El Madroñal, Country living at a few minutes from Marbella

El Madroñal is a pine cork forested residential area of private estates situated close to Marbella at around a 15min drive and to the coast at 10min, and only a 40 minutes drive to the old city of Ronda. The estate is conveniently located at short driving distance to golf courses such as Los Arqueros Golf Course, La Quinta Golf and the golf courses of the Golf Valley. An abundance of recreational facilities can be found in nearby Puerto Banus, the world famous marina, at a 15min drive.

The estate is accessed via 6 entrances spread along the Ronda road, all of them gated and controlled via security cameras and security guards 24 hours a day. Additionally the estate borders La Heredia, a residential complex of villas and townhouses, which has been built in the style of a traditional Andalusian village with cobbled streets, beautiful squares with fountains and abundance of flowers and colours and which conveniently offers a Dutch bakery and café, Dutch butcher and a restaurant. Moreover just 5min down the road from El Madroñal is the Monte Halcones shopping centre, with restaurants/cafés and an Opencor supermarket open every day until 2am.

El Madroñal’s appeal is found in its location, offering countryside living, tranquillity and peace, yet in close proximity to all types of amenities as well as the security within the estate. Its hilly terrain means that most plots will enjoy beautiful sea views.

The estate is not fully developed yet, but is well planned out so that plots are a minimum of 2600square meters giving the villas privacy and tranquillity. Exceptions, although, are found in plots in entrance 1 bordering the neighbouring La Heredia, which can be up to a minimum of 600sq meters. Within El Madroñal you can find a variety of properties, ranging from grand country estates with commanding views of the Mediterranean coast to charming rustic homes, hidden away within the forests of the estate. El Madroñal is a great option for those who enjoy countryside living but want to be close to all types of amenities and services.
