This four-bedroom duplex penthouse is situated in Altos de los Monteros, an established residential area in the hills above East Marbella. The property offers 250 m² of living space across two floors, with four bathrooms, a large terrace off the living area and a private rooftop terrace connected to the master suite. The home was completed in 2005 and is key-ready. Marbella town centre lies approximately 5 km away as the crow flies, and the nearest beach, El Alicate, is 4.1 km in a straight line. The asking price is €795,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Altos de los Monteros sits on the hillside east of Marbella, roughly 5 km from the town centre as the crow flies and about 4 km from the coast. The area combines a residential setting with views over the sea, mountains and forest. At an elevation of 163 metres, the location sits above the coastal strip while remaining within a short drive of Marbella's beaches and amenities.
The layout serves households needing four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The lower floor concentrates living, dining and kitchen functions with a terrace for outdoor use. The upper floor offers a master suite with walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom and rooftop terrace, plus a second en-suite bedroom, giving privacy between occupants. A guest toilet and separate laundry room support daily routines.
This is an existing home, completed in 2005, not a new-build development. The property is described as key-ready and in excellent condition. The construction phase is finished; no delivery dates or construction milestones apply. Any renovation or modernisation requirements would need to be assessed during a viewing, given the building's age of roughly two decades.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are limited to the communal pool of the complex. No private garden or garage is listed in the available data. Only one restaurant is registered within 2 km, so daily shopping and dining depend on car travel to Marbella or nearby urbanisations. The slope towards the beach is moderate at 4.0%.
This property suits a household that needs four bedrooms and four bathrooms, for example a family with older children who value separate bathrooms, or two generations sharing a home with distinct private zones. The upper floor with two en-suite bedrooms works for households that regularly host guests for longer periods. Buyers seeking a key-ready home without waiting for construction will find the completed status relevant, as no delivery dates or building risk apply. The location fits residents who prefer a quiet hillside setting with views over sea, mountains and forest, and who accept that a car is part of daily life, since only one restaurant lies within 2 km and the beach is over 4 km away. The south and west orientation of the terraces matters to buyers who prioritise afternoon and evening sun for outdoor dining. Households requiring a private pool or garden should note that this property offers a communal pool and terraces only. Professionals relocating to the Costa del Sol for a long-term stay, as well as buyers of a second residence near Marbella, fall within the realistic user group. Buyers focused exclusively on new-build construction or on walking distance to the beach would need to consider alternatives.
The property dates from 2005 and is recorded as being in excellent condition. The interior layout reflects the construction period of the mid-2000s: a generous living-dining area, a kitchen adjacent to the living space, and a bedroom configuration split over two floors with three full bathrooms and a guest toilet. The master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, features typical of the higher segment of that era in East Marbella. Climate control consists of air conditioning. The property has both a covered terrace and an open private terrace on the lower level, plus a rooftop terrace connected to the master suite. The building forms part of a complex with a communal swimming pool. No data is available on recent renovations, kitchen appliances, window frames, insulation values or heating systems beyond air conditioning. Prospective buyers are advised to assess the technical state of installations, given the building's age of approximately twenty years. Items that typically warrant inspection in properties of this period include the boiler, electrical installation, terrace waterproofing and the condition of the rooftop terrace. The available data contains no energy performance figures for this home, so an on-site technical survey is the appropriate way to establish efficiency and maintenance status.
The asking price for this duplex penthouse is €795,000, a fixed amount for the existing home rather than a starting price from a price list. The property offers 250 m² of built space with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, completed in 2005 and available key-ready. Buyers comparing this home with new-build alternatives along the Costa del Sol should note that newer projects in Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona advertise from-prices between €205,000 and €321,950, though those developments differ in location, size and specification. Availability and viewing arrangements can be requested through the contact options on this page.
Daily life in this duplex penthouse is organised across two floors with clearly separated functions. Mornings can start on the main terrace off the living-dining area, which faces south and west and receives sun through the middle of the day and into the evening. The kitchen sits next to the living space, keeping cooking, dining and terrace use connected. The lower level also holds two bedrooms sharing a full bathroom, plus a guest toilet and laundry room, which keeps routine household tasks separate from the living area. The upper floor functions as a private zone. The master suite includes a seating area, a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom, with direct access to the rooftop terrace, usable for sunsets given the westerly orientation. A fourth bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom completes this level, suitable for guests or older children. The setting is suburban, within an urbanisation bordered by country and forest, with sea and mountain views from the property. Residents reach the coast by car in a few minutes; El Alicate beach lies 4.1 km away as the crow flies. Marbella centre, with its full range of shops, services and restaurants, is approximately 5 km straight-line from the property. The area is quiet compared with the coastal strip, partly because of its elevation of 163 metres and the moderate 4.0% gradient towards the sea. A car is necessary for most errands; the immediate vicinity records only one restaurant within 2 km. Air conditioning provides climate control during the warmer months.
Altos de los Monteros forms part of the eastern residential belt of Marbella. The nearest beach, El Alicate, lies 4.1 km away in a straight line, with the descent from the urbanisation at a moderate gradient of 4.0%, meaning the actual road distance is longer. Marbella centre, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, is about 5 km as the crow flies and offers the full range of urban facilities. Within a wider radius, the area records 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, including international options such as the English International College at 4.6 km and the British International School at 6.9 km straight-line. Healthcare is served by five health centres in the region. Marinas including Marina Marbella (3.8 km) and Marina la Bajadilla (3.9 km) provide mooring and waterfront activity. The immediate surroundings are quiet: the urbanisation borders forest and country terrain, and only one restaurant is registered within 2 km. Sports facilities within reach include Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 3.9 km and Supera Miraflores at 4.8 km. Public transport in the wider area covers 11 lines with 50 stops, though a car remains the practical mode for most daily trips.

