A five-bedroom detached villa on a 960 m² plot in the gated Los Naranjos Hill Club community in Nueva Andalucía, within the Marbella area. The 300 m² property dates from 1970 and has been stripped back to its shell, with demolition works already completed so that renovation can begin immediately. The asking price is €1,650,000. The setting places Puerto Banús about one kilometre away, with several golf courses and beaches within roughly three kilometres.
Within the Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a different segment from the newer apartment developments found further along the coast. Projects such as 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 new-build or off-plan apartments positioned as turnkey purchases at a considerably lower entry price. This property, at a fixed €1,650,000, competes instead in the established villa market of Nueva Andalucía, where value derives from land, location and the end result of a renovation rather than from developer specifications. Nueva Andalucía's position within that villa market is shaped by two factors. First, the Golf Valley setting places several courses within roughly three kilometres, which supports consistent demand for renovated family homes in gated communities. Second, the distance to Puerto Banús, about one kilometre straight-line, puts the marina, its beaches and its dining within a short drive while keeping the residential streets themselves quiet. Annual housing transactions in the area, recorded at roughly 4,743 per year, indicate an active and liquid market, which matters both for resale prospects after renovation and for price discovery during negotiation. Compared with Marbella centre, seven kilometres away, Nueva Andalucía offers lower density and larger plots; compared with Estepona, it offers closer proximity to the Puerto Banús commercial and leisure cluster. The trade-off for buyers here is the renovation obligation: the €1,650,000 asking price covers the shell and the plot, with the full interior fit-out to be funded and managed separately. For buyers comparing turnkey apartments at €300,000 against a villa project at more than five times that price, the decision rests on whether the land, privacy and five-bedroom scale of a gated villa justify the additional works and capital involved.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in Los Naranjos Hill Club, a gated residential enclave in Nueva Andalucía, roughly seven kilometres from Marbella town centre as the crow flies. Puerto Deportivo José Banús lies about one kilometre away, and the nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, about 2.6 kilometres. Golf courses such as Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Magna Marbella Golf are within approximately three kilometres.
The property offers five bedrooms and five bathrooms across 300 m² of built space, with an ensuite bathroom among its features. Outdoor space consists of a private, mature garden with a private pool and garden views. Private parking is included. The generous 960 m² plot allows for landscaped gardens and the potential creation of a substantial pool area as part of a renovation.
This is an existing home, originally completed in 1970 and currently key-ready in the sense that renovation works can start immediately. The demolition phase has been carried out and the interior has been stripped back to the shell. A Declaración Responsable (minor works permit) may be included, subject to confirmation, and an architectural project may also form part of the sale.
The villa is an unfinished renovation project in shell condition; it is not move-in ready and requires a full interior fit-out before it can be occupied. Any works are limited by the minor works permit, which covers interior refurbishment but not structural alterations. The property offers garden views rather than sea views. Buyers should budget separately for the complete renovation on top of the purchase price.
This property suits a buyer with a renovation budget and a clear plan. The first recognisable situation is that of an investor aiming to renovate and resell: the demolition has been done, a permit may be included, and demand for renovated villas in Nueva Andalucía is well documented through the area's annual transaction volume. A second situation is a buyer who wants to determine every finish, layout and design element personally rather than paying a premium for an existing renovation. A third is a family seeking space, five bedrooms and five bathrooms across 300 m², within a gated community close to international schooling, with the British International School about 3.8 kilometres away. The property is less suitable for buyers wanting an immediately habitable home, since the interior requires a complete fit-out, and for those seeking sea views, as the current outlook is over the garden.
In its current state the villa offers a bare structure rather than finished living space. Built in 1970 and subsequently stripped back to the shell, it has no kitchen, bathrooms, flooring or interior finishes in place, every element of the interior remains to be installed. This is the defining technical characteristic of the purchase. The permitted scope of works, under the minor works declaration that may be included, covers interior reconfiguration of non-structural walls, new kitchens and bathrooms, electrical and plumbing upgrades, new flooring and interior finishes, window and door replacement where permitted, and painting, plastering and carpentry. Structural alterations fall outside this scope, which means the load-bearing layout of the 1970 structure is effectively fixed unless a different permit route is pursued. The completed renovation potential visible in the reference imagery shows a modern entrance with garden views, an open dining room with fireplace and large glazing, a kitchen with island, and an outdoor kitchen and lounge area by the pool. These images indicate the intended direction rather than the current state of the property. The existing plot characteristics, mature planting, private pool, private garden and private parking within a gated complex, form the finished outdoor framework that the renovation will inherit. Buyers should commission an independent technical survey of the 1970 structure, including the electrical and plumbing provisions, before finalising a budget.
