Situated within the established residential enclave of Hacienda Las Chapas, this detached villa offers 1,190 m² of accommodation on a 4,037 m² plot. The location provides proximity to the coastline while maintaining a suburban character, with 24-hour security monitoring within the community. The property is positioned 27 metres above sea level, facing south and south-west, with views extending towards the Mediterranean, the African coastline, and La Concha mountain. The surrounding infrastructure includes immediate access to basic amenities and golf facilities, situating the residence between the busier hubs of Marbella and Fuengirola.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is located in Hacienda Las Chapas, part of the Marbella East district. The setting is characterised by low-density residential developments and green zones. The terrain is predominantly flat, with a gradient of approximately 1.7% towards the sea. This specific location balances coastal access with inland privacy, being less than 2 kilometres from the shoreline but set back from the main coastal motorway (AP-7). The area is known for established villas rather than high-density tourist resorts.
With 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms across three floors, the layout accommodates large families or configurations requiring separate staff and guest quarters. The inclusion of two separate guest apartments on the lower floor allows for multi-generational living or hosting without compromising the main residence's privacy. The total surface area of 1,190 m² implies extensive communal living spaces, alongside private terraces for each of the five upper-floor bedrooms. The plot size permits extensive outdoor amenities, including a heated pool and manicured gardens.
The property is presented in excellent condition, featuring modern architectural integration with the natural landscape. While not a new-build development off-plan, the construction quality and specifications, such as domotic home automation and underfloor heating, align with contemporary standards for high-value residences. The property is ready for immediate occupation without the need for structural renovation, having been designed by a renowned architect to maximise the plot's topographical advantages.
The property does not form part of a managed resort complex, meaning external services like beach clubs or restaurants require transportation. The immediate vicinity is strictly residential; while supermarkets are within 150 metres, high-end retail or nightlife hubs are concentrated in Marbella or Elviria. The plot size and maintenance requirements (4,037 m² garden) necessitate ongoing upkeep resources. The location is car-dependent for reaching international schools or the city centre, despite being only 10 kilometres away.

