A Mediterranean-style detached villa of 1,050 m² on a 3,130 m² plot in the gated community of Sierra Blanca, on Marbella's Golden Mile. The property offers six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, sea and La Concha mountain views, a private pool and a four-car garage. Completed in 1996 and delivered key-ready, the house is fully furnished and equipped with underfloor heating on the main floor, integrated climate control and perimeter security. The asking price is fixed at €10,900,000. Sierra Blanca sits roughly 3 km from central Marbella and about 1.9 km from the nearest beach, as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Sierra Blanca is a gated residential community on the slopes above Marbella's Golden Mile, approximately 3 km from the town centre and about 50 km from Málaga as the crow flies. The villa occupies an elevated south-facing position at roughly 145 m above sea level, with views over the Mediterranean and the La Concha mountain. Access is controlled, with 24-hour security.
The layout serves a household that receives guests and staff: six bedrooms and ten bathrooms, two en-suite guest rooms on the main floor, a separate staff wing with two bedrooms and bathrooms, a gym, a bar and a four-car garage. Covered terraces, a private pool and mature gardens provide outdoor living space oriented towards the sea view.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1996 and is offered as an existing, key-ready home in good condition, fully furnished. Renovation or modernisation of systems and interiors remains the buyer's own decision; the delivery date is historical rather than indicative, and the current asking price is fixed.
The property is an existing 1996 villa, so it does not offer new-build warranties, contemporary energy performance documentation or a developer payment structure. The gradient to the beach is steep (about 7.6%), and the house lies in a gated hillside community, meaning daily life generally depends on private transport rather than walking to amenities.

This property matches a handful of specific situations. It suits a household that receives guests and staff regularly: the two en-suite guest rooms, the staff wing with separate access facilities and the security room are features that only matter at this scale of residence. It also fits buyers who want an established, furnished home without a construction or renovation phase, the villa can be occupied immediately after purchase. The elevated, gated setting with 24-hour security addresses privacy requirements that are difficult to achieve closer to the coast. Buyers who prefer to walk to the beach, restaurants or shops should note that the nearest beach lies about 1.9 km away as the crow flies, with a steep gradient of roughly 7.6%, so daily life runs through the car. Households wanting a new-build warranty, modern energy documentation or a developer payment plan will not find those here; this is a 1996 building sold in its existing condition. Finally, the property fits an international buyer base already familiar with the Golden Mile market, where transaction volumes and pricing operate at a different level from the wider provincial average.
The villa was built in 1996 in a Mediterranean style and is documented as being in good condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring, fitted wardrobes and double glazing throughout the habitable rooms. Technical installation is relatively comprehensive for its era: water-based underfloor heating on the main floor, an integrated climate control system in all habitable rooms, a 15,000-litre water storage tank, automatic garden irrigation, fibre optic connectivity and satellite television. Security is handled at two levels, perimeter CCTV around the plot and a perimeter alarm system for the residence itself, complemented by the community's 24-hour security staff and controlled access. The kitchen is fully fitted with a pantry and dining area; the house is sold fully furnished. Features such as the fireplace in the family lounge and the working fireplace in the basement bar date from the original construction. For a buyer, the practical implication is that major systems, heating, climate control, water storage, glazing, are present and integrated, but a 1996 building of this size warrants an independent technical survey to assess the remaining lifespan of installations and any refurbishment needs. No energy performance certificate data is included in the provided material, and construction warranties from a developer do not apply to an existing home of this age.
The villa is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €10,900,000, this is not a 'from' price and there is no price list or unit variation. The price reflects the property's characteristics: 1,050 m² of built area, a 3,130 m² plot, six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, staff accommodation, a four-car garage, a private pool and full furnishings. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs, community fees and annual property taxes, and should verify the technical condition of a 1996 building through an independent survey before committing.
Daily life in this villa is organised around its layered layout and its view. The main floor works as the public zone: an entrance hall, living room and separate dining room all open onto a covered terrace facing the sea, the garden and the pool, so interior and exterior flow into one another for most of the year. A family lounge with fireplace adjoins a large kitchen with dining area and pantry, together with two en-suite guest bedrooms and two guest toilets, enough separation to host visitors without disturbing private quarters. The first floor is reserved for sleeping: two further en-suite bedrooms, each with its own terrace, oriented towards quiet and privacy. The semi-basement is the service and leisure level, housing the four-car garage, storage areas, a staff wing with two bedrooms and bathrooms (one with its own kitchen), a bar with working fireplace, a gym with bathroom, laundry, technical room and a security staff room with private bathroom. The rhythm of the day follows the sun: south-facing terraces warm up in the morning, the pool and lawn fill the afternoon, and the elevated position keeps the sea horizon and La Concha in constant view. The immediate setting is a guarded residential enclave with little through traffic, while Marbella's centre, with its restaurants, shops and marinas, lies roughly 3 km away by road. Out-of-season months are quiet, as the community is primarily residential rather than tourist-driven.
The immediate environment is the gated community of Sierra Blanca itself: controlled access, 24-hour security and a residential character with gardens and hillside roads. Within 2 km of the property there are seven restaurants and two pharmacies, which covers basic daily needs but not full-scale shopping, most residents drive into Marbella centre, roughly 3 km away, for that. Education options in the wider area are extensive, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools recorded, including the British International School just 1.1 km away, which matters for families relocating internationally. Healthcare is served by five health centres in the area. For sport and leisure, the Club de Tenis y Padel El Mirador lies 1.8 km away, a public sports centre 2.2 km, and a swimming pool complex 2.7 km. Public transport exists, 11 lines with 50 stops, but given the hillside gated setting and the steep gradient to the coast, practical mobility here is car-based. The nearest beaches, Playa de Casablanca at 1.9 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 2.1 km, are short drives rather than walks. Tourism infrastructure in the region is substantial (48 hotels, over 12,600 beds), but the community itself remains residential year-round.
The map shows the villa's elevated position between Marbella's coastline and the La Concha mountain. The nearest beach lies 1.9 km away as the crow flies downhill, Marbella centre 3 km, and the golf courses of the Golden Mile within a 3 to 6 km radius, a compact but vertically varied setting that defines daily life here.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Sierra Blanca positions the villa between two reference points: Marbella's Golden Mile below it and the mountain slopes of the same name above it. Marbella, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, is the nearest town at 3 km and provides the full urban context. Málaga, the provincial capital with about 579,000 inhabitants, lies 50 km to the north-east, and Algeciras 64 km to the south-west near Gibraltar. Within the Costa del Sol, the address belongs to the established high-end segment centred on Marbella, distinct both from the apartment-dense tourist strips and from the newer value developments further east and west along the coast.
Distances in this section are straight-line. The nearest beach, Playa de Casablanca, lies 1.9 km away, with a steep gradient of about 7.6% between house and coast; road distances are longer. Marbella centre is 3 km away, and its marinas, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen at 3.2 km and Marina la Bajadilla at 4.2 km, are reachable within a short drive. Golf courses cluster within a 3 to 6 km radius: The Range at 3.3 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 4.8 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 5.6 km. Málaga city lies 50 km away, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport approximately 41 km as the crow flies, which in practice means a drive of roughly three-quarters of an hour depending on traffic on the A-7/AP-7. Gibraltar Airport is about 56 km straight-line to the south. An electric vehicle charging point, the Marbella Supercharger, is 2.0 km away. Public transport covers 11 lines and 50 stops in the area, but the car remains the primary means of transport for this hillside address.

