A second-line beach parcel with clear planning numbers

The sea is a short walk away. This residential plot in El Paraíso, El Paraiso lies on the beachside of the coast road in the Barronal sector of Estepona East, an established residential street made up of detached villas rather than apartment blocks.

What the planning parameters allow

The parcel measures 1,227 square metres and is zoned for a single detached house. Under the current urban planning rules, the land carries a buildability coefficient of 0.20 and a maximum plot occupancy of 25%. In practical terms, that occupancy cap allows a ground footprint of up to roughly 306 square metres, while the 0.20 buildability ratio governs the countable above-ground built area at around 245 square metres. Even at the full 25% footprint, more than 900 square metres of the parcel remains open ground for a garden and a private swimming pool.

Orientation and position in Barronal

The land faces south, so a house designed with its main rooms and pool terrace on the southern side will hold the sun from morning until late afternoon. Because this is a second-line beach plot, it avoids the direct exposure and public promenade footfall of the front line while keeping the shoreline within a few minutes on foot. Surrounding plots in El Paraíso Barronal are already built out with detached homes, which means the height and position of the neighbouring houses are known quantities rather than future surprises. Restaurants, golf courses, schools and the daily amenities of both Estepona and Marbella are reached quickly via the coast road.

What to establish when inspecting the land

Buying a resale residential plot in El Paraíso, El Paraiso requires a different checklist from buying a finished villa.
