This semi-detached house is located in Sierra Blanca, a gated residential urbanisation on the hillside above Marbella. The property offers five bedrooms, six bathrooms and 531 m² of living space, completed in 2012 and now available key-ready. The asking price is fixed at €3,300,000. Inside a gated community with 24-hour security and concierge service, the house includes a private heated pool, a rooftop solarium with jacuzzi and barbecue, a lift serving every level, underfloor heating and parking for up to three cars. Sea views are part of the setting. The nearest beach lies 1.9 km away as the crow flies, and Marbella's town centre, schools and golf courses are all within a short drive.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Sierra Blanca sits on the western slopes above Marbella, roughly 1.9 km from the coastline as the crow flies and about 41 km from Málaga Airport. The setting is suburban and residential, within a gated urbanisation. A supermarket lies 1.6 km away and a hospital 2.1 km, with several beaches under 2.1 km. The gradient towards the sea is steep, at roughly 7.4 per cent.
The house is arranged across multiple floors with lift access to each level. Five bedrooms and six bathrooms accommodate larger households or regular guests. The rooftop solarium with jacuzzi and barbecue, the private heated pool and the terraces provide outdoor living space oriented to the south, south-east and south-west. Parking for three cars is included within the urbanisation.
This is an existing home, completed in 2012 and described as key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. It is not a new-build project, so there is no construction phase or staged payment plan. The condition is listed as excellent, and the technical installations, including underfloor heating, air conditioning and a lift, are already in place.
The property is a semi-detached house rather than a detached villa, sharing a wall with a neighbouring residence. Beach access involves a 1.9 km journey on a gradient of about 7.4 per cent, which is steep on foot. There is no golf course within walking distance; the nearest is 3.2 km away. The swimming season, based on water temperature of at least 20°C, lasts about four months per year.

This property fits buyers in several recognisable situations. A family relocating to Marbella year-round would find five bedrooms, proximity to the British International School at 1.1 km, and access to 41 primary and 28 secondary schools in the area. Households that host guests frequently benefit from six bathrooms and the separation of levels, with lift access removing staircase barriers for older family members. Buyers seeking a secure base would value the gated urbanisation with 24-hour security and concierge service. Those who prioritise outdoor living can use the private heated pool, which extends the swimming season beyond the roughly four months when sea temperatures reach 20°C, and the rooftop solarium with jacuzzi and barbecue. Golf players are within 3.2 to 5.6 km of several courses, including Golf Los Naranjos, Aloha Golf Club and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas. Owners who travel frequently will note the 41 km distance to Málaga Airport. The property is less obvious for buyers who want to walk to the beach daily, given the steep 7.4 per cent gradient over 1.9 km, or for those seeking a detached villa with full plot separation. It suits a household that wants an established, move-in-ready home in a secured residential setting above Marbella rather than a project to build or renovate.
The house was completed in 2012 and is listed in excellent condition, with a technical specification that goes beyond standard coastal builds. Climate control is comprehensive: underfloor heating runs through the property, with additional underfloor heating in the bathrooms, alongside air conditioning for hot and cold operation, central heating and a fireplace. This combination allows year-round comfort across the winter months, when average temperatures drop to about 11°C, and the summer peak around 26°C. Interior images show a modern kitchen with an island and bar seating, and contemporary bathrooms with double sinks and walk-in showers. A lift serves every level of the multi-storey layout, an installation that is more commonly found in high-end villas and apartments than in semi-detached houses of this type. The property includes 799 m² of built area in total across its floors, of which 531 m² is living space, with terraces and a rooftop solarium adding substantial outdoor area. The solarium is equipped with a jacuzzi and a built-in barbecue. Outside, the private pool is heated, which extends its usable season. Parking for up to three cars is provided privately. The sea views from the terraces and upper floors are a structural feature of the south, south-east and south-west orientations rather than an incidental bonus. An electric vehicle charger is available 1.7 to 2.0 km away, including a Marbella Supercharger at 2.0 km.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €3,300,000 as an existing, key-ready home. There is no price list or range of unit types, as would be the case with a new-build development; the price applies to this specific house with its 531 m² of living space, five bedrooms, six bathrooms, private heated pool, rooftop solarium with jacuzzi, lift access and parking for up to three cars. Completed in 2012, the property is available for immediate occupation. For regional context, the immediate area records around 4,743 housing transactions per year, and the provincial median income is €16,450, which indicates that this segment operates well above the local mainstream market.
