Taylor Wimpey has launched a new housing project in Istan, with prices starting from €460,000 (before VAT), targeting buyers looking for a quieter alternative to nearby Marbella centro.
The development, set in the hills just above Marbella, will offer a collection of modern homes designed to blend into the natural surroundings of the Sierra de las Nieves.
Entry prices begin at €460,000 before IVA, positioning the project firmly in the mid-to-high end of the Costa del Sol market, but still below prime Marbella levels.
A Marbella estate agent told the Spanish Eye: ‘This is a great opportunity for a well-built home at a more affordable price for the Golden Triangle.
‘Taylor Wimpey is one of the most trusted developers in Spain, they are always built great and we never have any issues when it comes to sales.’
The homes boast mountain views, privacy, and nature all within a short drive of the coast.
Istan has increasingly become a hotspot for buyers who want space and scenery without losing access to Marbella’s beaches, restaurants and nightlife.
A growing inland trend
With prime coastal land becoming scarce, developers are pushing slightly inland and buyers are following.
Areas like Istan are benefiting from that shift, offering better value per square metre and a more tranquil lifestyle.
The project reflects a wider trend across the Costa del Sol, where international developers continue to back demand from foreign buyers, particularly those seeking second homes or relocation properties in southern Spain.
