✨ Luxury 4-Bedroom Villa in El Rosario | Fully Renovated | Walking Distance to the Beach ✨ This stunning, fully renovated villa is located in El Rosario, one of Marbella East’s most desirable residential areas. Set on a 1,050 m² private plot, this spacious family home offers exceptional privacy, a prime location, and outstanding potential for future expansion.

Property Overview 4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms + 2 guest toilets Walking distance to the beach Fully renovated Private swimming pool Parking for up to 5 cars Fully double-glazed Large terraces & mature wrap-around gardens One of the best and most private locations in El Rosario Extension Potential: There is excellent potential to extend the property.

Layout Ground Floor A welcoming entrance hall leads into the heart of the home — a large modern kitchen, finished to a high standard and perfect for family living or entertaining. From here, the home flows into a big dining room with access to a charming terrace overlooking the gardens, offering the perfect setting for outdoor meals and relaxed evenings with friends and family. The main living room is expansive, beautifully bright, and features two sets of large double doors opening onto a stunning side terrace and the mature gardens, creating a peaceful and private oasis.

The master suite includes a luxurious dressing room and direct access to the swimming pool, a truly special feature. The gardens wrap elegantly around the villa with walkways, terraces, and mature landscaping. Upper Floor The upper level offers two further spacious bedrooms and a large bathroom. This area feels complete and luxurious as it is, but also presents excellent potential for layout changes or additional design. Solarium A staircase leads to the huge rooftop solarium, offering open views, sunshine all day and the perfect space for relaxation or a chill-out lounge. Exterior The villa enjoys beautiful wrap-around gardens, a private swimming pool, mature greenery and multiple terraces. A long private driveway offers parking for up to five vehicles. ✨ Why This Property Stands Out Large, private plot Turn-key condition Superb location within El Rosario Light, spacious interiors Excellent extension and development potential A perfect family home or investment opportunity A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated villa with space, privacy, character and room to grow — all within walking distance of the beach. A property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
