Detached villa in Marbella with sea views and a large plot

This detached villa in Marbella offers 475 m² of built space on a plot of 1,220 m², with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. It is built in natural stone, which gives it real character, and it is in good condition.

The house

The villa dates from the 1960s and was extended in 1999. The extension added a larger living room with a fireplace, an open-plan kitchen and a spacious terrace. The stone walls are insulated with cork, so two of the bedrooms stay cool in summer and warm in winter. The fireplace heats the living room and the upper floor as well.

Upstairs there is a large bedroom with its own bathroom and dressing room, plus a further room that works as an office or a second dressing room. Both rooms open onto a big terrace with sea views.

Garden and features

• Independent apartment at garden level, with a kitchen and en-suite bathroom
• Two storage rooms and a utility room
• Covered and private terraces, south orientation
• Mature, natural garden with fruit trees
• Room for a swimming pool
• Two parking areas that could be covered with a pergola

The property is sold unfurnished.

Location

The villa sits in a quiet spot surrounded by nature, yet close to shops, the town and the forest. By car it takes about 5 minutes to reach the centre of Marbella and a shopping centre, and about 10 minutes to reach the beach.

Who it suits

This home suits families who want plenty of space, or owners who would like a separate place for guests or relatives thanks to the independent apartment. It also works well for anyone who wants a garden and a calm setting while staying close to town.
