A 1,211 square metre plot and a full 2024 renovation

A plot of 1,211 square metres gives this house the kind of distance from its neighbours that newer coastal builds rarely have. This 4 bedroom detached villa with private pool in El Rosario was renovated in 2024, meaning the building work is already behind you and the 269 square metres of built area are ready for immediate use. Known as Villa Alora, the property combines the generous land size of an older residential area with modern finishes inside.

How the levels and rooms divide

The house has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, which removes the morning queue when the house is full. On the main level, the open-plan living areas and a modern kitchen with generous workspace sit together, stepping straight out to the terrace and outdoor dining area. Having the kitchen open to the main room suits a household that cooks and talks at the same time, though anyone who prefers shut doors between cooking smells and the sofa should note the layout. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite sits high enough to look out over the pool and the surrounding greenery. Downstairs, a separate level holds a second lounge and a dedicated office, which means someone working from home can close the door on the rest of the household, and older children can watch television without taking over the main sitting room.

The 1,211 square metre plot and pool

Because the built area is 269 square metres on a plot of over a thousand, most of the land remains outdoors. The private garden and swimming pool take sun throughout the day, and the terrace directly off the living area has space set aside for dining outside. A plot of this size gives genuine privacy and room to move around the house, though it also brings more garden maintenance than a compact patio plot. Private parking is included on the property.

El Rosario and what to check on a viewing

El Rosario sits on the eastern side of Marbella, within a short drive of the coast's beaches, golf courses and everyday shops. When viewing this 4 bedroom detached villa with private pool in El Rosario, it is worth asking for the 2024 renovation specifications to see whether the plumbing, wiring and pool plant were renewed alongside the visible surfaces. Walking the boundary of the 1,211 square metre plot will also show how the open views and privacy work from each corner of the garden.
