Mostly single-level living on a flat south-facing corner plot

El Pilar is an established residential area within El Paraiso on the Costa del Sol. Within this neighbourhood stands a 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool in El Paraiso, occupying a flat corner plot of 1,844 square metres. Because the house faces south and the ground is level, the garden receives sun throughout the day without the steep terraces or retaining walls common to hillside properties.

Day-to-day layout and reception rooms

The house has a built area of 388 square metres and an additional 89 square metres of terrace, with the majority of the rooms arranged on one level. At the centre of the layout is an open-plan living area with an open fireplace. This room leads directly onto a glass-enclosed terrace that looks out over the garden, allowing the space to be used in cooler months while keeping the view of the grounds. The kitchen and dining area also open directly to the outside, so moving meals outdoors is straightforward. Next to the kitchen sits a separate TV or snug room, alongside a utility room and a full bathroom, which gives the household a second sitting area away from the main room.

Five bedrooms split across two wings and an upper level

The sleeping quarters sit on the opposite side of the house from the kitchen and snug, separating the bedrooms from the busier parts of the home. The main suite has its own dressing area, an en-suite bathroom, and direct access to the terrace and garden. Three guest bedrooms sit on this same side of the house; two of them have en-suite bathrooms, and a separate guest bathroom serves the third. In total, the property has five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The fifth bedroom is the only room noted on the upper level, where its higher position gives it views towards the Mediterranean Sea.

The 1,844 m² plot, garden and parking

For a buyer considering a 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool in El Paraiso, the land here is the main distinction. An 1,844 square metre flat plot gives wide, usable lawn areas around the swimming pool, bordered by mature planting that is already grown in for privacy. The garden also includes a covered outdoor entertaining area under a Tiki hut, providing permanent shade beside the pool. Vehicle access currently consists of open private parking for one car, though the size and shape of the corner plot leave space to widen the driveway or build a private garage. A buyer viewing the property should also note that the house would benefit from exterior updating, meaning work is required on the outside of the building while the existing single-level layout and established garden remain in place.
