Description

Grupo Ibercosta is proud to present a rare opportunity to acquire a signature architectural estate in one of the most prestigious enclaves of Southern Spain. Located within the ultra-exclusive gated community of El Herrojo Alto, this villa represents the pinnacle of luxury, privacy, and design. As a property designed by the renowned architect Miguel Tobal, it stands as a testament to timeless elegance in the heart of the Marbella Golden Triangle.

The Prime Location: La Quinta and the Benahavís Prestige

Situated in the rolling hills of Benahavís, this estate benefits from a location that is globally recognized for its discretion and high-end lifestyle. El Herrojo Alto is a sanctuary for those who demand 24-hour security and peace without sacrificing proximity to the vibrant coastal life. Being part of the Benahavís municipality—one of Spain’s wealthiest and most secure districts—owners enjoy world-class infrastructure and remarkably low municipal taxes.

The villa is perfectly positioned within the La Quinta area, offering residents immediate access to the prestigious fairways of La Quinta Golf & Country Club. Within a ten-minute drive, you can transition from the serene Andalusian hills to the high-end boutiques, fine dining, and super-yachts of Puerto Banús. This unique positioning provides a balanced lifestyle: the tranquility of a mountain retreat with the excitement of the Mediterranean coast just moments away.

Space, Scale, and Sophisticated Distribution

Spanning a total built area of 690 m² on a generous plot of 1,125 m², the property has been meticulously planned to maximize the dramatic panoramic views. The architectural layout focuses on creating a sense of openness, allowing the natural light of Southern Spain to flood every corner of the home.

The Living Quarters and Private Spaces

The main living areas are designed with expansive proportions, featuring high ceilings and a flow that encourages both social interaction and private reflection. The property currently offers five spacious bedrooms and five bathrooms, each designed to provide comfort and seclusion. The primary suites are oriented toward the south, ensuring that the first thing you see every morning is the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, with the silhouettes of Gibraltar and the African Coast on the horizon.

Outdoor Living and Entertaining

Life in the South of Spain is centered around the outdoors. This villa features a 52 m² private infinity pool that appears to merge seamlessly with the Mediterranean horizon. Complementing the pool is a series of terraces totaling 69 m², specifically designed for year-round entertaining. Whether it is a quiet breakfast in the morning sun or a large-scale dinner party under the stars, these spaces provide the perfect backdrop for the quintessential Marbella lifestyle.

The Garden Level: The Social Heart of the Home

One of the most remarkable features of this Miguel Tobal masterpiece is the exceptionally large garden level. While many hillside properties in the region suffer from steep, unusable terrain, this estate offers vast, flat, open-plan spaces. This level serves as the social engine of the villa, blurring the lines between indoor luxury and outdoor natural beauty.

The garden level features an oversized open-concept kitchen and dining area, perfectly suited for the modern epicurean. Large-scale, floor-to-ceiling glazing erases the boundary between the interior and the manicured lawns. A dedicated BBQ and al fresco dining zone is strategically placed near the pool deck, creating an integrated environment for hosting guests in a setting that feels both grand and intimate.

A High-Value Asset with Unrivaled Investment Potential

At Grupo Ibercosta, we recognize that a home in El Herrojo Alto is more than just a residence; it is a high-performance asset. This villa presents a unique opportunity for the discerning investor or a homeowner with a vision. While the Miguel Tobal architecture provides a structurally superior and timeless foundation, the property serves as a blank canvas for personalization.

By updating the interior aesthetics to 2026 ultra-luxury standards, a buyer can unlock significant equity. In a market where modernized villas in secure, gated communities like La Quinta are in extremely high demand and short supply, this property is considered a "recession-proof" investment. It offers the chance to create a bespoke masterpiece in one of the most coveted postcodes in Europe.
