Detached Villa in Istán

Perched on a private peninsula overlooking the Embalse de la Concepción, this detached villa in Istán offers an unparalleled living experience for those seeking absolute seclusion without sacrificing proximity to Marbella. The estate spans over 129,000 m² of pristine natural land, providing a dramatic backdrop where the azure waters of the lake meet the rugged peaks of the Sierra de las Nieves. This is a rare chance to acquire a vast territory that ensures total privacy, with the land extending directly to the lakeshore, creating a sanctuary of peace surrounded by ancient stone walls and mature pine forests.

The existing residence, a substantial house of 877 m², is distributed across two levels and serves as a magnificent canvas for a bespoke renovation. The proposed architectural layout features six spacious bedrooms and seven bathrooms, complemented by two guest toilets. The interior design prioritizes volume and light, with generous living areas that flow effortlessly into dedicated spaces for wellness and entertainment, including a private gym and a spa. Every room is positioned to capture the extraordinary panoramic views across the lake toward the Mediterranean horizon, Gibraltar, and the North African coast.

Outdoor living is elevated by over 717 m² of terraces, offering a mix of shaded lounges and sun-drenched decks perfectly oriented to the south-west. The property features a 62 m² swimming pool adjacent to the main house, plus a second pool located within the sprawling grounds. A private road meanders through the estate to the water's edge, highlighting the unique relationship between the architecture and its aquatic surroundings. With a First Occupancy Licence already in place from 1997, the renovation process is supported by a clear legal history.

Despite its feeling of remote majesty, the villa is exceptionally well-connected to the vibrant lifestyle of the Costa del Sol. A short 15-minute drive brings you to the luxury boutiques of Puerto Banús and the amenities of San Pedro de Alcántara. Marbella’s historic center is reachable in 20 minutes, while Málaga Airport is approximately 45 minutes away. This location offers a perfect balance for those who appreciate world-class golf courses and fine dining but wish to retreat to a private natural estate at the end of the day.
