Full Description
The Address (Which Needs Little Introduction)
Tucked behind the 24-hour gates of El Madroñal—that hushed, hilltop enclave where privacy is currency and views are legal tender—this meticulously refurbished contemporary villa occupies prime elevated real estate above San Pedro. The Mediterranean stretches before you. Mountains frame the backdrop. Corsican pines perfume the air. It's the sort of setting that makes everyday life feel rather like a holiday, which is precisely the point.
The Aesthetic
A recent transformation has brought impeccable taste to bear: light-flooded interiors dressed in calming neutrals, expansive glazing that refuses to obstruct the panorama, and that seamless indoor-outdoor flow that southern Spain does better than anywhere else. The architecture doesn't shout—it simply steps aside and lets the landscape perform. Mature pines wrap the plot in natural shade and year-round greenery, because even paradise benefits from good bones and better landscaping.
The Life
Beyond the gates, El Madroñal unfolds in meandering lanes and near-monastic quiet—the kind of tranquillity that makes you remember what silence actually sounds like. Yet you're mere minutes from championship golf, golden beaches, and the sophisticated dining scene of Benahavís and Marbella's New Golden Mile. It's that increasingly rare equation: complete retreat with cosmopolitan access. Primary residence for the discerning, or holiday home for those who've outgrown compromise.
Country-club serenity. City proximity. Views that never get old.
Rather difficult to improve upon, really.
