This completed detached villa is set in Elviria, in the Marbella East area of Málaga province, roughly six kilometres from Marbella's old town. Built in 1984 and since renovated, the property occupies two combined plots totalling 6,128 m² in an established, low-density residential area of pine and cork oak. The villa offers 783 m² of living space across seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, with sea views, two private pools and a south-west orientation. Everyday amenities including a supermarket, pharmacy and several golf courses lie within short range, and the beaches of El Alicate and Playa de Artola are approximately two kilometres away.
Within the Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a distinct segment from the region's new-build apartment developments. The listed comparables, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), represent volume new-build stock in the €200,000–€300,000 entry bracket, aimed principally at second-home and investment buyers. At €4,200,000, this villa competes not with those schemes but with the established luxury resale market of Marbella East, where value derives from land area, privacy, view orientation and location within a mature, low-density setting. The relevant comparison set is therefore other detached villas in Elviria, Santa María, Los Monteros and the Bahía de Marbella area. Elviria's characteristics within that set are notable: it functions as the commercial hub of Marbella East, with walkable amenities, a supermarket at 511 m and a pharmacy at 445 m from this property, that some more secluded villa zones lack. Golf proximity is stronger here than in most competing areas, with three golf facilities inside a two-kilometre radius. The eastern Marbella villa belt generally trades beach proximity (this property is two kilometres inland, at 30 m elevation) for larger plots, vegetation and views, and this property follows that pattern. Buyers weighing this against new-build alternatives elsewhere on the coast are effectively comparing a completed, characterful resale product with land and privacy against phased apartment developments with communal facilities, warranties and lower entry pricing, a choice between two different ownership propositions rather than two versions of the same one. Regional market context shows 4,743 property transactions recorded in the area's dataset, indicating an active market with reasonable liquidity for resale properties. The recorded provincial median income of €16,450 underlines the degree to which this price segment operates independently of local income levels, being driven by international demand.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in Elviria, an established residential area of Marbella East, around six kilometres from Marbella's historic centre. The A-7 coast road connects the area westwards to Marbella and Fuengirola and eastwards towards Málaga, whose airport is approximately 32 km away. A supermarket (511 m), pharmacy (445 m) and Greenlife Golf (805 m) are within walking range. Three public transport lines with 39 stops serve the wider area.
The property functions as a single-storey main residence with a self-contained lower-level apartment of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, suitable for guests or independent use. It provides seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two swimming pools, multiple terraces, a barbecue area and parking for up to five cars across three garages and a driveway. Underfloor heating and air conditioning are installed. Solar panels are present with capacity for expansion.
This is not a new-build development. The villa was completed in 1984 (indicative) and is recorded as recently renovated and in excellent condition. No construction phase or delivery schedule applies; the property is available in its existing state. Buyers should verify renovation records, permits and technical installations through standard due diligence before purchase.
The property does not form part of a gated community with shared facilities; there is no on-site communal pool, gym or concierge service beyond the villa's own amenities. It is a single resale villa rather than an off-plan or phased development, so no payment plan, stage payments or customisation of finishes is available. The plot's potential for a second dwelling is subject to municipal planning approval and is not guaranteed.
This property aligns with several specific situations. A multi-generational household may find the self-contained three-bedroom apartment useful for independent living alongside the main residence, without extending the main house. Buyers seeking single-storey living will note that the principal accommodation is arranged on one level, with the guest apartment and second pool on the lower terrace. Households requiring guest capacity beyond the usual two or three bedrooms, for extended family, frequent visitors or live-in staff, are matched by the seven-bedroom layout. Car-dependent families with several vehicles benefit from three garages plus driveway parking for five cars. The location suits buyers who want walkable daily amenities (supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants) while remaining in a low-density villa setting, and who value proximity to golf, three courses within two kilometres, and to international schooling such as the English International College at 0.8 km. It is less obviously suited to buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave apartment with communal management, a frontline beach position, or a new-build property with warranties and customisation. Buyers intending to realise the plot's potential for a second dwelling should treat that as subject to planning verification, not as a certainty. The property also fits those who prioritise land and privacy over proximity to Marbella town centre, which lies six kilometres west.
The villa is recorded as recently renovated and in excellent condition, originally completed in 1984. The main living space uses floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto the terrace, which indicates a substantial level of glazing aimed at view orientation and daylight. The kitchen is contemporary in style with a breakfast area connected to the living space. The main suite includes an indoor and an outdoor shower. Climate systems are a notable technical feature: underfloor heating is installed alongside air conditioning, providing year-round temperature control, and solar panels contribute to hot water or energy supply with capacity noted for expansion, a relevant consideration given electricity costs for a property of this size. En-suite bathrooms are listed among the features. Outdoor infrastructure includes two swimming pools at different levels, two outdoor dining areas, a barbecue installation and a bar. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, extensive terracing and pool plant in a coastal environment all carry maintenance implications that buyers should assess through a technical survey, particularly regarding waterproofing, pool systems and the condition of the original 1980s structure where renovation may not have reached. Standard Spanish practice applies: buyers should request the cédula de habitabilidad, energy performance certificate, and documentation of renovation permits to verify the legal status of all built elements.
The asking price is €4,200,000 for the completed villa, covering 783 m² of built space on 6,128 m² of land. This positions the property in the established resale segment of Marbella East rather than the new-build apartment market. As a single existing property, there is no price variation across units or phases; the price applies to the villa, its two pools, solar installation, garages and land as one lot. Prospective buyers should budget additionally for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees) and ongoing costs such as IBI property tax, utilities and pool and garden maintenance. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the seller's terms and completion of standard conveyancing.
The villa operates as a large single-family property on a generous dual plot, arranged principally on one level with a separate lower-level apartment. Daily life revolves around the main living room with floor-to-ceiling glazing opening onto terraces with sea views, a contemporary kitchen with breakfast area, and the outdoor zones: two swimming pools, two outdoor dining spaces, a barbecue area and a bar. The surrounding garden borders unspoilt land on one side, which contributes to privacy and an open aspect. Elviria itself is a low-density villa area interspersed with low-rise apartment complexes, characterised by native pine and cork oak vegetation rather than dense urban blocks. Amenities are genuinely walkable: a supermarket at roughly 500 metres, a pharmacy slightly closer, and around 29 restaurants and 9 cafés within a two-kilometre radius. Three schools and four pharmacies serve the immediate area. The rhythm of the location is residential rather than resort-based, quieter outside the summer months, with the commercial centre and beach facilities busier in high season. For a household using the property year-round, the combination of underfloor heating and air conditioning covers both winter and summer conditions, and the south-west orientation provides afternoon and evening sun on the terraces. The self-contained apartment allows for separate use by family members, staff or guests, and the garage capacity for five cars accommodates a multi-vehicle household.
Daily provision is close at hand: the nearest supermarket is 511 metres away and a pharmacy 445 metres, both within an easy walk. The two-kilometre radius contains roughly 29 restaurants, 9 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 schools and a bank, which reduces dependence on the car for routine errands. Healthcare is served by 5 health centres in the wider area, with the nearest hospital approximately 3.6 km away. Education options include the English International College at 0.8 km, alongside 41 primary and 28 secondary schools recorded in the broader region. Golf is a defining local amenity, Greenlife Golf Marbella (805 m), its driving range (1.1 km) and Santa María Golf & Country Club (1.8 km), and the Don Carlos Tennis Club sits 1.8 km away. Transport is adequate rather than comprehensive: three public transport lines with 39 stops serve the area, and Fuengirola hosts the nearest railway station for connections along the coast. For most residents a car remains the practical mode for Marbella, the airport and regional travel; the A-7 provides the main arterial route. The area's character derives from its vegetation of native pines and cork oaks and its low-density layout, giving a settled residential feel that contrasts with the denser coastal strips further east and west.
The map shows the villa's position in Elviria relative to Marbella town to the west and the beaches, golf courses and commercial facilities of Marbella East. Note the short distances to Greenlife Golf, the supermarket and pharmacy, and the roughly two-kilometre reach to El Alicate and Artola beaches. The A-7 runs along the coast, connecting to Marbella and Málaga airport.

