Renovated 1989 house with hill views in La Mairena

The garden and terraces look straight out over the hills of La Mairena, giving this 4 bedroom detached villa in Monte Elviria, Elviria an open, panoramic outlook towards the mountains. Because the house sits up in the hills rather than down on the coast road, the outdoor spaces have privacy and wide views instead of neighbouring roofs. Private parking is included on the property.

Plot, terraces and the absence of a pool

Outdoor space here is divided between the garden and multiple sun-drenched terraces oriented for afternoon light and evening views. The listing records a garden and terraces, but no swimming pool is mentioned in the property data. For some buyers that means lower monthly maintenance and no pump gear to service; for others, a viewing will need to establish whether the plot gradients and local planning rules allow a pool to be added later, as the exact plot size is not stated in the specifications.

Inside the 239 m2 built area

Originally built in 1989 and fully updated, the house avoids the immediate refurbishment work that most late-eighties properties on the coast now require. The 239 m2 built area is arranged around an open-plan kitchen that connects directly to a separate dining area, keeping cooking and eating together without losing a dedicated table space. Large windows bring daylight into the main rooms, and there is a fireplace for the winter months when the hill air cools down after dark.

Four bedrooms share two bathrooms across the layout. That ratio is worth noting before you visit: a household using all four bedrooms full-time will share two bathrooms between them, whereas a couple using two rooms for guests or a study will find the balance straightforward. When viewing this 4 bedroom detached villa in Monte Elviria, Elviria, it is worth checking how the two bathrooms are positioned in relation to the bedrooms.

Living up in Monte Elviria

Monte Elviria sits in the hills of La Mairena above Marbella East, roughly 10 minutes by car from the beaches and the commercial centre of Elviria with its supermarkets and restaurants. Daily life here requires a car, though several specific institutions are close by in the hills itself: the German School (Deutsche Schule), the ECO Bilingual School, the Hofsaess Tennis Academy, local tennis clubs, and La Cala Golf Resort. It is a location that makes particular sense if the school run or the golf course is part of the weekly routine.
