This unique property has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both space and natural light, offering a versatile layout with a separate studio apartment and a beautifully renovated main duplex home.

On entering the property, you have access to the independent studio apartment, which benefits from its own private entrance. The studio features an open-plan living and kitchen area, a separate bedroom and a modern en-suite bathroom, making it ideal for guests, family members, rental potential or simply as additional private accommodation.

From the studio, there is also access into the main house, which has been renovated and cleverly redesigned to maximise space, light and the surrounding views. The ground floor is predominantly open plan, creating a bright and welcoming living environment incorporating a comfortable living room, dining area and modern kitchen. A convenient guest WC completes this level.

Large windows throughout the property allow the outside scenery to become a central feature of the home, with sea and mountain views enjoyed from virtually every window and direct outlooks towards the surrounding gardens.

Upstairs, the property continues with a beautifully renovated master bedroom suite, complete with its own en-suite bathroom. The bedroom enjoys an exceptional outlook towards Sierra Bermeja, creating a stunning backdrop and a peaceful setting to wake up to each morning.

The outdoor space is what truly sets this property apart and gives it the feeling of a genuine home rather than a typical apartment. The property is approached via its own private gated driveway, providing excellent privacy and convenient off-road parking.

From here, you enter a beautifully maintained garden with a wonderful combination of sunny and shaded areas, lush green lawns and several terraced spaces that wrap around the property. Mature plants, established trees and carefully maintained greenery create a peaceful and private environment, offering plenty of options for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying the Mediterranean lifestyle.

Another excellent feature is the private garage, which has been designed primarily as a generous storage space, providing a highly practical area for keeping bikes, outdoor equipment, tools, furniture and personal belongings securely stored and out of sight.

One of the standout features is the stunning sea views, which can be enjoyed from numerous areas of the garden. The combination of private outdoor space, mature landscaping, terraces, dedicated storage, private parking and panoramic views makes the exterior an exceptional part of this unique home and a rare feature within La Duquesa.
