You can live around the corner from tennis star Novak Djokovic—you only need to pay one of the highest price tags in Marbella, Spain.
A megamansion jam-packed with upscale amenities in one of the most luxurious neighborhoods in the coastal city has come to the market for €65 million (US$71.5 million). Spanning some 65,000 square feet, the mansion is within the gated community of Sierra Blanca, in the leafy foothills of the mountain range of the same name.

“The owner wanted to build something unique, in a paramount location, exclusive and private, surrounded by the escarpment and the impressive sea views,” said Marta Amann of Seville Sotheby’s International Realty, which listed the property earlier this month.
The plan worked. The villa obtained royal approval at the 2022 Macael Awards for architecture, craftsmanship and design, where it took the winning trophy for the best villa design in the world from King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain, Amann said.
Across its three floors, the manse has a staff kitchen, a main kitchen, a formal dining room, a formal living room with two marble fireplaces, an office, a TV room and a terrace with a fully equipped barbecue area, including a charcoal oven and a wood-fired pizza oven.

There are also 13 bedrooms including two for staff and a primary suite dual walk-in closets and a terrace with spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea and Gibraltar, according to the listing.
But it’s in the basement that all the best features can be found. That’s where there’s a 50-car garage, a fully equipped industrial kitchen, a 21-seat home cinema, and a spa area with a heated indoor wave pool, a hot tub, a sauna and a Turkish bath.
Plus there’s a two-lane bowling alley, a games room with a billiard table, foosball and air hockey, two air-conditioned wine cellars—one for red wines and the other for white—along with a tasting area, a gym and a beauty salon.

Outside is an infinity pool, with a second pool, designed specifically for children, right next to it.
The entertaining and wellness facilities are easily one of the most impressive parts of the home, as are “the breathtaking panoramic views,” Amann said.
The owners are a “discreet and lovely family, with [an] Italian background,” Amann added. Mansion Global couldn’t identify them.

With its 24-hour security, sweeping sea views and easy access to the town’s best amenities, Sierra Blanca has long attracted a diverse international community of buyers, including household names like Djokovic and Simon Cowell, Mansion Global has previously reported. Djokovic, who made it through the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Monday, lives just around the corner from the megamansion in one of the community’s few estates with its own tennis court.
It’s “a very prestigious gated community home to Marbella’s elite,” Amann said. “However you will never notice who is there, as this neighborhood boasts tranquility, exclusivity and privacy.”
