The home features five spacious bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, an additional guest toilet, and a fully independent guest apartment finished to the same high standards as the main residence. A south-facing orientation floods the interiors with natural light and opens up sweeping panoramic views of the sea, mountains, and the elegant swimming pool.

The kitchen is equipped with premium Gaggenau appliances, blending functionality with contemporary design. Fully furnished interiors showcase refined modern décor, creating an atmosphere that is both welcoming and luxurious.
Outdoor terraces extend the living areas, offering ideal spaces for entertaining or unwinding against the backdrop of the Costa del Sol. Beyond the property, El Madroñal is celebrated for its exclusivity, lush woodland setting, and proximity to the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, perfect for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Despite its tranquil hillside location, the area enjoys excellent access to Marbella, Estepona, and the coast via the AP-7. Fine dining, championship golf courses, luxury shopping in Puerto Banús, and prestigious international schools are all within easy reach.
With double-gated access and 24-hour security, this exceptional home offers not just a residence, but a lifestyle defined by elegance, serenity, and comfort in one of southern Spain’s most sought-after enclaves.

Financing examples are illustrative and do not constitute an offer of credit. Availability depends on the client profile, collateral, property, jurisdiction and lender approval. Portfolio-backed lending may be illustrated at up to approximately 70% loan-to-value where suitable. Actual lending value depends on portfolio composition, concentration, volatility, liquidity, currency, jurisdiction and lender approval. Borrowing below the maximum leaves a buffer if markets fall. Mortgage approval depends on income, residency, property value and lender. How Smart Financing works.
