This detached villa is situated in the Cascada de Camoján enclave of Sierra Blanca, on the elevated ground behind Marbella's Golden Mile. The property is a completed five-bedroom, five-bathroom residence of approximately 915 m² on a plot of roughly 1,855 m², originally built in 1970 and finished to a contemporary standard. The villa forms part of a gated community with 24-hour security. South-facing orientation provides views over the Mediterranean coastline and the La Concha mountain backdrop. The asking price is €8,495,000. Marbella town centre, the beach, and Puerto Banús all sit within a short driving radius.
Against the wider Costa del Sol market, this villa operates in a different register from the comparable new-build developments listed. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) are apartment-led projects positioned at the accessible end of the market, typically targeting second-home buyers and investors in the eastern and western growth corridors of the coast. This property, by contrast, is a single completed villa in the Sierra Blanca hills above Marbella's Golden Mile, one of the coast's longest-established premium residential addresses. The practical differences are substantial. The apartment projects offer new-build specifications, warranty cover and communal facilities at entry-level pricing; they do not offer private plots, en-suite bedroom counts of this scale, or the privacy of a gated hillside setting. This villa offers 915 m² of built space, a private pool and garden, a lift and a gym within the dwelling, and views from an elevated position, attributes essentially absent from the sub-€300,000 segment. Locationally, Marbella's Sierra Blanca sits closer to the coast's concentration of golf courses, international schools and marina infrastructure than Torre del Mar in the east, while remaining within a 40, 50 minute drive of Málaga airport. The regional transaction data, 4,743 recorded transactions in the surrounding market, indicates an active, liquid area, though a villa at €8,495,000 addresses a thin, discretionary buyer pool with longer typical marketing periods than the volume segments. Buyers comparing across these options are effectively choosing between new-build efficiency and community living on the one hand, and space, privacy and an established prime address on the other; the two rarely compete for the same purchaser.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in the foothills of Sierra Blanca, roughly 1.3 km from the nearest beach and within the Marbella municipality rather than in an outlying coastal strip. The location combines elevated, residential quiet with practical proximity: supermarkets, pharmacies and health centres are within a short drive or walk, and Marbella's centre lies minutes away by car.
The property functions as a large family or entertaining residence: five en-suite bedrooms, a private pool and garden, a gym, a lift, and multiple covered and open terraces. Air conditioning, central heating, a fireplace and double glazing cover year-round occupancy. The utility room and partially fitted kitchen leave scope for customisation.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1970 (completion date indicative) and is delivered in finished, immediately habitable condition. No construction-phase risk or off-plan payments apply. Any modernisation, for example the partially fitted kitchen, would be at the buyer's initiative after completion of purchase.
The property does not offer direct beach access, sea-front positioning, or golf course frontage; the nearest golf facilities are several kilometres away. It is a single resale villa, so no choice of units, floor plans or finishes is available. There is no on-site communal wellness infrastructure beyond the gated community's security services. Purchase is at the stated price, not from an entry-level price point.
This property aligns with a limited set of buyer situations. It suits a household seeking a substantial, permanent or long-stay residence on the Costa del Sol where security and privacy are priorities, the gated community with 24-hour security, the size of the plot, and the elevated position all serve that use case. It also fits buyers who entertain frequently: the en-suite bedroom configuration, the lift, the gym and the terraced outdoor areas support hosting family and guests in comfort. The location works well for families with children at international schools: the British International School is approximately 3 km away and the English International College around 7.7 km. It is less suited to buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave holiday apartment, a frontline beach property, or a golf-frontage home, the nearest golf courses are 6.6 km or more away, and the beach involves a drive or a moderately sloped walk. Buyers focused on new-build energy certification should also note the 1970 construction date, meaning the building predates current efficiency standards unless retrofitted. In short, the property matches a buyer prioritising space, privacy, views and proximity to Marbella's amenities over new-build specifications or coastal frontage.
The villa presents a bohemian-inspired interior scheme using natural textures and selected finishes, visible in the photographic material: a bathroom with dual sinks, tub and shower; a wood-detailed entry hallway; and furnished outdoor terraces around the pool. Technical installation includes air conditioning, central heating and a fireplace, giving three separate climate-control options across seasons, with double glazing throughout. A lift serves the property's levels, a practical feature given the built area of 915 m² and the hillside setting. The kitchen is partially fitted, which means appliances and certain cabinetry may need to be completed or replaced by the new owner; this should be verified during a viewing and factored into the budget. The private pool, landscaped gardens and covered terraces are in place. As a 1970 building, the structure predates modern energy-efficiency requirements; no energy label is stated in the available data, so buyers are advised to request the existing energy performance certificate and any records of renovations to the roof, glazing, insulation and building services. The utility room provides space for laundry and building services. Overall, the finish level is consistent with a maintained, high-end resale villa rather than a newly delivered development, and an independent technical survey remains standard practice for a property of this age and value.
The property is offered at €8,495,000 as a completed, single residence, there is no price range or unit selection. In context, nearby new-build developments along the Costa del Sol start from roughly €205,000 to €270,000 for apartments, placing this villa in a distinctly different segment of the market. The price reflects the plot size (approx. 1,855 m²), built area (915 m²), the Sierra Blanca address, and the completed, immediately usable condition. Buyers should budget separately for the partially fitted kitchen, ongoing community fees for the gated complex, and standard purchase costs.
