Villa in Sierra Blanca Country Club, Istan

Set on a private corner plot within the gated Sierra Blanca Country Club, this detached villa enjoys panoramic views over the mountains, the lake and the sea. The community has 24-hour security and lies just 10 minutes from Puerto Banús.

The mature Mediterranean garden has palm and olive trees, a generous private swimming pool and several terraces for outdoor living. Built in a modern rustic style over different levels, the villa has a double-height living room with a fireplace. A mezzanine overlooks the lounge and would suit a home office or a fourth bedroom, with a shower room nearby. The open-plan kitchen and dining area sit on the entry level. Just above the entrance are the master bedroom, with superb views, a guest bedroom and a bathroom. A large bedroom suite on the lower level offers extra privacy. The villa has been unoccupied for some time and would benefit from light updating and fresh landscaping.
