Modern 4-Bed Villa in El Madroñal

A 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom resale villa of 800 m² on a 13,000 m² plot in El Madroñal, listed at €2,300,000. El Madroñal is a gated hill community in the Benahavís municipality, located in the mountains above Marbella's Golden Mile at elevations that deliver panoramic views over the coast and Mediterranean. The community is one of the most private on the Costa del Sol, with 24-hour security and strict architectural guidelines. With 800 m² of built area and a 13,000 m² plot, this is a large-format estate property. Five bedrooms and five bathrooms provide capacity for a primary family residence with room for live-in staff or regular guests. Listed as 'Seminuevo', the villa is in sound structural condition and likely benefits from the quality finishes common in this enclave. The 13,000 m² plot is exceptional — nearly 1.3 hectares — and will include mature landscaping, multiple terraces and private pool arrangements typical of El Madroñal estates. El Madroñal has one active listing, with an average price per square metre of €2,875. This villa prices at €2,875 per m², placing it exactly at the area average. The low per-metre rate relative to coastal Marbella reflects the mountain location, which commands a different buyer profile. The sheer scale — 800 m² house on 1.3 hectares — means total cost per square metre of living space is diluted by the land component, making the headline price deceptive as a pure built-space metric. This property suits a buyer seeking estate-scale privacy, space and security above the coast, typically a high-net-worth individual using it as a primary Costa del Sol base or a secure retreat. The combination of scale, gated community standards and mountain setting makes it distinct from coastal villas of similar headline price.
