Contemporary Villa, Rio Verde, Golden Mile

The living spaces are open and bright. A modern Modulnova kitchen with Gaggenau appliances and a central island with bar seating sits close to the dining area. An open cinema lounge leads through to a wine room with its own bar. The gym opens directly onto an inner courtyard planted with an olive tree, and a separate home office gives a quiet place to work.

All five bedrooms have their own en-suite bathroom. The main suite opens onto the pool terrace and includes a bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. Two aseos serve guests, and the house also includes staff accommodation. Underfloor heating, solar panels, integrated home automation and a built-in sound system run through the house and out to the garden.

Outside, a covered terrace under a timber pergola holds an outdoor lounge and a long dining table facing the pool. The pool itself has a diving board, and a sunken seating area with a fire table is set into the lawn. Olive trees and lit pathways line the approach to the front door, and the property has a carport and parking for five cars.

Rio Verde lies at the western end of the Golden Mile, between Puente Romano and Puerto Banús. Golden Mile Marbella is the stretch of coast between the town centre and Puerto Banús, and from Rio Verde both the beach and Puente Romano can be reached on foot. Puerto Banús, with its restaurants, boutiques and El Corte Inglés supermarket, is a six-minute drive. Marbella old town is a 13-minute drive, and Málaga Airport is a 42-minute drive (58 km). Several international schools are within a ten-minute drive, Aloha Club de Golf is nine minutes by car, and private medical care at Helicópteros Sanitarios is a six-minute drive.

For a family wanting space, privacy and a short walk to the sea on the Golden Mile, Villa Bella is a well-renovated home ready to move into. We would be glad to arrange a private viewing.
