Located in La Zagaleta, one of Spain’s most exclusive private residential resorts, the beautiful 4-bedroom Villa 1172 is a stunning example of high-end living at its most luxurious. Situated 18 kilometres from the coast, and just a short drive from the bright lights of Marbella, guests can experience the tranquillity of the countryside while being within easy reach of the buzzing Costa del Sol. Cool and contemporary, the villa sits imposingly on the hills near Marbella overlooking the sea.
This is a state-of-the-art villa with minimalist but stylish interior design and vast expanses of glass which bring the light flooding in. Your first impression will be one of size and space, as no photograph can do justice to its huge 1,400 m2 footprint. The furniture and decor perfectly befit Villa Palo Alto’s grand scale and have been meticulously selected to give a laid-back designer twist to the lofty Scandinavian-style interiors.
Villa 1172 spreads out over three levels, served by an elevator. Access is through a security gate down a long driveway to the carport and covered garage with parking for several vehicles. The wow factor hits you before you even enter the villa, with its floor-to-ceiling glass wall looking straight out onto the pool and contemporary stone walkway leading the eye to the Mediterranean Sea on the horizon.
