Terra Meridiana - Introduction to Cascada de Camoján

Nestled among the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park and to the southeast of Marbella’s famous La Concha mountain, the high-end residential area of Cascada de Camojan is an oasis of tranquility, yet lies conveniently close to all the amenities of the Costa del Sol.
WHAT IS CASCADA DE CAMOJÁN?
The secluded and secure area of Cascada de Camoján is named after the waterfalls that are found along the course of the Arroyo de Guadalpín stream that runs directly east of the urbanisation. Made up of only eight numbered streets in a gated community, Cascada de Camojan is just as sought-after as its equally upscale neighbour, Sierra Blanca, but feels even more private and protected. The first houses built in the area date from the 1960s and ‘70s, but most have been constructed since the start of the 2000s.
Located on the north side of the AP-7 toll highway and directly to the east of Sierra Blanca, Cascada de Camoján is separated from the Xarblanca Park urbanisation by a valley and bordered by nature reserves. Its exclusive homes, most of which stand in sizeable gardens and enjoy views of the Mediterranean Sea, are set among pine forests and the presence of water nearby keeps the area cool in the summer months.
WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF CASCADA DE CAMOJÁN?
The original developers of the urbanisation Cascada de Camoján were a well known family from Marbella with the surname Lavigne. The urbanisation was formed at the end of the 1960´s. The name of the original finca was “Camojan”, and because there is a waterfall situated in the stream / arroyo Camojan that has water during the winter rainfall, the name of the urbanization was called “Cascada de Camojan”. Cascada means waterfall.
The developers intention from the beginning was to create a country feel with larger plots of between 2,000m2 to 10,000 m2 for individual villas. The intention was to create a country club or rustic urbanization outside but still close to the centre of Marbella. With the passing of years the urbanisation gradually became more consolidated with lots of green areas and impressive villas. The quality, peace, and privacy of the urbanisation have been retained since the beginning.
