This exclusive detached villa is located in the elevated area of Altos de los Monteros, near the coast of Málaga. Situated on an expansive plot of over 71,000 m² with a built area of 1,206 m², the property offers a high degree of privacy. The elevation of 133 meters above sea level provides panoramic views of the sea and surrounding mountains. The villa comprises 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms across three levels. The estate includes facilities such as a horse stable and parking for 8 cars.
Compared to projects like 'Arosa' in Mijas (from €490,000) or apartments in Fuengirola (e.g., Waterfall Residences, from €720,000), this property is in a completely different price bracket and category. This is not a multi-unit development project but a unique estate. While comparable regional projects focus on communal amenities and apartments, this project offers exclusivity through size and land. The price per square meter deviates significantly from the coastal average, justified by the scarcity of plots of this size with sea views.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Altos de los Monteros, a forested hillside to the east of Marbella. This location offers a transition zone between the developed coast and the natural hinterland. Being approximately 4 km from the coastline (as the crow flies), the property enjoys sea views without the direct noise of tourist traffic. The substantial plot size of over 7 hectares ensures a significant buffer from neighbors.
Given the dimensions of the main building and the plot, this estate is designed for large families or multi-generational living. The presence of a horse stable makes it relevant for equestrian owners. The private pool and extensive terraces support a lifestyle centered largely around the private grounds of the estate.
This is an existing resale property. The construction phase is complete, and the condition is described as 'Good'. Specific dates regarding the build year or recent renovations are not provided. For technical details such as energy performance, the building dossier should be consulted. The property is equipped with air conditioning and central heating.
Due to the 'Country' and 'Close To Forest' setting, direct access to shops and dining is not within walking distance. A vehicle is required for daily groceries; the nearest supermarket is 2.1 km away. The size of the estate (7.2 hectares) necessitates maintenance, requiring time or financial resources. The project is not beachfront; the beach is accessible by car.
This property suits those who value a very high degree of privacy and autonomy. It is suitable for buyers seeking a country estate (finca) with equestrian facilities without compromising on modern comforts like air conditioning and central heating. The hillside location requires fitness or a willingness to drive; it is not for those who want everything within walking distance. It is a logical choice for large families sharing space, or for remote workers needing a quiet environment. The distance to the airport (34 km) also makes it viable as an international residence.
The finish is described as a 'rustic villa'. This implies the use of materials in harmony with the environment, such as terracotta tiles and natural stone, visible in the image analysis. The home features central heating and air conditioning, indicating comfortable year-round living. The terracotta flooring on balconies and outdoor areas suggests a durable finish suited to the Mediterranean climate. The 'good' condition indicates the building is functional, though buyers should inspect kitchens and sanitary installations.
The asking price for this villa is €12,500,000. This is a unique offering in the high-end segment of the Málaga real estate market. The pricing reflects the combination of location (very large plot with sea views), the scale of construction (over 1200 m²), and amenities such as the horse stable. There is no variation in housing type; this is a single unique property.
Daily life here is defined by seclusion and the physical scale of the land. Residents typically start their day with views over the Mediterranean and mountain ranges, thanks to the east, south, and west orientation. While travel to work or schools requires planning due to the distance to the highway and coast, the return home offers immediate tranquility. With 32 local holidays in the region, there is a vibrant calendar, though the estate's privacy allows residents to choose their level of participation. The proximity to Marbella (approx. a 10-minute drive) provides access to international schools and amenities without living amidst the bustle.
The immediate environment is characterized by vegetation and topography. Located on the edge of an 'urbanisation' but with a massive plot, the land acts as a buffer between the inhabited world and the wooded hinterland. This means residents are surrounded by nature and quiet, with privacy ensured by the distance from neighbors. For daily life, however, one relies on facilities in Marbella or the direct vicinity, such as El Alicate beaches or shops.
The map shows the property's position in the hills of Altos de los Monteros. Blue markers indicate the coastline and nearby beaches, while green zones represent the forest and nature areas surrounding the estate.
The villa is located in the area between Málaga and Marbella, specifically on the east side of Marbella (Altos de los Monteros). It is a place that exists between two worlds: the dynamism of Marbella and Puerto Banús, and the tranquility of the hinterland. The location is advantageous for those wanting access to Marbella's amenities without living in the busiest districts. Connections to the N-340 or AP-7 ensure quick transit to the airport.
Access to the coast and hinterland is by car. El Alicate beach is 4.0 km away (as the crow flies). Málaga Airport is 34 km away (approx. 30-40 min drive). For daily needs, there is a supermarket at 2.1 km and a hospital at 2.2 km. Golfers can access Greenlife Golf (5.3 km) or Santa María Golf (6.2 km). A private car is a requirement due to the hilly terrain and distances to amenities.
