Villa for Sale in Marbella Golden Mile, Marbella, Malaga

Villa Harmony stands in Marbella Hill Club, the mature, gated hillside above the Golden Mile that has held its reputation for privacy and quality for decades. This is a five bedroom Andalusian residence of 802 square metres on a south facing plot of 3,301 square metres, a scale of garden that is increasingly rare this close to the centre of Marbella, and the villa takes full advantage of it with long open views towards the Mediterranean.

The interiors carry the proportions of a classic Andalusian house brought up to contemporary standards. Living and dining rooms open into one another around a flow that works for large gatherings as easily as quiet evenings, and the kitchen is fitted to a standard consistent with the rest of the house. Five bedroom suites are served by six bathrooms, giving the principal suite and every guest room genuine independence. Throughout the house, warm materials, generous ceiling heights and windows placed to follow the southern light keep the atmosphere calm and bright rather than formal.

Outside, 421 square metres of terraces step out from the main living rooms towards the private pool and the established gardens that surround the house on all sides. The south orientation keeps the terraces in sun through the day, and the mature planting gives the outdoor rooms shade and privacy in equal measure. This is a garden to live in year round, with space for dining terraces, lawns and quiet corners that a newer plot simply cannot offer.

Marbella Hill Club itself is one of the Golden Mile's original prestige addresses, a controlled access community of large private plots on the lower slopes of La Concha, minutes above the beach clubs and hotels of the Golden Mile. The neighbourhood attracts owners who value discretion and permanence over fashion, and properties here change hands infrequently.

Villa Harmony suits a buyer looking for a principal family residence with real grounds, or a substantial second home within a few minutes of everything Marbella offers. The combination of plot size, orientation and address underpins its long term value:

Beach: 6 minutes
International schools: 10 minutes
Marbella centre: 7 minutes
Puerto Banus: 10 minutes
Malaga Airport: 45 minutes
Restaurants and shopping: 5 minutes
