Chalet 5 rooms, Casco Histórico, Marbella

Stepping inside the perimeter of this mansion set within the leafy tree lined streets in Marbella is akin to stepping into an elegant Andalucian cortijo that exudes all the charm of a British country house.



Meticulously kept gardens, designed by the British landscape designer Christopher Masson, surround the property, showcasing a personal selection of flora and fauna interspersed with Bourguignon flowers. Private terraces all around the property are caressed by extensive greenery, offering shade from the Spanish sun and creating tranquil enclaves in which one can relax.



There are courtyards with wooden benches offering vantage points to take in the mountain and garden views all of which are protected by immense palm trees and edged by immaculately trimmed grass verges.



The property boasts 5 sumptuous bedroom suites, all interlinked by library lined hallways and all offering the luxurious privacy of an ensuite bathroom. Cleverly, each bathroom has been succinctly designed and dressed to delicately mirror the color palette of the bedrooms interior thereby creating an illusion of uniformity and grace. The bedrooms all showcase deluxe parquet floors which complement the soft furnishings and gently reflect the natural light coming in through the balcony terrace glass doors. 



The living areas on the ground floor are delicately sumptuous, elegant and resplendent in their orientation and decoration, with plush sofas interspersed with bright eye catching cushions and high ceilings creating a lofty and airy ambience. Open working fireplaces are found in each living room offering warmth during winter months. 



The 10 seater dining room offers views out onto the terraces and gardens that surround the swimming pool from both sides, via extensively set glass windows and doors. 



Adjacent is the immense kitchen complete with an AGA style oven, island unit and separate breakfast area. The entire room is illuminated through impressive glass terraces doors and via beautiful spacious windows. Delicately decorated in light wood throughout showing tones of ivory, cream, summer greens and gingham checks, the kitchen gives you a feeling of pure nostalgia and comfort from the moment you walk in.



On the basement floor, there is a magnificent cinema room, extensive wine cellar, generous laundry room, a utilitarian bedroom, several storerooms and a vast private garage that can house up to 4 vehicles. 



This mansion is nothing short of being breathtakingly beautiful in a classy, stylish and elegant manner. Engineered by Proinsermant, brought to life by Jaime Parade, a jet set designer, accompanied by his trusted architect Cesar de Leyva and furnished throughout by Nicole Fabre, this residence is exquisite.



Set in some of the most immaculate and resplendent grounds, housing a heated saltwater pool that is surrounded by lavishly appointed lounging and dining areas, all shaded by majestic palm trees, shrubbery and flowerbeds, this is an almost perfect mix of Andalucian flair combined with British country charm and charisma.
