A standalone house with a shared pool right outside the garden

A flat 492 m2 private plot and 50 m2 of terrace wrap around this 3 bedroom detached villa in Atalaya, with the shared swimming pool of an eight-home community directly in front of the garden. The layout gives the separation of a detached house without the maintenance of a private pool, all within a fifteen-minute walk of the sea.

Plot, terraces and the eight-house community

The house sits within Monte Biarritz on a level, low-maintenance plot. Having the communal pool directly in front of the villa means stepping out of the private garden straight to the water, shared with only seven other residences. A covered terrace off the ground floor provides shade next to the lawn, while upstairs a wide solarium terrace adds an open-air space above the garden. For vehicles, there is a private carport for one to two cars on the plot, plus guest parking directly outside the community.

Two levels with high ceilings

The 196 m2 built area is arranged over two floors, with unusually high ceilings throughout both levels. Downstairs starts with an entrance hall that has a guest toilet and laundry area tucked off it, keeping the washing machines out of the kitchen. The kitchen itself is semi-open-plan, connecting to the living and dining room without putting every pan on display. A fireplace sits in the main room, and doors open straight out to the covered terrace and garden.

Upstairs bedrooms and heating

All three bedrooms and both full bathrooms are on the upper floor. The main bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and extensive wardrobe space. The two guest bedrooms share the second family bathroom, and both have direct access to the upper solarium. Unlike many Andalusian-style resales on this coast that rely on wall units, this 3 bedroom detached villa in Atalaya has underfloor heating throughout the entire house.

Walking times in Monte Biarritz

Daily errands from this part of East Estepona do not require a car. Local shops, cafés and restaurants are a 5-minute walk from the community, and the beach is less than 15 minutes on foot. When viewing, it is worth checking the privacy between the private garden and the communal pool area directly in front, as well as the controls and running setup for the whole-house underfloor heating.
