A standalone house inside a resort compound

This property combines 222 square metres of built area with a 360 square metre plot. As a resale 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Selwo, it sits within the Parque Botánico Resort & Country Club on the New Golden Mile. Most properties inside full-facility resorts are apartments or townhouses, so a standalone house that has its own plot while still accessing shared sports and leisure amenities is an unusual arrangement.

Five bedrooms and four bathrooms

Having five bedrooms and four bathrooms within 222 square metres of built area dictates how the house functions. The ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms is high, meaning almost every sleeping area has dedicated or nearly dedicated washroom access, which prevents morning bottlenecks when the house is full. Because five bedrooms are fitted into this footprint, a buyer should look closely at the room dimensions during a viewing. You will want to see whether all five are true double rooms or if one or two are better suited as studies, single rooms, or storage, and how much of the built area is allocated to the main living and dining rooms.

The 360 square metre plot and private pool

The house stands on a 360 square metre private garden plot that includes its own small private pool and dedicated parking. A plot of this size around a 222 square metre footprint leaves a manageable perimeter of outdoor space rather than sprawling grounds. It gives you a private garden and water to cool off in without the maintenance demands of a large estate. For length swimming, the communal pools are available nearby, leaving the small pool at the house for quiet, private use right outside your door.

Shared facilities at Parque Botánico

Living in Parque Botánico Resort & Country Club means the infrastructure outside your boundary wall is extensive. It is a gated community with 24-hour security, which matters strongly to buyers who leave the property empty for parts of the year. Resident facilities include several outdoor communal pools and a heated indoor pool for the winter months. For racket sports and fitness, the community provides three padel courts, a tennis court, and a squash court, alongside a gym equipped with exercise machines, a sauna, and a Jacuzzi. Checking the community details is a sensible step before making an offer.

The Selwo setting and what to check

This 5 bedroom detached villa with private pool in Selwo is surrounded by forests, mountains, waterfalls, and natural trails, sitting inland from the coast while remaining close to the sea, golf courses, and restaurants. The country club setting brings quiet and direct access to nature, though it typically means using a car for daily errands and beach trips. When viewing, check the sun orientation of the private garden and small pool relative to the surrounding trees and hills, and verify the exact parking arrangement on the plot.
