El Madroñal

Quite possibly the most beautiful home on the Costa del Sol.

Located in El Madroñal, a prestigious and gated residential community surrounded by cork oak and pine forests, nestled in the mountains above San Pedro and just a 15 minute drive from Marbella. This stunning home is a perfect example of positioning the right property in the right location, lovingly built and then tastefully decorated and furnished with the utmost attention to detail. A home that is a haven of tranquillity and privacy.

Once through the solid security gates the property’s entrance opens to a welcoming courtyard with ivy covered walls. The house is accessed through antique wooden doors where the entrance hall with double height ceiling and welcoming fireplace can lead you to the house in 3 different ways. Choose to walk through the central courtyard filled with aromatic plants, through to the kitchen area or to the living areas, each one in turn connecting seamlessly with the other.

The TV room, the living room and the covered terrace on the East wing of the house all enjoy breath taking dramatic views of the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding mountains including the iconic La Concha mountain which sits behind Marbella. The living room and dining room both have hand crafted fireplaces, the dining room also has a hand painted decorative ceiling, these more formal rooms leading to a beautiful and large farm style kitchen and onto large terraces and the garden where you can capture sun, shade and panoramic views. There is also a preparatory kitchen which has a separate entrance for deliveries or caterers. Also on this level is a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

On the first floor level are 4 stunning bedroom suites. The master suite has a feature ceiling, a fireplace, his and hers dressing rooms and a beautiful en-suite bathroom. The small private terrace has spectacular views of La Concha Mountain and each day’s sunrise. On this level the beautiful wooden floors are complimented by high ceilings which have exposed beams or are hand painted, all the rooms are very well proportioned, all the bedrooms have double glazed, painted wooden doors that open onto wrought iron balconies and the spectacular views.

The entrance courtyard has a generous garage with adjoining storerooms, and a studio with panoramic views, currently used as an artist’s studio but easily converted into an office or additional accommodation. Stairs lead down to the self-contained staff or guest accommodation which consists of a bedroom, en-suite bathroom, living room, kitchen and private terrace. There is also a separate entrance and parking for staff.

Outside are beautiful gardens filled with fruit trees, cork trees and a swimming pool. The house is fully air conditioned and all rooms have underfloor heating, double glazed windows and doors and a multi room smart music system.
