Compact country property for renovation close to town services

A living room, an equipped kitchen, two bedrooms and a single bathroom share the 48 square metres of built area in this 2 bedroom finca - cortijo in Marbella. Because the footprint is compact, every square metre has a clear role, and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms take care of storage without requiring bulky freestanding furniture.

Condition and scope of work

This is a resale home that needs renovation, although the kitchen arrives fully equipped and the bathroom has already been updated to a modern standard. A buyer taking on a 48 square metre structure has a manageable, self-contained project where budgets and timelines are easier to control than in a sprawling country house. When viewing, it makes sense to inspect the existing plumbing, wiring and roof structure to see exactly where the refurbishment work sits outside the bathroom and kitchen.

The 122 square metre plot and private terrace

Outside, the property sits on a 122 square metre plot and includes a 17 square metre private terrace. There is no swimming pool and no planted garden to maintain, which keeps both water consumption and ongoing upkeep low for a lock-up-and-leave owner. That 17 square metre terrace is large enough for an outdoor dining table and chairs, functioning as an extra room alongside the compact built area. Looking at how the plot boundaries are enclosed and how the remaining exterior space around the building is surfaced will show how best to use the rest of the land.

Surroundings and everyday practicalities

Unlike many rural properties that require a long drive for basic errands, this 2 bedroom finca - cortijo in Marbella sits close to daily amenities and schools. Golf courses, local ports and the sea are also within easy reach, giving a buyer independent land without cutting them off from the coast.