This residence suits households requiring extensive space for family members and staff, prioritising privacy over walkable urban density. It is appropriate for those who entertain regularly but wish to do so in a private, controlled environment rather than a commercial venue. The separation of guest quarters on a different floor level makes it suitable for hosting extended family or staff who require autonomy. The location is well-suited for individuals who frequent the golf courses of Marbella East or require rapid access to the AP-7 motorway for travel to Málaga or Gibraltar. It is less suitable for those seeking a lock-up-and-leave apartment with minimal maintenance, as the grounds and pool systems require regular servicing.
The specification includes premium fixtures designed for durability and climate control. Technical systems extend beyond standard air conditioning to include underfloor heating (hot/cold) and a fully integrated domotic system for managing lighting, climate, and security. The interior finishes, as evidenced by the ornate chandeliers and fitted kitchen islands, suggest a blend of traditional luxury and modern functionality. The wellness area on the lower ground floor, featuring a hammam and sauna, is constructed with materials resistant to humidity. Exterior features, such as the heated pool and automated irrigation, indicate a focus on year-round usability rather than seasonal only. The orientation maximises natural light, reducing the reliance on artificial lighting during the day.
The property is listed at €9,500,000. In the Marbella East luxury segment, pricing is heavily influenced by plot size, sea views, and proximity to the beach. This price point reflects the combination of a plot exceeding 4,000 m² and a constructed area of over 1,000 m², placing it in the prime market category. Comparative properties in Hacienda Las Chapas with similar dimensions typically trade within this range, though variation occurs based on the degree of modernisation and specific sea view clarity. The price indicates an asset aimed at equity-heavy buyers rather than mortgage-dependent entrants.
The rhythm of life here is defined by the contrast between the enclosed, private sanctuary of the villa and the accessibility of the coastal zone. Mornings typically begin with sunlight on the south-west facing terraces, utilising the outdoor spaces for much of the day due to the mild climate. The presence of 24-hour security creates a quiet, protected environment where traffic is limited to residents. Daily amenities, such as the local supermarket, are within a short walk, but the lifestyle leans towards domestic enjoyment within the perimeter of the property, utilising the pool, garden, and indoor wellness facilities like the hammam and sauna. The proximity to Cabopino Golf allows for sporting activity without long drives, yet the location remains sufficiently removed from the tourist traffic of Marbella centre to ensure evening tranquility.
The surrounding urbanisation is mature, with paved roads and established landscaping. Within a 2-kilometre radius, residents have access to 138 restaurants and 29 pharmacies, indicating a high density of services that cater to both permanent residents and tourists. The proximity to the Artola and Cabopino beaches (1.5 km) means the sea is a functional part of the weekly routine, particularly during the summer months when the beach clubs are active. However, the immediate environment is suburban, characterised by detached villas and gardens. The sound environment is generally quiet, dominated by local traffic and garden maintenance equipment, rather than the noise of bars or nightlife. The nearby La Cala Resort and Santa María Golf Club provide green belts that visually separate the residential areas from the main road.
The map visualises the villa's strategic position between the AP-7 motorway and the coastline. It highlights the buffer of the Cabopino Golf course to the south-east and the direct road connection to Marbella centre. The relative isolation from the main tourist traffic flows along the A-7 is visible, reinforcing the privacy aspect of the location.
Hacienda Las Chapas functions as a transitional zone between the high-density tourist areas of Fuengirola to the west and the opulence of Marbella to the west. It is geographically positioned to serve both, offering access to the international schools of Elviria and the nightlife of Marbella without being in the centre of either. This positioning results in a lower population density than Fuengirola but a more accessible price point and infrastructure than the 'Golden Mile' of Marbella. It is one of the last areas on the eastern side of Marbella where large plots of 4,000 m² are still available before the urbanisation density increases towards Málaga.
Strand: Playa de Artola is 1.5 km away (approx. 4 min drive or 20 min walk). The nearest major marina is Cabopino, 1.6 km distant. Golf: Cabopino Golf is the closest at 1.2 km. Supermarkets: Daily groceries can be obtained at a supermarket 149 m from the property. Hospitals: The nearest major hospital is 6.6 km away, typically a 10-12 minute drive. Airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is 39 km away, approximately 30-35 minutes by car via the AP-7. The urbanisation connects easily to the A-7 coastal road, providing flexibility for regional travel.

The location benefits from a microclimate characteristic of the eastern Costa del Sol, with an average annual temperature of 19.1°C. The elevation of 27 metres ensures good airflow while maintaining proximity to the sea. Historical data indicates 3,851 hours of sunshine per year, allowing for extensive outdoor living. The swimming season in the sea typically lasts 5 months (May to October), though the heated pool extends this period significantly. The orientation towards the south-west provides exposure to the evening sun, which moderates the temperature inside the house during the hotter months. The surrounding vegetation consists of Mediterranean pine and ornamental gardens, which require irrigation during the dry summer months.

The coastline in this sector is defined by sandy dunes, particularly at Playa de Artola and Cabopino. Both beaches hold Blue Flag status, indicating high water quality and managed facilities. The dunes of Artola are a protected natural area, offering a landscape of shifting sands and pines that contrasts with manicured golf courses. The Cabopino marina offers nautical services and a variety of dining options. Golf is a primary recreation here, with three courses within 2.5 km (Cabopino, Santa María, Greenlife). Nikki Beach and various chiringuitos (beach bars) provide social venues within a short driving distance.

In comparison to developments further west such as Nueva Andalucía or The Golden Mile, Hacienda Las Chapas offers a more suburban and quieter atmosphere at a comparatively lower price point per square metre, while still providing immediate access to Marbella's amenities. Projects to the east, like Arosa in Mijas or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, differ fundamentally in nature; they are often part of high-density complexes with shared communal facilities, priced significantly lower (starting from €490k to €720k) due to the lack of private plot size and distance from the prime Marbella district. This villa represents the 'country estate' model within the municipality of Marbella, distinct from the 'apartment-living' model prevalent in Fuengirola. The inclusion of 9 bathrooms across 7 bedrooms indicates a level of luxury and spaciousness that is scarce in the current market, where new builds often maximise density at the expense of private outdoor space.
