A 2,485 square metre plot within walking distance of the beach
A 2,485 square metre plot is the defining feature of this 6 bedroom detached villa in El Pilar, El Paraiso, giving the house significantly more land than is usual for a residential neighbourhood where shops and the sea are reached on foot. The property has a 531 square metre built area and is a lived-in Spanish house that needs renovation. Buyers looking at this listing will be weighing the solid structure and the scale of the land against the work required to modernise it.
Rooms, current use and scope to reconfigure
The house is recorded with six bedrooms and two bathrooms. At present, four of those rooms are used as bedrooms while the other two serve as a home office and an artist's studio. Because the built area is 531 square metres, the rooms have generous proportions, and those two extra spaces can either remain as work rooms or return to use as bedrooms, a gym or a playroom. The ratio of two bathrooms to six bedrooms is the clearest sign of the home's era; any buyer planning a full modernisation will almost certainly look at reconfiguring the layout to add further bathrooms.
The plot, pool and outdoor buildings
Outside, the house has 157 square metres of terrace and an established garden with a private pool. Beside the pool sits a bodega and a barbecue area set up for outdoor dining. The 2,485 square metres of land provide substantial privacy and the physical space to reimagine the grounds, reconfigure the house or extend, subject to local planning permissions. On-site parking is also included on the plot.
El Pilar on foot and by car
El Pilar is an established residential part of the New Golden Mile where no car is needed for daily errands. The beach and its chiringuitos are around ten minutes on foot, and local shops, bars, restaurants and golf are also within walking distance of this 6 bedroom detached villa in El Pilar, El Paraiso. For wider errands and schooling, schools, Estepona town, San Pedro, Puerto Banús and Marbella are a short drive away.
How are the six bedrooms currently arranged in this 6 bedroom detached villa in El Pilar, El Paraiso?
Four of the rooms are used as standard bedrooms, while the remaining two are currently set up as an artist's studio and a home office. These two rooms can be converted back into bedrooms, a playroom or a gym depending on what the buyer needs.
What condition is the property in?
The house is a resale villa that has been lived in for years and is functional as it stands, but it needs a full modernisation. With 531 square metres of built area and only two bathrooms, most buyers will plan to update the services and reconfigure the layout.
How big is the plot and what is in the garden?
The plot measures 2,485 square metres and includes a garden, a private swimming pool, and 157 square metres of terrace. Beside the pool, there is also a bodega and a barbecue area.
Can you walk to the beach and local shops from the house?
Yes, the villa is within walking distance of shops, bars, restaurants and golf. The beach and its chiringuitos are around ten minutes away on foot, so a car is not required for day-to-day life.
Is there scope to alter or extend the building?
The 531 square metre built area sits on a 2,485 square metre plot, leaving room to reconfigure or extend the existing house. Any structural changes or extensions would need to be checked against local municipal planning rules.
6 Bedroom Detached Villa in El Pilar, El Paraiso
Property Description
A Rare Family Villa with Exceptional Potential — El Pilar, Estepona
Opportunities on this scale are increasingly hard to find in El Pilar. Set on a generous 2,404 m² plot in one of Estepona's most sought-after residential neighbourhoods, this traditional Spanish villa offers a substantial 688 m² of built space — a genuine family home today, with the size and scope to create something truly special tomorrow.
It has been a much-loved home for years, and it shows. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms are complemented by two further rooms currently used as an artist's studio and a home office — flexible space that could just as easily become additional bedrooms, a playroom or a gym, adapting to whatever a family needs. Outside, a private pool sits alongside a bodega and a barbecue and entertaining area — the setting for long lunches and easy evenings in the Andalusian sun. The layout is warm and characterful, with the generous proportions and solid bones that are hard to replicate, and it lives beautifully as it stands.
The real opportunity, though, is the scope to make it your own. The villa would benefit from a full modernisation, and the reward for doing so is considerable: 2,404 m² of land in a prime El Pilar position, with room to reimagine the home, extend or reconfigure. Few plots of this size and setting come to market here. Whether you are a family wanting to put down roots or a buyer with an eye on the potential, this is a rare and flexible canvas in a location that rarely disappoints.
Best of all, no car is needed. El Pilar is one of the New Golden Mile's most established, family-friendly neighbourhoods, and everything is within walking distance — the beach and the chiringuitos are around ten minutes on foot, with golf, bars, shops and restaurants all close by. Estepona town and San Pedro are a short drive, and Puerto Banús and Marbella within easy reach, alongside leading international schools.
This is a rare chance to secure space, position and potential in an area that holds its value.
