An Ultra-Luxurious Villa in Gibraltar

Listing of the Day

Location: South District, Gibraltar

Price: £8.5 million (US$11.3 million)

Villa Beaumont is one of five ultra-luxurious villas within The Sanctuary, a development located in Maida Vale upon the rock of Gibraltar, a British overseas territory at the southern tip of the Spanish Iberian peninsula.

Bordering Gibraltar’s nature reserve and lying only a short distance into town, the residence offers space, peace, and stunning scenery, as well as convenience and security.

The super-modern and self-contained home—fully equipped with a range of spaces for family life, work, recreation and relaxation—has "all the facilities that any human being would ever want," according to listing agent Sammy Armstrong.

Gibraltar has historically been a mixture of old villas and tall apartment buildings, making The Sanctuary a unique development catering to the caliber of client that Gibraltar is starting to attract, given its booming finance industry.

It is becoming like "a little Monaco," according to Ms. Armstrong. She points out, however, that it is rare to find this standard of property—which might cost about US$50 million in Monaco—on the market for US$8.5 million.

The home boasts three reception rooms, four kitchens, and an independent apartment suite for staff, as well as a 24/7 secure concierge entrance.

Neighborhood Notes

The Sanctuary lies at the mouth of the South District of Gibraltar, a residential area. Being right at the beginning of the residential area, the location is within walking distance of town, while still offering space and privacy.

A burgeoning financial and tech center, Gibraltar’s biggest industries include insurance, online gaming, and blockchain technologies, being the first place in Europe to have regulation for blockchain technology, as of January of this year.

Ms. Armstrong says that although tiny, Gibraltar "tends to punch above its weight… It really works as a mini city."

Gibraltar’s "playground" is Spain, according to Ms. Armstrong, with Malaga being the closest city. As a peninsula on the cusp between the Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans, it offers the luxury of the Mediterranean as well as the more rustic and bohemian Atlantic activities like kitesurfing and windsurfing.
