Regional Comparison

Compared to Aquamar in Torre del Mar, priced from €269,950, this property commands a higher price due to its location in the Marbella municipality and detached nature. Lantana Residencial in Mijas offers lower entry prices for townhouses, targeting a different market segment. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona represents new builds at a lower price point but with a longer waiting period for completion. This villa offers immediate availability and a larger floor area typical of established Marbella residences.

Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The property is located in Reserva de Marbella, a residential area on the eastern side of Marbella municipality. It lies near the border with Mijas Costa, approximately 2 km from the coastline. The immediate vicinity consists of similar residential developments and local commercial zones, with direct access to the AP-7 motorway.

Layout

The residence addresses the requirement for single-level living, containing all sleeping and living areas on the ground floor. A 50 m² basement provides additional space for storage or utilities. The inclusion of a private swimming pool and courtyard caters to the preference for outdoor leisure within the property boundaries.

Project Status

The building dates back to 1989 but has undergone a comprehensive renovation. Recent updates include the replacement of plumbing and electrical systems. The refurbishment has modernised the kitchen and bathrooms and installed energy-efficient features such as double-glazing and climate control systems.

Points of Attention

The plot size of 120 m² limits the extent of garden space compared to the total built area. The property is not frontline beach; access to the sea requires a journey of approximately 2 km. As a refurbished property rather than new construction, it does not benefit from the latest statutory energy efficiency regulations for new builds.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This property is suitable for families or households requiring multiple bedrooms and a layout without internal stairs. It fits those seeking a permanent residence near international schools and golf facilities. The configuration also accommodates remote workers needing a dedicated office space in the basement.

Build Quality & Finishing

The refurbishment has introduced modern finishes, including an open-plan kitchen equipped with contemporary appliances. Bathrooms have been updated with new sanitary ware. Technical installations include PVC double-glazed windows, electric shutters, a video intercom, and an alarm system. The private pool features mosaic tiling, and the property benefits from air conditioning and hot/cold climate control.

Price & Context

Price & Availability

The price is set from €820,000. This value reflects the total floor area of 200 m² and the inclusion of four bedrooms. Compared to the regional average for apartments, this is a premium offering, yet it remains competitive for detached villas in the Marbella area given the recent refurbishment.

Context & Surroundings

Daily life in this location is characterised by a balance between residential privacy and accessibility to amenities. The urbanisation is established, reducing construction noise. The elevation of 100 metres means the property is removed from the immediate humidity of the seafront. Residents typically utilise vehicles for larger shopping trips, while some local services are within walking distance. The rhythm of life here is influenced by the proximity to golf facilities and the seasonal fluctuations of the nearby coastal resorts.
