A renovation project on the beachside of Artola Baja

A built area of 151 square metres sits on a 589 square metre private plot at this resale property in Marbella East. Buyers looking at a 4 bedroom detached villa with garden in Artola will find an older structure distributed over two levels that requires a complete renovation. The house is sold as a basis for redesign, rather than a finished home ready for immediate occupation.

Four bedrooms and four bathrooms across two levels

Fitting four bedrooms and four bathrooms into 151 square metres of built area means the existing rooms are compact. A one-to-one ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms is practical when the house is full, as nobody waits for a shower, though it leaves less floor plate for hallways and storage. Because the structure is intended for a full overhaul, a buyer can rethink the internal partitions from scratch. Altering the layout or changing the external footprint will be subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The 589 square metre plot and upper solarium

With the two-level house taking up a modest footprint, the majority of the 589 square metre plot remains open garden. That ratio gives a decent buffer from the neighbouring boundaries without leaving so much land that gardening becomes a weekly chore. On the upper level, an elevated solarium looks out to the sea and over the surrounding pine forest. In a low-rise residential zone where pine canopies often screen the horizon from ground level, having an upper terrace is what secures the view of the water and gets the sun clear of the trees.

Setting and ongoing charges in Artola Baja

Artola Baja is the beachside section of Artola in Marbella East, placing this 4 bedroom detached villa with garden in Artola on the coastal side of the main road. Sandy beaches, a marina, restaurants and everyday shops are all within reach of the plot, while the surrounding pines keep the immediate road residential. Having a community structure in place means the surrounding urbanisation has shared administration, and the exact regulations on building works and boundary walls should be requested before making an offer.
