Marbella East, the best of both worlds

The up-market residential area of Las Chapas, Marbella East, is now recognized as a prime location for those seeking a high quality family residence within a safe and secure neighbourhood on the Costa del Sol.

(PRWEB) May 1, 2006 -- The up-market residential area of Las Chapas, Marbella East, is now recognized as a prime location for those seeking a high quality family residence within a safe and secure neighbourhood on the Costa del Sol.

Unlike many “urbanizacions” in southern Spain, great care has been taken to ensure that the modern architecture of recent villas compliments that of the established fincas to create an idyllic residential environment which exists harmoniously within its breathtaking natural surroundings.

One of Marbella’s most beautiful beaches can also be found here, Playa de Alicate. In contrast to the busier tourist beaches closer to town, Playa de Alicate is less commercialised with only a handful of “chiringuitos” creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

The proximity of Las Chapas to the centre of Marbella - just 6 kilometres - ensures that residents are uncompromised between the pleasures of living within a natural and largely unspoilt location whilst still being able to enjoy all the amenities and facilities that urban living has to offer. A convenient location for commuting, Las Chapas is situated just off the main E15 coastal road and only 30 minutes from Malaga Airport.

Unsurprisingly, all development plots at Las Chapas have now been bought and resale properties rarely come to market. However, a recently constructed villa is now being offered for sale, presenting potential purchasers with the opportunity to acquire a luxury four bedroom home on an elevated plot of land and located only a short distance from the beach.

The property is accessed through large private gates with electric entry phone leading to a decorative pebbled driveway. The villa’s symmetrical façade, light toned stucco exterior, observation tower and low pitched terracotta-tiled roofs all combine to create an impressive vision. From the driveway, steps lead up to a two pillar colonnade giving access to the main entrance door.

Once inside the villa, a raised entrance area leads down to a fantastic open plan living and dining space, incorporating a distinctive open fireplace with marble surround. Full height patio windows are fitted along the entire south facing elevation delivering lots of natural light and views over the terrace and gardens beyond, and a huge panelled glass window to the rear of the room serves to further enhance the brightness of the main living area.

A large fully fitted kitchen complete with solid granite work surface, cloakroom and the first bedroom suite with fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathroom are also found on the ground floor. A beautiful marble staircase leads to the first floor accommodation with two further bedroom suites, both of which have large, south aspect windows leading out to a balcony terrace with spectacular sea views. From the first floor landing a spiral staircase leads up and into the observation tower, and from here the unique location of the villa can truly be appreciated - 360 degree views over the Mediterranean, the mountains to the rear and Marbella town in the distance.

The villa is bursting with lavish features including high ceilings, solid oak carpentry and marble flooring throughout, underfloor heating, airconditioning and electrically operated tilting window shutters, to name but a few! The bathrooms also include some exquisite characteristics such as sunken baths, double sink units, spacious glass fronted shower cubicles and “Rosa Portugues de Marble” in suite number three. However, the villa’s existing neutral décor is a blank canvas with which the purchaser can create an interior environment to reflect their own personal taste and style.

Below ground level and an enormous basement comprises a fourth bedroom suite (ideal for families with a live-in nanny or elderly dependents), storage room, garage with laundry area and space for at least four cars – and of course a remote controlled garage door!

Outside, the villa is set within a plot of approximately 1,000 square meters consisting of mature tropical gardens with olive and palm trees, having been designed and landscaped using only the highest quality materials. The living / dining area leads directly out to a covered terrace, with steps down to a large open sun terrace, geometric design swimming pool and a lush green lawn with barbecue area.

As one would expect in such a prestigious location as Las Chapas, the villa is fully alarmed and security guards patrol the development throughout the night.

The villa at Las Chapas is the ideal property for one of the many international executives or high net worth individuals wanting to participate in the Marbella “way of life” – a superb luxury villa with lots of potential to become a fantastic family home.

The property is offered for sale at 2,550,000 Euros through Easierproperty.com.
