This detached villa in Elviria, on the eastern side of Marbella, offers 320 m² of living space on a 1,300 m² plot, completed in 2020 and available as a key-ready home. Built in Finnish timber with a Nordic design approach, the property comprises four bedrooms and three bathrooms across two levels, including a self-contained guest apartment. The asking price is fixed at €950,000. The garden contains fruit trees with automatic irrigation, a jacuzzi and a barbecue area, while solar panels support energy performance. Elviria is a low-density residential area with golf courses, international schools and beaches within a short radius.
Within the Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a distinct segment from the newer apartment developments that dominate coastal new-build supply. 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 €321,000), are apartment developments at considerably lower entry points. At €950,000 as a fixed asking price, this property is not competing on price per square metre with those schemes; it competes on format: a detached villa, a private 1,300 m² plot, a guest apartment and a garage, in an established area rather than a new urbanisation. Location-wise, Elviria sits in the middle band of the Marbella market. It is generally more affordable per square metre than the Golden Mile or Nueva Andalucía to the west, while offering more established infrastructure, international schools, golf, year-round restaurants, than the more recently developed stretches of Estepona or the eastern Costa del Sol beyond Mijas. Torre del Mar and much of Mijas Costa offer lower prices but fewer international schools and a more seasonal, domestic-oriented economy. The practical trade-off for buyers is clear: apartment projects deliver lower entry cost, shared amenities and lower maintenance; this villa delivers land, privacy, independence between main house and annexe, and immediate availability, at a higher absolute price and with sole responsibility for plot maintenance, irrigation, garden, jacuzzi and any future pool construction. Buyers weighing Elviria against Estepona or Mijas should also factor in school proximity: the English International College at 0.8 km is a concrete advantage for families that similar areas do not replicate at that distance. Housing market activity in the wider area, at roughly 4,743 transactions per year, indicates a liquid resale market, relevant for exit strategy considerations.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Elviria lies approximately 6 km from Marbella's old town and functions as the centre of Marbella East. The area consists mainly of villas with some low-rise apartment complexes, set among native pine trees and cork oaks. The nearest beach, El Alicate, is 2.0 km away as the crow flies, and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 32 km in a straight line.
The villa accommodates a household needing space and separation: three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor, plus an independent lower-level apartment with its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. A garage for two cars, a storage room and a utility room are integrated into the covered lower level. The 1,300 m² plot leaves room for a future swimming pool.
Construction was completed in 2020 and the property is delivered key-ready, meaning no waiting period or off-plan uncertainty applies. The home is in excellent condition with air conditioning, a fireplace, double glazing and wood flooring already installed. Solar panels are fitted. Completion dates and delivery details mentioned in listings are always indicative.
The property does not currently include a swimming pool, although the plot offers space to build one. There is no mention of a communal pool or urbanisation services. Public transport in Elviria is limited to three lines, so daily mobility effectively depends on a car. The plot is flat and garden-facing; no sea views are listed among the property's features.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol benefits from three ground-floor bedrooms, proximity to the English International College at 0.8 km and further schooling in Elviria, plus a guest apartment for grandparents or visiting relatives. Buyers seeking a second home with flexibility can use the main house themselves and let the independent annexe to guests, or the reverse. Households with staff will note that the lower level is explicitly designed for staff accommodation as well as guests. Golf players are a natural fit: Greenlife Golf lies 0.9 km away, with a driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km. Buyers with an interest in construction quality and sustainability may respond to the Nordic timber build, solar panels and energy performance, thermal comfort in a Mediterranean climate is a practical consequence of this approach. The property is less obviously suited to buyers who want a swimmable pool from day one, since building one is a separate project, or to those dependent on public transport, as the area runs on car-based mobility. Nor does it suit buyers seeking sea views, which are not listed among its features. For a buyer wanting space, privacy, mature planting and an established residential setting close to Marbella, the configuration aligns well.
The villa's construction method is its most distinctive technical feature: a Finnish timber build completed in 2020, which is uncommon on the Costa del Sol, where masonry dominates. Timber construction affects thermal behaviour, wood insulates naturally and, combined with double glazing, air conditioning and a fireplace, the house has multiple climate-control layers. Solar panels reduce grid dependence for hot water or electricity, a practical factor given Andalusian summer tariffs. The energy ratings stated in the listing are B and C, indicating above-average performance for the regional housing stock; buyers should verify the certificates during due diligence. Interior finishing includes wood flooring, fitted wardrobes and a fully equipped kitchen with appliances included. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. The lower level is fully covered and enclosed, housing the garage for two cars, the machinery room and a large storage room alongside the guest apartment, a layout that keeps technical installations out of the living areas. Exterior elements are similarly specified: a covered terrace, a private terrace to the guest apartment, automatic irrigation for the fruit trees, a barbecue area and a jacuzzi. The overall condition is described as excellent, consistent with a four-year-old, purpose-built home. As with any existing property, an independent technical survey remains the appropriate step to confirm structural condition, moisture behaviour in a timber build and the status of the solar installation before purchase.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €950,000 as an existing, completed home. This is not a price-list development: a single property is for sale, with the configuration as described, 320 m² of living space, a 1,300 m² plot, four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a two-car garage. The price reflects the construction method and condition: a 2020 timber-built villa with solar panels, double glazing and a self-contained guest apartment. Comparable new-build apartment projects elsewhere on the coast start lower, from roughly €205,000 in Mijas to €321,000 in Estepona, but those are apartments rather than detached villas on private plots. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status.
Daily life in this villa revolves around a two-level layout that separates main living from guest or staff accommodation. The ground floor holds the primary functions: three bedrooms, two bathrooms including an en-suite to the master, a fully equipped kitchen with appliances, a living room with fireplace and a dining area. Wood flooring and a south-west orientation shape the interior atmosphere, with afternoon and evening sun entering the living spaces and covered terrace. The lower level operates independently: a double bedroom, private bathroom, open-plan kitchen and dining area, plus a generous terrace overlooking the fruit trees. This makes the house workable for multigenerational living, visiting guests or longer-term rental of the annexe, subject to local regulations. Outside, the 1,300 m² garden is planted with fruit trees on automatic irrigation, with a barbecue area and a private jacuzzi. A covered garage for two cars, a machinery room and a large storage room complete the lower floor. The surrounding residential area of Elviria is described as peaceful and low-density, with villas set among pines and cork oaks rather than dense apartment blocks. Everyday amenities are concentrated within about 2 km: restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, a bank and schools are all within reach, which reduces the need to travel into Marbella for routine errands. The rhythm of the area follows the coast: golf courses within 2 km, the beach at roughly 2 km, and the resort infrastructure of Marbella East a short drive away.
Elviria sits 6 km from Marbella's old town and acts as the commercial heart of Marbella East. Within a 2 km radius, the data lists 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, enough coverage for daily needs without leaving the neighbourhood. The area's character is residential and green: native pines and cork oaks dominate the vegetation, and building density is low, with villas interspersed among a few low-rise apartment complexes. Education and healthcare infrastructure in the wider area is substantial: 41 primary schools, 28 secondary schools and 5 health centres serve the region. The English International College is 0.8 km away as the crow flies, one of the reasons international families cluster in Elviria. Distances throughout are straight-line; actual road distances are longer. Marbella lies 9 km away in a straight line, Fuengirola is reachable by car in about 15 minutes, and Málaga, the provincial capital with 579,076 inhabitants, is 41 km distant. Tourism infrastructure exists but is not overwhelming: 52 hotels and around 12,800 beds are spread across the wider area, meaning the neighbourhood retains a year-round residential population rather than emptying outside the summer season. Housing turnover in the area is active, at roughly 4,743 transactions per year, which supports liquidity for owners.
The map shows the villa's position within Elviria, between Marbella 9 km to the west and the beaches of El Alicate and Artola 2 km to the south. Golf courses, the English International College and the Cabopino marina are marked to indicate the immediate surroundings. Straight-line distances are shown; road distances are longer.

