Mature gardens and open sea views on a double-sized hillside plot

A 2,525 square metre plot with a mature private garden and swimming pool defines this property before anyone steps inside. The grounds of this 6 bedroom detached villa in El Rosario hold multiple outdoor seating and dining areas, plus 44 square metres of terrace directly off the house. Because the plot sits on an elevated hillside 1.5 kilometres from the coastline, the garden and terraces look out to open sea views while keeping distance from neighbouring houses.

A 2,525 square metre plot and how it is used

Suburban plots in Marbella East are frequently half this size, meaning neighbours sit much closer to the boundary walls. Here, the 2,525 square metre ground area gives the house proper separation and privacy. The planting is established rather than newly laid, surrounding a large private pool and sun terraces. Vehicle access is handled by an extensive driveway and a spacious garage, so several cars can park on site without crowding the entrance. A plot of this scale requires regular gardening and pool maintenance, which a buyer will need to factor into the running of the house.

Living areas, utility rooms and the two-level layout

The house is arranged over two levels with a built area of 580 square metres. Rather than forcing all daytime activity into a single room, the reception space is divided functionally. The main living room has a fireplace and leads directly into the dining area, while a separate lounge with its own bar sits apart for evening use or when two groups want different rooms. The kitchen is fully equipped and supported by a dedicated laundry room and several utility rooms, keeping household machinery out of earshot. Direct access leads from the bright interior rooms straight onto the 44 square metres of terrace.

Six bedrooms, five bathrooms and upper-level views

With six bedrooms and five bathrooms in total, the house sleeps a large family or visiting guests without relying on sofa beds. The upper floor is dedicated to bedroom suites, separating the sleeping quarters from the living rooms and bar below. The principal accommodation is on this upper level and includes private bathrooms, dressing areas and open views towards the Mediterranean. Because there are five bathrooms for six bedrooms, almost every room has dedicated bathroom access, though a buyer should check on a viewing which two bedrooms share or whether one bathroom serves as a guest cloakroom.

El Rosario, the coast and road connections

El Rosario is an established residential area in Marbella East. From this hillside position, the Mediterranean coastline is 1.5 kilometres away, placing the beach within a short drive down the hill. Everyday shops, restaurants, golf courses, schools and the Royal Tennis Club are all nearby. For wider travel, Marbella centre is 10 minutes away by car, and Málaga International Airport takes around 30 minutes along the coastal highway.
