This exceptional Andalusian-style villa, located just a two-minute walk from the beach, is a true architectural gem. Built in 2001 by a renowned German architect with a deep appreciation for Mediterranean and Andalusian culture, the property was designed as a faithful recreation of a traditional southern Spanish village home. Years were spent sourcing and restoring antique materials to ensure absolute authenticity—resulting in a unique and soulful residence that harmoniously blends old-world charm with modern comforts. The architect meticulously integrated hand-collected elements such as original brickwork, forged iron details, antique cranks, door hinges, and centuries-old doors—each piece carefully restored and placed with intention. These historic elements are complemented by contemporary infrastructure, including solar panels and high-spec insulation, ensuring the home offers the best of both past and present. The result is a villa of exceptional character and enduring quality—built to be admired for another hundred years. Set on the second line of the beach, the property enjoys both privacy and immediate access to the coast. From the moment you enter the street-facing gate, you’re welcomed by a beautifully maintained garden adorned with mature fruit trees and ancient olive trees—some over 500 years old—lovingly cared for and flourishing to this day. The home’s spacious terrace offers two distinct areas: a barbecue space for outdoor dining and entertaining, and a peaceful lounge area ideal for quiet moments. The main entrance opens into a charming hall with a fireplace, leading into the expansive living room featuring another fireplace and access to the terrace. Adjacent to this space is the master suite, complete with en-suite bathroom, and a bespoke kitchen, beautifully crafted in harmony with the home’s traditional aesthetic. A standout feature of the property is its layout, with the additional bedrooms having independent access from the garden. Each guest bedroom comes with its own en-suite bathroom, providing privacy and comfort for residents and visitors alike. A separate two-storey tower connected to the main house also includes its own entrance. On the lower level is an office, while upstairs you'll find a cozy bedroom with a bathroom—perfect for guests, older children, or as a private retreat. Thanks to double-chamber walls and thoughtful design, the villa maintains a natural indoor climate year-round. Central heating and solar energy provide sustainable comfort, while air conditioning is unnecessary due to the property’s superb thermal efficiency. A separate 135 m² structure serves as a secure garage for four vehicles, each with an individual door—ideal for car collectors or adaptable for other uses such as a wellness area, workshop, or entertainment space. Located on a quiet residential street, the villa is within walking distance to seasonal beach chiringuitos and year-round restaurants. It's also ideally situated: just 7 minutes by car from Marbella center, 10 minutes from Puerto Banús, and 30 minutes from Málaga Airport. This villa is a rare find—offering soul, history, and sophistication in one of the most charming corners of the Costa del Sol.
