Once a week we love to give you an insight into the luxury real estate sector in Spain, and this week's property won't disappoint. Whether you're on the hunt for the house of your dreams and money is no object, or you're simply just enjoying a look, this distinguished property in Marbella is unique in style and will not cease to amaze you. Let's have a closer look at Casa Morisca, a luxury castle-villa in overlooking the Marbella Club Golf Resort in Benahavís.
This wonderful villa is relatively new and what makes it special is the unique blend of traditional Andalusian architecture with modern styles. This creates a wonderful villa which resembles a castle or even a Moorish palace, while the property's elevated position on a 5000m2 plot with stunning garden and swimming pool offers the most wonderful 360 degree views of the rolling Spanish countryside and the Mediterranean, not to mention the prestigious Marbella Club Golf Resort Course.
Moving inside the property you'll find 4 floors, including 2 main living levels, a basement and a rooftop terrace. The main living area is found on the ground floor and is accessed through an Andalusian style atrium. This leads to a large vaulted living room which has the added luxury of a double height ceiling makes the space especially bright. This is complete with fireplace and floor to ceiling doors which provide direct access to the terrace where you can enjoy magnificent views over the golf course and the coast. This area is also home to a bespoke fitted kitchen which connects to the formal dining area with an ancient castle feel to it.
The next floor is home to the main sleeping area which has 5 large bedrooms, each of which has its own en-suite bathroom and private terrace. The basement level, or perhaps better known as the lower ground floor since it still avails of an abundance of natural light is home to a spacious multi-purpose area, and more importantly access to the unique indoor/outdoor heated infinity pool. Further relaxation areas can be found on the large rooftop terrace which has yet more stunning views and a covered kitchenette dining area.
One final selling point of this spectacular villa in Marbella is its unrivalled privacy. This is thanks to 24/7 security since it is found within the golf resort, as well as wonderful fine dining spots and superb leisure facilities just minutes from the property. And all of this is within easy reach of highly rated International Schools, the centre of Marbella and the coast. This wonderful villa is now for sale on idealista for 4,950,000 euros.
