The property enjoys a prime southwest-facing position, allowing for stunning panoramic views over the serene Istán Lake and extending to the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, making it a true oasis of luxury and comfort.
The villa is thoughtfully distributed across three floors, each designed to maximize space, light, and the breathtaking surroundings. As you enter the home, you are welcomed by a high-ceiling hallway that creates an immediate sense of grandeur and openness. The hallway leads into an open-plan lounge, perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests. Adjacent to the lounge is an impressively large kitchen, equipped with modern appliances, a breakfast area, and ample space for culinary endeavors. A convenient guest toilet is also located on this main level.
One of the standout features of this home is the covered porch area, which serves as a versatile space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Whether it’s for seating or dining, this area provides an ideal spot to take in the views and enjoy the Mediterranean climate. The villa’s outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with a heated pool that invites year-round swimming. Complementing the pool is a large South African thatch pool house, complete with a full bar, fridge, professional-style BBQ with an extractor, and a sink with both hot and cold water, creating the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining.
The main level of the villa hosts two spacious en-suite bedrooms, each designed with comfort and privacy in mind. Moving to the upper floor, you’ll find the master bedroom, which is a true retreat. This en-suite master bedroom boasts a very large bathroom and direct access to an open terrace, where you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset in peace. Additionally, there is a storage room on this level, along with a further bedroom that offers flexibility in its use, potentially serving as an office or an extra dressing area.
The lower level of the villa is both functional and versatile, with direct access from the street.
