Villa for sale in Golden Mile, Marbella, Málaga

Set within a peaceful and well-established residential area near Marbella town, this classic villa enjoys a privileged position on an exceptionally large plot of over 3,300 m², with open sea views and mature gardens that give the property a remarkable sense of privacy and space. Its location is one of its greatest advantages: quiet and residential, yet close enough to walk into town and easily reach shops, restaurants, schools and everyday services.

In addition to its charm as a family home, the property also represents a highly attractive investment and development opportunity. The plot is classified as consolidated urban land under UE-3 zoning, allowing a 30% buildability ratio and a minimum plot size of 800 m². Based on the current plot size of 3,350 m², the property offers a total buildability of approximately 1,005 m² and the potential for up to four villas subject to the relevant planning permissions.

This creates a range of highly attractive possibilities for a future owner, including the expansion and modernisation of the existing villa or the development of several new luxury villas within the plot. Given the size and configuration of the land, the lower section of the garden could accommodate an additional independent villa with its own private garden and access, while still preserving the privacy and character of the main house. The western side of the plot also offers further flexibility for wellness facilities, a guest pavilion, studio, gym, entertainment area or additional landscaped amenities.

Properties of this scale and zoning classification are increasingly rare so close to Marbella centre, particularly those combining mature gardens, open sea views and genuine redevelopment potential.

The property is accessed through a pretty entrance courtyard with abundant planting and ample parking, together with a large double garage. Once inside, the villa immediately reveals its main attraction: uninterrupted views towards the Mediterranean, visible from many of the rooms, including the kitchen.

The house has been built in a traditional style, with elegant proportions, high ceilings, marble floors and a graceful staircase that creates a bright and welcoming first impression. The main living room is spacious and comfortable, arranged with several areas for relaxing and entertaining, including a fireplace and direct access to a large covered terrace. This outdoor space is ideal for dining, sitting in the shade or enjoying the evening light with views across the garden and sea.

A separate dining room connects naturally with the kitchen, one of the most distinctive rooms in the home. Measuring close to 40 m², it combines character and practicality, with hand-painted Andalusian tiles, wooden beams, generous working space and views towards La Concha, the garden and the sea.

The ground floor also includes a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a guest toilet and a large additional room that could serve as a family room, gym, studio, games room or further accommodation.

Upstairs, the master suite features a walk-in wardrobe and private terrace. Two further en-suite bedrooms also enjoy their own terraces and sea views.

The garden is a rare asset, with lawns, mature trees, fruit trees, a swimming pool, former horse boxes and several distinct landscaped sections that offer flexibility for future use.

Built in the 1980s and exceptionally well maintained, the villa offers immediate comfort while also presenting considerable scope for modernisation and value enhancement. Opportunities of this scale and flexibility — combining sea views, walking distance to Marbella centre, privacy, mature grounds and substantial development potential — are increasingly rare in today’s market.
