Welcome to Villa Vela, a 17.9 exquisite modern mansion. I'm Artur Loginov, CEO of Drumelia,
a high-end real estate firm in Marbella, and today we are going to present you with one of
the most spectacular homes ever built in the neighborhood of Sotogrande, and with the most
impressive Drumelia in-house marketing production. This is how you present a 17.9 million house.
Villa Vela stands on a plot of just under 6,000 square meters. Its total interior build size
is 1,700 square meters, with additional 1,400 square meters of terraces, providing us
with fantastic proportions and an impressive one-of-a-kind layout to make your experience
of this home unrepeatable. The long oval facades, unique entrance water features,
captivating garden designs, even on the first floor with palm trees breaking through the
property, picture-perfect nature views combined with total peace and tranquility, outstanding
quality and architecture throughout every common and living area of this home, with a special
interior design, an immense spa, total of five-bedroom suites plus a staff bedroom, and three
completely different terrace floor settings integrated with the landscape that stand
in the only privately guarded community inside the private community of Sotogrande with 24-hour
security, with just three similar mansions inside that share private driveway that opens the
property view once you enter its private personal access as something exclusive, hidden, and
therefore more special, all this creating an overall impressive sensation, and that's why we
are here today presenting you Villa Vela, a hidden gem of Spain and an oasis for the best private
lifestyle imaginable. Sotogrande is set just 45 kilometers west from Marbella, being that 30-minute
comfortable drive and offers a wide range of six-star-level amenities for its residences.
Sotogrande started its development in the 60s and precisely today has reached a turning point
in the high-end market with several villas of cinema caliber already successfully selling and
the most exclusive villas coming to the market. The potential of Sotogrande, the level of brands
and developers that are already heavily investing in Sotogrande, the new amenities and hotels,
the generosity of the plot sizes, the views, the privacy, and the wide range of investments
available combined with an absence of good stock in our beloved Marbella, we believe are the
foundations that are already laid and prepared that will activate the market of Sotogrande and
affect a bigger demand and stronger price consolidations in the very close future.
Sotogrande, still just an urbanization, not a town like Marbella, consists of 27 hectares
with kilometers of unspoiled beaches, offers the most romantic marina port with the restaurants
and 1,400 moorings, some at the doorstep of your home, to enjoy an incredible boat getaway into
the Mediterranean with many unique stops like Port Benus or some, believe me, incredible bays to sleep
over in the area of Almeria and Alicante on your way to, let's say, Ibiza. But the beautiful port is
just the beginning. What consolidates this community and the high-end market rising rapidly
are the two of the top three-ranked golf courses in Spain, with Valderrama prized as the number
one golf course in continental Europe, having hosted world golf championships in the 2000s.
Of course, also a large amount of tennis courts and one of the best polos in the world
attracts many visitors. The Trocadero Beach Club, rated as one of Europe's best beach clubs
with two restaurants and two swimming pools set above the seawater, gives an additional vibe.
And we also have the Sotogrande International School, one of the best on the Mediterranean
Spanish coast, and this, I say as an old student. Lastly, a recently opened five-star luxurious
sofa hotel and one-of-a-kind in Spain private beach, La Reserva, with an artificial lagoon,
water sports, beach club. Finish my list of favorites in Sotogrande, with more lifestyle
projects in the process soon. And just above La Reserva Beach Club, in the best spot of Sotogrande,
is where Villa Vella stands. Hidden in the landscape of the nature among many other high-end
villas, arriving with your car, you experience the first breathtaking images of the back facade
through a circular courtyard. Being able to park the car in front of the passarello to the main
entrance, part covered by the top floor, or driving directly into the private garage, where you would
have a convenient connection to the house. Or coming out here and proceeding to enter the home
through this oval massive outdoor patio. Being completely blown away by this curvature of the
facade, water features, stunning trees, high-quality floor-to-ceiling pivoting door, part of the cool
box entry, all of this telling you, this is something else. At first, this unorthodox layout
is intriguing, but once you get a feel for it, it's super special. Finally, we're in the living
room, with three different areas, the centerpiece seating, the formal dining room, and the TV seating.
