to the day I hand you the keys. Can you see yourself on the terrace watching the sun set over the sea? Then write to me. If Villa Atardecer de Benahavís is your home, I'll tell you. And if it isn't, we'll find the one that is together.

Brand-new houses in Benahavís with views like these are the first to sell. If it suits you, ask for a viewing soon.
