Andalucia, Malaga, Las Chapas, Spain

This spectacular villa for sale in Hacienda Las Chapas, Marbella East with panoramic sea views and tourist licence occupies an elevated double plot of 4,119 m², where mature tropical gardens, two independent guest houses and outstanding privacy define an estate of uncommon scale. Although just minutes from the coastline, the recently renovated seven-bedroom villa has the atmosphere of a private country residence.

Designed so that day-to-day living takes place almost entirely on one level, the main house is oriented towards the sea, with full-height sliding doors keeping the terraces, heated swimming pool and gardens constantly in view. Crisp contemporary finishes complement traditional Mediterranean architecture, while natural materials, marble flooring and a fireplace add warmth and character. Five spacious bedrooms are located within the main house, including an impressive principal suite with a generous dressing room and luxurious en-suite bathroom, while two detached guest houses provide additional accommodation for family, visitors or staff. Underfloor heating throughout, fibre optic internet, video entry, automatic irrigation and numerous further enhancements complete the specification.

The gardens have matured over decades into an integral part of the estate. More than fifty mature palm trees stand alongside ancient olive, lemon, banana and fig trees, while stone pathways connect established planting, water features and secluded seating areas. At the centre of the grounds, a heated 12 x 7 metre saltwater swimming pool and Jacuzzi occupy an exceptional position overlooking the Mediterranean. Adjacent to the pool, a substantial covered pavilion incorporates generous lounge seating, a dining area and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, creating a natural focal point for outdoor living and entertaining.

The villa reflects the character of the community in which it stands. Hacienda Las Chapas belongs to a generation of Marbella communities where land, privacy and mature landscaping took precedence over density. Spacious plots, established gardens and tree-lined avenues continue to define the neighbourhood, supported by 24-hour security and a location just minutes from beaches, beach clubs, golf courses, international schools and everyday amenities. Marbella town centre is approximately fifteen minutes away, while Puerto Banus, the wider coast and Málaga Airport are all within comfortable driving distance, placing one of the region’s most established residential addresses at the heart of the Costa del Sol.

The existing tourist licence provides the option of immediate premium holiday rentals, while the size of the double plot creates scope for future development, subject to the relevant planning permissions. Together, these attributes add an investment dimension to a property already distinguished by its scale, privacy and established setting.
