Villa Valle de Piedra

What would you do if you could design the luxury villa of your dreams in La Quinta, Marbella, before it even exists? With Villa Valle de Piedra you can. The plot already has plans and a valid building licence. And the house is still waiting to be built.

Imagine opening your eyes and seeing the Mediterranean at the end of a valley, between two hills. Without a single house in front. That is what you will see every morning from here. The plot is 11,178 m², more than one and a half football pitches.

Look at how it has been designed. The house sinks into the hillside, as if it had always been there. It is clad in the same greyish stone as the valley. So when you drive up, from a distance it looks like part of the mountain.

Inside, the windows disappear into the walls. Water runs through the house and there are living walls covered in plants. From the sofa in the living room, honestly, it is hard to tell where your house ends and the valley begins.

And inside? There are 2,443 m² spread over three floors. It has eight bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and thirteen bathrooms. The three floors are connected by a lift. So the day the stairs start to feel heavy, you will still move around the whole house. Just like today.

Of those eight bedrooms, three are suites with their own living area and their own kitchen. They are designed for your parents or your grown-up children. They live with you and still have their own home. They can stay for weeks and everyone keeps their privacy and their own routine.

Here the pool is enjoyed twelve months a year. Outside you have a pool and a jacuzzi for long sunny afternoons looking at the sea. And two bathrooms with outdoor showers, so the children do not walk through the living room dripping wet. Inside there is another heated pool and jacuzzi. So you keep swimming in January even when it is cool outside.

After a long day, you go down to the spa in your bathrobe. You have a sauna and a steam bath a few steps from your bedroom. And in the morning you train in your own gym, with the valley in front of you. Whenever it suits you.

And here is what will make your children never want to leave home. It has a cinema, a games room and a bowling alley. Yes, a bowling alley inside the house. Birthdays and their friends' visits stay here, and you have them close by.

And for you? The library, the quiet corner of the house to read with the valley in the background. And the wine cellar, where you keep the bottles you will open when your loved ones come.

Do you often have people over? The house has two kitchens. A chef's kitchen, set apart, so no noise or smells reach the living room. And an open one, to cook in front of your guests while you chat. There is also a dining room for special occasions and another for every day. And a garage for nine cars.

And do you know the best part? Everything runs by itself. It is a smart home, with music in every corner, inside and out. It has underfloor heating to walk barefoot in winter, air conditioning and a fireplace. Double glazing keeps the heat and the noise out. And it uses less energy. Because the hot water comes from the sun and rainwater is collected to water the garden.

There are two things you do not see but notice every day. The laundry and the plant room are in the basement. Everything that makes noise or takes up space stays downstairs, far from where you live.

And the villa is in a gated community with 24-hour security. You sleep peacefully every night. And when you go travelling, you close the door knowing the house will be waiting for you just as you left it.

There are two ways to make it yours. You can buy the plot with the project and the licence. And build it at your own pace and to your own measure. Or buy it off-plan at a price we agree and receive it finished, keys in hand.

I have more renders 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.

Look, I know that putting almost 29 million into a house that does not exist yet is daunting. Even for someone who can easily afford it. In more than twelve years as an agent I have learned to see what each house is really worth. That is why, before you take a step, I compare it with what has sold in the area. And I negotiate for you, so you pay what it is really worth.

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 going down to the spa in your bathrobe, or watching your children play in the bowling alley? Then write to me. If Villa Valle de Piedra is your home, I will tell you. And if it is not, we will find the one that is together.

An off-plan villa can be changed while it does not exist yet. The sooner we talk, the more you will decide.
