South-facing garden and pool on an elevated ground floor

An 89 m² terrace and a 159 m² private plot with its own swimming pool sit directly in front of the living room. This 4 bedroom ground floor apartment with private pool in Marbella occupies an elevated position within Santa Clara Homes in Marbella East, facing south so the outdoor areas hold the sun throughout the day. Having both a private pool and a lawn changes how an apartment is used: you do not need to pack a bag to go down to a shared zone, yet the community maintains the wider grounds beyond your boundary.

The terrace and what the community includes

Part of the 89 m² terrace forms a covered porch off the main room, giving shade over an outdoor dining table when the midday sun is directly overhead. Beyond the private garden, residents share the facilities of a gated community with several communal swimming pools, landscaped gardens, a gym and a spa. A buyer should check how the maintenance of the private pool is handled and whether the community rules cover any of the external gardening, as running a private pool alongside communal spa facilities affects the ongoing responsibilities of the owner.

Built area, bedrooms and the basement

The total built area is 239 m², arranged around an open-plan living and dining room that leads straight out to the porch. There are four bedrooms and five bathrooms in total, which means every bedroom has its own bathroom plus one extra for guests, though it also means five rooms of plumbing to maintain. Because the kitchen, dining and sitting areas share one open space, there is no separate sitting room on the main level. Instead, a basement of approximately 64 m² provides that separation. It is large enough to serve as a second sitting room, a workspace or bulk storage, depending on whether you need living space or somewhere to keep equipment out of sight. A viewer should look at the natural light and ventilation in the basement to see which uses it suits best.

Heating, parking and storage

Comfort in the winter months is handled by underfloor heating throughout the property, a practical addition for a large ground-floor home where floor tiles can otherwise feel cold between November and March. In the underground garage, the apartment comes with two private parking spaces and one storage room. For a household filling four bedrooms, two car spaces are a necessity rather than a bonus in Marbella East, and the separate storeroom keeps bikes and golf bags out of the basement.

As a key-ready resale, this 4 bedroom ground floor apartment with private pool in Marbella can be occupied immediately without waiting for construction schedules. It suits someone who wants the outdoor footprint and basement space of a small house while keeping the lock-up security and shared facilities of an apartment block.
