This home offers a daily front-row seat to the spectacular dance of light and shadows as the sun sets on the magical hillside that surrounds Villa El Cortijo. Designed to take full advantage of the spectacular sea and mountain views that surround it, this is a remarkable residence by every standard. This modern Andalusian-style Cortijo is fully renovated, however, it still maintains its original charisma. The property is situated in the fully gated, secured and exclusive complex of El Madroñal that can be considered as one of Costa del Sol's best-kept secrets. The home is truly a place where your mind and body can be at ease. Time and again, musical stars such as Mariah Carey, Sade, Rammstein and Deep Purple have chosen to stay in the villa to seek inspiration and record new music in the former recording studio. The modern and bright open-plan kitchen can easily become one of your favourite rooms in the whole house. Let your imagination fly and get inspired of the mountain views while preparing the meal for the family and friends. The dining area and the connected terrace give you the opportunity to enjoy wine and dine in the most spectacular surroundings. There are several relaxing areas like the salon, the large living room downstairs with a tremendous fireplace, a game room with a bar, a gym and spa area with a sauna and jacuzzi. All 5 bedrooms are en-suite and privately located. You can enjoy the beautiful views that boast through large windows in all bedrooms. One of them is equipped with a kitchenette and could be an ideal staff room. The tower room, accessed directly from the courtyard, can be used as a bedroom and it has a pre installation to fit a shower room and toilet. Below the tower is a storage room and the utility room. Sunny terraces all around the house and the beautiful pool area are inviting to take full advantage of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Not to forget the areas built to give you shades and cool breeze. Magical moments can be experienced as light and shadows change the landscape continuously. This is a home that is designed for you, your family and your friends to be able to make the most out of peaceful and luxurious living, whilst being only a 15 minutes' drive away from the hustle and bustle of Marbella.
