Views to die for
Sierra Blanca enjoys an elevated position above Marbella and with this height come some of the most spectacular views in this part of the Costa del Sol. Panoramic vistas of the Mediterranean, Strait of Gibraltar and Africa beyond are a given in all properties in Sierra Blanca. And when you face north, you find the majestic outline of the eponymous mountains, that signature backdrop that Marbella is so famous for.
Like we said, views to die for.
Absolute peace and quiet
This reason to buy property in Sierra Blanca might come as a surprise given that the residential area is so close to Marbella. But despite being just 4km from the town centre, Sierra Blanca enjoys absolute tranquillity and all year round.
Many homeowners refer to it as an oasis of peace and quiet, not easy to find on the western Costa del Sol and so close to the centre of a resort. Much of the Sierra Blanca’s serenity comes from its natural surroundings – lush pine woods lie all around you. It’s also an area with a low-build density with gated entrances, both of which are factors that contribute to the all-pervading sense of peacefulness.
Like we said, absolute peace and quiet.
