Mature wrap-around gardens and a retiled pool in Puerto Romano

Mature wrap-around gardens and a recently retiled private pool take up the majority of the 1,118 m² plot here. This 3 bedroom detached villa in El Padron sits within the Puerto Romano urbanisation and measures 202 m² built, giving a ratio of land to building that is increasingly rare in newer coastal developments. The house is a resale property with scope for alteration, rather than a newly finished turnkey build.

The 1,118 m² plot, pool and driveway

Because the house surrounds itself with established planting on all sides, the outdoor areas are already screened and private. Established greenery means a buyer does not have to wait ten years for boundary hedges to grow above eye level. The swimming pool has already had its tiling redone, removing one of the common maintenance jobs on an older villa. Inside the boundary, a private driveway takes up to three cars off the street, so visiting family or daily household cars do not need to sit on the urbanisation road.

Open-plan reception rooms and upper-floor bedrooms

The main living, dining and entertainment areas follow an open-plan layout with good natural light. All three bedrooms are on the top floor, which keeps the sleeping quarters entirely separate from the daytime reception rooms. That layout suits households where some people stay up late downstairs while others sleep, though it does mean climbing stairs to reach every bedroom. Across the house there are three bathrooms. The principal bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and steps out onto a private 17 m² terrace with open sea views. At 17 m², this upper terrace is sized for two loungers and a small table rather than large group dining, which belongs down in the garden.

The 20 m² basement and studio option

Below the main living areas sits a newly refurbished 20 m² basement. Right now it works as clean, dry storage or a multipurpose room away from the main house. However, the layout allows a structural change: knocking through a connecting wall to the front private porch would create a self-contained studio apartment with its own independent access. A buyer considering this conversion for guests or older relatives should check the wall construction and plumbing runs during a viewing.

Puerto Romano and access to Estepona

Puerto Romano is a quiet residential pocket of El Padron, set back from the coast road. From this 3 bedroom detached villa in El Padron, driving into central Estepona town, reaching the beach or joining the main coastal routes is straightforward, while the immediate surroundings remain residential and low-density.
