Description

Turnkey Modern Villa in El Madroñal.

Villa Cambara is a contemporary architect-designed villa for sale in El Madroñal offering 5 en-suite bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms plus a gym bathroom and guest toilet, approximately 560square metres of built area distributed across multiple levels, infinity pool, rooftop solarium, lift access to all floors and a four-car garage, all set within one of the most private gated communities in the area. Designed by internationally recognised architect Arthur Casas, the residence combines strong architectural identity with a layout conceived for both grand entertaining and practical everyday living.The villa is arranged over several floors to create a clear distinction between social and private zones while maintaining visual continuity throughout.

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame open views towards the Mediterranean and the Serranía, allowing natural light to define the interior atmosphere. On the main level, an expansive open-plan configuration brings together a bespoke high-end kitchen with minimalist island, a formal dining space and a spacious living room that acts as the architectural focal point of the home.

From this level, direct access leads onto the principal terrace where the linear infinity pool is fully integrated into the design.Optional additions such as an outdoor kitchen and al fresco dining area enhance the functionality of the exterior, making it equally suited to daily use and larger gatherings.

The level below accommodates the primary sleeping quarters, where five well-proportioned bedroom suites each benefit from their own en-suite bathroom, ensuring privacy for residents and guests. A family lounge provides a more relaxed secondary living space, while a dedicated fitness suite with its own bathroom supports wellness routines within the comfort of home. A separate media lounge offers flexibility for cinema use or as an additional private sitting area.Practical features are carefully integrated into the lower floor, including a secure garage with space for four vehicles and additional storage.

A signature central lift connects all floors,including the rooftop terrace, reinforcing ease of movement and long-term functionality. At the top of the property, the rooftop solarium offers a 360-degree deck complete with fire pit and chill-out area, providing elevated views across the hills and towards the sea.El Madroñal is characterised by expansive plots, mature pine and cork oak trees and a collection of high-quality villas that range from classic Mediterranean estates to contemporary architectural homes.

The gated community benefits from 24-hour security and controlled access, creating a discreet and low-density residential setting. Despite its natural hillside environment, the area remains within convenient driving distance of beaches, golf courses,international schools and a wide selection of dining and shopping facilities. Road connections link the community efficiently with the wider coastal network while preserving the tranquillity that makes this ‌enclave ‌so ‌desirable.

Villa ‌Cambara ‌represents ‌a substantial ‌and design-focused ‌property for ‌sale in ‌El Madroñal,offering privacy, ‌architectural ‌distinction and a well-balanced layout ‌in ‌a ‌secure ‌and ‌established ‌residential ‌setting.

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.
