About This Home

As of July 2025

This custom estate is a true jewel nestled along the lush fairways of Marbella’s private golf course. With commanding views that sweep across the 3rd, 4th, 6th, and even 7th holes, nearly every room in the home gazes onto emerald greens and rolling fairways. Designed for those who appreciate graceful architecture and elevated living, this residence blends timeless elegance with thoughtful craftsmanship and a deep attention to detail.

The private courtyard entry, framed by handcrafted wrought iron doors, opens to a grand interior where soaring ceilings and finely finished moldings create a striking first impression. The expansive great room welcomes guests with warmth and sophistication, making it a dream for entertainers and golf lifestyle enthusiasts alike.

Impeccably maintained and fully turnkey, the home features travertine floors downstairs and rich hardwood floors upstairs. A gourmet kitchen anchors the heart of the home, outfitted with an island cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerator, double ovens, walk-in pantry, and a sleek entertainer’s bar with a wraparound sit-up counter, sink, and mini fridge.

The main level also includes a guest suite, a home office, and direct garage access to the backyard—where there's ample room to envision a future pool or putting green beside the serene water feature.

Upstairs, three ensuite bedrooms offer elevated comfort. The primary suite boasts a sun-drenched wrap around balcony perfect for discreet tanning, a sunken tub, and a walk-in shower. A junior primary suite features its own sitting area and balcony, while the third suite enjoys views and privacy. A bonus gym or playroom with a ballet bar rounds out the second floor—ideal for fitness or creative space, all with panoramic fairway vistas.

From refined interiors to unparalleled views, this is Country Club living at its finest. And it’s move-in ready.
