Villa - Chalet, Benalmadena
About this property
Villa Veracruz, Benalmádena
Single-family residence standing on a 660 m² plot with panoramic sea views, protected by an adjacent green zone. Two floors with a dual-unit layout. On the market for the first time since built, it is situated at the top end of a quiet cul-de-sac, with a gated driveway finished in porcelain tiles and parking for 3–4 vehicles, in addition to a closed garage for 2 further vehicles.
The Opportunity
Villa Veracruz represents an acquisition for those who understand value creation in Benalmádena: acquiring square footage, location, and views at the right basis.
In Veracruz Alta, 660 m² plots do not frequently enter the market, particularly those preserving two concurrent attributes: frontal sea orientation and a boundary with a non-buildable green zone that secures these views for the future. Current views from the living room, bedrooms, and terraces are permanently protected.
The property features a versatile layout: designed as two independent units across two floors, each with its own kitchen, living area, and bedrooms. This configuration opens up a wide range of options — primary residence with a guest area, a home office separate from the main living space, or multi-generational living — and significantly expands the potential buyer demographic for future resale.
Additionally, the property holds a tourist license, allowing the rental of one floor while occupying the other, or the full rental of the premises. The lower floor has consistently generated demonstrable high tourist rental income while the owners occupied the main floor — a proven income model that requires no prior work. Full-property rental would increase that yield further.
The Benalmádena market consistently yields high returns for villas with sea views in consolidated areas. The valuation model is direct: plot + location + protected views + renovation = high-end local market asset. Villa Veracruz provides the first three variables; the fourth is provided by the buyer.
This purchase is specific to those who prioritize structural potential. The villa is fully functional in its current state — move-in ready as it stands — but would gain substantially in value through an update to contemporary standards, with strong evidence that renovation returns multiply reliably in this market. It represents a strategic opportunity for buyers capable of analyzing floor plans, calculating budgets, and understanding the sustained value of well-located square footage on the Costa del Sol.
