Villa with renovation potential and south-facing garden in Estepona

Set within the well-established residential area of El Pilar in El Paraíso, this Andalucian-style villa presents a thoughtful renovation opportunity in a location valued for its balance of convenience and calm. Positioned on a generous 1,687 m² plot, the property offers privacy, a south-facing orientation, and the potential to evolve into a modern villa tailored to contemporary Mediterranean living on the Costa del Sol.

El Pilar is known for its easy, walkable lifestyle. A range of restaurants, cafés, a supermarket, gym, pharmacy and everyday services are all within a short stroll, while the beach is approximately 15 minutes on foot. Nearby golf courses, international schools, and the coastal hubs of Marbella and Estepona place this home in a prime location for both full-time living and seasonal use. The setting supports a relaxed rhythm of life, with access to beachside dining, wellness clubs, and local amenities close at hand.

The villa currently offers 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, all arranged across a single level, with a built size of 368 m². There is scope to extend by a further 200 m², creating flexibility to reimagine the layout with open-plan living, larger entertaining areas, and a stronger connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The existing structure provides a solid foundation for a contemporary design approach, whether maintaining elements of its traditional character or transitioning towards a more modern aesthetic.

Surrounded by mature, landscaped gardens, the home enjoys natural light throughout the day, enhanced by its south-facing position. Outdoor areas centre around a large private pool with an automatic cover and pre-installation for heating, offering a practical base for future upgrades such as a spa or wellness space. A rooftop terrace captures sea views alongside the outline of La Concha, adding an elevated perspective to the property’s setting.

Additional features include a two-car garage, solar panels with energy return to the grid, an automatic irrigation system, and a separate garden annex currently used as a bodega, along with an independent storage area. These elements contribute to both functionality and long-term sustainability.

This property lends itself to a lifestyle that blends indoor-outdoor living with everyday ease. Mornings can begin in the garden, afternoons extend naturally towards the pool and terraces, and evenings are shaped by the proximity to restaurants and the coast. With its scale, orientation, and location within an established community, it represents a considered investment opportunity—one that allows for personalisation while retaining strong long-term appeal on the Costa del Sol.
