Chalet 4 rooms, Montemayor-Marbella Club, Benahavís

This 4 bed, 4.5 bath villa can be found nestled in the hills of the exclusive Marbella Club Golf Resort with its own equestrian centre. West facing, the panoramic views are of the surrounding golf course, mountains and coast line. The actual house has an impressive, sweeping driveway that leads to the front door where the views are immediately visible through a floor to ceiling glass wall. There is amply space for parking on the drive as well as 3 closed garages.

Inside the house the ground floor has an impressive entrance hall which, to the right, leads down to the bedroom level where there are 3 bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms share a covered terrace with golf and lake views. At the heart of the house is an enormous sitting room with a beamed, vaulted ceiling and big fireplace which then leads to the dining room and kitchen. All three rooms open up onto the most amazing covered terrace overlooking the pool and golf course and which is only part of the 300 plus metres of terracing surrounding the house. Upstairs houses the impressive master bedroom with en suite bathroom complete with its own fireplace, a dressing room, a bath tub and separate shower. In the basement is a wine cellar and storage space with more undeveloped space under the house that could be converted into staff accommodation, an indoor pool or a games/cinema room. The house has 3 fireplaces in total, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and kitchen, solar panels, mosquito nest on every door and window, air-conditioning and an infinity heated pool. The design of the house is traditional with beautiful beams, vaulted ceilings, a combination of terracotta, marble and wooden floors and although it is Andalucian in style it also has a safari lodge feel to it as it is perched in its privileged position above the golf course, overlooking the lake.

Surrounding the house is a mature garden with beautiful flat grass lawns and an orchard of avocado, apple, mango and nispero trees.

To access the house one must pass through 2 security gates within the estate. The Marbella Club Golf resort is known for its beautiful 18-hole golf course, and boasts a bar and restaurant, pro shop, coaching services as well as an equestrian centre with their stables ranking among the very finest in this part of Andalucia. Residents can either keep their own horses here or use the centre's horses to go out on hacks. The owner of this house also has the right to play on this course for an annual fee rather than having to buy shares and has the rare benefit of direct access to the golf course from the house.

In short this house would make a wonderful family home. It is only about 5 kms from the sea so the coast is easily accessible whilst enjoying unparalleled views, privacy and tranquility.
