Chalet 5 rooms, Costabella-El Rosario-Ricmar, Marbella

This captivating refurbished and totally renovated property embodies understated class and sophistication with its impeccable design and clever use of space. The property makes ingenious use of the open plan concept, allowing every corner and angle to blend in with the interiors thus creating a sense of openness.

The property sits evenly on an extensive plot of 1065m2 which is surrounded by thickset shrubbery and mature trees, all competing to offer the maximum amount of shade and privacy from any nearby neighbours. There is an overwhelming sense of security and serenity that emanates throughout the gardens and into the property.

The main floor reveals the open plan concept and showcases the living room and dining area at their finest, and seamlessly connects the two with the kitchen. The kitchen, clearly the hub of this floor, is deluxe and modern, with sleek mahogany wooden floors that reflect shards of light filtering in through the impressive sliding terrace doors on the one side. The kitchen is dressed in strong tones of dark charcoal-hued wood alongside oatmeal shaded units. A sublime semi-island unit is lined with barstools and directed forwards to reveal further worktop space and stylishly cover the bar stools when not in use. The kitchen is fully equipped with Gaggenau appliances.

The kitchens terrace doors lead out on to a covered terrace that is fully equipped with an exterior kitchen, including a modern gas operated barbecue, a fully fitted oven, sink and a dining area offering complete privacy for entertaining family and friends.

The living room is vast and opens up on every side, integrating itself with the terraces outdoors, the dining area and the exterior lounging areas. Polished and understated, the living area is furnished in gentle neutral tones and the sleek upholstery blends delicately with the subtle shaded stone that surrounds the smart gas fire. The overall effect is akin to Scandinavian minimalism - elegant and fresh.

The dining area is adjacent to the living room and can be separated by extensive sliding glass doors. The dining table is lengthy and sleek and looks out through comprehensive glass 'curtains' that can also be slid back to open the area up in its entirety, allowing a perfect amalgamation of the interior with the exterior. There is an alluring terrace the looks out into the gardens and down over the pool, that offers a profusion of seating for guests.

On this floor are 3 impressive bedrooms, two of which enjoy the benefits of ensuite bathrooms. With exceptionally large walk-in wardrobes, all of which are glass fronted, the ambience is one of reflection and solitude. All of the bathrooms feature walk in rain showers all seductively encased in huge glass cubicles. One of the three bedrooms on this floor has currently been remodeled as a gym.

On the lower floor of this residence are two guest apartments with private separate entrances. Further bathrooms feature, equally as sleek and modern as those upstairs. On this floor you can enjoy a glass or two of a fine wine in the climate controlled wine cellar, easily accessible via one of the two terraces that indelibly connect the floors and make them seem like one.

The swimming pool is central to the garden and is smoothly surrounded by smart wooden decking and offers residents the opportunity to relax and lounge alongside it in the summer sun.

Additional luxuries include a solarium, underfloor heating, private parking for several vehicles, Calcutta Veneto marble on the property exteriors and electricity via advanced photo voltaic systems and a newly constructed guest house offering further incredible views.

This property is unlike any other in this area given its modernity, sleek tailored lines and that it offers a tranquility away from the busy everyday life on the outside of the entrance gates. If, at the end of your day, you are looking to pull away into your own very private corner of the world, then this is the very property you have been looking for.
