This detached villa stands in Elviria, an established low-density residential area in East Marbella, roughly 6 km from Marbella's old town. The property dates from 1970 (indicative) and is completed. It offers six bedrooms, four bathrooms, 300 m² of living space on a 1,000 m² plot, with a private heated pool, solar panels, central heating, air conditioning throughout and a garage with electric vehicle connection. The lower floor functions as a separate living unit with its own entrance. The asking price is €1,200,000. Shops, schools, golf courses and beaches are within a short drive or, in several cases, walking distance.
Within Elviria itself, the closest comparable is The Valley, a new development starting from approximately €1,395,275. At roughly €4,000 per m² of built area, this villa prices below that new-build threshold while offering a larger plot (1,000 m²) and more bedrooms (six) than typical new-build configurations at that entry price. The trade-off is structural: a 1970 construction with partial reforms carries different maintenance expectations and no developer warranty, whereas new-build buyers pay a premium for current regulations, energy performance and modern specifications. Looking wider along the Costa del Sol, Estepona offers materially lower entry points, Acqua Gardens from €524,600 and Aby Upper from €320,000, but these are apartment-style products in a different market segment, roughly 40–50 minutes further from Málaga Airport. Elviria's positioning differs on three counts: it sits within the Marbella municipality, an established villa district with mature vegetation; it holds the central role of Marbella East with its commercial and educational infrastructure, including the English International College under one kilometre away; and it combines walkable daily amenities (supermarket at 511 m, pharmacy at 445 m) with golf access that few coastal zones match, three courses within two kilometres. The recorded 4,743 property transactions in the wider area point to a liquid resale market, relevant for buyers weighing exit options. For buyers comparing resale versus new-build in the same postcode, the essential comparison is between space, plot and location maturity at this villa against specification and warranty at The Valley, at a price difference of roughly €195,000 before negotiation.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in an urbanised part of Elviria close to the Las Cumbres commercial area. A supermarket lies approximately 511 metres away, a pharmacy 445 metres, and the commercial centre of Elviria around two minutes by car. Three golf courses are within 1.9 km. Beaches at El Alicate and Playa de Artola are roughly 2 km away, reachable on foot or by bicycle along mostly flat terrain.
With six bedrooms across two independently usable living levels, the property accommodates large households, multigenerational arrangements or guest use. The lower floor, accessed separately from outside, contains a living and dining room with fireplace, an ensuite master bedroom, two further bedrooms and a bathroom. Amenities include a private heated pool, landscaped garden, covered terraces and a garage with EV connection.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1970 (indicative) and has since been partially reformed, including a new kitchen on the ground floor. The condition is registered as good. Buyers should expect a mature property with features typical of its construction period, some of which have been modernised, rather than contemporary new-build specifications or warranties.
The property is a resale villa, so no developer guarantees, phased delivery or new-build energy certification apply. There is no mention of sea views. The lower living unit is accessed from outside, which limits internal circulation between the two levels. Plot size and orientation are not specified beyond the stated figures. No communal facilities such as a gym or concierge are included.
The property fits several recognisable situations. A large or multigenerational family needing six bedrooms benefits from the division into two independent living zones, each with its own bathroom facilities. Households relocating year-round value the walking-distance supermarket, pharmacy and schools, including the English International College under one kilometre away. Buyers seeking a guest or rental unit gain from the separately accessed lower floor with ensuite master bedroom. Golf players find three courses within two kilometres. Those wanting a mature garden, private heated pool and existing solar installation avoid the waiting periods and landscaping years associated with new plots. The property is less suited to buyers wanting new-build warranties, contemporary architecture, sea views or on-site communal facilities, these are not part of the offering. It also assumes comfort with a 1970 build, where construction standards differ from current regulations despite the reforms carried out. Households without a car should note that while daily errands are walkable, beaches, Marbella centre and the airport realistically require driving. For permanent residence with occasional guest accommodation, or a coastal base combining family use with rental potential via the separate unit, the configuration matches the stated data.
The villa combines its original 1970 structure with documented later interventions. The ground-floor kitchen has been fully reformed and is new. The listing registers the overall condition as good. Interior imagery shows a living room with wooden beams and large windows, a dining area with natural light, a second living room with fireplace and garden view, and a modern bathroom in pink and white with bathtub, a mix of period features and updated elements rather than a uniform contemporary finish. Climate systems are comprehensive: hot and cold air conditioning throughout, central heating, and solar panels for energy generation, supplemented by a heated pool. The garage includes a connection for electric vehicles. Outdoor spaces comprise a covered terrace, private terraces, and a landscaped private garden visible from the main living areas with the pool in view. The property is sold fully furnished with a fully fitted kitchen, which shortens the move-in timeline but means buyers accept the existing interior scheme. Technical documentation such as an energy performance certificate is not stated in the available data and should be requested during due diligence. Buyers of a property of this age should also verify installations, electrical, plumbing and pool systems, through an independent survey, as reform history beyond the kitchen is not itemised in the listing.
