Dubbed the “Beverly Hills of Marbella,” Sierra Blanca is a gated community of seven villas only minutes removed from the hustle and flow of Marbella’s Golden Mile and the glamorous Marina Puerto Banús.
This villa’s 18th-century entrance gate leads into a private courtyard (paved with stones from an ancient Roman road). The domed, magisterial facade and variegated tile roof (with its solar panel array) disguise the home’s contemporary soul and its almost playful take on opulent architectural style, details, fixtures, and finishes.
The monumental front door opens to a grand entrance hall and a sweeping vista of the Mediterranean Sea. Farther along the living spaces—a formal dining room, living room, office, and kitchen—wrap around the atrium and its grand reflecting pool. Beyond, an open veranda looks out on lush, palm-lined gardens with a long pool and separate pool house.
An elevator and a sumptuous marble staircase link all three levels, including the upper-floor suites (all with private balconies and spa-like baths) and the lower level, with a cinema, wine cellar, billiards room, and guest/staff apartment.
