Some properties are merely built and sold. Others transcend the conventional, offering an immersive lifestyle that must be experienced to be truly understood. Otium Pernet unequivocally belongs to this rare second category. Conceived by the visionary architect Álvaro de Luna, this isn't just a house; it's a living organism – an architectural marvel designed to breathe, respond, and protect. This brand-new, pioneering villa in Estepona, a gem nestled in the heart of southern Spain's famed Costa del Sol, boldly redefines what it means to live exceptionally well in the 21st century. Here, luxury extends beyond mere opulence, embracing intelligence, holistic health, and profound responsibility towards our planet and future generations.
Set upon a generous 581 m² rectangular plot, Otium Pernet boasts an unparalleled location bordering a sprawling 50,000 m² protected green zone.
