Built in 1991 and key-ready, the house offers five en-suite bedrooms, five bathrooms, three floors connected by a private lift, sea and mountain views, a private pool and a south-facing garden. The asking price is fixed at €4,992,000. Elviria sits approximately 6 km from Marbella's old town, with beaches at El Alicate roughly 2 km away as the crow flies and two golf courses within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in Santa María, one of the most established pockets of Elviria, characterised by quiet streets, generous plots and mature greenery. Marbella's old town lies about 9 km away in a straight line, Málaga approximately 41 km, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport roughly 32 km. Beaches at El Alicate and Playa de Artola are around 2 km distant, with Greenlife Golf under 1 km away.
The property is arranged for year-round occupation: five en-suite bedrooms, a dining room seating eight to ten, a closed double garage plus parking for four further cars, ducted hot and cold air conditioning, a fireplace and a private lift serving all three floors. A solar installation with photovoltaic panels and battery storage reduces running costs for a house of this scale.
This is an existing home, completed in 1991 and described as being in good condition, sold unfurnished and key-ready. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to consider; the property can be inspected in its current state. The building predates contemporary new-build specifications, so installations have been retrofitted, including the home automation and solar systems.
The villa offers no communal facilities such as a shared pool, gym or concierge; amenities are private. It is sold unfurnished. The property dates from 1991, so buyers should verify the technical condition of a building of that age themselves. The nearest beach is about 2 km away as the crow flies, so coastal access is by car rather than on foot.
This property fits a buyer seeking a substantial, move-in-ready family home on the Marbella coast rather than a project or a lock-and-leave apartment. It suits households that need five en-suite bedrooms, for a large family, regular guests, or live-in staff, and who value internal circulation via a lift across three floors. Year-round residents will appreciate the ducted air conditioning, fireplace, home automation and solar system with battery storage, which together manage comfort and running costs through both summer and winter. Buyers drawn to golf will find Greenlife Golf within about 1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club under 2 km away. Families have the English International College roughly 0.8 km from the property, alongside further primary and secondary schools in the region. It also suits those who want an established, quiet neighbourhood of permanent residents, with beaches a short drive away rather than on the doorstep. It fits less well for buyers wanting a contemporary new build, walking access to the sand, communal facilities, or a furnished purchase, the villa is sold unfurnished and dates from 1991.
The villa was completed in 1991 and is recorded as being in good condition. The main level is floored in pale marble throughout, with lacquered wood interior joinery. The kitchen is equipped with a central island, stone worktops, an induction hob with integrated extractor, oven, microwave and a large American-style fridge, together with a breakfast area and service access. All five bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and a private bathroom; the master includes a dressing room and a bathroom with a freestanding bath, separate shower and double marble washbasins. Secondary bathrooms combine light and dark marble with walk-in showers and glass screens. Technical installations include full ducted hot and cold air conditioning and a home automation system controlling lighting, climate and blinds. A photovoltaic solar installation with battery storage reduces the energy costs typical of a 732 m² property. Parking is provided by a closed double garage with space on the plot for up to four additional cars. As with any building of this age, buyers are advised to commission an independent technical survey to assess the current state of structure, installations and waterproofing.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €4,992,000. This is an existing, key-ready property rather than a new-build development with a price list, so there is no range of unit types or from-price. The price reflects the scale of the asset: 732 m² of built space, five en-suite bedrooms, a 1,734 m² plot with pool and mature garden, a private lift, a closed double garage and solar installations. Buyers comparing against regional alternatives should note that nearby new-build projects in Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona are priced from roughly €205,000 to €322,000, but those are apartment developments of a fundamentally different order. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's position.
Santa María in Elviria is a low-density residential area of villas interspersed with low-rise apartment complexes, covered largely with native pine trees and cork oaks. Daily life here is quiet and oriented towards permanent residents rather than seasonal visitors, which shows in the condition of the streets and gardens. The villa itself is laid out around generously proportioned living spaces: a main lounge with high ceilings and a fireplace, a separate dining room, and a kitchen with a central island and stone worktops. Terraces at several levels follow the sun through the day, so there is always a spot in shade and one in full sun. The rectangular pool overlooks the valley with the sea beyond, surrounded by lawn and a solarium, while the mature garden includes palms, cypresses and a section reserved as a kitchen garden. Practical errands are straightforward: within 2 km there are 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, and Elviria's commercial centre provides broader shopping. Two golf clubs, Greenlife and Santa María Golf & Country Club, lie within roughly 2 km. A car is the natural mode of transport; 3 bus lines with 39 stops serve the wider area, but the rhythm of the neighbourhood is set by private vehicles.

Elviria positions itself as the commercial and residential heart of Marbella East, roughly 6 km from Marbella's old town and about 41 km from Málaga city. Within the Costa del Sol it offers a middle point between the density of Marbella centre and the quieter sprawl towards Estepona. The area's profile, established villas, international schools, golf clubs and a permanent-resident population, places it in the upper segment of the regional market. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, with 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds recorded in the area, yet the villa streets themselves remain residential in character.
Straight-line distances place the nearest beach, El Alicate, at 2.0 km, with Playa de Artola equally close and Playa de Cabopino at 4.5 km; in practice these are a few minutes by car. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 32 km away as the crow flies, with Gibraltar Airport about 64 km, and road travel times will be longer than these direct figures suggest. Marbella (around 9 km) and Fuengirola, the nearest train station, frame the urban catchment, while Málaga city lies roughly 41 km to the east. Golf access is unusually close: Greenlife Golf Marbella at 0.9 km and its driving range at 1.1 km, with Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.9 km.

Elviria sits at roughly 30 m above sea level, and the terrain towards El Alicate beach has a gradient of about 1.5 per cent, effectively flat, which makes walking and cycling realistic in the immediate area. The villa's elevated position within Santa María nonetheless produces open views over the Mediterranean on one side and the mountains on the other. The regional climate averages 19.1°C across the year, with a swimming season of about five months during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or more. The landscape around the property is characterised by native pine trees and cork oaks, typical of the low-density villa belt between Marbella and the coast. The south-facing orientation of the house and its terraces at different levels allows sun exposure to be managed throughout the day, with shaded options available at all hours.

Within Elviria and the wider Marbella East belt, this villa competes in the established second-home and permanent-residence segment rather than the new-build apartment market. The nearby comparables tell a different story: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,950. Those are lower-density apartment developments on the eastern and western flanks of the Costa del Sol, aimed primarily at holiday and investment buyers. At a fixed €4,992,000, this property targets a different purchaser: someone seeking a single, substantial villa with five en-suite bedrooms, a lift, a pool and mature grounds in one of Marbella's most settled neighbourhoods. Location-wise, Elviria sits about 9 km from Marbella town and 41 km from Málaga, closer to the airport than Estepona and more established than Torre del Mar. Its local profile combines golf (two courses within 2 km), an international school at 0.8 km and a permanent-resident community, with roughly 4,743 housing transactions per year in the surrounding market indicating active turnover. Buyers weighing this villa against new builds should account for the 1991 construction date: modern specifications are partially covered by retrofitted systems, solar with battery storage, home automation, ducted climate control, but an independent technical survey remains standard practice. The trade-off is essentially character, space and plot size against contemporary finish and communal amenities.
