Villa Mirador de La Concha

How many luxury villas in Sierra Blanca do you know that have won an international award? Villa Mirador de La Concha won the 2017 Maceal award for Best International Villa. It sits high up on Marbella's Golden Mile. And it could be the villa of your dreams.

Picture your first morning here. You step onto the terrace with your coffee and the Mediterranean is right in front of you. Behind you rises La Concha mountain. The house faces south, so the light stays with you from breakfast to dinner. And the plot is 5,850 m², more than three quarters of a football pitch.

Who designed it? The Spanish architect Jesús del Valle Cardenete, in a classic, almost palatial style that never dates. The entrance has Corinthian columns and a hall with an imposing double staircase. Your guests know where they are the moment they walk in.

Now think about the size. There are 2,442 m² built over four floors, like putting twenty-four large 100 m² flats together. And the lift reaches every floor, from the basement to the bedrooms. The day the stairs start to feel heavy, you will still move around your whole home. Just like today.

Everyday life happens on the ground floor. The living room has two open fireplaces. In winter, the family can gather by one fire and your guests by the other. The dining room is right next door, so the conversation carries on without anyone moving.

Who does the cooking in your house? Here it doesn't matter, because there are two kitchens. The main one has a central island, so you can cook while chatting with whoever is sitting with you. And the service kitchen keeps all the work of a big dinner out of sight.

Do you sometimes work from home? On that same floor there is a study, a storeroom and two guest toilets. So you can receive someone without them walking through the private areas. The kids have a games room with a bar and a TV room. They make their noise there while you enjoy the living room in peace.

Of the ten bedrooms, eight are for the family and guests, and all of them have their own bathroom. Three are on the ground floor, designed for visitors. Your friends or your in-laws can stay a week at their own pace. Without crossing paths with yours.

And your bedroom? The master suite has a bathroom and dressing room for him and for her, a sitting area and a sea-view terrace. The other four family bedrooms have a bathroom, dressing room, sitting area and private terrace. When your children grow up, each will have almost their own little apartment. What's more, teenagers really appreciate that.

Do you like eating outdoors? In Marbella you feel like it almost all year. The living and dining rooms open onto 836 m² of covered terraces, more than four padel courts together. There is also a large barbecue area. You eat in the shade, with the sea in front and the kitchen a few steps away.

Go down to the garden and the infinity pool is waiting. The water seems to run on to the horizon. Around it there are sunbathing areas, the sound of water in the background and plenty of lawn. The children have all the room they need to run and play ball.

Now go down to the basement, which is almost another house. It has a garage for eight cars, so yours and your visitors' all fit. There is a wine cellar for the bottles you will open on special occasions. And an 11-seat cinema to watch the latest release with family and friends.

By the way, the spa is down there too. It has a heated pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath, gym, massage room, bathroom and two showers. You swim in January just like in August. And you train whenever it suits you.

There is one part almost nobody sees that changes everything. The staff live in the basement, with two one-bedroom apartments and their own dining room. The laundry and the plant room are there too. Your team has its privacy, and so do you.

Have you noticed the ceilings? They are very high throughout the house, and the direct and indirect lighting is beautifully done. There is home automation, underfloor heating to walk barefoot in winter and air conditioning for summer. Double glazing keeps out heat and noise. And the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes.

The house has an alarm and 24-hour security. You sleep soundly every night. And when you travel, you close the door knowing the house will be waiting just as you left it. It is also in excellent condition, so you arrive, unpack and start living.

I have more photos and the full floor plans. I'll send them 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 sell only luxury villas in Marbella over 3 million.

I know what worries you when a villa costs almost 26 million: overpaying and finding out later. I have been an agent for more than twelve years and I know every area of Marbella. I know what has really been paid in Sierra Blanca. So before you make an offer, I tell you whether the price makes sense. And I negotiate for you.

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 having breakfast on your terrace, with the sea ahead and La Concha behind you? Then write to me. If Villa Mirador de La Concha is your home, I'll tell you. And if it isn't, we'll find the one that is together.

An award-winning villa, ready to move into, high on the Golden Mile, does not stay available for long. If you want to see it before anyone else, write to me today.
