Villa Lago del Club

What would it be like to have the golf course at your door and lunch by a lake every weekend? Villa Lago del Club is a luxury villa in Benahavís, frontline golf inside Marbella Club Golf Resort. The clubhouse, with its Mediterranean cuisine and lake views, is a short stroll away.

Imagine stepping into the garden with your clubs, crossing to the fairway and starting to play. On your way back, a swim in the pool as the sun sets over Gibraltar. And for dinner, the clubhouse or your own outdoor kitchen.

The course has 18 holes and was designed by Dave Thomas. The resort is also home to the stables where the Spanish Show Jumping Championship is held. It is a place of hills, woodland and beautifully kept fairways, with complete privacy.

The house is an Andalusian-inspired mansion with a contemporary feel, recently renovated. It has 937 m² built, 156 m² of terraces and a 4,974 m² plot, almost three quarters of a football pitch. Facing south, it gets sun from dawn to dusk.

And do you know the best part? The pool. It is 113 m², heated, with an electric cover and solar panels just for heating the water. You enjoy it all year and spend little to keep it warm.

The living room has a glass fireplace and windows that frame the pool, the garden and the sea. Next to it are the TV room and the formal dining room. And the open kitchen, with Gaggenau appliances and a Scandinavian style, for everyday life and for dinners with guests.

On the ground floor there are two suites opening straight onto the garden, surrounded by stone details. Upstairs, the master suite with a made-to-measure wooden dressing room and a marble bathroom whose sculptural bathtub looks out to the sea and Gibraltar. And two more bedrooms with a full bathroom.

To look after yourself you have a gym, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. For fun, a Bang & Olufsen cinema, a lounge with a bar and a games room. And a guest apartment for longer visits.

The terraces have panoramic views of the sea, Gibraltar and North Africa. The outdoor kitchen with barbecue is the centre of summer meals.

The house has a basement and an underground garage. The cars are kept under cover beneath the house, and the garden and entrance always look clear. In total there is room for up to ten vehicles.

The resort is a gated enclave with 24-hour security. The villa has perimeter alarms, surveillance cameras, electric shutters and a safe. Do not worry, here you go travelling without thinking about the house. And you sleep every night without a care.

Inside it is comfortable all year: TecnoClima climate control, hot and cold air conditioning, central heating and underfloor heating. Double glazing, marble floors, fitted wardrobes, wifi and satellite TV. And it is sold furnished.

Practical life is close at hand. Ten minutes away, a supermarket, a shopping centre and international schools such as Colegio Atalaya and American School Atlas. The beach is about fifteen.

I have more photos 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 only sell luxury villas in Marbella over 3 million.

I know your time is valuable. And that you do not want to spend weeks on viewings, calls and paperwork. In more than twelve years I have learned to organise everything so that you only need to appear when it really matters. I prepare the viewings, sift the documentation and talk to every professional. You receive a clear summary and decide.

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 finishing a round of golf and having lunch overlooking the lake, two steps from home? Then write to me. If Villa Lago del Club is your home, I will tell you. And if it is not, we will find the one that is together.

Frontline golf houses inside this resort are not plentiful. If it suits you, let us talk this very week.
