A compact refurbished house on a generous plot near Santa Maria Golf

The living and dining room sits under a cathedral ceiling alongside a fully fitted Schmidt kitchen, while the main bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and the remaining two bedrooms share a second bathroom. This 3 bedroom detached villa in Elviria puts a 96 m² built area onto a 640 m² plot inside the El Manantial community, pairing the independence of a detached house with shared facilities.

What the 96 square metres mean in practice

Ninety-six square metres across three bedrooms is a compact footprint for a detached house. The cathedral ceiling in the main room gives vertical volume where floor area is tight, preventing the central living and dining room from feeling boxed in. Because the house has been recently refurbished, the layout avoids wasted corridors and comes with a Schmidt kitchen and fitted wardrobes already in place. The property is sold part furnished and includes an alarm system as well as pre-installed air conditioning for both heating and cooling. A buyer viewing the house should check whether the air conditioning requires final unit installation or is already operational across all rooms.

The 640 m² plot and the El Manantial community

With 96 m² built and a 20 m² terrace, the building takes up only a fraction of its 640 m² land. That leaves substantial outdoor ground around the house with garden views and a south to southwest orientation, meaning the terrace and grounds take the sun from late morning until the end of the afternoon. Unusually for a property on this size of plot, the villa does not rely on a private pool; instead, residents use four communal swimming pools and maintained communal gardens. This setup suits an owner who wants surrounding land without the ongoing maintenance of a private pool plant. Parking is a mix of private parking and multiple spaces on the street.

Walking distances and road links from Elviria

From El Manantial, the 18-hole Santa Maria Golf Club—which has a clubhouse, a restaurant and a tennis court—is a short walk away. Shops, supermarkets, banks, bars and restaurants are also within walking distance. The agent notes that Elviria beach is reachable on foot or in five minutes by car; when viewing this 3 bedroom detached villa in Elviria, it is worth walking the route to the seafront yourself to judge the gradient and crossing points. By car, the centres of Marbella and Fuengirola are both 15 minutes away, Puerto Banús takes 20 minutes, and Malaga Airport is a 35-minute drive.
