Villa for sale in Marbella

Independent access to each floor sets La Merced 16 apart from a typical two-storey villa: the ground floor and the level below can function on their own, which matters in a house of 400 m2 built on a 928 m2 plot in La Merced, one of Marbella's quieter pockets between the town centre and the Golden Mile.

The main floor holds three bedrooms, a spacious independent kitchen, and a generous living-dining room with a dedicated office area. From here, the house opens onto a large terrace with the private pool and open views toward La Concha. Below, a fourth bedroom with its own bathroom sits beside a large open-plan area that could work as a guest apartment, a gym or a workspace, alongside a garage for two vehicles.

Solar panels reduce running costs, an alarm is installed, and the furniture is optional.

La Merced sits between Marbella's town centre and the Golden Mile, close enough to walk to the seafront promenade and to reach the old town on foot. Schools, supermarkets, pharmacies, a children's playground and restaurants are all nearby, and the beach is within easy walking distance.

A quiet residential address this close to both the beach and the old town is unusual in Marbella. What comes with it is the work: this is a house with character rather than a recent build, and the layout and plot already do the hard part: updating the finishes is what remains.
