If location, location, location is a much used phrase in the real estate business, it is equally important in the movie industry. Having announced his intention to return to Spain's Costa Blanca to film his latest project, The Counselor – featuring Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem - director Ridley Scott was keen to find a modern, luxurious property that would be a believable residence for one of the wealthy characters.
Bearing these criteria in mind, the location scouts approached Christie's International Real Estate exclusive Affiliate Rimontgó for some suggestions and ideas, which the company, being a specialist in top quality property, was happy to provide.
It was eventually agreed that a beautiful villa in Monte Pego represented everything that the production team was looking for. From its elevated position, this astonishing property is a masterpiece of imaginative architecture and affords excellent views of the Mediterranean. Located approximately 30 kilometres from Jávea, and featuring a 2,113 square meter build size on a 12,000 square meter plot, this nine bedroom home matches anything that could be found in Beverly Hills.
Some of the most striking features are the two enormous living spaces that lead on to the exterior throughout, a private spa that includes an indoor pool, sauna and Turkish bath and a kitchen that even a three Michelin starred chef would envy. Every bedroom includes en-suite facilities and a memorable rooftop office area, which makes the most of the extraordinary views and features a peaceful Zen garden, capable of calming the most stressed executive.
Outside swimmers in the large infinity pool will find their gaze drawn towards the Mediterranean beyond, while a Jacuzzi provides further scope for relaxation.
This unique residence will allow the purchaser to live like a movie star and interest in this Monte Pego property is likely to be keen when The Counselor hits the movie screens. The property is available for sale via Rimontgó.