The climate data indicates an average annual temperature of 18.0°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months. The villa sits at 145 m elevation on the lower slopes of the Sierra Blanca, which explains both the panoramic views and the steep gradient towards the coast. The elevated position typically brings slightly cooler evenings than the seafront in summer. Nature options nearby include viewpoints at Cantera de la Legua (2.8 km), Mirador de los Gitanos (2.9 km) and Mirador la Concha (3.3 km), the latter looking onto the mountain that dominates the villa's backdrop. With 32 local public holidays per year in the municipality, the cultural calendar is dense, and the Mediterranean climate makes outdoor use of terraces, pool and garden feasible for most of the year. The south-facing orientation of the property maximises sun exposure on the main terraces.

The beaches closest to the villa are Playa de Casablanca at 1.9 km and Playa de Nagüeles at 2.1 km straight-line, both part of the Marbella town coastline reached by a short drive down the hillside. Playa de la Bajadilla lies 4.0 km away, next to the fishing port at 4.3 km. The area's golf offering is a defining feature of this stretch of coast: The Range golf lessons facility at 3.3 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 4.8 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 5.6 km all fall within a few minutes' drive. For racket sports, Club de Tenis y Padel El Mirador is 1.8 km away. Swimming outside the four-month sea season is possible at the Supera Miraflores pool complex, 2.7 km from the house, and the villa's own private pool covers daily use regardless. The region's tourism infrastructure, 48 hotels and roughly 12,600 beds, supports a full calendar of restaurants and services in high season, while the villa's own bar, gym and gardens provide recreation on site without leaving the plot.

Steep
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies the top segment, and the comparable projects listed elsewhere on this site illustrate the spread clearly. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) represent new-build apartment living at price points roughly thirty to fifty times below this villa's fixed €10,900,000 asking price. The comparison is instructive rather than direct: those projects sell units off-plan in denser coastal developments, while this property is a single, completed 1996 residence in one of Marbella's guarded hillside communities. The regional transaction data, about 4,399 housing transactions per year and a provincial median income of €16,450, describes a market in which a villa at this price level represents a small fraction of total activity, concentrated among international buyers. Locationally, Sierra Blanca sits closer to Marbella centre (3 km) than Estepona or Torre del Mar do to their nearest urban hubs of comparable weight, and considerably closer to the golf cluster of the Golden Mile (all courses within 3.3 to 5.6 km). Accessibility to Málaga Airport (about 41 km straight-line) is comparable to Mijas and better than Estepona or Torre del Mar. What the address trades for this position is flat access to the sea: the 7.6% gradient and 1.9 km distance to Playa de Casablanca make the coast a drive rather than a stroll, whereas the coastal apartment projects sit within walking distance of their beaches. Buyers comparing across these options are effectively weighing hillside privacy, space and view against coastal proximity and new-build specification.
