Luxury property: Modern cool in Sotogrande
If you’re in the market for serious luxury in sun-drenched Southern Spain, then a unique 7.4 million euro mansion located within the exclusive residential oasis of Sotogrande, could be the home for you.
Lying within an area of protected national parkland, this super-sized villa boasts a truly exceptional position. Perched amidst the ridges of a spectacular gorge, the resulting verticality has been used to dramatic effect.
Approached by a sweeping private driveway lined with olive trees, the villa itself presents an elegant fusion of architectural styles. The traditional Moorish courtyard, through which the main house is accessed, provides a pleasant contrast to the contemporary aesthetic of the principal living space with its sleek lines and high ceilings.
A total of 1,385 square meters of internal accommodation has been intelligently distributed across three levels, affording jaw-dropping vistas to much of the house.
At entry level, the living room, dining room and library enjoy an open, airy feel and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows allow for maximum light and uninterrupted views across the breathtaking canyon. The ensuing terrace successfully unifies the indoor-outdoor living concept so that, whether you want to entertain, relax or simply sit and absorb the milieu, you can do so in complete comfort and privacy.
Elsewhere in the house you will find a kitchen, nine ensuite bedrooms, wine cellar, internal garage and more than 100 square meters of free space, which will be further developed for use as a media room, gymnasium or playroom, depending upon the future buyer’s specific requirements.
Completed under the helm of a German constructor, the finish is superior in terms of both style and quality. Sumptuous materials including granite, marble and hardwoods have been used throughout to create an atmosphere of modern opulence. Furthermore, household technologies such as under floor heating and air conditioning can be controlled centrally thanks to a state-of-the-art home automation system.
Outside and the expansive landscaped grounds are a pleasure to the eye. Various idiosyncratic elements including ornate water features and grand Romanesque pillars add to the garden’s nonconformist structure and style.
Spacious terraces and a full summer kitchen offer endless possibilities for enjoyment of this inimitable location, but it’s from the soothing waters of the infinity pool – tiled with dark Indian slate and occupying a prime vantage point overlooking the ravine – that you can really immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquillity of this property’s stunning surroundings.
Enveloped by a natural landscape of rock and subtropical foliage, the villa is blessed with an atmospheric quality that you’d be hard-pressed to garner from a beachfront counterpart.
In total, the plot offers 4,503 square meters of land (or just over an acre) – there’s even space for your own personal heliport, should you need one.
But despite its idyllic setting, the house is by no means remote – Sotogrande port is less than a five minute drive away and offers all the trappings you would expect from this cosmopolitan destination.
The resort is unrivalled in terms of on-site facilities; an international school, five golf courses, a golf academy, beach clubs, tennis clubs, a riding centre, polo grounds, sailing club and three luxury hotels and are just some of the services available.
In the main port, the stylish community sit and marvel at the luxury yachts while enjoying something to eat or drink at the chic restaurants and cafes that line the harbourside. In the near future, the recently developed Blue Sotogrande venture will provide further opportunities for upmarket shopping and dining.
With its winning combination of climate, geography and access, Sotogrande has escaped the over-development suffered by other locations along the coast, a factor that has helped to strengthen its position as Southern Spain’s most desirable ‘super-prime’ market.
And while it’s true that lower end properties are struggling in the current economic climate, the exclusive homes of Sotogrande remain highly coveted by Europe’s elite – care to join them?
