Andalucia, Malaga, Elviria (Marbella), Spain

This private, spacious, large but homey, single-level family villa was refurbished some years ago to high standards and it is currently in great condition. The property has impressive high ceilings and large windows; the space flows smoothly indoors - peace and privacy are enjoyable outdoors. Views are lovely towards the lush countryside and greenery but from the master bedroom and the edge of the pool, there are some sea views too.

The private driveway leads to the large garage with direct access to the house. The main entrance opens to an impressive hallway with glass doors to access a massive living room with an open fully fitted kitchen. The outdoor area is surrounded by green and the blue sky of Elviria. It has a cool, partly covered terrace, manicured garden and a large swimming pool, ideal for entertaining family and friends. The villa has six bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a guest toilet.

The house offers many extras such as a second sitting lounge, automatic blinds in all windows, mosquito nets, a separate laundry area, hot and cold air conditioning, interior and exterior alarms and a large garage. It has a truly pleasant feel of living in a countryside cottage yet is only 5 minutes from all the local amenities of Elviria and its fine sandy beaches. This property will impress the most discerning client.

Along the Costa del Sol, Elviria is the place where peace and nature are still the leading players. Its beaches and dunes are of fine sand, forests and lush pinewoods surround the whole area, the Santa María Golf & Country Club leaves a green print with its ancient greens and beautiful fairways that climb up to the Mediterranean mountains, a land of cork oaks and centuries-old oaks. Nevertheless, such a variety of small shops, boutiques, bars, charming restaurants, medical centres, pharmacies, supermarkets and other services, hotels and beach clubs have been integrated here that Elviria raises the flag of an exclusive place. In contrast to other parts of the Costa, there is hardly any new construction activity in Elviria, the older properties are being refurbished, keeping value over time, although in the boom years of the real estate market, the better-located ones often far exceed their value.
