Villa Piedra Andaluza

What is it about an Andalusian house that makes you feel at home the moment you step inside? At Villa Piedra Andaluza, a luxury villa in Benahavís, it is the blend of stone, light and garden. And all of it inside Marbella Club Golf Resort, one of the most peaceful enclaves on the coast.

Now think of a spring morning. You open your bedroom door and step straight into the garden, among stone details and plants, with the sea in the distance. Coffee is taken outside, in silence.

The house is an Andalusian-style mansion with contemporary touches. It has 937 m² built on a 4,974 m² plot, almost three quarters of a football pitch. And it faces south, so it has sun from sunrise to sunset.

The two en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor open straight onto the garden. They are perfect for the grandparents, for guests or for anyone who wants no stairs. Each has its privacy and its own piece of garden.

The living room is spacious and has a glass fireplace that becomes the heart of the house in winter. From there you see the pool, the garden and the Mediterranean. Next to it, a TV room and a formal dining room for entertaining.

The kitchen is open, with Gaggenau appliances and a very elegant Scandinavian look. It is a pleasure to cook in every day and also when guests are over.

Upstairs is the master suite. It has a made-to-measure dressing room and a marble bathroom with a sculptural bathtub from which you see the sea and Gibraltar. On that floor there are two more bedrooms and a full bathroom.

The pool is 113 m², heated and with an electric cover. Solar panels heat the water. By the way, that means swimming in November in warm water, and spending little.

For wellness you have a private gym, sauna and steam room. And for the evenings, a cinema with Bang & Olufsen technology. Plans at home that need no booking.

Outside, wide terraces with views of the sea, Gibraltar and Africa. An outdoor kitchen with barbecue for meals in the open air. And a solarium to sunbathe at your leisure.

The resort is a secure enclave, and the villa has perimeter alarms and surveillance cameras. You sleep peacefully, and if you go away for a while, the house stays protected.

There is room to park up to ten cars, with a closed garage and covered carports. Visitors are never a problem.

Within the resort you have an 18-hole golf course designed by Dave Thomas, a renowned equestrian centre and the clubhouse, with fine food and lake views. And it is sold furnished, so you can move in without waiting.

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.

If you live outside Spain, buying here can feel like a maze: NIE, taxes, bank account, notary, all in another language. Honestly, it is one of the things that holds my foreign clients back most. After more than twelve years I can tell you there is a way through. I explain every step in Spanish or in English, and I put you in touch with lawyers and tax advisers who understand your case. That way you know what comes at each stage and nothing takes you by surprise.

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 stepping out of your bedroom into the garden, coffee in hand and the sea beyond? Then write to me. If Villa Piedra Andaluza is your home, I will tell you. And if it is not, we will find the one that is together.

A mansion like this, ready to move into and with these views, does not stay on the market for long. If you like it, better see it soon.
