Built to be lived in
Nestled in the serene hills of Benahavís, Casa Flotante is an architectural masterpiece that blends contemporary design with nature. This 815m² villa, situated on a 4,139m² plot, features flowing lines and a passive design with exposed, high-thermal-mass concrete. Its entrance is a spectacle, with a natural bamboo bridge over the water leading to a stunning foyer with a 6-meter-tall bonsai ficus in a reflecting pool, illuminated by sunlight streaming through a glass roof. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe, the villa's design appears to float on interconnected water features, creating a serene and harmonious living experience.
Casa Flotante offers five luxurious bedrooms, including a master suite with a double dressing room by the Italian brand Febal Casa, which opens onto a private garden with conifers and jasmine. The private bathroom features a retractable glass roof for starlit showers, complemented by opulent brass fixtures by Noken. The villa seamlessly blends elegance and functionality, with standout features such as a floating bridge connecting the east and west wings, an Italian Modulnova kitchen equipped with Gaggenau and Smeg appliances, and a minimalist dining area that extends onto a terrace for al fresco dining. Inside, the property's serene Japanese garden and bespoke design elements, such as Tom Dixon lamps and ADL Mitica doors, enhance the luxurious ambiance.
Designed for both entertaining and relaxation, Casa Floatante includes a state-of-the-art cinema room with a 98-inch Samsung television, which will be relocated beneath the pool for an immersive experience. The living spaces are adorned with Italian moss walls, a cozy fireplace, and expansive glass panels offering breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. From its unique architectural features to its top-notch finishes, Casa Flotante is a sanctuary that celebrates the harmony of nature, modernity and luxury, a perfect retreat in the heart of Marbella's exclusive real estate market.
