Villa Jade

Description

Traditional Spanish arches and cosy beamed ceilings frame this grand Cortijo, updated to high-tech amenities and steeped in modern style.

Villa Jade is a home of contrasts – a stunning and antique estate, where old and new coexist in perfect harmony. Just as you think you’re stepping into a 100-year-old cortijo, Villa Jade surprises you. As you step back into time – into a stately home of white-washed walls, Spanish arches, exposed beams, open fireplaces and flagstone flooring – you simultaneously step into the amenities afforded only by modern luxury.

Villa Jade offers an old-world Spain of modern comforts, a grand hacienda of five-star amenities – a new standard for bespoke luxury, as only Andalusia can promise. It is here, within the sun-drenched interiors of an authentic estate, that underfloor heating unrolls underfoot, that lighting and temperature are controlled by a domotics system, that a gourmet kitchen offers top-of-the-range appliances, that Airplay sound booms from integrated speakers, that lightning-fast WiFi speeds out to the pool.

This seven-bedroom estate unfolds over 800 spacious square-metres (8,600 square-feet) of romantic cortijo, standing proud over the most scenic countryside in Andalusia: the green, rolling hills of Ronda, grassy fields alive with galloping horses, and, further, the jagged and timeworn peaks of the Sierra Nevadas.

This magnificent setting is befitting of Villa Jade, a home that draws inspiration from Andalusia’s Moorish heritage and Andaluz décor. You’ll see it in every warm, well-thought detail: in the wooden carvings that decorate the walls, in the Moroccan lamps that light your way, in the antique hidraulicos tiles that bloom underfoot. You’ll feel it in the calming Chefchaouen blue hues in the central patio, where a glass ceiling feels reminiscent of a Riadh. In the handmade and hand-painted pieces that furnish the bedrooms. In every detail, every corner of this quintessential Spanish villa that answers your heart’s demand for old-world Spain with all the modern, high-tech trimmings.

A hectare of manicured gardens, outdoor pool and heated whirlpool frame a view of green hills, silver-grey mountains, and kaleidoscopic fields in bloom.

Blending into the green rolling hills of Ronda, backed by the craggy peaks of the Sierra de las Nieves, Villa Jade’s stately beauty stands the test of time. Here, the traditions of old-world Spain live on, spanning 10,000m2 of immediate surroundings – a designer swimming pool, manicured garden and expansive views – and 300 hectares of sublime scenery belonging to the estate awaiting exploration.

This is a villa of views, of peace, of luxury, of timeless style – a tranquil place for families to enjoy precious time away. Precious time together, to be more precise. Time to lounge in the exceptionally large and uniquely designed swimming pool, with its wooden footbridge leading to its volcanic centre – a year-round heated Jacuzzi with a view. Sun-loungers surround the pool and shaded terraces offer outdoor relaxation and al fresco dining at the Argentine grill and wood-fired pizza oven.

This is a villa to enjoy at any time of year; families relish the time to explore the colours of spring when the fields come to life in an explosion of purple and yellow blooms, bordered by bright red poppies. While in Autumn, you can revel in the September grape harvest at nearby boutique vineyards, or the annual Feria Goyesca, a treasured annual event that celebrates Ronda’s unique heritage.
