The residential area of San Agustín de Guadalix, with 285 chalets and restricted access, is the refuge of Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, located 30 kilometres from the capital. The couple's house, designed by A-cero, exceeds 4,000 square metres of land.
The Valdelagua development, in the municipality of San Agustín de Guadalix, has become a refuge for several figures in Spanish cinema. Among its regular residents are Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, who have established their main base there, about 30 kilometres from Madrid. The information, reported by noticiasdelvino.com, also mentions Rocío Carrasco and Mónica Cruz as residents in the area.
The complex, next to the Regional Park of the Upper Manzanares Basin, features 285 chalets and restricted access. This combination of surveillance and low density has led the area to be considered the most protected from photographers in the entire Community of Madrid.
Valdelagua has only 285 luxury chalets. Access is restricted and it is regarded as the safest and most secure area against paparazzi in the entire Community of Madrid.
The couple's home was designed by the A-cero studio, founded by Joaquín Torres and Rafael Llamazares. The project follows a contemporary and minimalist style, featuring polished stone facades, marbles, and exotic woods. From the large windows, one can see the northern mountains of Madrid and the urban area of San Agustín de Guadalix.
The interior includes a private gym, swimming pool, jacuzzi, and a large garden. The plots in the development are around 4,000 square metres, a size that allows for distance from neighbours.
The average price of houses in Valdelagua ranges between 600,000 and 1.5 million euros, according to collected data. The most exclusive plots, such as those of the actors, far exceed this range. The connection to Barajas Airport is another attraction of the area: it allows one to go from the terminal to the sofa in less than twenty minutes.
The couple also maintains a 350 square metre flat near El Retiro Park, in a historic building with views of the park, for nights in the city centre. They also had a villa in Los Angeles, near Sunset Boulevard, which they sold for over 3 million euros, and they still own a house in the Bahamas.
The effect of these well-known residents is noticeable in the local real estate market. The areas of San Agustín de Guadalix and Colmenar Viejo are the ones gaining the most value in the surroundings, according to the data from the information.
