Description
This detached villa occupies a private 315 m² plot within the secure, guard-gated Sierra Blanca Country Club in Istán, Málaga province, on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 260 m² of usable space, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, together with a private swimming pool, sea views and complete independence with no shared walls.
Set on an elevated plot, the villa is surrounded by mature landscaped gardens arranged over two levels. Several sunny terraces provide outdoor living areas, while a spacious covered carport, private driveway and gated entrance offer generous private parking. The driveway can accommodate multiple vehicles, a boat or even a motorhome. Views extend across the sea, mountains, pool and surrounding gardens.
Inside, the home is presented in excellent move-in-ready condition. It features a modernised kitchen, authentic Saltillo terracotta flooring and a bright open-plan living room. Three elegant French doors open directly onto the gardens and private pool, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the Mediterranean outdoor spaces.
Key features include:
- private swimming pool
- air conditioning
- fireplace
- solar panels
- several terraces, including a roof terrace
- mature landscaped gardens
- private gated entrance
- covered parking and private driveway
Following the installation of solar panels, the property benefits from an updated B-rated Energy Performance Certificate. This supports improved energy efficiency, lower running costs and greater long-term sustainability.
The existing layout occupies only part of the plot, leaving scope for future enhancement, subject to the relevant planning permissions and municipal approvals. Potential options include creating a guest suite or independent studio above the existing carport, extending from the upper terrace, expanding towards the pool terrace or reconfiguring the layout to add bedrooms.
A professional short-term rental projection, independently reviewed by an experienced five-star Airbnb Superhost, indicates an estimated gross annual rental return approaching 10%. The current Sierra Blanca Country Club statutes contain no specific prohibition on tourist licences or short-term holiday rentals, subject to applicable regulations and the buyer’s own legal due diligence.