Nearby markers include international schools, golf courses, marinas and the road connections towards Málaga airport, approximately 34 km straight-line to the north-east.

Altos de los Monteros occupies the hills on the eastern side of Marbella, one of the established residential zones of the Costa del Sol. Marbella centre lies 5 km to the west as the crow flies, while Málaga, the provincial capital with some 579,000 inhabitants, sits 43 km to the north-east.

The property stands at 163 metres above sea level on a hillside with a moderate 4.0% gradient towards the coast. This elevation places the home above the immediate coastal strip, with recorded views over sea, mountains, country and forest. The regional climate shows an average annual temperature of 18.3°C, consistent with the Mediterranean conditions of the Costa del Sol. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts approximately four months, concentrated in the summer period. The surrounding terrain includes forested areas close to the urbanisation, which shapes the rural character of the immediate environment. Walking in the area involves some incline given the hillside position; the Mirador de Ojén viewpoint at 4.3 km straight-line indicates the accessible natural environment inland. Winters remain mild compared with northern Europe, while summer months bring sustained heat managed indoors through air conditioning.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this duplex penthouse occupies a different segment from the new-build projects commonly advertised along the eastern and western coasts. Comparable new developments include Aquamar in Torre del Mar with prices from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,950. Those projects offer newer construction and modern specifications, but in locations further from Marbella and generally with smaller floor areas than the 250 m² of this property. The asking price of €795,000 for this home reflects the combination of size, four en-suite-level bathrooms, two terraces and a hillside position in one of East Marbella's established residential areas. The regional market records approximately 4,399 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale and new-build market across the province. Location quality near Marbella, with the town centre 5 km away and the airport about 34 km straight-line, positions this area differently from Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona, each of which lies at a greater distance from Marbella's urban core. The immediate environment of Altos de los Monteros, bordering forest with mountain and sea views, contrasts with denser coastal zones where new-build projects typically rise. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives should consider the trade-off between a completed 2005 construction with established surroundings and the specification levels, warranties and payment structures of off-plan or recently finished developments. Median provincial income of €16,450 and the area's tourism infrastructure of 48 hotels provide context for the regional economy, in which Marbella's eastern residential belt commands prices above the provincial average.
