Villa Rincón del Agua

Have you ever sat with the pool water at eye level? At Villa Rincón del Agua, a luxury villa in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella, you can do it every afternoon. Next to the pool there is a sunken lounge with its own made-to-measure bar.

Picture it at sunset. The children still in the water, you in that corner with a drink, and friends arriving for dinner. The pool day turns into an evening gathering without anyone moving.

The house has just been renovated and is designed for families. It has 603 m² built, 342 m² of terraces and a 2,209 m² plot, almost a third of a football pitch. The layout is practical: everyone finds their corner and nobody feels left out.

There are six bedrooms and seven full bathrooms, plus a guest toilet. No queues in the morning. And when the grandparents or the children's friends come, there is room for everyone.

Inside, the living and dining rooms form one open space, with high ceilings and direct access to the terraces. Lots of light comes in. And the subtle design details give it an elegant feel without being cold.

The kitchen is made to measure. It is modern and very practical, the kind that is a pleasure when you cook for the whole family every day.

Do you work from home? You have a separate study. You close the door, make your calls and when you finish you are two steps from the pool.

Look, what you will appreciate most day to day is the private spa and the fully equipped gym. You have a jacuzzi to relax after training. You look after yourself without wasting time travelling.

The house has a basement, with a storage room for suitcases, bikes and everything you do not want on show. The living space upstairs stays clear and tidy.

Outside, the covered and private terraces give shade in summer. The barbecue is ready for Sundays. And the private garden surrounds the pool so the children play in sight.

The villa is in a gated community and has an alarm. This, mind you, is what lets you sleep peacefully. And when you go on holiday, you know the house is protected.

It has air conditioning for the hot days and covered parking for several cars. You come home with the car in the shade, even in August.

The orientation is south-west, with sun until late in the afternoon. Just when that corner by the water is most inviting.

And everything you need is close by. Golf courses, international schools, shops and Puerto Banús, a few minutes away by car.

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 can look beautiful in photos and then not fit the way you live. Where the children sleep, where you work, how the family moves around the house. In more than twelve years as an agent I have learned to look at houses through the eyes of those who will live in them. Before the viewing I go over your routine with you. And in the house I show you what an ordinary day there would be like, from morning to night.

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 in the sunken lounge with a drink, while the children enjoy one last swim? Then write to me. If Villa Rincón del Agua is your home, I will tell you. And if it is not, we will find the one that is together.

A renovated house ready for families, so close to the schools, moves fast. Better to see it soon.
