A courtyard layout on a large plot in Paraiso Medio

A central patio orders the whole floor plan here, creating a clear line of sight from the front door straight through to the kitchen and the back garden. This 4 bedroom detached villa with private pool in El Paraiso has been fully renovated to combine traditional Andalusian elements with modern lines. The house measures 262 square metres of built area, supplemented by 77 square metres of terrace, all sitting on a 1,410 square metre plot in the Paraiso Medio residential community between San Pedro and Estepona.

Living spaces, kitchen and workspaces

Instead of one big open room that tries to do everything, the living and working areas are separated. The lounge looks out to the back garden and includes a fireplace alongside a small desk area. From the lounge, you step into the open-plan kitchen and dining room, which serves as the main hub of the house. This space has high ceilings with wooden beams, a second fireplace, custom carpentry, and natural stone worktops, with direct doors out to the rear terrace. Off the far side of the kitchen sits a dedicated office area facing the garden, giving anyone working from home a proper room away from the bedrooms.

Four en-suite bedrooms across the wings

All four bedrooms come with their own en-suite bathrooms, and there is an additional guest toilet near the entrance. The left wing holds two guest bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a separate laundry room. Behind the kitchen, connecting back to the other side of the entrance hall, is the main bedroom with a dressing area; its en-suite bathroom has its own fireplace and looks back into the central patio. The fourth bedroom is an upstairs guest suite, which gives visiting family or older children separation from the three ground-floor bedrooms.

The 1,410 m2 plot, garden levels and parking

At 1,410 square metres, the plot gives this 4 bedroom detached villa with private pool in El Paraiso substantial breathing room from neighbouring houses in Paraiso Medio, a green neighbourhood that includes the El Paraiso Golf Club. An entrance gate opens to a private parking area with a parallel pedestrian path leading to the house. At the rear, the 77 square metres of terrace include a section covered by a pergola for shade. Beyond the swimming pool, the grounds drop down to a lower garden section with a pétanque court. When viewing, it is worth checking how the steps down to the lower garden work for daily use and where the sun hits the pergola in the late afternoon.
