Benahavis, Cortijo del Taraje, rustic elegance in a unique natural setting overlooking the lake

Located in Benahavís, about 7 km from Puerto Banús, 10 km from Marbella and 4 km from the centre of the village of Benahavís, this estate enjoys an exceptional natural setting next to a tranquil lake and surrounded by mountains. The area is known for its scenic beauty, privacy and proximity to some of the best golf courses and restaurants on the Costa del Sol, making it a privileged enclave for those seeking peace without sacrificing the convenience of having everything nearby.

Cortijo del Taraje is part of a very exclusive residential environment, with private access and a very serene atmosphere. Its location next to the lake, unusual in the area, gives the property a unique character. The estate sits on a large plot of over 10,000 m² of mature gardens, offering ample outdoor space and total privacy.

The single-storey house combines the charm of traditional Andalusian architecture with a functional layout. Its design revolves around a central courtyard that acts as the hub of the house, providing natural light and ventilation. It has six bedrooms, five of which have direct access to the courtyard, and spacious living and dining areas that reflect the warm and authentic character of the cortijo. The kitchen retains its original rustic style, as do the period finishes that evoke the essence of old Andalusian estates. All this provides an excellent basis for a renovation project that combines tradition and modern comfort.

Outside, the pool area enjoys stunning views of the lake and surrounding hills. The terraces, seating areas and outdoor dining areas invite you to enjoy outdoor living all year round. The gardens, although requiring maintenance, offer enormous potential to become an exceptional landscaped setting.

The estate also has staff accommodation, ample parking areas and the possibility of creating a contemporary retreat without losing the distinctive Andalusian soul. A rare opportunity to restore a property with character in one of the most sought-after areas of Benahavís.