Elviria functions as the commercial and residential centre of Marbella East, positioned roughly six kilometres from Marbella old town and midway between the town and the wider eastern coast towards Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola. Within this hierarchy, Elviria is characterised by villa plots and low-rise apartment complexes rather than the hotel density of central Marbella or the tower developments further east. The nearest comparators at a local level are the El Alicate and Cabopino beach zones; the property's inland-but-elevated position trades beachfront proximity for land size, privacy and views, at two kilometres from the sand.
Beaches lie within a short drive or a longer walk: El Alicate at 2.0–2.1 km and Playa de Artola at roughly 1.9–2.0 km, with Playa de Cabopino at 4.4 km near the marina of Puerto Cabopino (4.7 km). Marbella's old town is approximately six kilometres west, with La Cañada shopping centre on that route. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is around 32 km straight-line, typically 40–50 minutes by road, while Gibraltar Airport is roughly 64 km straight-line to the southwest. Golf access is unusually close: Greenlife Golf at under one kilometre, its driving range at 1.1 km and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.8 km. An electric vehicle charging point is recorded 1.1 km away. Marinas at Marina Marbella (7.6 km) and Marina la Bajadilla (7.8 km) provide berths and waterfront dining within a ten-to-fifteen-minute drive.

The site sits at approximately 30 metres above sea level with a gentle 1.5% slope towards the coast, meaning the roughly two-kilometre approach to the beach is effectively flat and manageable on foot or by bicycle. Historical climate data for the area records around 3,855 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 19.1°C, figures consistent with the Costa del Sol's reputation as one of southern Europe's most reliable sunshine regions. The sea reaches 20°C or warmer for approximately five months of the year, defining the comfortable swimming season for the pools and the sea alike, with pool use extending beyond this thanks to the property's own facilities. The natural setting is characteristic of Elviria: native pine and cork oak cover, with the plot itself bordering unspoilt land on one side. Hiking trails in the surrounding hills are noted in the property data. The south-west orientation of the villa means terraces receive afternoon and evening sun, which suits outdoor dining; the trade-off is later morning shade on main terraces, a point worth noting for breakfast-oriented users.

Three beaches sit within range: El Alicate (2.0 km) and Playa de Artola (2.0 km), both within walking or short cycling distance on the flat terrain, and Playa de Cabopino (4.4 km), which adjoins the protected dune system of Artola and the marina at Puerto Cabopino. The nearest swimming pools beyond the property's own are at Playa Real and Camping Marbella Playa (both 2.5 km). Golf is the area's strongest recreational asset, with Greenlife Golf Marbella and its driving range under 1.1 km away and Santa María Golf & Country Club at 1.8 km, three golf facilities within a two-kilometre radius. The Don Carlos Tennis Club is 1.8 km from the property. Water sports are available along the coast, as noted in the area's facilities, and the marinas at Cabopino and Marbella (7.6–7.8 km) offer sailing and boat-related activities. The regional tourism infrastructure, 52 hotels and roughly 12,800 beds, supports year-round restaurant and service provision, which benefits permanent residents outside the summer season.