The asking price for this villa is €1,650,000. This is a fixed asking price for an existing property, not a starting price within a range. The price reflects the property in its current shell condition after the demolition phase has been completed. Buyers should factor in the cost of the full interior renovation, including kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, electrical and plumbing installations, and window and door replacement. The sale may include a minor works permit and an architectural project, subject to confirmation, which can shorten the preparation phase and reduce initial project costs. Comparable new-build apartments on the Costa del Sol start from roughly €205,000 to €321,000, which places this villa in a different segment of the market.
Daily life around this villa follows the rhythm of an established, quiet residential neighbourhood built around golf and proximity to Puerto Banús. Mornings can begin in the private garden, which spans the majority of the 960 m² plot and already contains mature planting that screens the property from its surroundings. The private pool sits within this outdoor space, and the flat terrain of the area, the gradient towards the beach is only 0.2 per cent, means the garden is usable without stairs or sloped paths. The immediate surroundings are residential rather than commercial, so the day-to-day experience is calm, particularly outside the summer months. Everyday needs are nonetheless close at hand: within two kilometres there are around 69 restaurants, 10 cafés, three pharmacies and four banks, which in practice covers most daily errands. The Polideportivo San Pedro sports centre lies about 2.9 kilometres away for swimming, court sports or gym training. The rhythm of the area is shaped by the golf courses. Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is about 2.3 kilometres away and Magna Marbella Golf about 3.1 kilometres, with a golf practice range under two kilometres from the house. Puerto Banús, roughly one kilometre as the crow flies, adds marina life, dining and shopping within a short drive. Beaches such as Playa de Nagüeles (about 2.7 km) and Playa de Casablanca (about 3.5 km) extend the day towards the sea in the afternoon. The climate supports this pattern for much of the year, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C to 26°C and a swimming season of about six months with water at or above 20°C.
The villa stands about 10 metres above sea level on flat terrain, in a residential belt between the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía and the coast. Within two kilometres, everyday infrastructure is well developed: dozens of restaurants, ten cafés, three pharmacies, four banks and a dentist cover routine needs, and five health centres serve the wider area. Education provision is substantial, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded regionally, including international options within driving distance. Marbella, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, lies about seven kilometres away in a straight line and functions as the main urban centre for shopping, healthcare and culture. Málaga city is about 54 kilometres away. The area is served by ten public transport lines with around 50 stops, which provides a basic service level, though a car remains the practical mode of transport for most journeys from a gated villa community. An electric vehicle charging point is located about 2.3 kilometres away. The tourism footprint, 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds, means the area is noticeably busier in summer and quieter in the off-season.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nueva Andalucía sits between Marbella and San Pedro Alcántara, inland of Puerto Banús, and is commonly known as the Golf Valley for the cluster of courses surrounding it. Within the regional hierarchy, it is an established premium residential zone rather than a resort or a village. Marbella centre, seven kilometres away, supplies the urban layer; Málaga, 54 kilometres away, is the provincial capital and main transport gateway. To the west, Estepona and Algeciras mark successive stages of the coast. The location combines immediate proximity to the marina with the quieter setting of a gated hillside community.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa Canina Ventura del Mar, is 2.6 km away, with Playa de Nagüeles at 2.7 km and Playa de Casablanca at 3.5 km. Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 1.0 km away, and two further marinas, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen and Marina la Bajadilla, lie at 5.3 km and 6.7 km respectively. Golf is close: a practice range at 1.9 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.3 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 3.1 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 45 km away; Gibraltar Airport is about 52 km. Marbella centre is 7 km and Málaga city 54 km. Public transport consists of ten lines with 50 stops in the area, and access by car is straightforward over the coastal network.

The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season lasts around six months, during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or more. The villa stands at about 10 metres above sea level with a gradient towards the beach of only 0.2 per cent, so the terrain is flat throughout, relevant for garden use and for comfortable walking or cycling in the immediate area. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, so outdoor living around the pool and garden is practical for most of the year. The Mirador del Muelle de Honor viewpoint, 1.2 km away, offers a nearby spot for walks with views over the coast.
