Unique, designer villa in La Herradura with sea views & large pool – a 10-minute walk to the beach.
This beautiful villa was completely renovated in 2014, by a leading Spanish architect that specialises in modern design and the famous French designer Jean Paul Espinosa. The result is a unique villa that is “as new”. The only thing that remains of the original villa is the structure, but even that was reinforced to allow for enormous wall to wall and floor to ceiling windows and to internally communicate the lower level with the entrance and main level. Extensive thought went into every single detail of this villa, so your comfort and enjoyment are guaranteed.
The previous owners, who undertook this work, have outstanding taste and very high standards. There is nothing you will want for and from the moment you enter the property you will keep saying “WOW!” as the sea view is extraordinary and future proof (as no one can build in front of the property), and the view can be enjoyed equally well from inside the villa as from the various terraces and the garden. You can seat on your terrace and watch the boats in the bay of La Herradura. You can even walk to the village of La Herradura and the beach from the villa.
The villa is set on a plot of nearly 1,200 square meters in a quiet residential area. It has a mature, tropical garden with established palm and fruit trees, plants, and flowers. The property is completely secure and enclosed. There is an open parking area that can accommodate 3 cars. Additionally, there is a double garage that can accommodate 2 cars plus has storage space and a lift that goes up to the main level of the villa. From the parking area, there is a gentle ramp that leads up the entrance/main level of the villa. Most of this villa would be easily accessible for someone with limited mobility. A zen-like front patio that features a tropical garden, a carp pond, and a water feature leads you to the impressive, hand carved, Balinese door that grants access to this stunning villa. The front patio has around 150 m2 so it is a wonderful and very useful outdoor space.
As the door opens, you are greeted by an open plan living area and an enormous wall to wall sliding glass door that opens onto a good-sized terrace, which has plenty of space to enjoy al fresco meals with a view to die for! This phenomenal view will captivate you from the first moment. The living area has a round, glass fire so you can see the flame from the sitting room, the dining room and even the kitchen. It is very special and adds a lot of ambience to winter evenings! The living area features high, vaulted ceilings. Adjacent to the sitting room is the dining area that features a very functional and pretty, built-in wet bar that integrates beautifully with the kitchen. In front of the dining area is a wonderful sunroom that has floor to ceiling glass windows on all 3 sides so you can sit and soak in the sunshine and the view. You can also access the terrace from one side of this space.
The amazing kitchen is behind the dining room. Everything is open plan, so the sense of space and light is wonderful. The kitchen has quartz Silestone work tops, and extra wide island that is extremely useful and a refrigerator with French doors and the freezer below. There are even 2 dishwashers and an osmosis filtered water drinking system. There is access to the front patio directly from the kitchen and large windows so you can look out at the tropical garden and watch the birds feeding and there is space to enjoy al fresco meals on the patio as well. There is a utility room just off the kitchen with built-in storage, a second refrigerator, a washing machine, dryer, and a sink.
On the other side of the living area, there are steps that go down to the lower level, a guest toilet/shower room that features a unique stone from Indian (the same stone that is used in the front patio area), a guest bedroom and the master bedroom suite. Both bedrooms open onto the terrace and enjoy amazing views to the sea, the mountains, and the bay of La Herradura. In the master bedroom, there is a his and hers dressing room and the ensuite bathroom has a large, walk-in shower and a round Jacuzzi tub with steps making it easy to enter. The entry level has 219 m2 of living space not counting the terraces. The floor on the entry level is crème marble, except for the master bedroom suite which has a wood floor.
On the lower level, there is an elegant shower room and 2 very large bedroom suites. There is 102 m2 of living space on this level. One of these bedrooms is currently used as an office, but they are really bedrooms. Both rooms have lovely views to the sea, the garden and the pool and they open onto a covered terrace and connect to the pool terrace. There is a storage/work room on this level, which is ideal for gardening or for doing crafts or projects.
The pool area is stunning and features anti-slip granite. There are platforms for sunbathing that extend slightly into the pool. There is a unique water feature on one end and a large area that is used for lounging where there are outdoors sofas. The pool has salt water, so it is more pleasant and healthier to use plus it is easier to maintain. It is 15 metres long by 5 metres wide, which is a very good-sized pool. It has built-in steps and a bench inside so you can sit and gaze in awe at the view and soak up the sunshine while enjoying a nice, refreshing drink. There is an area near the pool in the garden where you can find the jacuzzi.
The villa has hot and cold air conditioning throughout. There is underfloor heating in most of the house, even in the lower level. The windows are PVC, and the glass is security glass, and it also has a special solar protection for added comfort and energy efficiency. There are automatic shutters in the 2 bedrooms on the main level. The property is beautifully illuminated on the exterior at night with LED lighting. There is a home automation system that controls the interior, exterior and pool lights, and it could control more if you like. There are 2 electric hot water heaters. One is for the kitchen and the utility room and one large 300 litre air source heat pump for hot water. This way you can enjoy a wonderful soak in the Jacuzzi bath and still be able to enjoy a nice hot shower after that. The current owners invested in 16 solar panels to generate electricity plus a battery to store 5kW surplus. They also invested in the pool with a solar pool cover (14m x 5m) with remote control and a heat pump, so you can enjoy the pool throughout the whole year! The garage has 2 individual, automatic doors and between the garage and the storeroom there are 71 m2. There is an alarm system that covers both the interior and exterior of the property.
