This completed detached villa is situated in the prestigious El Rosario area of Marbella, offering 379m² of living space on a 1,253m² plot. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the property combines traditional Andalusian architecture with modern amenities. Its elevated position provides panoramic views whilst maintaining privacy. The property is located within walking distance of the beach and urban conveniences, with multiple golf courses nearby. The villa features a private pool, covered terrace, and comes partially furnished with a fully fitted kitchen.
Within Marbella's property market, this villa occupies a distinctive position combining completed status with development potential. Compared to newer developments such as Royal River (from €698,000), Zew (from €740,000), and Royal Park Residence (from €799,000), this property commands a premium due to its established location, larger plot, and the ability to customise further. Unlike properties in Marbella's more central areas, El Rosario provides a balance between urban convenience and residential tranquillity. The area differs from western Marbella developments like Nueva Andalucía, which focus more on golf-centric communities, by offering direct beach access alongside golf proximity. The property's orientation and elevation provide natural advantages over properties in Marbella's newer elevated developments, which may face steeper gradients or require more vehicle dependency. The combination of immediate occupancy, renovation quality, and expansion potential distinguishes it from both older villas requiring complete renovation and newly constructed properties with limited customization options.

The property offers potential for expansion up to 124m² and includes approved development options for a guest house, providing flexibility for future modifications according to the new owner's requirements.
The property does not offer community amenities typically found in residential complexes, such as shared swimming pools, sports facilities, or 24-hour security services. The villa's position in an established urban area means it does not provide the seclusion of countryside properties. The existing structure limits immediate expansion without further planning applications, and the partially furnished status may require additional investment to complete according to personal preferences.
This property would particularly suit those seeking a permanent residence in Marbella that balances privacy with urban convenience. The established neighbourhood and completed status make it appropriate for buyers wanting immediate occupancy without construction delays. The provision for a guest house caters to those expecting regular visitors or multigenerational living arrangements.

Wood flooring throughout creates warmth and continuity, while the bathrooms feature modern fittings with quality fixtures. The covered terrace and outdoor areas are designed to extend the living space during favourable weather, with provisions for a potential outdoor kitchen and pergola. The property's structure benefits from recent improvements, including pre-installed climate control systems featuring both air conditioning and central heating, ensuring year-round comfort. The finishes prioritise durability and low maintenance alongside visual appeal, suitable for the Mediterranean climate.
The property is marketed at €990,000, reflecting its position in Marbella's premium property segment. This price point positions it above comparable developments such as Royal River (from €698,000), Zew (from €740,000), and Royal Park Residence (from €799,000). The price includes the main structure, fixtures, and partial furnishing, though prospective buyers should budget for completion according to personal preferences. The asking price incorporates the property's development potential of up to 124m², offering scope for future value enhancement through further investment.
