Description
This is an exceptional contemporary villa designed by Paul Vanrunxt, set in the hills of Los Altos de los Monteros.
Its precise architecture, calm interiors finished in natural materials and carefully framed views create a home of remarkable clarity, with expansive living spaces opening towards the Mediterranean.
The outdoor spaces were conceived as an integral part of the architecture itself. Terraces, courtyards, water and mature olive trees create a quiet connection with the surrounding landscape, while carefully positioned openings draw natural light and Mediterranean views deep into the house.
Inside, the focus is on proportion, natural light and material restraint. Open spaces flow naturally into one another, while carefully placed walls and changes in perspective give each area its own sense of intimacy.
The villa is arranged over two floors, with the principal family living spaces located on the main level. Here, the inviting living kitchen, TV lounge, office and three family bedrooms are brought together around the main outdoor areas.
The living kitchen is designed as a true centre of the home, with a fully fitted kitchen and natural stone countertops as well as a breakfast corner with gorgeous panoramic sea views. It also features a generous walk-in refrigerator.
The TV lounge, living kitchen and outdoor lounge each feature a fireplace, adding warmth and a sense of comfort to the home throughout the year.
In the principal living spaces, 3.5-metre-high ceilings and full-height windows reinforce the sense of volume and allow the surrounding landscape to become part of the interior.
The main level opens onto the pool and principal terrace, with a series of intimate spaces for outdoor dining, lounging and relaxing.
The result is a setting equally suited to relaxed family life and entertaining, where refined architectural lines meet the natural character of the Andalusian landscape, with the Mediterranean stretching out below.
The lower level provides a distinct guest and amenity area, with two private suites and an independent one-bedroom staff apartment.
It also houses an exceptional garage with capacity for up to 12 cars, a dedicated laundry room and a substantial gallery space that offers the flexibility to become a gym, home cinema, spa or other private amenity.
Behind its architectural focus, the villa incorporates modern systems designed for year-round comfort and ease of living.
Underfloor heating extends throughout the villa and is powered by an energy-efficient heat-pump system, while integrated air-conditioning provides climate control throughout the home. For further energy efficiency, the house is equipped with photovoltaic panels.
A lift shaft has also been prepared, allowing a lift to be installed in the future should the owners wish to further enhance the connection between the two levels.
Together with the generous service and storage areas, these features ensure that the house combines the character and individuality of a carefully designed architectural home with the practical comforts expected of a contemporary luxury residence.
This is a rare property within the Marbella luxury residential market — a home where architecture, landscape and lifestyle have been considered as one.
