Casa Medusa Classical Villa, Sierra Blanca, Marbella

Sierra Blanca lies within Marbella’s famed Golden Mile, one of the coast’s most sought-after addresses, set into the foothills of La Concha mountain, which forms a dramatic backdrop to the property. Marbella town sits just below, with Puerto Banús a little further west, both around an eight-minute drive, Puente Romano Beach Resort under ten minutes, and Málaga Airport 37 minutes away. The British International School of Marbella, Swans International School and Aloha College are all a short drive from the villa, with the coastline and its beaches close by. Its gated, 24-hour-secured setting has made Sierra Blanca one of Marbella’s most established real estate addresses.

The main floor is arranged in a formal, symmetrical plan around the domed entrance hall and the interior courtyard, its arches and water features lit from above. A grand salon with a handcrafted fireplace leads to a formal dining room and a bespoke Gaggenau kitchen with a breakfast area and pantry, alongside a panelled library inspired by London’s Lanesborough Hotel and a guest suite with powder room. Upstairs, the principal suite occupies the entire front of the villa, with vaulted ceilings, a marble bathroom, a dressing room and a private terrace facing the Mediterranean, alongside an adjacent sitting room and two further en-suite bedrooms on opposite corners of the villa. Bespoke marble, carved columns and antique furnishings run throughout both levels.

The lower level holds a gym, sauna and climate-controlled wine cellar, laundry and utility rooms, and a fully independent staff apartment, with a private secondary entrance onto a gated internal driveway and garage parking for more than eight vehicles. Outside, an orange garden and ornamental water features surround the villa, with lawns, mature palms and landscaped terraces leading to an oversized heated pool and a pool pavilion with a summer kitchen, dining area, showers and changing facilities. A separate two-bedroom guest cottage, with its own sitting room, fireplace, full kitchen and private terrace, opens directly onto the gardens and pool.

This is one of the Golden Mile’s most substantial estates, with scope to reimagine its interiors while preserving the original architectural character.
