Villa Horizonte de África

Have you ever seen Africa from your living room? At Villa Horizonte de África, a new-build luxury villa in El Madroñal, Benahavís, on clear days you can see the coast all the way to Gibraltar and, beyond it, North Africa.

Now stand on the terrace at sunset. The fire pit lit, the table set for dinner outdoors and the infinity pool in front of you, merging with the sea. This is how summer days end here.

The villa is part of a new, exclusive project surrounded by golf. It has 1,107 m² built over three levels. And a 3,757 m² plot, more than half a football pitch, with landscaped gardens all around.

Six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and its own terrace facing the sea and the golf course. It does not matter who sleeps where. Everyone wakes up to the same views.

The main floor revolves around the kitchen, which is double height and full of light. The living room opens straight onto the terrace, with its dining area, its lounge and the pool. The windows are electric and move with a remote. You open the whole house to the garden without getting up from the sofa.

How many kitchens does a normal house have? This one has four. The main kitchen, a service kitchen, one for the staff and an outdoor one by the barbecue. When you host a big dinner, whoever cooks works in peace and you stay with your guests.

Upstairs is your suite, with a dressing room, bathroom and private terrace. On that floor you also have a study and a library. You work or read with the sea in front of you, in silence. Across the hall there are two more bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and terrace.

And downstairs the fun begins. The lower level has a cinema, a wine cellar, a bar and a room with billiards and places to chat. That is where evenings with friends end up. And the teenagers watch their films without disturbing the rest of the house.

Honestly, the spa and the gym have sea views, which is rare on a lower floor. There is a sauna and a jacuzzi, and a heated indoor pool for swimming in winter. Outside, the floating infinity pool with its jacuzzi. Two pools, one for each season.

The three floors are connected by a lift. Carrying the shopping or the suitcases is no longer an effort. And over the years, when the stairs feel long, you will still live in the whole house.

There is also a service apartment with its own kitchen, living room and bathroom. The staff live independently. And you keep your privacy.

Everything is controlled from your phone. It is a smart home: lights, climate and more in your hand, even when you are travelling. There is underfloor heating for the winters and hot and cold air conditioning for the rest of the year. And a laundry and storage room so the clutter stays out of sight.

The villa is in a gated community, with an alarm and entry phone. Do not worry: when you go away, the house stays protected. And you sleep every night without a care.

The private garage has room for three cars, with a charging point for an electric one. And outside there is parking for three more. A new road connection is also planned that will bring the area even closer.

I have more images and the complete plans. I will send them to you as soon as you write to me.

And before you look at another luxury villa on this website, I want you to know one thing. I am one of the few agents who work only with luxury villas in Marbella over 3 million.

When a house is newly built, it is normal to wonder whether everything is in order. Licences, timelines, what can be built and what cannot. In more than twelve years as an agent I have seen it all on this coast. Before you sign anything, I ask for all the project documentation. And I go through it point by point with your lawyer, so you buy knowing exactly what you are buying.

When you work with me, you always talk to me. From the first call to the day I hand you the keys. Have you pictured yourself by the fire pit, watching the sun set over Gibraltar? Then write to me. If Villa Horizonte de África is your home, I will tell you. And if it is not, we will find the one that is together.

In new projects with views like these, villas are reserved early. The sooner we talk, the more options you will have.
