Mirador Sumptuous Haven
Location will always be a prime consideration for new home-buyers on the Costa del Sol. But discerning, cautious buyers are increasingly looking for much more - not only convenience and home comforts but, perhaps most important of all, peace of mind.
The best way to ensure peace of mind, especially when families are concerned, is to set up home in a secure environment, and the property featured here is located in a gated residential resort, Mirador del Paraiso, where 24-hour security is paramount.
A Mediterranean-style villa featuring Moorish touches created by architects Cristian Larrain and Rodolfo Nonini, the property has been carefully designed to offer south-facing golf and sea views from all the main rooms - and four spacious bedroom suites on split levels with maximum privacy.
The gallery-lounge is highlighted by a skylight above the dining area and an open fireplace, high cathedral ceilings with wooden beams, and cream stucco painting throughout; while a fully-fitted kitchen has direct access to mature, sub-tropical gardens with an African gazebo and semi-infinity pool.
The property features quality cream marble floors throughout, with hydraulic under-floor heating and individual control units in each room; and African teak (Iroko) windows and special doors with a 10-year guarantee.
Other amenities include a large games room in the semi-basement, with space for a possible wine cellar; and an elevator from the two-car garage (plus a carport for the golf buggy) to the master suite, which includes a walk-in-wardrobe, high vaulted ceilings and a private terrace with views over the La Concha peak and Marbella in the distance.
Then there is the location: surrounded by golf courses (Atalaya and El Paraiso), conveniently close to amenities and the beach, and set in the grounds of a complex with luxury villas, townhouses and apartments - and an exclusive clubhouse.
