Two self-contained houses on one flat country plot in El Padrón

Two private swimming pools, 40 m2 of terrace and a flat 7,400 m2 plot define the outdoor setup here. This resale 6 bedroom finca - cortijo in Estepona is divided into two separate three-bedroom houses, each with its own entrance, garden and barbecue area. Having two fully independent homes allows two households to share the estate without sharing a front door, kitchen or pool.

The 7,400 m2 plot and outdoor layout

Country plots in the hills behind Estepona are often steep, which leaves much of the land unusable. Here the ground is completely flat, so every corner of the 7,400 m2 can be walked and worked easily. Mature fruit trees and an organic vegetable garden are already established, supported by several outdoor storage areas for tools and machinery. Because the estate faces south, both gardens and pools hold the sun through the day. Each house sits in its own section of the grounds with its own entrance and private pool, keeping the two sides visually and practically separate.

How the two houses are arranged

Total built area is 206 m2 across the estate, which works out at roughly 100 m2 per house. These are compact country homes rather than sprawling villas, where the rooms are proportioned for straightforward daily use and most time is spent outdoors. The first house has its own parking area, a covered porch, a living room with a fireplace, an open-plan kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom. The second house features a living room with a fireplace, an equipped kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a practical storage room. The authoritative specification lists three bathrooms in total across the property; a buyer viewing the estate should verify where the third bathroom sits, such as by one of the pools or within one of the houses.

El Padrón and driving times

Sitting in the El Padrón valley gives this 6 bedroom finca - cortijo in Estepona rural quiet without a long drive off the coast road. The beach and the Laguna Village area are 7 minutes away by car, while Estepona town centre takes 12 minutes. Marbella is a 20-minute drive, and Málaga Airport is 45 minutes. A buyer considering this 6 bedroom finca - cortijo in Estepona should check the water supply arrangements for the fruit trees and two pools, as well as the paperwork for all outbuildings on rustic land.
