Ground floor living with a 32 m² terrace in Los Cartujanos

Los Cartujanos is an established residential community in the Marbella area of Guadalmina Alta. Within this development sits a resale 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with private pool in Guadalmina Alta noted in search filters, though buyers should be aware the swimming pool here is actually shared by the community rather than exclusive to the unit. The property combines 104 m² of built area with ground-floor access and an active tourist licence.

The 32 m² terrace and what the community includes

Outdoor space defines how a ground-floor home works day to day. Here, a 32 m² private terrace adds nearly a third again to the size of the built footprint. That measurement gives enough room to set up both a dining table and separate seating without blocking the walkway between the rooms and the exterior. Beyond the private boundary, the community maintains communal gardens and a swimming pool. Because the grounds and the water are looked after by the community administration, an owner who locks up and leaves for months at a time does not have to hire private gardeners or pool maintenance contractors.

Built area, bedrooms and parking

Inside, the 104 m² built area is divided to include two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Having a second bathroom changes how the flat functions when four people stay at once, as neither bedroom has to share washing facilities with guests. For a two-bedroom layout on the coast, cracking the hundred-square-metre mark means you are not dealing with compact holiday-let proportions; there is room for full-size beds and proper storage. The property also comes with parking, taking away the daily friction of hunting for a street space during busy summer weeks.

The tourist licence and what to check on a viewing

A critical paperwork advantage here is that the flat holds an active tourist licence. With regional and community rules around short-term lets tightening across Andalusia, buying a home where the registration is already in place saves months of administrative waiting. Still, a buyer looking at this 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with private pool in Guadalmina Alta as a search match should ask to see the community statutes to confirm no recent votes restrict existing licences. When visiting in person, check where the parking space sits in relation to the front door, and look at how the 32 m² terrace meets the communal gardens to judge the level of privacy from passing neighbours.
