CASA BALATA
A Timeless Legacy:
An iconic building in the heart of Marbella’s Old Town with exceptonal investment potential.
Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac within one of the most desirable and sought-after areas of Marbella\'s Historic Old Town, this property offers a truly unique setting. Here, the tranquil silence perfectly blends with authentic Andalusian charm—characterized by picturesque streets of whitewashed houses, steps away from a vibrant array of local cafes and restaurants.
Held by the same prominent local family for generations, the building underwent a meticulous, top-tier reconstruction in 2016. By artfully preserving original structural elements, the property retains its invaluable cultural certification and soul, while offering the pinnacle of 21st-century luxury.
The residence stands out for its brightness and layout, featuring four spacious independent studios/ suites, thoughtfully designed to ensure maximum comfort and a relaxed lifestyle.
On the rooftop, we find the crowning jewel - the property transforms into a small, private oasis. Featuring a lounge area and a plunge pool, the terrace is perfectly designed to enjoy Andalucia’s exceptional climate and warm, balmy nights all year round. It also boasts rare, breathtaking views stretching across the mountains, the town, and the historic castle “La Alcazaba” (declared a Heritage Site of Cultural Interest in 1949).
This versatile property represents an ideal investment opportunity. It is perfectly suited for a boutique hotel, a charming aparthotel, or to serve as a luxurious primary or secondary residence for a large family seeking an unparalleled quality of life.
This house is much more than just a property; it is a piece of Marbella’s living history, tastefully blended with the modern construction technique and sophistication just by Marbella Castle.
