House in Marbella

House in Marbella: History and Developer’s Approach

​

The developer purchased the plot over 10 years ago and built a residential complex consisting of nine standalone houses. He lives in one of them, while two others are occupied by his family members.

​

Experience and Approach to Construction

I’ve known the developer for a long time and can confirm he’s been in the construction business for 40 years. He runs a small private company, personally investing in projects and overseeing every stage—from design to final finishes. He pays attention to detail:

• He carefully plans room layouts to maximize livability.

• He personally selects materials, appliances, electrical systems, plumbing, furniture, and features like elevators, pools, doors, windows, fittings, and blinds.

​

Quality and Results

All suppliers are reputable European companies. The result is a well-planned, meticulously constructed, and fully equipped home, perfect for living and relaxing in Marbella.

 

​

Value of the Property

​

Unique Location

The standout feature of this house is its location. Having lived in Marbella for 10 years and worked in real estate, I’m convinced this area ranks among the top three spots in the city. Demand here is consistently high, and property values will only increase, as there are almost no vacant plots left for development.

​

•  Beach and Promenade : The most beautiful and famous beach in Marbella is just 160 meters away— a 3-minute walk. Nearby is a promenade with restaurants, scenic nature, and luxury infrastructure.

•  Golden Mile : A prestigious district where billionaires from around the world live and vacation.

•  Puerto Banús : A 10-minute walk to an area with upscale amenities and entertainment. In the evening, you can stroll to a fine restaurant, enjoy dinner with family or friends, and savor the good life in Marbella.

•  City Center and Schools : The Marbella city center is a stone’s throw away, and top-tier prestigious schools are just a 5-minute drive—ideal for permanent residents.

​

Nature and Convenience

The house is surrounded by beauty: the sea on one side, mountains on the other, and flowers, greenery, and palm trees all around. At any moment, you can head to the beach to sunbathe, swim, or spend time with kids, who’ll love the family-friendly conditions.

​

Rental Income

This property isn’t just a comfortable home—it’s a smart investment. One of the houses in the complex is rented out:

• €12,000 per day;

• €20,000 per month.
  It’s a complex business, but our company can assist: we have a short-term rental department ready to consult or manage the process for you.

 

​

Project and Construction Quality

​

High Standards Throughout

This house stands out for its exceptional architecture and construction quality. The developer takes his work seriously, valuing his reputation, and it shows in every detail—even those you might not notice.

​

•  Parking : The house includes a spacious garage for 4+ cars—a rarity in Marbella.

•  Elevator : The developer installed a cutting-edge elevator from a European manufacturer. It’s energy-efficient, silent, and safe, with affordable maintenance handled by a reliable company.

•  Blinds : Wall-integrated blinds from a premium European brand move smoothly to shield from the sun, highlighting the focus on quality in even the smallest elements.

​

Quality in the Details

Every aspect of the house is thoughtfully designed and built to last—from visible features to hidden systems. Materials, fittings, and components you might not even think about are chosen for durability and comfort. This isn’t just a solid house—it’s crafted with care and professionalism.

 

​

House Layout

​

The house sits on a gated property with parking and is enclosed by a fence. The courtyard features a pool, barbecue area, and green lawn, making it an ideal spot for parties and family relaxation.

​

Courtyard and Pool

At first glance, the courtyard and pool might seem small, but this is a plus. Many villa owners in Marbella grow tired of maintaining large pools over time. For a family of 4–5, this setup is just right:

​

• A pool with a barbecue area;

• Space for sunbathing;

• A lawn for kids to play on.
  With the sea just a 3-minute walk away, a massive pool isn’t necessary.

​

Overall Layout

The house spans three floors plus a rooftop terrace accessible by elevator. The kitchen flows into a spacious living room with direct access to the pool and barbecue area. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows let in ample light and offer excellent soundproofing. Aluminum blinds close tightly, forming a secure barrier to protect the house when owners are away—a feature our friend José, the developer, showed me in person, impressing me with its strength and efficiency. The house includes four bedrooms, designed for comfort and convenience.

​

Safety

​

Prestigious and Peaceful Area

The Golden Mile is one of Marbella’s safest districts, home to wealthy and respectable residents:

• Locals are decent and well-mannered;

• Hotel guests are affluent and polite;

• Beachgoers are mostly locals and upscale visitors who behave courteously.

​

Security and Oversight

The area is well-protected:

• Police regularly patrol the streets;

• Private security firms maintain order.

​

Home Safety

The house meets top safety standards:

• The property is enclosed by an iron fence;

• The courtyard entry has an iron gate;

• The main door is sturdy, with Italian locks;

• Windows feature protective blinds;

• It’s equipped with an alarm system and video surveillance.
  There’s enough space to keep a guard dog if desired.

​

Conclusion

All this ensures the highest level of safety for residents.

 

​

Drawbacks: What Might Not Appeal?

​

Ongoing Construction

A few houses in the complex are still under construction, which can give a misleading impression of slight disorder. Some sensitive buyers might find this off-putting. I see it as a minor, temporary inconvenience—nothing compared to the huge advantages of the location and district quality.

Sense of Compactness

The house and its grounds might feel less spacious at first. Yes, that’s true, but everything is well-designed. In practice, it’s not an issue; over time, residents come to appreciate the benefits. Nothing feels missing or inconvenient. Compared to an apartment or townhouse, this home scores top marks for comfort and functionality.

 

Conclusion

​

Cost and Alternatives

For the same price, you could buy a larger, more spacious house elsewhere. But the real value here is the location. The Golden Mile and its walkable infrastructure outweigh everything:

• Sea and beach;

• Top cafes and restaurants;

• Shopping, parks, and prestigious schools.
  Add to that the superior quality of the house and its systems.

​

Investment Value

This is a smart investment that will only grow in value. The Golden Mile drives that growth. Even in 20 years, you could renovate the house, but its unbeatable location will remain a constant asset.
