A luxury home: style and comfort in harmony at Los Picos, Sierra Blanca

There are many luxurious homes in Marbella and its surroundings, which range in design from the traditional cortijo style to the new wave of white, angular edifices that owe as much to Beverly Hills as Marbella.

Few properties have been better able to combine the best aspects of both these architectural styles than our latest luxury listing – and produce something that is even more beautiful than the sum of its parts. Where once traditional homes used incorporated windows to keep out the heat of the summer, contemporary buildings, utilising modern materials and new technology, are air-conditioned from eco-friendly energy sources, allowing large, floor-to-ceiling windows that let the clear Mediterranean light flood the home.

Set in beautifully manicured gardens with decking arranged around the swimming pool and Jacuzzi, the wide terraces to the front of the house are ideally suited to genial summer evenings, dining al fresco or enjoying family barbeques by the large outdoor dining table.

Within, the home’s décor is the epitome of taste, with a stylish colour palette of muted greys, creams, whites and blues – yet cleverly accented throughout with hints and splashes of bolder colours.

The theme of convivial dining is maintained, with a large kitchen designed to satisfy the most demanding of chefs and an open plan living/dining room to provide a relaxed flow through the ground floor.

On the first floor we find the master suite – a sumptuous, intimate space that even here makes the most of the natural light, which floods from the skylight in the generous dressing and wardrobe area. The private terrace, accessed from the spacious bedroom, takes in views to the garden below and the coast in the distance. The lower level is fully equipped for either entertaining or fun family evenings, with a cosy home cinema room. A uniquely designed wine cellar is to be found here, as well as further accommodation for either staff or guests.
