This detached villa is situated in a gated community in Elviria, on the eastern side of Marbella. The property was completed in 1990 and offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms across 212 m² of living space on a 600 m² plot with a private swimming pool and mature garden. The villa is key-ready and offered at a fixed asking price of €1,195,000. The location combines a residential setting with walkable amenities: a supermarket lies 511 m away, a pharmacy 445 m, and the nearest beaches roughly 2 km as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in Elviria, a low-density residential area about 6 km from Marbella's old town. The surroundings are covered with native pine trees and cork oaks, with villa neighbourhoods interspersed with low-rise apartment complexes. A supermarket (511 m), pharmacy (445 m) and several restaurants are within walking distance, and the beach at El Alicate lies 2.0 km away as the crow flies.
With four bedrooms, three bathrooms and 212 m² of living area arranged over two levels, the property suits households needing multiple bedrooms, whether for year-round family living or extended stays. The 600 m² plot provides a private pool and garden, and the kitchen, dining and living spaces open onto a patio. A fireplace features in the living room.
This is an existing home, completed in 1990, not a new-build project. The property is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its current state without a construction phase or waiting period. Interior elements such as the bathrooms and kitchen appear modernised according to the photo material, though no renovation date is documented in the available data.
The property offers no sea view, no panoramic orientation and no dedicated wellness facilities according to the available data. The plot of 600 m² is modest for a four-bedroom villa in this segment. Parking arrangements, storage space and community fees are not specified in the data. The villa stands within a gated community, which involves shared rules and costs.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol for the medium or long term benefits from the four bedrooms, the proximity of the English International College at 0.8 km and the presence of three schools within 2 km, plus a hospital at 3.6 km. Buyers seeking a second home or holiday residence gain from the key-ready state: no construction phase, no waiting for delivery, and a pool and garden usable from day one. Households valuing walkable amenities over a car-dependent location will note the supermarket and pharmacy within a few minutes' walk. Golf players are served by three courses within 2 km, with Greenlife Golf Marbella at roughly 800 m. The setting also suits buyers who prefer an established, vegetated villa neighbourhood over new-build urbanisations. Less obvious fits include buyers wanting a sea view or direct beachfront position, the coast lies about 2 km away, and those seeking large plots, since 600 m² is compact for this segment. As a 1990 property, it also requires the customary technical inspection attention that any existing home of that vintage involves.
The available photographic material shows a modernised interior. The bathrooms display walk-in showers, a double-sink vanity and marble finishes, indicating a renovation of at least part of the wet areas. The kitchen and dining area feature tile flooring, a conventional and practical choice for the climate. The living room includes a fireplace and gives access to a patio, extending the living space outdoors. The villa's structure dates from 1990, which places it in a construction period typical for Elviria: solid conventional building methods, two-level layout and masonry construction, but predating current insulation and energy-performance standards. No documentation of the building's technical condition, energy performance, electrical installation or window glazing is included in the data, so these points should be assessed through an independent survey before purchase. The private pool and mature garden are part of the plot's offering; their condition and maintenance history are likewise best verified on site. The gated community context means the perimeter, access control and shared areas are managed collectively, which affects both security and monthly costs. In summary, the visible finish level appears updated in key areas, while the underlying building substance is of its era, a normal starting point for a purchase evaluation of an existing villa.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,195,000 for the existing property in its current key-ready state. Unlike new-build projects in the region, there is no price list with unit variations: the price applies to this single villa with its four bedrooms, three bathrooms, 212 m² of living area and 600 m² plot including the private pool. For context, new-build projects in the immediate area start higher, The Valley in Elviria lists from approximately €1,395,275, while new construction further west in Estepona starts considerably lower. Costs for community fees, annual property tax (IBI) and waste collection are not specified in the available data and should be verified during the purchase process.
Daily life around this villa is shaped by its position inside a gated community in Elviria, a leafy residential area on Marbella's eastern side. The morning routine can realistically be done on foot: a supermarket sits 511 m from the door and a pharmacy 445 m, while roughly 29 restaurants and 9 cafés lie within 2 km. The area's vegetation of pine trees and cork oaks gives the streets a green, established character that distinguishes it from denser coastal zones. The villa itself works around a two-level layout: living spaces with a fireplace and patio access on one level, sleeping quarters spread across four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The 600 m² garden with a private pool serves as the outdoor extension of the house for much of the year, given the average annual temperature of 19.1°C. For recreation, three golf facilities lie within 2 km, including Greenlife Golf Marbella at about 800 m, and the Don Carlos Tennis Club at 1.8 km. Beach outings mean a short drive or bike ride of roughly 2 km to El Alicate or Playa de Artola, as the crow flies. The English International College at 0.8 km is relevant for families. Elviria functions year-round rather than as a purely seasonal resort, supported by schools, health centres and public transport lines, so the neighbourhood does not empty out outside the summer months.
Elviria positions itself as the centre of Marbella East, with shopping facilities, restaurants and bars within its own commercial core rather than depending solely on Marbella town. The immediate surroundings of the villa are urban with amenities at walking distance, yet the wider area retains a low-density villa character with pine and cork oak cover. Marbella's old town lies 9 km away in a straight line, offering the historic centre, the marina at La Bajadilla (7.8 km) and Puerto Cabopino (4.7 km) for maritime leisure. Málaga city, at 41 km straight-line, and its airport at 32 km form the main long-distance connections; the airport is typically reached via the A-7 or AP-7 coastal motorways. Public transport consists of 3 bus lines with 39 stops in the area, sufficient for local trips but not a full substitute for a car. Many daily amenities are reachable on foot or by bicycle according to the location data, which reduces car dependency for routine errands. The nearest hospital lies 3.6 km away and five health centres serve the wider area, relevant for permanent residents and older buyers in particular.