Elviria occupies the central position within Marbella East, roughly midway between Marbella town (9 km straight-line) and the larger urban cluster of Fuengirola and Mijas to the west. Málaga, the provincial capital, lies 41 km to the north-east, with Algeciras 72 km to the south-west near Gibraltar. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, Elviria is characterised by lower density than Marbella centre or Fuengirola, a villa-dominated housing stock, and a reputation anchored by golf courses and international schools rather than high-rise tourism. The area functions as a settled residential base from which the rest of the coast is accessible by car.
The nearest beach, El Alicate, is 2.0 km away as the crow flies, on a gradient of 1.5%, effectively flat terrain between the property and the coast, which makes walking or cycling realistic. Playa de Artola lies at the same distance, with Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km. Three marinas sit within 8 km: Puerto Cabopino at 4.7 km, Marina Marbella at 7.6 km and Marina la Bajadilla at 7.8 km. Golf access is a defining feature of the location: Greenlife Golf at 0.9 km, its driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 32 km in a straight line, reachable by car in around 40 minutes; Gibraltar Airport is 64 km away. Public transport consists of 3 lines with 39 stops in the area, usable but limited, a car remains the practical mode for daily life. The A-7 coastal motorway connects Elviria westward to Marbella and Fuengirola and eastward to Málaga.

Elviria lies at roughly 30 m above sea level with a flat gradient toward the coast, so no steep walks or stair climbs are involved in reaching amenities. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, characteristic of the Costa del Sol's mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season lasts about 5 months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, typically from late spring into early autumn. The area's vegetation is predominantly native pine and cork oak, which gives Elviria a greener and more wooded character than the more built-up coastal strips closer to Marbella centre. The villa's south-west orientation aligns the main living spaces and terrace with afternoon and evening sun, suited to outdoor dining and the jacuzzi and barbecue area in the garden. The fruit trees on the plot benefit from the same conditions and are maintained through automatic irrigation, relevant given Andalusia's dry summers.

Beach options near Elviria include El Alicate and Playa de Artola, both 2.0 km away in a straight line, and Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km. Cabopino sits next to Puerto Cabopino marina (4.7 km), a smaller port with restaurants and moorings that anchors the eastern end of Marbella's coastline. Swimming pools are available at Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa, both 2.5 km away. For sports, the Don Carlos Tennis Club is 1.8 km from the property. Golf is the area's strongest recreational asset: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 0.9 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km put two courses and a driving range (1.1 km) within a five-minute drive. The 29 restaurants and 9 cafés within 2 km cover most casual dining needs, while Marbella old town, 6 km away by road, extends the options considerably.
