Three floors and a self-contained ground-floor suite

Three hundred square metres of built area, 40 square metres of terrace and a listed plot of 150 square metres make up this 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Casares. The Spanish-style resale house is arranged over three levels and includes four bathrooms, a garden and private parking.

Ground floor living and the independent suite

The ground floor holds the main living room with a fireplace, an equipped kitchen and a guest toilet. Alongside the shared rooms on this level sits a private bedroom suite with its own living area and en-suite bathroom. Because it sits on the entry level and includes its own sitting room, it works as an almost independent apartment for visiting relatives or older family members who want to avoid stairs, without taking them out of the main house.

Plot size, pool and external utility rooms

A 300-square-metre house on a 150-square-metre plot is an unusual ratio. Either the plot figure records only the unbuilt garden and pool terrace rather than the total footprint, or the house occupies most of its land across three storeys; a buyer should check the cadastral plan at viewing to see how the boundaries sit. On the ground outside, leading straight from the main floor, there is a private swimming pool and an equipped outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, plus space for separate seating areas. Two separate exterior utility rooms are fitted out as a laundry area and a dedicated ironing space, which keeps washing machines, heat and laundry clutter out of the kitchen.

Upstairs bedrooms and the top floor

Three of the bedrooms sit on the first floor. Two of them share a full bathroom, while the third has an en-suite bathroom and a dressing room. Every bedroom on this middle level opens onto its own private terrace, giving each room direct light and outside air. Above the bedroom level, the top floor is given over to a leisure or activity space opening onto a large terrace with open views. Counting the ground-floor suite and the three first-floor rooms leaves the fifth bedroom of this 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Casares unaccounted for in the room-by-room notes, so worth checking on arrival is whether that top-floor room serves as the fifth bedroom.

Driving times from Casares

The property sits in Casares, at the western edge of the Málaga province where it meets Cádiz. By road it is 10 minutes from Sotogrande and 30 minutes from Marbella. Málaga Airport is a drive of one hour and 20 minutes along the coast.
