Private Detached Villa | Pool | Sea Views | 315 m² Plot | Projected Rental Return Approaching 10% | Sierra Blanca Country Club Just 5–7 minutes from Puerto Banús, Marbella's Golden Mile and some of the Costa del Sol's finest beaches, this charming detached villa presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most competitively priced private villas within the prestigious guard-gated Sierra Blanca Country Club. Surrounded by luxury detached homes, where neighbouring villas are currently marketed from approximately €999,000 to over €1.8 million, and premium residences in the area achieve values of up to €4 million, this property offers an exceptional entry point into one of Marbella's most desirable residential communities. Positioned on an elevated 315 m² private plot, the villa enjoys beautiful sea views, mature landscaped gardens over two levels, multiple sunny terraces and outstanding privacy. Unlike apartments and townhouses, this is a completely detached villa with no shared walls, offering true independent ownership, private outdoor living and long-term flexibility. The property features: Private swimming pool Sea views Private gated entrance Mature landscaped gardens Multiple terraces for year-round outdoor living Expansive covered carport and private driveway accommodating multiple vehicles, a boat or even a motorhome Excellent privacy within a secure guard-gated community These qualities are becoming increasingly difficult to find at this price point on the Costa del Sol. Inside, the home is presented in excellent move-in-ready condition, featuring a modernised kitchen, authentic Saltillo terracotta flooring and a bright open-plan living room where three elegant French doors open directly onto the gardens and private pool, creating seamless indoor-outdoor Mediterranean living. The property has also been enhanced with solar panels and benefits from an updated B-rated Energy Performance Certificate, providing improved energy efficiency, lower running costs and greater long-term sustainability. Future Enhancement Opportunities Beyond its immediate lifestyle appeal, the villa also offers exciting opportunities for future enhancement, subject to the relevant planning permissions and municipal approvals. Potential possibilities include: Creating a private guest suite or independent studio above the existing carport. Extending from the upper terrace to create additional accommodation. Expanding towards the pool terrace. Reconfiguring the layout to create additional bedrooms and a substantially larger luxury residence. The current building footprint occupies only part of the private plot, offering valuable long-term flexibility for buyers wishing to enhance the property over time. Investment & Sustainability The villa combines exceptional lifestyle appeal with compelling investment credentials. A professional short-term rental projection, independently reviewed by an experienced 5-star Airbnb Superhost, indicates an estimated gross annual rental return approaching 10% at the current asking price. The full rental projection is available to qualified purchasers. The property also benefits from an updated B-rated Energy Performance Certificate, following the installation of solar panels, helping reduce energy consumption and running costs while improving long-term efficiency. The current Sierra Blanca Country Club community statutes contain no specific prohibition on tourist licences or short-term holiday rentals, subject to buyers carrying out their own legal due diligence and complying with the applicable regulations. Outstanding Value Unlike many modern developments where buyers are simply purchasing internal square metres, this property offers the far greater value of independent ownership, a private plot, private pool, generous gardens, extensive private parking, sea views, strong projected rental performance and the opportunity to further enhance the home over time. It represents a fundamentally different market segment from apartments and townhouses, offering significantly greater privacy, flexibility and long-term value.
