Villa for sale in Istan

This is simply a wonderful property situated in the countryside of Istan, which is within a protected environment, and yet only as 15 minute drive to either Marbella or Puerto Banus. Istan is a village that lies beneath the Sierra Blanca in the valley of the Rio Verde, about 15km from the coast and Marbella. A large dam was constructed here in 1972 that has resulted in the large and beautiful Lake Istan (actually a reservoir providing drinking water to the coastal towns). “Panoramic Views” is unfortunately an overused expression in real estate, but can be applied to this property without doubt. Constructed on the side of a mountain, the property offers panoramic views of the Lake, Mountains and Mediterranean Sea. It is a truly spectacular setting, and perfect for the beautiful villa that has been built here. The property oozes charm and luxury, and no expense has been spared for its construction. Although a modern style architecture, it has been done in such a way that it blends into the beautiful environment. One of the striking features of this property is the large expansive terrace, especially made with sun-resistant material, which is set overlooking the wonderful views and easily accommodates the dining areas as well as sunbathing areas and areas to escape the sun when it becomes too hot. The villa itself is spectacular and has a much more modern design in the interior, and incorporates more incredible design features. The master bathroom for example has a modern design bathtub which is set in front of a huge picture window looking at the views. All the bedrooms are spacious with high ceilings and ensuite bathrooms. The flooring throughout the villa is a mixture of marble (living room areas) and artificial wood ceramic tiles. All the main rooms are orientated towards the views, as one might expect. The kitchen is top of the range with all top brand appliances and a separate laundry room. Under floor heating and air-conditioning are throughout the house as well as a gas fireplace in the living room. There are many special features in this villa including a home cinema for up to 15 people and an absolutely fantastic modern wine cellar illuminated with coloured LED lighting. The property has been maintained to a high standard by the present owners and there is scope to further extend the property by another 165m, to build further accommodation, a gym or Spa area. An absolutely spectacular property.
