Charming South Facing Villa In El Higueral Marbella

Set within the established residential area of El Higueral, this charming Mediterranean-style villa combines timeless character, refined interiors and a peaceful setting with convenient access to Marbella. Positioned on an elevated 849 m² plot, the property enjoys open sea views from the upper level and benefits from a mature private garden, swimming pool and generous outdoor living areas.

Originally built in 1999 and comprehensively renovated in 2021, the villa offers 330 m² of built space across two levels, with interiors designed around comfort, natural light and a warm Mediterranean atmosphere. A landscaped entrance, framed by mature planting and flowers, leads into the welcoming hallway and sets the tone for the characterful interiors beyond.

The main living level features high ceilings and a spacious living and dining area centred around a fireplace. Large openings connect the interiors with the covered terrace and the mature gardens surrounding the private pool, creating a natural flow between the principal living spaces and the outdoors. A fully renovated and well-equipped kitchen provides a practical setting for everyday living, while the same floor also accommodates two en-suite bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with a hydromassage bathtub, while the second bedroom opens directly onto the terrace. A guest cloakroom completes this level.

Upstairs, two further en-suite bedrooms sit beneath attractive pitched ceilings that add warmth and character to the accommodation. Both bedrooms have access to a covered south-east-facing terrace, where elevated views extend towards the Mediterranean. The upper terrace provides a particularly peaceful setting for enjoying the surroundings throughout the day.

Outdoor living is an important part of the property. The private garden combines mature vegetation with the swimming pool and several areas for relaxing and entertaining. At the rear, a charming patio with a covered porch and pergola creates an intimate space for outdoor dining, morning coffee or relaxed gatherings with friends and family. The established landscaping gives the property a sense of privacy while maintaining a strong connection with the Mediterranean setting.

Modern comfort has been incorporated throughout the renovation, including underfloor heating, air conditioning and a home automation system. A private carport provides parking for two vehicles, while the absence of community fees offers additional practicality.

The villa is situated in a quiet residential environment while remaining close to the amenities of Marbella, with the town centre and Golden Mile within easy reach. This allows residents to enjoy the tranquillity of an established villa neighbourhood without sacrificing access to beaches, restaurants, international schools, shopping and Marbella’s wider lifestyle offering.

The property has also attracted recognition for its considered interiors and timeless decorative approach, having been featured as a holiday home in the summer 2023 edition of El Mueble. In addition, it holds a tourist licence, offering flexibility for owners considering both personal use and holiday rental.

With its south-facing orientation, mature private grounds, four en-suite bedrooms and proximity to central Marbella, this is a characterful home that combines the atmosphere of a traditional Mediterranean villa with the comfort and functionality of a more recent renovation.
