Andalucia, Malaga, Frigiliana, Spain

In our opinion, this magnificent villa is in a league of its own; not only in the Frigiliana area but across the East of Malaga region. It is situated in a walled private gated plot, providing exceptional privacy, with a south-facing orientation with breathtaking sea views. Meticulously maintained and completely renovated by its current owners, every internal and external detail of this villa has been carefully considered.

Located in the sought-after area of Cortijo San Rafael in Frigiliana; nestled conveniently between the charming village of Frigiliana, and the vibrant town of Nerja which is known for its award-winning beaches, Casa Papillon offers tranquillity and accessibility.

With a total build size of 450m2, including an independent garage of 75m2 (incorporating a toilet and shower for gardeners and maintenance workers) accommodating two cars, with space for further cars under the carport. The villa itself, spans three floors (with an underneath storage area for garden equipment etc.) and features two living rooms (one of which has an en-suite bathroom and could be used as a bedroom Number Four, a playroom or cinema room), a fully equipped best-in-class Schmidt kitchen with granite work surfaces, all the necessary electrical appliances and a feature centre island. There are three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a large study and storeroom - that could be used as bedroom Number Four with en-suite and a glass curtain enclosed room, currently used as an exercise and art area, with bi-folding doors revealing spectacular views to the coast. There is also an outside building that houses two 3,000 litre water tanks through which the fresh water supply passes. Additionally, a log store and garden shed are conveniently and discreetly situated.

Upon entering the villa, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall that guides you to the upper and lower floors. On the ground floor you will discover two bedrooms, two bathrooms, the expansive open-plan living/dining room and kitchen.

The spacious living and dining area boasts a beautiful marble feature fireplace with a powerful log burning stove - with the potential of a 12Kw output, creating cosy winter nights - and four large glass sliding doors that open onto the terrace, flooding the room with natural light. You ll enjoy stunning sea views from the comfort of your living room or while dining al fresco on the terrace.

The high-quality, fully equipped kitchen offers ample storage and includes all fitted electrical appliances and offers coastal and garden views, direct access to the covered terrace where a large table, BBQ, and water feature await for breakfasts with a beautiful view or sunset dining. This terrace also leads down to the private pool (with a highly effective heating system if needed), a chill-out area underneath a roofed pergola and surrounded by lush private gardens.

The ground floor hallway leads to a family shower room (incorporating a cupboard housing a washer/dryer) and bedroom with fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom on this level features an ensuite shower room, fitted wardrobes, and a small Juliet balcony that captures the dazzling sea views. Ascending the stairs, you'll find the Master Suite, complete with a large ensuite shower room with twin sinks and underfloor heating, purpose built walk-in His & Hers wardrobe area, a very spacious bedroom with further wardrobes and breathtaking sea views.

Descending to the lower level, a hallway leads to the second lounge area, a family bathroom with bath and hand-held shower, leading to a floor to ceiling glass enclosed room currently used as an exercise and arts area. This large glass curtain enclosed area boasts bi-folding doors and opens onto the villa's private landscaped garden. The lower ground floor also includes a large study with driveway and carport access, and a substantial storage room that could easily be converted into bedroom Number Five with an ensuite bathroom or an independent guest apartment.

The property has many choice of terraces; you can enjoy the covered terrace off the main living room, which also has the advantage of sun blinds if required. On the lower level there are terraces where you can enjoy reading, or picking the passion fruit from the pergola. The poolside terrace provides a chill out area with another pergola offering extra shade if needed.

Throughout the beautifully maintained plot of 1806 m2 you will find a variety of over 20 fruit trees, landscaped with over 180 wooden railway sleepers creating an enchanting and low maintenance garden with a majestic pergola and patio. The poolside area and surrounding gardens offer a serene and private space.
