A rustic family house on a 1,345 m² plot with sea views

A private swimming pool, a lawn with a barbecue and a wooden gazebo sit within the 1,345 m² plot that surrounds this 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Manilva. The house stands in the centre of its grounds and has a 502 m² built area along with 62 m² of terrace space. Because the bedrooms, social rooms and a 252 m² basement are separated across three levels, the layout handles a large household without rooms having to serve double duty.

Ground floor living and the bedroom wing

The entrance hall splits the main level into two clear zones. To the left lie the independent kitchen—furnished, equipped and fitted with a spacious pantry—and the living-dining room with a fireplace. Both rooms open straight onto a covered terrace with sea views, which connects to an enclosed, glazed terrace used as a reading or games room. To the right of the hall is the bedroom wing. Having all five bedrooms on the ground floor is unusual in a house of this size and practical for anyone avoiding stairs. Two of these bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms, while a bathroom at the start of the corridor serves the rest of the floor. In total, the house has four full bathrooms.

Upper room and the 252 m² basement

Upstairs is a room of roughly 30 m², usable as a playroom or retreat, opening onto its own 20 m² terrace with views. Downstairs, the 252 m² basement takes the pressure off the main living areas. It holds a home cinema and an office, a multi-car garage with storage, a restroom, a laundry room with access to a covered terrace, an extra walk-in wardrobe for seasonal storage, and open space for a gym and games room. Heating and air conditioning run through the property alongside the living room fireplace.

How the plot and garden are arranged

Because the house sits centrally on the 1,345 m² plot, the outdoor areas wrap around it rather than gathering at one end. Alongside the private pool and sunbathing area, the grounds include the wooden gazebo, a lawn with a barbecue, dedicated exterior parking in addition to the basement garage, and a section set aside for a vegetable garden.

Location and paperwork to check

From the house it is less than five minutes by car to the beaches of Sabinillas, around ten minutes to Estepona, and a short drive to either La Duquesa or Sotogrande ports. For a buyer comparing a 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Manilva against coastal estates, the rural-style plot explains the extra space, which also brings one administrative point to verify: the SAFO regularization is currently in progress, so a buyer's lawyer should check its stage of completion with the town hall when viewing.
