A flat 1,300 m² plot in the lower part of El Rosario

A 1,300 m² flat plot in the lower section of the urbanisation is what separates this property from the steeper hillside homes higher up in Marbella East. This 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool and garden in El Rosario has 464 m² of built area, four bathrooms and private parking. Built in a classical Italian style, the house is in good condition to use immediately while holding clear scope for a modernised interior.

Travertine marble and upper-floor reconfiguration

The house uses travertine marble throughout, giving a solid, traditional material base to the rooms. A buyer planning an update has a clear structural option on the upper floor, where two bedrooms can be combined into a single principal suite of roughly 80 to 90 m². Merging those two rooms would reduce the house from five bedrooms to four, which is a trade-off to weigh if the home needs to accommodate large family visits, though the resulting main suite would have direct access to two large private terraces. When viewing, a buyer with renovation plans should check the wall structure between these two upper rooms to see how straightforward that knock-through would be.

East and west terraces with sea and mountain views

Having both east-facing and west-facing terraces means the outdoor areas catch the morning sun on one side and hold the late afternoon light on the other. From these terraces, the sightlines take in both the sea and the peak of La Concha. Because the orientation splits across two directions, there is always a shaded terrace available during the hottest part of the day and a sunny spot when the weather is cooler.

The garden, the renovated pool and the plot

Because the 1,300 m² plot is level, the entire garden is usable on foot without having to navigate steps or retaining walls. The swimming pool has been recently renovated, removing one of the heavier maintenance tasks that often comes with buying a resale home of this size. Mature boundaries give the garden privacy from neighbouring houses, and there is an existing tree house for children set within the grounds.

Lower El Rosario and daily logistics

The house stands on a quiet street in the lower part of El Rosario, an area served by 24-hour security. Being at the bottom of the residential zone changes how the property works day to day: it is within walking distance of the local commercial centre, while restaurants and tennis facilities are also close by. Anyone living in this 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool and garden in El Rosario does not need to take the car out for basic errands, a morning coffee or a game of tennis, which is rarely the case for villas set further up the hillside.
