09 - 5 Bed Luxury Villa walking distance to the be

STUNNING COASTAL VIEWS AND HEATED POOL.

As soon as you swing back the door to this generously-sized villa, you’ll know you made the right choice of holiday getaway. Awaiting your arrival are some downright jaw-dropping vistas. The elevated location, seemingly on top of the world, affords 180 degrees of unbroken sea views, encompassing Gibraltar and Africa.

The front door opens to reveal a charming entrance infused with natural light from an overhead skylight. Colourful wall tiles and ornamental wrought iron work lend a flash of Andalusian flair, setting the tone for the holiday. Based on the principles of simplicity and natural beauty, the décor and furnishing are understated yet stylish. The interior is designed so that the postcard vistas this villa commands are nearly always in sight.

Set over three levels, the villa is perfect for entertaining, with a spacious layout offering 5 bedrooms. On the entry level you will find an open plan living/dining room, fronted by a huge covered terrace with lounging and dining areas. Occupying pride of place at the front of the house is a sparkling pool, surrounded by a lawn and tiled deck with sun loungers. The swimming pool is 8m x 4m and has a depth of 1m - 2m. Back inside, there is a well-appointed kitchen, making meal preparation a treat. Its design, with high-end appliances, a large granite island bench/breakfast bar, reflects the owner’s passion for cooking. There are two coffee machines. A traditional one with beans and a Nespresso one. Still on the ground floor, off the entrance hall is the first en suite bedroom.

Found on the upper floor are 3 en suite bedrooms, with the master suite privy to spectacular ocean views, which can be savoured from the private balcony. The staircase landing features a cosy reading nook with a bookcase and comfy armchair. One more level up is the huge roof terrace housing the fifth bedroom and a separate bathroom. (the bathroom is accessed by walking a few meters on the roof terrace, outside) All mod cons including high speed Internet, IPTV and air conditioning throughout. Oh, we almost forgot to mention the delightful little vegetable/ herb patch under the house. So you can just snip some fresh herbs to garnish and flavour your cooking or better yet grab a bunch of mint for mojitos at sunset.

Pool heating is optional at €300/week

The property is located in a no party urbanisation. There is to be no late night noise nor any anti-social / disruptive behaviour.

LOCATION:

The villa is situated in the highly desirable neighbourhood of Seghers, Estepona. Set on a gentle hillside, Seghers commands some fabulous sea views. It is a peaceful and well maintained community, favoured by those looking for a quiet setting but with quick access to amenities. The marina is a short walk away and the town centre a 5-minute drive. The popular family beach, Playa de Cristo with its shallow waters, is also within walking distance. The Police Station is at its entrance, just in case.

Estepona is located some 25 km west of Marbella and en route to Sotogrande and Gibraltar. It is sheltered on the north by the striking Sierra Bermeja mountain range. Fronting the full length of the town is a wide sweeping beach, complemented by a beautiful promenade with kids’ playgrounds, restaurants, bars, etc.

Like a lot of coastal towns in southern Spain, Estepona started out as a fishing village and has developed organically over centuries rather than rapidly over decades. As a result, it is still refreshingly low key and has retained its pueblo atmosphere with a characterful old town full of narrow cobbled streets and tiny plazas edged with cafes. Its palm-tree lined avenues, parks thick with flowers and streets full of plant blooms, spilling out of the pretty pots have earned Estepona the sobriquet “The Garden of the Costa del Sol”.

Estepona has undergone a major makeover and one of the projects has been the street murals on the sides of buildings, intended to regenerate some of the derelict neighbourhoods. These murals, scattered around the town, have transformed the walls into impressive pieces of art.

Estepona has a working fishing port where you can watch the boats return with their catch. The adjoining Marina is home to numerous bars and restaurants, which are even livelier at night. It’s a great place to admire the small pleasure craft moored or to hire a boat. The marina is also the site of a very popular Sunday market.

Estepona has so much more to offer than a beach centred holiday and a trip up to the Sierra Bermeja at sunset is a magical and memorable occasion. View it as the sun is going down and it radiates a red glow, giving it the name Sierra Bermeja – Red range. Just be careful on the drive down, though as the route is very steep and winding.