Daily life in this Sierra Blanca house is shaped by its hillside position above Marbella. Mornings can begin on a south-east oriented terrace, with sea views towards the coast; the rooftop solarium catches sun throughout the day and serves as an evening space with its jacuzzi and barbecue area. The layout over several floors, connected by a lift, separates sleeping quarters from living areas, which suits households that value privacy between generations or guests. Practical errands are straightforward: a supermarket sits 1.6 km away and a pharmacy 1.8 km, both a few minutes by car. The British International School lies 1.1 km from the property, one of 41 primary and 28 secondary schools in the wider area. Healthcare access includes five health centres, with the nearest hospital 2.1 km away. The climate supports outdoor use of the pool and terraces for much of the year, with average monthly temperatures ranging from 11°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season in the sea itself, at water temperatures of 20°C or above, runs roughly four months. A car is useful for beach trips and golf outings, the nearest course is 3.2 km away, but the urban setting with eleven public transport lines and fifty stops in the area means daily life is not entirely car-dependent. Evenings often revolve around the solarium or a short drive down to Marbella's restaurants and marina.
Sierra Blanca's residential setting combines proximity to Marbella's urban fabric with a degree of separation from its busier coastal zones. The area records around 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds in the wider tourism economy, but the hillside position keeps tourist traffic concentrated below. Within 2 km of the property there are six restaurants and two pharmacies, supporting daily convenience. For leisure, the Club de Tenis y Padel El Mirador lies 1.8 km away, a climbing facility at Rocódromo María Maestro 2.1 km, and the Polideportivo Paco Cantos sports centre 2.3 km. Public swimming is available at Supera Miraflores, 2.7 km away. Nature options include three viewpoints within 3.2 km, Cantera de la Legua, Mirador de los Gitanos and Mirador la Concha, plus forest areas nearby, reflecting the setting's description as close to forest. Public transport in the area consists of eleven lines and fifty stops, which covers local movement, though a car remains the practical choice for beach trips, golf and shopping. Local public holidays, 32 per year, regularly punctuate the calendar, and the urban environment means amenities such as the supermarket at 1.6 km are reachable on foot, albeit with the hillside gradient to consider on the return.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Sierra Blanca occupies the rising ground between Marbella's Golden Mile and the Puerto Banús area, one of the established premium residential zones of the Costa del Sol. Marbella town centre and its marinas lie 3 to 4 km downhill, while the golf valley of Nueva Andalucía starts roughly 3 km west. Along the coast, the position is roughly midway between Málaga city, 41 km to the north-east by air, and Gibraltar, 56 km to the south-west, which places it centrally within the western Costa del Sol. The area's housing market records around 4,743 transactions per year, reflecting an active but established market rather than a newly developing one.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. The nearest beach is Playa de Casablanca at 1.9 km, with Playa de la Fontanilla at 2.0 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 2.1 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 41 km away, and Gibraltar Airport about 56 km. Golf courses within reach include Golf Los Naranjos and The Range at 3.2 km, Aloha Golf Club at 3.9 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 4.8 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 5.6 km. Daily services are close: the supermarket at 1.6 km, pharmacy at 1.8 km and hospital at 2.1 km. Marbella's marinas, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen at 3.2 km, and Marina la Bajadilla and Puerto Pesquero at 4.3 km, sit within a short drive. A car is useful for most of these trips, particularly given the steep gradient down to the coast, but the eleven public transport lines and fifty stops in the area provide an alternative for town-bound journeys.

The property stands at 141 metres above sea level, which contributes both to the sea views and to the slope towards the coast, measured at roughly 7.4 per cent. The climate is Mediterranean with an annual average temperature of 18.0°C, monthly averages ranging from 11°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. This pattern allows year-round use of terraces and outdoor spaces, with the heated private pool extending swimming beyond the natural season. Sea swimming, at water temperatures of 20°C or above, is comfortable for about four months per year. The immediate environment includes forest areas, noted in the property's setting, and several viewpoints within 3 km offer walks into the foothills, including Mirador la Concha at 3.2 km, which looks towards Marbella's distinctive mountain backdrop. The elevation moderates summer heat slightly compared with the seafront and provides cooler evenings.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this Sierra Blanca property occupies the upper established segment, and its fixed price of €3,300,000 places it well above the regional new-build entry level. The comparable projects 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, serve an entirely different buyer profile: smaller units in eastern or western coastal towns, aimed at holiday-home or first-investment budgets. Those projects offer new construction and communal facilities, whereas this property offers an existing, completed house in 2012 with a substantially larger footprint of 531 m² of living space, private rather than communal amenities, and a location inside one of Marbella's recognised gated communities. The practical trade-offs are structural. A semi-detached house shares a party wall, which detached villas in the same price band do not, and this is worth weighing against the lift, the solarium and the security infrastructure that come with the Meisho Hills urbanisation. Locationally, Sierra Blanca sits closer to Marbella centre and the Golden Mile than Estepona or Torre del Mar comparables, at 1.9 km from the beach and 3.2 km from the first golf course, whereas the new-build alternatives trade that centrality for lower entry prices and modern energy standards. The local market context shows roughly 4,743 transactions per year in the area and a provincial median income of €16,450, underlining that demand at this price point is driven by international buyers rather than the domestic mainstream. Buyers comparing this property against new builds should also note that delivery is immediate, with no construction risk or staged payments, but also no opportunity to customise finishes.
