DESCRIPTION

Located within the prestigious gated hillside estate of El Madroñal, in the municipality of Benahavís, this newly built architectural residence represents a rare combination of contemporary design, privacy and elevated panoramic views across the Mediterranean coastline and surrounding mountains. Scheduled for completion in 2025, this exceptional south-facing villa occupies a commanding position above the coast, offering uninterrupted sea and mountain views from almost every level. Designed by a highly regarded architect, the property has been conceived to deliver a refined lifestyle where architecture, technology and natural surroundings are seamlessly integrated. Set on a generous 4,149 m² plot, the villa offers approximately 1,028 m² of built area distributed across three levels, complemented by 492 m² of expansive terraces. A long private driveway leads to a striking main entrance, where a mature olive tree framed behind glass immediately establishes the tone of understated luxury and architectural presence. The main living level unfolds into an elegant open-plan lounge and dining area, centred around a contemporary fireplace and framed by full-height sliding glass doors. These open directly onto wide terraces, creating a fluid indoor-outdoor living experience ideal for both everyday enjoyment and large-scale entertaining. The state-of-the-art kitchen is equipped with premium Gaggenau appliances and is complemented by a discreet secondary chef’s kitchen, allowing seamless hosting while maintaining a refined main living environment. The villa features six spacious bedroom suites, each with its own private bathroom. The entire upper level is dedicated to an impressive master retreat, offering a private sea-view terrace, dual walk-in wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Every room has been carefully proportioned to provide privacy, comfort and abundant natural light. Throughout the home, craftsmanship and material quality are evident in every detail. Herringbone wooden flooring, custom leather-wrapped door handles, bespoke lighting controls inspired by automotive design, and electronically operated floor-to-ceiling windows and doors enhance both the aesthetic and functional performance of the home. Technical areas have been thoughtfully positioned outside the main structure, simplifying maintenance while preserving interior serenity. The lower level has been designed as a private wellness and entertainment environment, offering a fully equipped gym with both indoor and outdoor training areas, a private cinema room, games lounge, hammam, plunge pool and relaxation spaces. A two-bedroom guest apartment with independent access provides excellent accommodation for visitors or staff. Further features include a climate-controlled wine cellar, a private lift connecting all floors and a Zennio smart home system, ensuring complete control over lighting, climate and security. Outside, beautifully landscaped gardens surround a salt-water swimming pool, multiple sun terraces and an outdoor kitchen with dedicated dining and lounge areas. An automated irrigation system supports year-round landscaping, while parking is currently provided for four vehicles with the option to create a fully enclosed garage if required. The estate enjoys controlled access and 24-hour security, offering residents a discreet and highly secure environment. Positioned approximately 400 metres above sea level, the surrounding natural setting is defined by pine forests, cork oak and olive trees, with open views towards the Serranía de Ronda mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is located only minutes from daily amenities and within short driving distance of the beaches, Puerto Banús and Marbella. Golf enthusiasts benefit from proximity to leading courses such as La Quinta Golf & Country Club and Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club, while families have access to respected international schools including Aloha College and The British International School of Marbella. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a newly built contemporary villa in one of the most exclusive residential enclaves on the Costa del Sol, offering architectural distinction, absolute privacy and an elevated lifestyle in a prime hillside setting.
