South-west coastal views to Gibraltar and a layout split across two main levels

Panoramic sea views reach all the way to Gibraltar and the African coastline from this 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool in El Rosario. Built in 2016 on a quiet road above the urbanisation, the house has a built area of 503 m² and faces south and west, which means it holds the afternoon and evening sun rather than losing light after lunch.

Main level living and an independent kitchen

The primary reception space is arranged into distinct zones rather than one plain hall, with large glass doors opening directly onto the terrace and the coastal view. Unlike the standard open-plan layout found in most modern builds on this coast, the house has an independent kitchen and a separate dining room that can be closed off from the main living area. One guest bedroom with its own private bathroom also sits on this main level, useful for anyone who prefers to avoid stairs.

Four bedrooms and the laundry on the garden level

Four of the five bedrooms sit down on the garden level, which keeps the sleeping quarters separate from the main living spaces and typically cooler during the summer months. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom fitted with both a bathtub and a separate shower. A second guest bedroom on this level also has an en-suite bathroom, while the remaining two bedrooms share a family bathroom. All bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. Placing the dedicated laundry room on the garden level alongside four of the bedrooms is a sensible piece of planning, as it means bed linen and towels do not need to be carried up and down between floors.

A 1,000 m² plot and 185 m² of terrace

The villa stands on a 1,000 m² plot with a garden, a private pool and off-street parking for multiple cars. Outside space is split between the garden level and 185 m² of terrace, giving plenty of room for outdoor dining and seating without crowding the pool area. Because this 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool in El Rosario is oriented to the south and west, both the terraces and the garden receive strong light throughout the second half of the day.

Undeveloped basement, energy rating and surroundings

Below the living quarters lies a large undeveloped basement. A buyer looking to customize the space can explore adding windows for natural light and converting it to a gym, home office, or entertainment area. For climate control, the house runs a heat pump system and holds a Class C energy rating, a practical advantage for a detached house of over five hundred square metres. From the quiet road above El Rosario, daily amenities including shops, restaurants, schools and the beach are within easy reach.
