A fan-shaped plot with utilities in place between two golf courses

Two 18-hole golf courses, Valle Romano and Azata, border this low-density neighbourhood west of Estepona town, each with a clubhouse, restaurant, bar, pro-shop and practice area. This 1,657 square metre residential plot in Valle Romano, Estepona sits between them and comes with water, electricity, sewage and street lighting already in place. Having the main infrastructure and utility connections on the street removes one of the main delays and uncertainties of a self-build project on the coast.

Shape, boundaries and orientation

The parcel widens from the road towards the rear boundary. The street frontage measures 32 metres, opening out to 52 metres at the garden side. That geometry leaves the widest section of the land at the garden side. Orientation runs from east to south-west, so the land receives morning sun on one side and holds the afternoon light on the other.

Build allowance and setbacks

Current parameters allow a 24% buildability, which translates to a built area of 398 square metres for a detached villa. The structure can rise to two levels plus a basement, with a maximum height of 7 metres measured from the street level. From the first floor, the elevation takes in partial views of the sea, the golf courses and the surrounding countryside. Planning rules require a minimum 3-metre setback from the street and 3 metres from each side boundary with the neighbouring plots. On a plot that is 32 to 52 metres wide, a 3-metre margin on either side still leaves a broad central footprint for the house itself.

Access and local facilities

The area is a growing residential district with modern road connections towards the coast and a hospital nearby. Supermarkets, restaurants, the beach, Estepona marina and the town centre are a short drive away, while the Finca Cortesin hotel, golf course and beach club lie 10 minutes away by car.
