Detached Villa - R5438941

Some homes are defined by their location; others define it. The Cerquilla Gardens is one of La Cerquilla's original landmark residences - an exceptional single-level Andalusian bungalow set on a magnificent 3,081 m² flat plot at the entrance to the community, in the heart of Marbella's prestigious Golf Valley. Enjoying a coveted south-facing orientation, with the iconic La Concha mountain providing a spectacular backdrop. The villa was originally built in the late 1970s, comprehensively refurbished in 2016 by Bonifacio Solís Construcciones. In 2025 and 2026, Matterhorn Estates meticulously maintained, updated and styled the property, with the exterior landscape developed under the guidance of renowned landscape architect Juan Pedro Sacedón and brought to life by Fantastic Garden, while the interiors were reimagined by Fábrica de Hielo. The beautifully established gardens showcase majestic ficus trees, Washingtonia robusta palms, flowering jacarandas, Strelitzia nicolai, Agave americana, Cycas revoluta and a carefully curated collection of tropical planting, creating an extraordinary sense of privacy and tranquillity. Spanning over 700 m², the villa has been conceived around an organic architectural design that creates a seamless connection between the interior spaces and the surrounding gardens. Its single-level layout offers effortless living, with every bedroom opening directly onto the landscaped grounds. A wraparound covered terrace extends along the length of the home, while two spacious lounges, a professional-grade Danespan kitchen with a large central island, two dining areas, a private library and a home office create spaces equally suited to everyday living and entertaining. The residence offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms, while Technal security glazing, a Lutron lighting system, a four-car garage and a water storage tank complement the exceptional level of comfort, privacy and functionality found throughout the home. Located just minutes from Puerto Banús, Marbella's finest golf courses, leading international schools and the golden beaches of the Costa del Sol, The Cerquilla Gardens enjoys a privileged position within one of Marbella's most established and exclusive residential communities. The neighbourhood benefits from 12-hour nightly security patrols operated by two dedicated security vehicles, together with a full-time daytime maintenance team, creating a discreet, secure and impeccably maintained environment. In addition, the community has approved the construction of a 24-hour security gatehouse adjacent to the property, a significant enhancement that will further strengthen the already exceptional privacy and security of this exclusive enclave.