The asking price is €1,200,000, translating to approximately €4,000 per m² of built area. Within the immediate area, comparable new-build options such as The Valley in Elviria start from around €1,395,275, placing this resale villa below new-build pricing for the same district. The property is completed and available as a resale transaction, meaning no staged payments or construction-linked schedule apply. Price variation within Elviria depends heavily on build year, plot size and proximity to golf or beach; this villa combines a 1,000 m² plot with a 1970 construction date and subsequent reforms, a profile distinct from both older unreformed stock and contemporary developments.
Daily life here centres on an established villa neighbourhood with native pine and cork oak cover, close to the functional heart of Elviria. The supermarket at roughly 500 metres and the pharmacy at 445 metres make routine errands possible on foot, which is uncommon in many villa districts on the coast. Three schools within a two-kilometre radius and the English International College at 0.8 km place education within easy reach. The villa itself supports a two-zone living rhythm: the ground floor with entrance hall, guest toilet, open-plan living and dining area, new kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms; and a self-contained lower floor with its own living room, fireplace, ensuite master bedroom, two additional bedrooms and a bathroom. The private heated pool extends the usable outdoor season, while solar panels reduce running costs. With 29 restaurants and 9 cafés within a two-kilometre radius, dining out does not require a long journey. For recreation, Greenlife Golf lies about 800 metres away and Santa María Golf under two kilometres. The area remains residential rather than touristic in character, although the wider Elviria zone contains hotels. Public transport exists, three lines with 39 stops, but the practical pattern for most residents is walking for daily needs and driving for beaches, Marbella centre and the airport. The flat gradient towards the coast (approximately 1.5%) makes cycling a realistic option for beach trips.
Elviria functions as the centre of Marbella East, with shopping facilities, restaurants and bars concentrated around its commercial core. The immediate vicinity of the villa contains 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, a bank and 3 schools within a two-kilometre radius. The terrain is essentially flat, elevation is around 30 metres above sea level with a 1.5% slope towards the coast, so walking and cycling are practical for local trips. Beaches at El Alicate (2.1 km) and Playa de Artola (1.9 km) are the nearest coastal options, with Playa de Cabopino at 4.4 km near the marina of Puerto Cabopino. Healthcare includes a hospital at 3.6 km and five health centres in the wider area. The urbanisation is described as low density with vegetation of native pines and cork oaks, giving the neighbourhood a green, established character rather than a resort atmosphere. Public transport covers three lines with 39 stops, sufficient for occasional trips but not for daily commuting patterns most residents adopt. Marbella old town is approximately 6 km away for cultural and evening outings.
The map shows the villa's position within Elviria's villa fabric: the commercial centre, supermarket and pharmacy within walking range, three golf courses clustered to the north and east, and the beaches of El Alicate and Artola roughly two kilometres south. Marbella old town lies six kilometres west along the coast.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Elviria occupies the central position of Marbella East, roughly 6 km from Marbella's old town and about 32 km straight-line from Málaga Airport. It sits between the more resort-oriented coastal strips towards Fuengirola and the densely developed western Marbella zones. Its character, villas interspersed with low-rise apartment complexes under pine cover, distinguishes it from high-rise sections of the coast. The English International College at 0.8 km reinforces its profile as a family residential district rather than a holiday-let zone. Regional transaction volume of 4,743 recorded sales indicates an active local market.
Distances from the property: nearest beach El Alicate at approximately 2.0–2.1 km; Playa de Artola 1.9 km; Playa de Cabopino 4.4 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 32 km in a straight line, typically a 35–45 minute drive depending on traffic. Gibraltar Airport lies about 64 km away.

The location records approximately 3,855 sunshine hours per year and an average annual temperature of 19.1°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, spans about five months. Elevation is 30 metres above sea level with a 1.5% slope to the coast, meaning no meaningful climbing between the house and the beach. The villa's own heated pool extends swimming beyond the natural sea season. Vegetation in Elviria consists largely of native pine trees and cork oaks, providing shade and a green backdrop unusual for coastal zones at this proximity to the sea. The climate data supports year-round residence rather than purely seasonal use, with mild winters consistent with the regional Mediterranean pattern. The solar panel installation aligns with the high insolation levels, contributing to hot water and energy generation.
