Villa for sale in Rocio de Nagüeles

Sunset light and open sea views define the terrace of this five-bedroom villa in Rocío de Nagüeles, the residential enclave climbing the hillside above Marbella's Golden Mile.

Nagüeles 19 sits on a 1,500 m² plot with 397 m² built, oriented south-west, with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, four en suite, and a guest toilet. The open-plan living area is centred on a fireplace and opens directly onto the terrace, so the sea view and the evening light reach the sofa as much as the garden.

The kitchen combines a central island with high-end finishes and connects to the living room in the same open flow, meaning the practical side of the house does not feel separated from the space where people actually sit. Bedrooms are finished in neutral tones, giving the interiors a calm, unfussy character rather than a decorated one.

Outside, landscaped gardens surround a private pool with several seating areas positioned to catch the afternoon and evening sun. The running costs are unusually transparent for a villa this size: solar panels for energy, a greywater system that irrigates the garden, 12-hour security patrols and around 40 m² of unused buildable allowance for anyone who wants to extend. Community fees run to EUR 40 a month, IBI to EUR 2,256 a year and refuse collection to EUR 139.

Rocío de Nagüeles is quiet and largely residential, within driving distance of the Golden Mile's beaches, hotels and restaurants and Marbella's old town, and close to both the British International School of Marbella and Swan International School: one reason the area holds appeal with families.

The house is a renovation of an established Golden Mile property rather than a new build, so the layout and proportions carry the character of an older plot even where the finishes are current: worth knowing for buyers who specifically want new construction.
