A four-bedroom detached villa of 271 m² on a level plot of 670 m² in Elviria, Marbella East, offered at a fixed asking price of €949,950. The house dates from 1970 and is key-ready, with existing interiors that include a kitchen with wooden cabinetry, marble bathrooms and built-in wooden wardrobes. Elviria is a low-density residential area with pine and cork oak vegetation, roughly 6 km from Marbella's old town and about 2 km as the crow flies from El Alicate beach. Shops, restaurants, schools and golf courses sit within a short radius, making the property a factual candidate for both residential use and refurbishment.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in Elviria, the recognised centre of Marbella East. Marbella lies 9 km away in a straight line, Málaga 41 km, and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport roughly 32 km as the crow flies. The nearest beach, El Alicate, is 2.0 km direct. Distances are straight-line figures; actual road distances can be longer.
The property offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms across 271 m² of living space on one level plot of 670 m². Interiors currently include a fitted kitchen, built-in wardrobes and bathrooms with bathtubs and double sinks. The layout suits family occupation, though the 1970 construction date means systems and finishes may warrant review.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 1970 and the property is described as key-ready. Delivery dates and completion information do not apply; the asking price is a fixed amount of €949,950, not a starting price from a price list.
The villa does not offer new-build specifications, developer warranties or a communal facilities programme. Information on a private pool, garage, energy performance and community fees is not stated in the available data. The 1970 build year places the property in a refurbishment context rather than a turnkey modern development.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol who wants a detached house with four bedrooms, proximity to the English International College at 0.8 km and a garden plot will find the core layout matches that requirement, accepting that interior modernisation is likely part of the plan. Buyers seeking a project, a property to refurbish to their own specification, get a sound structure on a level 670 m² plot in an established villa area, where comparable building plots are scarce. Investors considering the holiday-let market should note Elviria's tourism infrastructure: 52 hotels and 12,781 beds in the wider area indicate sustained seasonal demand, and the villa's size supports group rentals after renovation. It suits buyers who value location and land over contemporary finishing: the 2.0 km distance to El Alicate beach and 0.9 km to Greenlife Golf place the property within the leisure geography of Marbella East. It fits less well for buyers wanting a new-build with warranties, a communal pool and zero maintenance backlog, or for those who require walking distance to the sea, at 2 km direct, the beach is a short drive or cycle rather than a stroll. A car is effectively necessary; public transport exists (3 lines, 39 stops) but serves the area at low frequency, as is typical for villa districts on this coast.
The interior photographs document a 1970s villa with a mix of original and partially updated elements. The kitchen features wooden cabinets and a tiled floor, serviceable, but with the layout and appliance standards of an earlier era. Bedrooms include built-in wooden wardrobes, which provide practical storage without requiring immediate works. Two bathrooms are shown: one with a double sink and bathtub, another in marble with bathtub and bidet, indicating that at least part of the sanitary fittings has been upgraded at some point in the property's life. The overall impression is a habitable but dated dwelling. Buyers should treat the following as due-diligence items typical for a 1970 build: electrical wiring, plumbing, insulation standards, window frames and glazing, and the condition of the roof structure. Spanish homes of this period predate current technical building code requirements on thermal performance, so an energy retrofit, new glazing, improved insulation, possibly air conditioning replacement, is a realistic line in any refurbishment budget. The positive counterweight is structural simplicity: a detached villa on a level plot allows phased works while the property remains usable, and the 670 m² plot provides room for a pool or landscape redesign, subject to municipal licences in Marbella. No energy label, warranty or developer specification applies, and none should be assumed.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €949,950. This is an existing home from 1970, not a new-build development with a price range, so there is no from-price or unit variation. The price reflects the villa typology and the Elviria location: 271 m² of living area, a 670 m² plot and four bedrooms in one of Marbella East's established residential districts. Buyers should budget separately for refurbishment works where desired, as the interior retains its original character in several rooms. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process and notary scheduling. Comparable new-build projects elsewhere on the coast start lower, for example Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,950, but these are apartments or townhouses in different locations, not detached villas in Elviria.
Daily life at this address revolves around the rhythm of Elviria: a low-density villa district where native pines and cork oaks line the streets and amenities cluster around a handful of commercial nodes. Within 2 km there are 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, which covers routine errands without leaving the area. The nearest beach, El Alicate, sits 2.0 km away as the crow flies on flat terrain with a gradient of about 1.5%, so the coast is reachable on foot or by bicycle for most residents. The house itself functions as a traditional Andalusian villa: 271 m² of living space with four bedrooms and three bathrooms arranged on a level 670 m² plot. The existing interior, wooden kitchen cabinets, tiled floors, built-in wooden wardrobes and bathrooms in marble with bathtubs, reflects its 1970s origin and provides a workable base for either occupation or phased refurbishment. The English International College lies 0.8 km away, a practical fact for families with school-age children. Greenlife Golf is 0.9 km away and Santa María Golf & Country Club 1.9 km, giving golfers two courses within a short drive. Because Elviria is predominantly residential rather than a resort strip, the area is quieter outside the summer months, while Marbella's old town remains about 9 km away for city amenities, dining and cultural outings.
Elviria positions itself as the service centre of Marbella East. Within 2 km of the villa, residents count 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, enough for daily life without regular trips into Marbella town, which lies 9 km away in a straight line. Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the surrounding area, and the education offering is substantial: 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools within regional reach, including the English International College at 0.8 km from the property. The district's character is green and residential: coverage of native pine and cork oak, low-density villa construction with occasional low-rise apartment complexes. Terrain is essentially flat at 30 m elevation with a 1.5% gradient towards the coast, so walking and cycling are realistic options for local trips. The nearest beach, El Alicate, is 2.0 km as the crow flies; Playa de Artola is also 2.0 km and Playa de Cabopino 4.5 km. Marinas at Puerto Cabopino (4.7 km) and Marina Marbella (7.6 km) serve boating interests. Public transport runs on 3 lines with 39 stops, sufficient for occasional journeys but not a substitute for a car in a villa district. The A-7 and AP-7 corridors connect Elviria westwards to Marbella and Estepona and eastwards to Fuengirola, where the nearest train station is located.
The map shows the villa's position in Elviria relative to Marbella East's amenities: El Alicate beach 2.0 km away, Greenlife Golf at 0.9 km and the English International College at 0.8 km, all straight-line distances. Marbella's old town and the airports at Málaga and Gibraltar provide the wider regional frame.

