An 1850s country house in Los Reales with sea views and two land titles
Dating back to around 1850 and known locally as Casa de la Panzona, this restored finca is believed to be the original house in the Los Reales area above the coast. The 3 bedroom 2 bathroom detached villa with private pool in Estepona measures 180 m² of built area and looks out across the valley to the Mediterranean Sea. Unlike standard hillside developments, it sits within its own grounds with open valley and sea views and a 50 m² terrace running the full length of the house.
Ground floor reception rooms and the first bedroom
The front door opens directly into a living room with exposed wooden beams and a fireplace. Rather than a single open-plan box, the ground floor keeps its functions separate: the living room leads into a formal dining room and a fitted country-style kitchen. A stable door opens from this side of the house straight onto the 50 m² terrace, making it straightforward to carry food and dishes outside. A ground floor guest bedroom and a family bathroom sit on this same level, which suits visitors who prefer to avoid stairs or allows one floor to live independently when the upper level is not in use.
First floor bedrooms and the private study
Upstairs, the main bedroom takes up most of the footprint and includes a walk-in dressing room, an en-suite bathroom, and a private study area. Having a dedicated office space inside the principal suite gives a quiet place to work away from the main living rooms below. A second guest bedroom is also on the first floor. Because the second bathroom is downstairs, anyone sleeping in this upper guest room walks down to the ground floor to use the family bathroom, a layout point resulting from the 19th-century origins of the building that buyers should note before viewing.
The 2,000 m² fenced garden, heated pool, and extra land
The property is sold with two distinct pieces of land. Around the house, the main private garden of 2,000 m² is fully fenced and landscaped, which keeps dogs enclosed and reduces the area that requires regular watering and weeding. Within this fenced plot sits a heated private swimming pool facing down the valley towards the sea. Beyond the garden fence, a separate title adds 11,000 m² of rural land that is partially fenced and bordered along one side by a natural stream. This outer parcel acts as a wide buffer against neighbours in Los Reales without forcing the owner to maintain over a hectare of formal garden around this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom detached villa with private pool in Estepona.
How is the land around this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom detached villa with private pool in Estepona divided?
The immediate garden around the house measures approximately 2,000 m² and is landscaped and fully fenced. A separate title deeds an additional 11,000 m² of land that is partially fenced and runs down to a natural stream.
How are the bedrooms and bathrooms arranged across the two floors?
The ground floor contains one guest bedroom and a separate family bathroom. The first floor holds the main bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in dressing room, and a study area, alongside a second guest bedroom.
Can the swimming pool be used outside the summer months?
Yes, the private swimming pool is heated, allowing it to be used during the cooler months of the year. It is positioned within the 2,000 m² main garden facing the valley and the Mediterranean Sea.
How old is the building and where is it located?
The finca dates back to around 1850 and has since been restored. It is in the Los Reales area of Estepona, where it is known locally as Casa de la Panzona and is believed to be the original house in that valley.
What is the layout of the living and dining areas?
The entrance opens into a living room with exposed wooden beams and a fireplace, which connects to a separate formal dining room and a fitted country-style kitchen. A stable door leads directly out to a 50 m² terrace that runs the length of the house.
