Property Overview

Charming rustic villa with sea views and investment potential near Estepona

Scandinavian Marbella Homes proudly presents this unique rustic-style detached villa, originally built in the 1980s and located in an idyllic setting just 5 minutes from the coast and a short drive from Estepona town center.

This characterful home is surrounded by expansive natural landscapes, ensuring complete privacy and an authentic rural feel, while being close to all essential amenities. The property is located in an area where residential complexes will never be built, as planning regulations only allow one detached villa per plot, a rare and highly sought-after feature on the Costa del Sol. It offers the best of both worlds: proximity to the vibrant town of Estepona and the serenity of nature.
The villa sits on an elevated plot, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, open countryside, and surrounding hills — visible from the pool area, terraces, and various rooms throughout the home. A true haven for nature lovers, horse enthusiasts will also appreciate that there are several nearby equestrian centres within walking distance, where you can enjoy horseback riding through the scenic trails of the area.
The property features a clever internal layout that allows it to be divided into two separate living spaces by simply closing off one door in the main living room. Each part has its own independent entrance, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or rental opportunities. Additionally, there is a spacious 100 m² area on the lower level with its own private access — perfect for conversion into a self-contained guest apartment, studio, or rental unit.
This home is not only a beautiful residence but also an exceptional investment opportunity. With its generous land, there's potential for creative development such as glamping, boutique rural tourism, or further extensions, subject to local planning regulations.
The lush garden is a Mediterranean paradise, with mature fruit trees including orange, mandarin, lemon, fig, pomegranate, algarrobo (carob), and acebuche (wild olive), bringing both charm and seasonal produce to your doorstep.

Key Features:

Detached rustic villa with full privacy
Breathtaking sea and countryside views from elevated position
5 minutes to the beach, 10 minutes to Estepona centre
Surrounded by natural, protected land with no possibility of future dense development
Close to multiple horseback riding centres
