Semi-detached Villa for sale in Istán, Málaga

Set within the Sierra de las Nieves National Park, this beautifully renovated home offers a rare combination of peace, natural surroundings and panoramic views across Istán Lake and the mountains, while Marbella’s Golden Mile and Puerto Banús are only minutes away by car.
The property is part of a small, private gated residential community surrounded by nature. Residents enjoy a communal swimming pool and children’s playground, while the home has its own private parking.
Originally designed as a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with an additional guest toilet, the property has been renovated throughout, including the replacement of windows and doors and the installation of a contemporary, high-end kitchen fitted with Bosch appliances.
The current owners have reconfigured the original bedroom layout to create a particularly spacious principal bedroom with extensive wardrobe space, as well as a dedicated home office. The property can easily be returned to its original three-bedroom configuration, giving future owners considerable flexibility.
At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan living space, where double-height ceilings create a wonderful sense of volume and light. The contemporary kitchen, dining area and living room flow naturally together, while large windows and glazed doors frame the surrounding landscape.
The southwest orientation makes the most of the afternoon and evening light, bringing the spectacular setting into the home. From the living room, doors open onto a generous wraparound terrace with several areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining. A dedicated barbecue area is ideal for outdoor meals, with the mountains and waters of Istán Lake as a backdrop.
The outdoor space continues on the bedroom level, where a large private garden can be accessed directly from the bedroom areas. Together with the upper terraces, it gives the property an unusually generous range of private outdoor spaces to enjoy throughout the day.
The setting is what truly distinguishes this home. With Istán Lake below, mountains stretching into the distance and the protected landscape of the Sierra de las Nieves National Park all around, the property offers a genuine sense of peace and escape—hard to find so close to Marbella.
Yet this is not an isolated country property. In normal driving conditions, Marbella’s Golden Mile is approximately 9 minutes away, Puerto Banús 10 minutes, the A-7 7 minutes and a major supermarket around 8 minutes. In the opposite direction, the traditional white village of Istán—with its narrow Andalusian streets, local restaurants and village atmosphere—is approximately 12 minutes away by car.
For buyers seeking easy access to Marbella and Puerto Banús, with open views, mountains, water and genuine tranquillity to return home to, this is a distinctive alternative to the more densely developed areas along the coast.
