Villa Pabellón de Guadalmina

Where would you hold the next family birthday if you had your own pavilion in the garden? At Villa Pabellón de Guadalmina, a luxury villa in Guadalmina Baja, Marbella, it is right by the pool, ready for cocktails and long summer lunches.

Picture a Saturday in July. The table set under the pavilion, the barbecue lit in the outdoor kitchen and the children in the heated pool. And all around, nothing but garden. No neighbours on top of you and no noise.

Guadalmina Baja is one of the quietest residential areas on the Costa del Sol, with wide avenues and lots of greenery. And in a few minutes you are in Puerto Banús, San Pedro, the Golf Valley or the centre of Marbella.

The plot is flat and exceeds 4,500 m², almost two thirds of a football pitch. The house has 1,018 m² over three floors and 500 m² of terraces. The orientation is south-west, with sun until sunset.

As you walk in, a double-height hall full of light. Then a beautifully proportioned living room, a TV room with a fireplace and a formal dining room. Everything opens onto the terraces and the garden. Life flows from inside to outside without you noticing.

The gourmet kitchen is the heart of the house. It has top-of-the-range appliances, a double fridge, a wine cooler and plenty of storage. It connects to both the formal and the everyday dining areas. It works just as well for an everyday breakfast as for a dinner for twenty.

Of the six bedrooms, three are on the main floor. Two are guest rooms, with their own bathroom and fitted wardrobes. The third is your suite, with a private terrace, two bathrooms, one each, and made-to-measure dressing rooms. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms with bathrooms, a games room and a large terrace overlooking the garden.

The three floors are connected by a lift, and the house is adapted for people with reduced mobility. Today it saves you carrying the shopping. And one day, when the stairs feel heavy, you will still reach every corner just as you do now.

And do you know the best part? The basement. There you find the independent apartment for guests or staff, a large wine cellar and a full gym. Also the laundry, a guest toilet and several storerooms. Everything noisy or bulky stays downstairs, and upstairs you simply live.

Security has been carefully thought out. There are 14 outdoor cameras you control from your phone, an alarm, a safe and an entry phone. And the villa is in a gated area with 24-hour security. You sleep peacefully. And wherever you are, you look at your house on your phone and know all is well.

Look, you will not be short of space for cars. There is a garage for six and a covered carport for four more, with a private entrance. Your guests arrive and come in with complete discretion.

Technology makes life easier. Smart home, underfloor heating throughout, integrated air conditioning and ceiling speakers in the main rooms. Double glazing, glass sliding doors and electric shutters. And solar panels that cut energy costs.

There is also a sauna and a guest house. And it is sold furnished, so you can move in from day one.

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.

A house with this garden and these facilities does not stop at the purchase price. There are taxes, the notary, maintenance, the gardener, the pool, security. And many buyers find out too late. In more than twelve years selling luxury villas in Marbella I have seen what it really costs to run each kind of house. Before you decide, I prepare a clear account of the total cost, of the purchase and of each year. So you buy with the numbers on the table.

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 under the pavilion, with the family around the table and the pool beside you? Then write to me. If Villa Pabellón de Guadalmina is your home, I will tell you. And if it is not, we will find the one that is together.

Flat plots of this size in Guadalmina Baja hardly ever come onto the market. This one deserves to be seen soon.
