Villa Lumbre de El Madroñal

Have you ever lit a fire while looking at the sea? At Villa Lumbre de El Madroñal, a contemporary luxury villa in the hills of Benahavís, you have two: one inside, in the living room, and a gas one outside, on the terrace.

An autumn evening here goes like this. The pool lit up, the fire burning on the terrace, a blanket over your knees and the Mediterranean in the distance, with the lights of the coast. And no sound but the hills.

The house is in the gated community of El Madroñal, surrounded by nature. It has 1,445 m² built on a 5,100 m² plot, almost three quarters of a football pitch. The views of the sea and the mountains are panoramic.

A large family or lots of guests? There are eight bedrooms, and all eight are suites with their own bathroom. There are also guest bathrooms. Everyone has privacy, even when the house is full.

The heart of the house is a large open living and dining room. The windows run from floor to ceiling and fill everything with light. Look how they frame the sea, like a painting that changes every hour.

The kitchen is Gaggenau, state of the art, with top-of-the-range appliances. It is a kitchen for people who really cook, with room for everyone when it is time for a snack.

Outside there are several terraces, some covered and some open. There is room to eat, to relax in the sun and to entertain. And a solarium, to sunbathe in complete peace.

The infinity pool is saltwater, heated and with an automatic cover. Saltwater is gentler on the skin. The heating extends the swimming season. And the cover keeps the water clean and warm without you lifting a finger.

By the way, for the evenings you have a private cinema. And a climate-controlled wine cellar to keep your wines at just the right temperature. Dinner, a film and a good bottle, without leaving home.

Wellness is taken care of too. A sauna and a Turkish bath, to end the week relaxed. And the bar, to welcome friends.

The El Madroñal estate is gated. You live privately, in a peaceful setting, and you travel knowing the house stays in a protected place.

The parking is private and there is room for several cars. The orientation is south, so you will have sun all day by the pool and on the terraces.

And you are just 10 minutes from Marbella. Beaches, international schools, golf courses and restaurants are very close. You live in nature without giving anything up.

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.

When we are talking about almost 11 million, it is natural to fear paying too much. Especially in an area like this, where every house is different. I have spent more than twelve years selling only luxury villas in Marbella and I know what has been paid for similar houses. Before making an offer, I show you those figures. And I negotiate for you, so the final price makes sense.

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 on the terrace, with the pool lit up and the sea beyond? Then write to me. If Villa Lumbre de El Madroñal is your home, I will tell you. And if it is not, we will find the one that is together.

Contemporary villas with eight suites and sea views in El Madroñal can be counted on one hand. If it suits you, do not let it go.
