Mediterranean villas for sale in El Madroñal, Benahavís
Bemont Marbella · October 15th 2016Though best known for its luxury beachside apartments and penthouses, golf-facing villas and exclusive mansions, Marbella is the kind of place that can satisfy a very wide range of tastes and preferences. This is thanks to a natural setting that is not only beautiful, but also highly diverse in its topography, orientation and scenic characteristics.

Marbella’s location on the shores of the western Mediterranean may be its greatest official asset, but rising on the edge of a very gently undulating coastal plain are the foot slopes of a range of mighty mountains that help create Marbella’s benevolent micro-climate as they stretch into an Andalusian interior dominated by lofty peaks, deeply incised green valleys and rustic farmland.
For those who want to combine the open nature, views and country charm of the real Andalucía with the elegance, luxury amenities and glamour of Marbella, there are a number of select country club environments to choose from. One of the very finest of these is El Madroñal, a gated community set upon foothills at the base of the scenic country road that leads to the beautiful historical town of Ronda.
Mediterranean style villa for sale in El Madroñal
Surrounded by exclusive neighbouring residential areas also set on large tracts of land, El Madroñal is within a few minutes of San Pedro Alcántara, Puerto Banús, Marbella and the beaches of this region – with golf courses right on its doorstep – yet endowed with the space and ambience of a rustic natural setting. For this reason it is generally regarded as the perfect embodiment of country chic, in which its Andalusian setting acquires an almost Provençal quality.
As a result, the large, imposing villas set on expansive private grounds enable their owners to live within a rarefied environment surrounded by nature, privacy and magnificent panoramas over countryside, Marbella, the Mediterranean and in some cases also Gibraltar and North Africa. The latter is courtesy of a slightly elevated position that makes this one of the most scenic locations in Marbella, backing on to mountain views that are the equal of its Mediterranean vistas.
While the style, size and orientation of the properties within this elegant country club community may vary considerably, they all share a sense of space, tranquility and a very elegant interpretation of luxury country living that also benefits from having all that Marbella has to offer right on your doorstep.
