Mature grounds with two fish ponds and a ground-floor bedroom

Two stocked fish ponds sit within the garden of this 979 square metre plot, one holding koi and the other smaller fish, both currently looked after by a professional gardener. This 4 bedroom 4 bathroom detached villa with private pool in El Rosario is a resale property in an established residential part of Marbella. Inside, the house measures 230 square metres of built area, accompanied by 92 square metres of terrace and sea views.

Plot, terraces and the two ponds

The garden is already grown rather than newly planted, which gives immediate screening and green surroundings around the private swimming pool. Reaching the pool and the main terrace is straightforward because both open directly from the living and dining areas. Having 92 square metres of terrace across the property means there is room for outdoor dining tables and sun loungers without crowding the walkways. Buyers who do not live in Spain full-time should note that keeping two fish ponds healthy requires ongoing attention, so retaining the current gardener or a similar service is a practical necessity.

How the bedrooms and living areas are split

An open living and dining space forms the main shared room on the ground level, while the separate kitchen is large enough to include its own everyday breakfast area. Rather than putting all sleeping quarters on one floor, the layout places one bedroom and one bathroom on the ground level, which removes the obstacle of stairs for older relatives or guests. The remaining three bedrooms sit upstairs. Three of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and the fourth bathroom serves the rest of the household. Upstairs, the principal bedroom opens onto its own private terrace, which takes in the sea views.

Driveway, garage and storage

Coming through the entrance of this 4 bedroom 4 bathroom detached villa with private pool in El Rosario brings you onto a forecourt with surface parking for several cars. Alongside the open driveway, the plot includes a private enclosed garage and a large storage room. In a family house or a home used for part of the year, a separate storage room keeps tools, bicycles and pool equipment out of the garage so a vehicle can actually be parked inside.
