This impressive villa surrounded by magnificent landscaped park-like gardens enjoys wonderful views of the Mediterranean Sea, to Gibraltar and Africa. The entire area with its approx. 140.000 sqm is divided into a generous and extensive Mediterranean park landscape including the villa (about 25.000 sqm), and the commercially run plantation, which consists mainly of avocado and mango trees. Due to its central location within the New Golden Mile the property is easily accessed from the dual carriageway and it is only a few minutes drive away from the famous marina of Puerto Banus, Marbella and Estepona. In the past two extensive general renovations have been carried out. The first one took place over two years, 1993 – 1995, with new flat roof insulation, installation of 32 solar panels in the rear roof area, in addition to the power production generated by gas. A modern concept of electronically controlled gas burners, heat pumps, and solar water panels has been installed to meet the energy needs. The entire hot and cold-water system and the heating pipe system have been renewed. The ground floor has been converted to under floor heating with marble flooring and the exterior façade was changed from rough plaster to smooth plastering. The bodega of approximately 110 sqm was extensively renovated and redesigned. The original style of the villa was Moorish with flat roofs on different levels. The property has been converted to Andalusian style with an interesting mix of gable roofs, hipped, pyramid and flat roofs.
