Marbella
Home of X Factor Judge on Sale for €40 Million
 |
fresh-faced here in 2010,One Direction auditioned at the
Marbella villa when Simon Cowell was their X Factor mentor.

This now famous villa, where many dreams have been made and
broken over the past decade, is now on sale and can be yours for around €40
million.
The property, situated along the coastline of the Costa del
Sol between Marbella and Fuengirola, has impressed millions each year thanks to
the stunning views, bountiful gardens, incredible interiors, and swimming
pools.
What made it most famous was when it became the location of
the first successful audition of boyband One Direction. It has gone on to
become the birthing place of many X Factor success stories.
Now though the home is going up for auction and whoever gets
it will have quite a treat on their hands; the property is on a 7,000 square
metre plot, comes with complete views of the Mediterranean, along with tennis
courts, indoor and outdoor pools, gardens, and a dozen en-suite bathrooms. Even
the bathrooms have a stunning ocean view.
The home could certainly be considered one of the jewels in
the crown of Marbella, but it’s hardly a unique site in the region. There are
many such luxurious villas in the Costa del Sol; the place where privilege
meets privacy.
What makes the property unusual is that it is not on the
Golden Mile between Marbella and Puerto Banús. Instead it can be found further
along the coastline in a quiet area close to Eliviria. That’s why it offers
more in the way of privacy than your average mega-villa in Marbella, and why it
has a larger price tag.
Given how much success One Direction has accomplished since
that fateful day in the villa we wouldn’t be surprised if one of them tried to
purchase it.
However, the property is a little out of reach for anyone
who isn’t super rich given the €40 million price tag. The good news for Simon
Cowell is that the super-rich can always be found in Marbella.
