Overview:

Situated in the serene Forest Hills of Estepona, 'Ifield House' offers breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and mountains. Surrounded by evergreen cork oak and pine trees, this location provides a lush, green environment even during the height of summer. Forest Hills is a tranquil community home to a diverse mix of year-round residents, including families and retirees from various nationalities. The closest neighbours are English, and owned a renowned local golf course. Despite its peaceful setting, the area is well-equipped with amenities, including a tennis club, gym, riding school with stables, two local restaurants and a beach just four minutes down the hill where there is a supermarket, petrol station, Beso Beach club and restaurant, the newly opened Sublim beach club, bar and restaurant at Laguna Village and the facilities of the neighbouring 5* Kempinski Hotel.

Architecture and Design:

The villa is a contemporary Andalucían style, west-facing, and spans two levels. It features three double-bedroom suites set in the cool overlooking treetops, each with tasteful natural slate mosaic, wood, and glass bathrooms that complement the natural surroundings. The master bedroom suite is exceptionally spacious at 40m², larger than a typical two-bedroom flat in Central London. All bedrooms open onto large terraces, providing privacy and stunning views.

Key Features:

Entrance:

The villa was designed and built around a pair of oversized antique wooden church doors.
Main Living Area: The 50m² open-plan living/dining area boasts a pitched ceiling, a 10m high tower, and large picture windows on all sides, creating a light and airy space. This area opens onto two terraces, one for outdoor dining adjacent to the kitchen and the south terrace for relaxation with views of the Mediterranian and Atlas Mountains of Morocco on clear days.
Kitchen: Designed with cooking enthusiasts in mind, the kitchen features dark contemporary wenge wood cupboards with contrasting green mosaic tiled splashbacks, complimented by a wooden floor throughout. It includes a large expanse of cream silestone quartz worktops, an extensive wine rack, and a 6-burner stainless steel range (electric) oven with a matching stainless splashback and extractor. The connecting arch of the dining room with its south window is perfectly positioned to frame a spectacular view of the Mediterranean.

Outdoor Space:

One of the unique attractions is a 50m² infinity swimming pool lined with bottle green mosaic tiles inspired by the pool from the movie 'Stealing Beauty,' with a natural stone surround, blending seamlessly with the natural landscape of the lush green valley. A large hardwood decking terrace with sun loungers to enjoy all-day sunshine has access to the lower lawn, bedroom suites, upper lawn, and terraces via traditional wooden railway sleeper steps. Additional stone steps lead up to the large private terrace and sunloungers of the master bedroom suite.

Additional Features:

Two boiler systems (gas and electric). A sealed 80m² basement area at pool level can be converted into additional accommodation, a self-contained apartment, or a media room with a gym and sauna. Ifield House is a meticulously designed dream home that perfectly blends luxurious living, natural beauty, and modern convenience.
