Property Description

Perched in the hills above San Pedro de Alcántara, within the prestigious gated community of El Madroñal, this exceptional Andalusian estate is a true architectural masterpiece designed by renowned architect César de Leyva. Spanning two expansive plots and surrounded by mature pine trees and lush natural landscaping, the property offers total privacy, 24-hour security, and sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea, La Quinta Golf Course, and the surrounding mountains.

Located on the Ronda Road, El Madroñal is one of Marbella’s most exclusive residential enclaves, known for its tranquility, natural beauty, and elevated views. Despite its peaceful, countryside feel, it is just a 10-minute drive from the vibrant coastal town of San Pedro de Alcántara, with its shops, restaurants, and beaches. The glamorous Puerto Banús marina is only 15 minutes away, offering world-class dining, designer boutiques, and a lively nightlife scene. Marbella town center is approximately 20 minutes away, making this an ideal location for those seeking both privacy and convenience.

A charming cobbled courtyard with a central fountain sets an elegant tone upon arrival. To the right, a double garage and a private staff apartment with its own entrance and parking offer functional luxury, with potential to expand the garage to accommodate four or five cars if desired.

Inside, the grand entrance hall makes a striking impression with its triple-height ceilings, exposed wooden beams, a dramatic fireplace, and a guest cloakroom. From here, the home flows effortlessly into the main living spaces, where traditional Andalusian character meets contemporary comfort and scale. The inviting TV room and the formal dining room—both with fireplaces and direct garden access—create warm, intimate areas for relaxing and entertaining. The dining room connects to a generous, impeccably finished kitchen featuring wooden floors, an informal dining area, and a cozy fireplace, perfectly suited for family living and hosting.

The formal living room spans approximately 70 m² and centers around a fireplace, opening onto a covered terrace framed by wooden beams and a serene garden. Opposite, French doors lead to a classic Andalusian courtyard adorned with hand-selected pebbles from Granada and anchored by a beautiful fountain—a tranquil heart of the home.

The property includes multiple en suite bedrooms, among them a luxurious ground-floor suite complete with a private lounge and sea-facing terrace. A charming guest house near the pool offers fully independent accommodation, ideal for visitors or extended family.

A standout feature is the characterful study added in 2013, discreetly accessed via a hidden door. With double-height cathedral ceilings, wooden flooring, a fireplace, and access to both the courtyard and a private balcony, it’s a space full of inspiration and warmth.

Upstairs, the master suite offers a private retreat, complete with a salon area, wooden walk-in wardrobe, fireplace, and a private terrace with breathtaking sea views. The en suite bathroom is equally refined, also featuring its own fireplace. A second bedroom and a vaulted-ceiling study complete the upper level.

On the lower floor, additional flexible living space includes an en suite bedroom with its own lounge and garden access. Also added in 2013 are two more en suite bedrooms with a shared balcony, as well as a vast, cozy TV/games room, a stunning wine cellar, and a guest toilet.

Modern conveniences include underfloor gas heating, double-glazed windows, traditional wooden shutters, and eight fireplaces throughout. Flooring is a blend of ceramic and marble, with striking white marble featured in the main living areas.

The grounds are nothing short of spectacular. A beautifully landscaped garden unfolds around a large swimming pool, accompanied by two gazebos—one featuring a Jacuzzi. A charming pine-shaded pathway leads to a floodlit tennis court, complete with toilet and storage facilities. The property is further enriched by mature pomegranate, fig, orange, and olive trees, adding a touch of Mediterranean charm.

Built in 2000 and meticulously maintained, this estate presents a rare opportunity to own a grand and peaceful retreat in one of Marbella’s most sought-after communities—offering total seclusion while remaining just minutes from all major amenities and the coast.
