Palatial Mediterranean estate in Sierra Blanca with panoramic sea views

Positioned within the prestigious gated community of Sierra Blanca, one of Marbella’s most sought-after residential addresses on the iconic Golden Mile, this remarkable Mediterranean estate combines timeless architecture, exceptional privacy and world-class amenities. Set amidst beautifully landscaped grounds beneath the dramatic backdrop of La Concha mountain, the property enjoys panoramic views across the Mediterranean Sea while benefiting from Sierra Blanca’s 24-hour security and controlled access. Marbella town centre, Puerto Banús and the area’s finest beaches are all just minutes away.

An elegant entrance courtyard, centred around an ornamental fountain and circular driveway, creates a memorable arrival. A stately covered portico framed by travertine stone columns introduces the residence, where exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail are evident throughout. The interiors, designed by renowned designer Ernesto Palanco, perfectly complement the villa’s classical Mediterranean architecture, with warm rendered façades, traditional clay-tiled roofs, natural stone detailing, graceful arches and finely crafted balustrades.

The entrance hall is a spectacular introduction to the home, featuring a sweeping double staircase beneath a hand-painted domed ceiling, illuminated by an ornate wrought-iron chandelier. Marble flooring flows throughout the principal reception rooms, enhancing the sense of elegance and timeless sophistication.

Designed for both grand-scale entertaining and relaxed family living, the principal accommodation offers an exceptional balance of formal and informal spaces. The elegant drawing room, formal dining room and television lounge each feature bespoke ceilings, fireplaces and direct access to an expansive covered terrace overlooking the manicured gardens, infinity-edge swimming pool and Mediterranean coastline beyond.
The spacious family room, complete with fireplace, adjoins the bespoke Clive Christian kitchen, appointed with premium appliances, an informal dining area and a generous walk-in pantry. Two beautifully appointed en-suite guest bedrooms are also located on this level, connected by a private sitting room and opening directly onto the rear terrace. Two guest cloakrooms, positioned at either end of the main floor, provide additional convenience.

Designed to evoke the atmosphere of a private luxury resort, the landscaped gardens feature expansive lawns, mature palm and cypress trees, and generous sun terraces surrounding the spectacular infinity swimming pool. These beautifully designed outdoor spaces offer complete privacy while providing an exceptional setting for entertaining and year-round outdoor living.