Within the Costa del Sol, the villa occupies a position in Elviria, the recognised centre of Marbella East, roughly midway between Marbella town (9 km) and the eastern municipalities towards Fuengirola and Málaga (41 km). This places it in the established villa belt east of Marbella, closer to amenities than the more remote inland developments, yet greener and lower in density than the concrete-heavy stretches around Benalmádena and Torremolinos. Málaga airport at 32 km provides the region's main international gateway. The position suits buyers who want Marbella's services and prestige without the price level and intensity of the Golden Mile or Marbella centre itself.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. The nearest beach, El Alicate, lies 2.0 km from the villa, with Playa de Artola at 1.9–2.0 km and Playa de Cabopino at 4.4 km. A supermarket sits 511 m away and a pharmacy 445 m, making daily shopping practical without a car. Healthcare ranges from a hospital at 3.6 km to several health centres in the area. Golf is unusually close: Greenlife Golf Marbella at about 800–900 m, its driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.8–1.9 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies 32 km away, with Gibraltar Airport as a secondary option at roughly 64 km. An EV charging point is available 1.1 km from the property. Road access runs via the main coastal road, with the property described as having easy access to it; Marbella centre is about a ten-minute drive.

Elviria lies at roughly 30 m above sea level with a gradient to the beach of about 1.5%, meaning the terrain between the villa and the coast is essentially flat, relevant for walking and cycling. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, consistent with the Mediterranean pattern of the Costa del Sol, and a swimming season of about five months during which sea temperature reaches 20°C or more. The area's vegetation, native pine trees and cork oaks, defines its green character and distinguishes it from more barren coastal zones. The nearby dunes of Artola, a protected natural monument behind Playa de Artola and Cabopino, add a natural area within short reach. For residents, this combination translates into outdoor use of the pool and garden from late spring into autumn, and walking-friendly conditions year-round given the absence of significant slopes.

The beaches within reach include El Alicate (2.0 km straight-line), Playa de Artola (1.9–2.0 km) and Playa de Cabopino (4.4 km), the latter bordering the Artola dunes and served by the marina of Puerto Cabopino (4.7 km), a small port with restaurants and berths. Golf dominates the recreational offer near the villa: Greenlife Golf Marbella lies roughly 800 m away, a driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.8–1.9 km, giving three practice and playing options within a short radius. The Don Carlos Tennis Club sits 1.8 km away for racket sports. Swimming pools at Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa (both 2.5 km) supplement the villa's own private pool. Further marinas, Marina Marbella at 7.6 km and La Bajadilla at 7.8 km, extend the nautical options towards Marbella town, whose restaurants, shops and historic centre lie about 9 km away.

Set against the wider Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a specific niche: an existing, key-ready detached home in Elviria, the established core of Marbella East, priced at €1,195,000 as a fixed asking price. The most direct comparison in the dataset is The Valley in Elviria, a new-build development listing from approximately €1,395,275. That price gap of roughly €200,000 at entry level illustrates the premium charged for new construction in the same neighbourhood, and conversely what a buyer of this villa trades for the lower price: a 1990 building envelope that predates current building standards, against a brand-new structure with modern specification and developer warranties. Further west, Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €524,600) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000) show the lower end of the regional new-build market, but in a different location context, Estepona lies roughly 35–40 km further from Málaga airport and Marbella centre, and its urban character differs from Elviria's low-density villa fabric. Within Elviria itself, the villa's location data is comparatively strong: three golf courses within 2 km, an international school at 0.8 km, walkable supermarket and pharmacy, and a hospital at 3.6 km. The area records 4,743 housing transactions per year, indicating an active and liquid resale market, which matters for future flexibility. Elviria's positioning as the service centre of Marbella East means residents rely less on Marbella town for daily needs than residents of more peripheral urbanisations. The main trade-offs relative to the region are the modest plot size of 600 m² for a detached villa in this price bracket, the 2 km distance to the sea rather than frontline position, and the age of the property requiring conventional diligence for a 1990s build.
