This villa for sale in La Herradura is unique and special both because of its design and also because of its location. It is situated in the Cerro Gordo natural park. You can enjoy the most amazing views to a stretch of near virgin coastline with dramatic rocky steep cliffs that plunge down to the sea. You see the charming beach town of La Herradura and its beautiful bay to the east and Nerja to the west. You have the feeling of being on top of the world and removed from everything, yet you aren’t. It only takes 5 minutes to get to the coastal road and a minute more to reach the motorway. La Herradura is 10 minutes away, Almunecar and Nerja are 20 minutes away and Malaga airport is 50 minutes away. There is a beautiful, natural beach, which is great for snorkelling, in the same area as the house. It is a 5 minute drive or you can even walk there. There is a restaurant on the beach and another great restaurant 5 minutes from the house. There are neighbours of various nationalities. Everyone we know that lives in this area know how lucky they are to live in such a special place where you can spot Spanish ibex, which is a type of wild mountain goat, and occasionally a fox, all kinds of birds and moreover enjoy the most beautiful sunsets and sea and mountain views.

The villa itself was designed and built in 2000 with great care and attention to detail. There is a private drive that takes you up to the villa, which was done out of natural stone, which blends in perfectly with the surroundings. There is a 2 car garage. As you walk up to villa (its just a few steps), there are some laid to lawn areas that provide a nice contrast to the rugged terrain. There are lots of different outdoor areas to relax and enjoy sunset drinks, the water feature, the views and more.

The main level of the house has a split-level, sitting room and dining area with a separate kitchen.

The sitting room is very good size. It has large, sliding glass, corner doors that lead out to the spectacular pool terrace. It is definitely one of a kind with its large, free form pool and the series of large, concrete X´s with glass inserts that surround the terrace. You can see through the enclosures so none of the amazing, double aspect view will be missed. Since the villa is a bit high up, the glass inserts ensure that if there is any wind, it won’t bother you!

The sitting room has an area with built-in seating around the fireplace. There is a wet bar and even a library. The owners haven’t forgotten about anything! The kitchen is quite spacious and leads out to terrace that has a retractable awning and is perfect for outdoor dining. The barbeque area is just a few steps away as is the pool terrace.

Downstairs, with independent access from the main level of the house, there are 3 large bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. The first bedroom has an office area and its own terrace. The second bedroom has a mini kitchen. If you don’t need 5 bedrooms, then this room could easily be used as lounge/diner for the lower level.
