Villa for sale in El Madroñal

This four-bedroom villa in El Madroñal stands out for its renovated Andalusian character, its heated saltwater pool and its east-facing views towards the Mediterranean.

The property offers 364 m² of built space, of which 301 m² are interior, on a plot of 1,780 m², arranged over three levels.

The entrance level holds a hall with a high ceiling, a living room, a separate office, a guest toilet and a dining room that connects to a fully equipped kitchen. Both the living and dining rooms open onto the terrace, with views over the pool area and towards the sea.

The upper floor is given over to the master bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in closet and a private terrace facing the sea and the surrounding nature. The lower floor holds two guest bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, and a further double bedroom with an independent bathroom.

All bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and air conditioning, and the whole house has underfloor heating with separate controls for each area. Beneath the house is a large basement that could become a gym, a games room or a wine cellar.

Outside, the heated saltwater pool is surrounded by a solarium and a covered chill-out area with an outdoor kitchen, a barbecue corner, a dining space and a bathroom. Two gated entrances serve the property: one to the main house, with parking for a large car, and a second, lower gate that opens onto a courtyard with space for around six cars and an enclosed garage.

El Madroñal is a gated country estate in the hills above San Pedro de Alcántara. San Pedro itself, Puerto Banús and Marbella are all within easy driving distance.

The villa suits a buyer who wants privacy, character and outdoor entertaining space rather than a standard modern house. The trade-off is the setting: this is the countryside, so shops, schools and the beach are all a drive, and the last stretch is a mountain road.
