This cortijo-style villa was designed by a Dutch architect for his own family, combining traditional Spanish elements with a clean, modern layout. The main house includes four bedrooms, and there is also a self-contained guest apartment and a large garage. The outdoor areas are a major feature, with thoughtful landscaping creating an elegant and relaxed atmosphere. Monte Mayor is located in the Benahavís area, just a short drive from the coast and close to Marbella, Puerto Banús, and Estepona. Several golf courses and sports facilities are nearby, including Villa Padierna and Los Flamingos. The main accommodation is set on one level and enjoys panoramic views towards the Marbella coastline, with Gibraltar, North Africa, and the Atlas Mountains visible on clear days. A traditional courtyard entrance leads into a hallway and on to a large open-plan living space with vaulted ceiling, sitting and dining areas, and French doors opening onto a wraparound terrace with shaded and open-air seating and dining areas. The kitchen is also spacious, with a central island, Silestone worktops, integrated appliances, and additional dining space. The hallway runs around the central courtyard, which can be opened for natural ventilation. The master bedroom is generously sized, with direct access to the terrace and garden, a walk-in dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom with bath, walk-in shower, and garden access. Two family bedrooms share a bathroom with walk-in shower, and the fourth bedroom has fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite with walk-in shower. On the lower floor is a large utility room with washing machine, dryer, and solar hot water system. There is also a sizeable storeroom and internal access to the garage, which can accommodate six or more cars. The independent guest apartment has its own entrance and also connects to the garage.
