But this home, which has previously been on the market for £13 million (€15 million), has a unique piece of art hidden inside.
Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, who died in 1973, would regularly visit the home and signed the swimming pool giving it its artistic heritage.
The home will now be sold by Concierge Auctions without a reserve and bidding will open on May 29 and will go on until May 31.

Charlie Smith, European advisor for Concierge Auctions, said: “Beachfront properties are rare in this sought-after area of Southern Spain and beachfront villas offering this level of luxury living even more so.
"El Martinete is truly unique. The buyer of the villa will not just be purchasing one of the region's most prestigious properties, but also a one-of-kind piece of art, in the unusual feature of the swimming pool, signed by Pablo Picasso himself."
Puerto Banús is one of the most famous marinas in Europe and is home to a wide selection of restaurants, hotels and boutiques.
El Martinete also has two guesthouses which offer a further three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
