Beautifully renovated villa in El Madroñal, Benahavís near Marbella on the Costa del Sol

El Madroñal family villa, carefully renovated in a relaxing Scandinavian style with modern finishes, standing in a large secluded plot on the hillside in this prestigious gated community. This is a wonderful location to enjoy the peace and quiet and open views of the Mediterranean coastline, whilst being secure in the fact that all the amenities of Marbella and the Costa del Sol are just a short drive away and easily accessible. This includes Marbella Old Town, the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús with its beaches, designer shopping and marina. The AP7 highway is down the road and provides for easy commuting to Malaga and the airport.

El Madroñal is a highly regarded established community of luxury properties in the Benahavís area with 24-hour security and amazing views set in the cork and pine trees.

The villa stands in a plot of 9600 square metres, giving it a great deal of privacy. It enjoys a south and west facing aspect to make the most of the Mediterranean sunshine. The renovation of the interior has been carefully programmed to include a refined palette of naturally locally inspired finishes with Moroccan limestone floors, lime plastered walls, featured natural stone, timber, and metallic details, all of which have been chosen for their beauty and longevity.

The living rooms are elegant and spacious, with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling teak framed double-glazed doors leading out to the terraces and gardens beyond. There is a stunning kitchen with central island unit which has been built in solid oak by Mobalco. It features a Taj Mahal quartz worktop together with a full range of Gaggenau appliances. There is a bespoke coffee station together with a separate pantry and a utility room.

The home features four bedrooms, all of which have wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.

On the lower floor there is an independent gym which could easily be transformed into an additional guest suite if needed, with a separate entrance.

The gardens and pool area are beautifully landscaped, combining with extensive terraces for relaxing, entertaining and dining al fresco. The garden has been carefully planted with drought-tolerant planting to suit the Mediterranean climate.

Hot and cold air conditioning is combined with underfloor heating and double glazing in teak window frames.

This is a beautiful family home which will appeal to Costa del Sol buyers who appreciate understated luxury in an exclusive location which affords a great deal of privacy while still allowing for easy access to all the amenities and attractions of the Marbella area.
