Brief Description
This south-facing villa in Marbella combines generous living space, a large private plot, and a distinctly outdoor lifestyle: several covered terraces, a green garden, and a spacious pool are complemented by a panoramic rooftop solarium with sea and mountain views. The interiors feature a more traditional aesthetic; The living room has direct access to the terrace and sea views, but standard glazing predominates. The property is primarily attractive due to its rational parameters and location; potential for subjective improvement lies in a cosmetic upgrade of the interior.

Advantages
- Investment arbitrage: -~€2,950/m² compared to the area average—a rare opportunity to purchase a large home in a prestigious area significantly below market price.

- Current condition “excellent,” ready for occupancy; Upgrades can be made without interrupting use.
Disadvantages
- The interior and some furniture are traditional in style; cosmetic updates are needed to bring it into line with the modern premium segment.
- Some rooms have standard windows instead of full-width panoramic glazing, which limits the “wow” factor and sunlight.
- The kitchen and living room feel closer to “satisfactory,” which lowers the subjective score and marketability in the upper price range without updating.
Conclusion

Thanks to the outstanding price gap per m² and a strong exterior, the villa is already rationally attractive (9.2/10), and targeted interior upgrades could increase the subjective perception and market value.
