The E-MAGAZINE of Marbella Hills Homes

Many of our clients ask for contemporary homes with modern styles and amenities, so we make sure to have a personally made selection of quality properties that suit the requirements of our buyers. This includes not only style and build standard, but also quality materials, up to date technical amenities such as home automation systems, and of course a good location. The latter can vary according to one’s preferences, including beachside, country club and frontline golf locations, but always has to include privacy, views and easy access to surrounding facilities.

Like the properties themselves, kitchens in Marbella homes have changed a lot in the past ten years. If before, a more country style look was popular, today, that more rustic design has been largely replaced with more lineal, straight-angled, sleek kitchen cabinets often finished in lacquered white or cream and occasionally offset with matt wood.

Situated close to Río Real and Los Monteros, the peaceful residential area of Santa Clara is one of the most prestigious on the east side of Marbella. Here, a few hundred metres inland from the finest beaches and dunes in the region, residents enjoy a country club environment with villas ranged around the 18-hole golf course of the same name. Santa Clara’s clubhouse is an elegant centre with excellent golf facilities, as well as a fine restaurant, café and lounge area, not to mention driving range, pro shop and on-site coaching.

Many of the residents and homeowners of Marbella are car enthusiasts, and a good proportion of them own luxury and super sports cars. For this reason, you will see an impressive concentration of top marques such as Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Pagani, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Land Rover, Mercedes, Porsche and BMW on the local roads, and especially in places such as Puerto Banús and the New Golden Mile.

Inheritance tax is one of those taxes that irritates property owners in just about every country we can think of. When governments promise to scrap inheritance tax, there is not surprisingly a roar of approval, at least from property owners.

Las Brisas is one of the most desirable residential areas in Nueva Andalucía. Situated in its more northerly quarter, Las Brisas is renowned for its stunning villas, its greenery and tranquillity. Moreover, It is also valued by many residents because of its proximity to the famous Las Brisas Golf Club, and forms part of Marbella’s Golf Valley.