With this stunning floor-to-ceiling windows, with a picture view captivating all attention, providing
access to the huge outdoor terraces and spaces, the interior design is stunning. Due to some of
the best brands in the property, we will see an idyllic combination of Versace, Roberto Cavalli,
Roche Bobois, and other Italian world-known brands, with an additional touch of beautiful
art pieces around the property, creating that modern living. Through these sliding designer
doors, we connect the living room with this highly spacious kitchen. Imagine in the morning,
the sun fills in the room with so much natural light. We have a beautiful interconnected double
island, natural dark wood in combination with white ceramic all around, and this beautiful
decoration makes this room a marvelous joy for your breakfast mornings and dinings. All connected
with the outdoor dining spaces for all dining options. You also have a direct access in the
corner of the terrace, to the bottom area where sits the outdoor massive infinity pool with
dozens of sunbeds, and a barbecue and bathroom area. The proportion of this kitchen is superb.
Behind, we have an extra pantry room, lots of storage, all connected through a corridor with
the garage, from where you can access the living area, and also the staff corridor, with the laundry
and staff bedroom, with beautiful views from its own private corner garden. From the main living,
we can also access the guest toilet, lift and staircase that lead us only to the bottom
entertainment level, where there's many things to see, with the main feature being a stunning huge
spa with floor-to-ceiling windows around, and direct views and access to the outdoor pool.
On the opposite side, slightly sheltered from the main room, in a more private atmosphere,
sits a spacious office or a private meeting room, conveniently located between the main bedroom
area and living, featuring its own private terrace for informal private coffee chat, whilst enjoying
the magnitude of your home, away from the main activity that typically happens in the kitchen
area, which in this case would be exactly on the opposite side of the house, and by making use of
these oval shapes of the building, this terrace has been pushed back into the house, providing
additional intimate feeling to it. The hallway from the office, with light and glass on both sides,
leads us to a grand staircase, executed in a round shape, providing us, together with the private
lift, access only to the most private wing of the property, the four-bedroom suites that are
laid out on the top floor, including the master in the west wing. Truly, every corner of the top floor
is absolutely unique. I've never seen such stunning combination of architecture with landscape in the
bedroom floor, providing a feel of serenity and peace, elevating this home above so many,
starting by the oval hallway, the incredible view from every bedroom and bathroom into the round
entrance patio with the water features, and the garden terraces of this floor that are simply
huge. Somehow, I think it's an amazing feeling to look out from your bedrooms onto these massive
gardens, and not just the standard terracing. This place, one of the wow features of this home, can be
accessed from all the bedrooms, and is the perfect spot for the sunrise gazing in the early morning,
when the first sunlight hits the curves of this home. A little bit of yoga, a little bit of
meditation, beautiful breakfast, and in the evening, when the sun goes down, the lavelle entertains you
with its darker character. The unique architectural shapes light up, with the bespoke lighting systems
studied to bring up to your attention the best this home has to offer, creating a memorable
experience for anyone that sets foot into this property and captures it at its peak moment.
The master bedroom features a walk-in closet and a charming bathroom with double vanity on each side,
and a freestanding bath opposite the windows with the best views of this home,
like an art piece positioned in the center of the room. Travertine on the walls, elegant forces,
and neat decoration throughout, with two showers and a separate water closet, adds the touches of
comfort and relaxation to the master. But the true relaxation happens on the entertainment floor,
and this space is a superb addition to the property that does not stop to impress,
ticking every single box that you could desire to have in your perfect house,
starting with a movie theater for the whole family to enjoy, exposition of wine in your
bodega with temperature control, chilling and dining area, fitness machines, a grand interior
heated pool, further great jacuzzi areas combined with a bar and sauna, hammam, and bathrooms,
filled with light with uninterrupted eye view to the garden. The entire spa level is surrounded by
floor-to-ceiling glass doors, all of which can be opened up to the outside, bringing in the nature
in an idyllic combination to enjoy your best moments and celebrate life. Outside, separated by
a few steps to underline the two different spaces we access the main garden areas, where the elegant
outdoor pool sits, huge according to the magnitude of the facade that this home offers.
Plenty of space around, don't forget this is a 6,000 square meter plot, but if for some reason
you need a bigger garden for your tennis courts, guest houses, garage for 30 cars and so on,
you have the chance to buy the plot behind this house from the same owner that does not affect
the property in any way possible of 3,750 square meters to recreate your wildest dreams,
all of them in one property, adapting it completely to your lifestyle.
And speaking of guest houses, let's not forget that this property offers one. Set at the far
corner of the plot, privately positioned, it does not disturb the main property in any way or form,
stands another round building slightly buried into the ground for even further separation,
offering one ensuite bedroom with a quiet intimate terrace. It has been a true pleasure
to show you this home and explain about what Soto Grande has to offer.
Our team has done an incredible effort and I hope you enjoyed this presentation.
We remain at your disposal for any queries about Soto Grande or our hometown Marbella
and from all Dromelia, we wish you a wonderful day. Thank you for watching.