Elviria functions as the central node of Marbella East, roughly midway between Marbella town (9 km straight-line) and Fuengirola, with Málaga city 41 km away. Within the Costa del Sol's geography it occupies the established, green segment of the coast: villa districts, golf courses and international schools rather than high-rise resort strips. Algeciras lies 72 km to the west, marking the far edge of the region. The position places the property within commuting range of Marbella while retaining a low-density residential setting.
Access by car is the primary mode. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 32 km away as the crow flies, with driving time dependent on traffic along the coastal corridor. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 64 km direct, a secondary option for UK-bound travellers. The nearest train station is in Fuengirola, reachable by car; Elviria itself has no rail link. Beach distances, all straight-line: El Alicate and Playa de Artola at 2.0 km, Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km. Golf is unusually close: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 0.9 km, its driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km. The Don Carlos Tennis Club sits 1.8 km away. Shopping and dining needs are met within Elviria's commercial areas, and Marbella's old town, 9 km direct, provides the nearest full urban centre. All distances are as the crow flies; road distances are longer.

Elviria sits at 30 m above sea level on flat terrain, with a gradient of about 1.5% towards the coast, no notable hills between the villa and the beach. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, consistent with the Costa del Sol's mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season lasts about 5 months, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, roughly May to October. The surrounding vegetation, native pine and cork oak, defines the district's green character and provides shade and a degree of privacy between plots. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches in summer when irrigation of the plot's garden becomes a recurring task. For practical living, the climate supports year-round outdoor use of the 670 m² plot: dining outside, gardening and walking to local amenities are realistic throughout most of the calendar, and the flat topography makes the area comfortable for cycling and running along the coastal fringe.

The beach offer around Elviria covers the spectrum from quiet sandy stretches to serviced beach clubs. El Alicate and Playa de Artola both lie 2.0 km away as the crow flies; Playa de Artola sits adjacent to the Artola dunes, a protected natural monument. Playa de Cabopino, 4.5 km away, is a family-oriented beach behind Puerto Cabopino marina (4.7 km), where restaurants and moorings concentrate. Swimming pool facilities include Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa, both 2.5 km away. Golf is the district's strongest recreational card: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 0.9 km, its driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km give residents three practice and play options within minutes. Tennis players have the Don Carlos Tennis Club at 1.8 km. Water sports operate from the marinas, Puerto Cabopino, Marina Marbella (7.6 km) and Marina la Bajadilla in Marbella (7.8 km). With 52 hotels and 12,781 beds in the tourism area, seasonal demand for holiday activities is high in summer and quietens noticeably in the shoulder months.

Set against the wider Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a distinct segment: existing detached housing in an established Marbella East district. The comparable projects listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,950), are new-build developments at substantially lower entry prices, but they sit in different markets. Torre del Mar and Estepona are further from Marbella's core; Mijas spans a broad territory inland of Fuengirola. What those projects offer in specification and warranties, they trade against location and land: an apartment in Estepona does not provide a 670 m² freehold plot 9 km from Marbella's old town. Elviria's positioning within the region is specific. It is the service centre of Marbella East, with shopping, schools and healthcare that many coastal districts lack, set in pine and cork oak vegetation at low density. Housing transactions in the area number around 4,743 per year, indicating an active resale market, and the median provincial income of €16,450 contextualises the price level of the coast relative to inland Andalucía. For buyers weighing this villa against new-build alternatives, the trade-off is structural: a fixed €949,950 buys land, location and detached status in a mature area, while from-prices under €350,000 buy new construction with communal facilities further from Marbella. Both can be rational purchases; they answer different requirements. The villa's refurbishment potential adds a further dimension, in Elviria, where building plots are scarce, an existing structure on a level plot is a documented route to a customised home in a district that rarely sees new detached stock.
