Description
BlueLife Realty presents for sale this 523 m² contemporary-style villa nestled on a 4,139 m² plot in the heart of the tranquil Benahavis hills. This five-bedroom architectural marvel beautifully combines sleek, modern design with a bewitching natural environment. Approaching the house via a tree-lined driveway, you'll be greeted by a 500-year-old olive tree and a lush yucca. A natural bamboo bridge floats over the water and leads to the main entrance, where a breathtaking spectacle awaits you. A magnificent 20-foot-high bonsai ficus stands serenely in the heart of the villa in a reflecting pool playing with a waterfall and sunlight filtered through a glass ceiling above. The influence of architectural legends Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe is evident in the design, which seems to float on several bodies of water that gracefully traverse the house.
A floating bridge links the east and west wings, which house the private suites and an office adorned with souvenirs from around the world, including a piece of the moon. This residence caters to a variety of interests, whether you're a fan of soccer, golf, music or discovery, you'll be amazed by it. The master suite is a pure marvel, with two separate dressers whose interconnected design is the work of the Italian house Febal Casa. These commodes open onto a private garden with majestic conifers and the scent of wild jasmine, creating a regal dressing experience in front of a floor-to-ceiling backlit mirror. The suite's shower is simply spectacular, with its retractable glass ceiling allowing you to take a midnight dip under the stars. Luxurious bronze Noken accessories add to the opulence of the modern linear design. Continuing through the house on wide dark oak panels, you encounter a master bed that reclines, massages and even charges your phone. The ambience is enhanced by the warm glow of two magnificent Tom Dixon lamps in a rusty orange hue.
The property is home to a serene Japanese garden, the perfect place to reflect over a cup of matcha green tea. A melting mirror suspended from the concrete ceiling creates a whimsical effect reminiscent of Alice's adventures in Wonderland. Crossing a floating bridge with a waterfall on one side and a thick wall covered in green moss on the other, you are transported into a magical world, where rolling hills beyond a single pane of glass add to the enchanting experience. Casa Flotante invites you to enter your own magical world.
