Villa for Sale in Nueva Andalucia, Marbella, Malaga

Cerquilla 57A is one of a pair of newly completed villas by Jacobsen Arquitectura in La Cerquilla, the quiet, gated pocket of Nueva Andalucia that borders the fairways of the Golf Valley. The villa offers 488 square metres of accommodation on a plot of 890 square metres, with four bedroom suites, sea and golf views from its upper levels, and the clean, disciplined architecture for which the Jacobsen studio, known for its refined contemporary houses in Spain and Scandinavia, has earned its reputation.

The house is arranged over three levels. The entrance level carries an open living, dining and kitchen space wrapped in floor to ceiling glazing, so that the garden and pool read as an extension of the room rather than a view from it. Materials are kept deliberately calm, pale stone floors, natural timber and glass, allowing the proportions and the light to do the work. The bedroom level places the principal suite towards the views with a walk in wardrobe and a bathroom finished like a private spa, while the lower level adds the flexible space, garage, gymnasium and entertaining rooms, that a house of this standard is now expected to provide.

Outside, 193 square metres of terraces connect the living spaces to the private pool and landscaped garden. The outdoor kitchen and covered dining terrace make the garden usable through the seasons, and the elevated position gives the upper terraces long views across the valley towards the sea.

La Cerquilla is among the most established addresses in Nueva Andalucia, a controlled, residential enclave surrounded by the courses of Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha, minutes from the commercial heart of the Golf Valley. It attracts golfers, families and buyers who want a settled neighbourhood rather than a development, and property here is tightly held.

The villa suits year round living for a family drawn to the golf and the international schools nearby, and equally a second home that can be locked and left with confidence inside a gated community. Its essentials sit close at hand:

Beach: 10 minutes
International schools: 6 minutes
Puerto Banus: 8 minutes
Marbella centre: 15 minutes
Malaga Airport: 45 minutes
Restaurants and shopping: 5 minutes