Daily life here follows the rhythm of an established, secure residential enclave set slightly above the coast. Mornings typically begin on the south-facing terraces, which catch the sun across most of the day; the elevated position at roughly 81 m above sea level means the coastline is visible without the property sitting in the bustle of the seafront itself. The gradient towards the beach is moderate, around 4.9%, so the walk down to Playa de la Bajadilla is feasible for most people, though the return is uphill and many residents drive the 1.3 km. The villa's internal layout supports both family living and formal entertaining: five bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom, generous living areas, a lift connecting levels, and a gym within the property. The private pool and garden extend the living space outdoors for much of the year, supported by a climate that averages 18.3°C annually with around 3,851 hours of sunshine. Practical errands are undemanding, a supermarket sits 73 m away, a pharmacy 263 m, and a hospital 1.3 km. Within a 2 km radius there are some 130 restaurants, 24 cafés and 20 banks, which means the area remains fully serviced year-round rather than depending on seasonal trade. The neighbourhood is quiet by nature of its gated setting and hillside position, while Marbella's town centre, with its 50 public transport stops across 11 lines, remains within easy reach for anyone who prefers not to drive.
Life in Sierra Blanca and the Cascada de Camoján enclave is defined by its position just above Marbella's Golden Mile: residential and quiet, but minutes from one of the coast's most amenity-dense stretches. Within a 2 km radius the immediate environment counts around 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies, 20 banks and 24 cafés, alongside 5 health centres and a hospital at roughly 1.3 km. Daily shopping is unusually convenient, the nearest supermarket is 73 m from the property. Education options are extensive for a location of this size, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area. Tourism is present (52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds in the vicinity) but concentrated along the coastal strip, leaving the hillside residential streets comparatively calm year-round. Public transport, 11 lines and 50 stops, connects the area to Marbella centre and along the coast. Sport and recreation facilities close by include municipal swimming pools (0.9, 1.0 km), a rhythmic gymnastics pavilion (0.6 km) and a sports complex (0.9 km), while an EV charging point is 434 m away and a Tesla Supercharger 4.3 km. Marinas at La Bajadilla and Marbella (each around 1.4 km) add nautical access.
The map shows the villa's position in the Sierra Blanca foothills above Marbella's Golden Mile, roughly 1.3 km inland from the Bajadilla beach and marina. Marbella centre, the coastal road, and the routes towards Puerto Banús and Málaga airport are all visible from this vantage point, the Mediterranean lifestyle of the Costa del Sol laid out below the property.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the Costa del Sol's geography, the property occupies the Marbella segment of the coast rather than the Málaga city area, positioned between Marbella centre to the east and Puerto Banús and San Pedro to the west. Estepona lies roughly 25, 30 km west and Fuengirola a similar distance east. This places it in the established high-value residential band of the coast, inland of the Golden Mile hotel strip but above the coastal traffic corridors, a combination of address, elevation and accessibility that defines the Sierra Blanca micro-market.
The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, is 1.3 km away; Playa de Casablanca lies 3.2 km and Playa de Nagüeles 3.9 km from the property. Marbella's town centre is a few minutes' drive, with the marinas at 1.4 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 38 km in a straight line, typically a 40, 50 minute drive via the A-7/AP-7, while Gibraltar Airport sits roughly 59 km straight-line to the west. Golf requires a car: the nearest practice facility is The Range at 6.6 km, with Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 8.1 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 8.9 km; broader golfing options at Lauro Golf and Mijas Golf are 19, 28 km away. Everyday essentials are unusually close: supermarket at 73 m, pharmacy at 263 m, hospital at 1.3 km. An EV charger is 434 m from the door.

The property sits at approximately 81 m above sea level on the lower slopes of Sierra Blanca, below La Concha, the mountain that defines Marbella's skyline. The slope towards the beach is moderate at 4.9%, enough to feel on foot but not an obstacle for most residents. The climate is Mediterranean with a historical average of 3,851 sunshine hours per year and a mean annual temperature of 18.3°C. The sea-warmed swimming season, defined by water temperatures of 20°C or above, runs approximately four months, though the private pool on site extends outdoor bathing beyond that window. The elevation slightly moderates summer heat compared with the seafront and provides the panoramic sea and mountain views recorded for the property. The nearby viewpoints at Mirador de los Gitanos (2.5 km) and Mirador de Ojén (4.8 km) indicate the walking and hiking terrain available in the immediate hinterland.

Coastal recreation centres on Marbella's town beaches. Playa de la Bajadilla (1.3 km) sits beside the working fishing port and marina of the same name; Playa de Casablanca (3.2 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.9 km) extend the options along the Golden Mile. Water-sport access runs through the marinas at La Bajadilla and Marbella, each roughly 1.4 km away. Golf is the region's other principal recreation: The Range golf lessons (6.6 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (8.1 km) and Magna Marbella Golf (8.9 km) are the nearest facilities, with the wider concentration of courses between Marbella and Estepona further west. Land-based sport is close at hand, municipal pools at 0.9, 1.0 km, a gymnastics pavilion at 0.6 km and the Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima at 0.9 km. Hiking terrain opens directly behind the property in the Sierra Blanca foothills.
