Andalucia, Malaga, Guadalmina Baja, Spain

Stepping into the residence located in a prime golf side position within the leafy enclave of Guadalmina Baja is akin to stepping into two eclectic worlds where eclectic flair rubs shoulders with Andalucian charm. The layout, design and architecture of the property showcase its hidden appeal that bewitches you from the moment you enter.

This property spans 828m2 and sits elegantly on an all embracing plot of 2500m2. Surrounded by towering hedgerows, trees of every nature, with topiary featuring throughout, and a plethora of sub tropical flowers, privacy and tranquility is assured to both residents and guests alike.

Up along the grand driveway, where there is parking for at least 4 vehicles, and in through the main entrance you are transported into an era of elegance and Andalucian flair. The lounge is split onto two levels, with a private seating - reading area set on an open floor overlooking the lower level. Illuminated by a skylight set in the sloping ceiling high above, the light is bright and floods into every corner crevice and niche. Wooden beams feature throughout the property, some in their natural state and others whitewashed. The effect is calmingly stylish yet offers a gentle strength from within.

The adjacent dining room is just as olde-worldly with its delicate mix of neutral colors and gently blues, all creating a warmth and welcoming feeling. This room offers its residents the chance to enjoy intimate dinners, safe in the heart of the property.

The kitchen is fully fitted and equipped and finely dressed in wooden colored washed units on either side. A skylight allows light to shine on down into the room giving an added warmth to an already inviting area for any budding chef to play. A breakfast table is nearby for easy informal breakfasts and lunches.

One floor up and you can find the 4 spacious bedrooms, all uniquely and individually furnished in a spectacular array of colour, materials and grandeur. Wood juxtaposed with brickwork mingle alongside ornate carpets and plush seating areas. Each room offers its own individual panache, whether it be a four poster bed, an ornate chandelier or a sublime piece of artwork. Each room speaks its own language and offers its own story. All of the rooms show off high expansive ceilings, some sloping, and each enjoys swathes of natural light that pours in through terrace windows or doors.

The bathrooms are no less impressive with huge walk in showers or free standing regal-looking bathtubs. Each bathroom seems eager to show off its individuality, whether it be an unusual splash of colour, a subtle unstated LED mood light or its grandiose decorations that fill the walls. Each one offer itself as a haven of grace and tranquility.

The upper floor enjoys either lengthy terraces that open to reveal the stunning golf views or balconies that highlight each bedroom windows and offer views of the gardens and swimming pool.

The ground floor plays home to a charming covered terrace that overlooks the gardens and the pool. With access from virtually every room on the ground level, it hosts the lounging areas to relax and chill out in, seating areas to quietly sip a cocktail in and majestically of all, an alfresco dining area alongside a built in BBQ zone complete with its own exterior kitchen. All areas are completely shaded and protected against the heat of the midday Spanish sun, bringing life down to a slower life expanding pace.

The pool is not just a saltwater pool but is also heated, permitting use all year round. On one side a blank wall has been ingeniously enhanced by a stunning piece of art depicting Bali ocean set villas embraced by mountains and azure colored sea. The overall effect is quite simply out of this world.

The mature and incredibly manicured gardens and breathtaking and surround the property. A fully working tree house, that plays host to a living room no less, sits within the caring protective branches of pine trees, and is high lighted by rich green topiary around the lower level. The appeal is mesmerizing and showcases the perfect place in which to retreat, take a seat and spend some quiet time alone.

The property also offers a huge variety of additional luxuries including full security including an alarm, double glazing and an armoured door, porcelain floors, aerothermics to reduce energy consumption, air conditioning and solar panels to reduce running costs.

This is not for the faint hearted but to take this property on would be a privilege and a chance to renew your zest for life. With its complete privacy, its incredible amalgamation of humble Andalucian influences that enjoy a dalliance with modernity and refined warmth, this is a home looking to share its love of life with you.
