A detached villa of 295 m² on a flat 900 m² plot in the beachside community of Paraíso Barronal, El Paraiso, on Estepona East. The property offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a heated private pool, a two-car garage and a covered terrace facing south and west. Built in 1983 and maintained in good condition, it is available at a fixed asking price of €1,735,000. The villa is approximately 100 metres from the sea, with Playa Isdabe 1.3 km away as the crow flies and several golf courses within one kilometre. The asking price reflects the opportunity to modernise, although the home is fully functional in its current state.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in the urbanisation of Paraíso Barronal, El Paraiso, east of Estepona on the Costa del Sol. Playa Isdabe lies 1.3 km away as the crow flies, with the sea itself roughly 100 metres from the property. El Campanario Golf Course is 0.3 km away and El Paraíso Golf Club 1.0 km. Marbella is 14 km distant in a straight line.
The layout suits a household needing four bedrooms across two floors: two bedrooms sharing a bathroom on the ground floor, and upstairs a master suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, plus a guest bedroom with its own bathroom. Both upper bedrooms open onto open-air terraces. A two-car garage connects directly to the utility room and kitchen.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1983 and is key-ready, maintained in good condition by its current owners. Partial underfloor heating, air conditioning, a fireplace and a heated pool are installed. Any modernisation would be the buyer's own initiative; the price is set with that scope in mind.
The property has three bathrooms for four bedrooms, so not every bedroom has a private bathroom. Completed in 1983, the villa does not offer new-build specifications, and the asking price assumes potential refurbishment. No sea view is listed; views are of the garden. The plot is flat at low elevation, without panorama.

This villa fits a buyer who wants immediate occupancy with the option to renovate in stages. A household that needs four bedrooms but can accept that only two of them have en-suite access, the two ground-floor rooms share one bathroom, will find the layout workable. It suits buyers who prioritise proximity to the sea over panoramic views: the property is in a front-line beach complex with the water roughly 100 metres away, yet the listed views are of the garden rather than open water. Golf players benefit from El Campanario Golf Course at 0.3 km and El Paraíso Golf Club at 1.0 km. Families considering year-round residence have The International School of Estepona at 0.8 km and two health centres in the wider area. The villa is less suitable for buyers seeking a newly built home with current energy specifications, a sea view from the main living spaces, or a hillside setting; the plot is flat and low-lying at 25 m elevation. It also assumes car-based mobility: public transport exists locally, with six lines and 50 stops, but a household of this profile will typically rely on the two-car garage. Buyers approaching the property as an investment should note that the asking price already accounts for its unmodernised character, and value creation would depend on refurbishment.
The villa dates from 1983 and is documented as being in good condition and well maintained by its current owners. The specification list is concrete: air conditioning for both hot and cold air, a fireplace, partial underfloor heating in the living and dining room, and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. The pool is private and heated, extending the swimming season beyond the five months when sea temperatures exceed 20°C. Fitted wardrobes are present throughout, and a covered terrace runs directly off the living room. Interior imagery shows a modern kitchen with an island and garden view, a bedroom with patio access, and an entrance hall with marble stairs overlooking the dining area, indicating that parts of the interior have already been updated. The double-height entrance hall and the spacious proportions of the principal rooms are characteristic of villa construction from the early 1980s, with generous ceiling heights and larger plot coverage than newer builds typically allow. The two-car garage connects directly to the utility room and kitchen, a practical feature for daily use. Buyers should treat the 1983 construction date as relevant to the technical assessment: a survey covering electrics, plumbing, insulation and the pool installation is a standard step for a property of this age. No energy label or cadastral reference is reproduced here; these can be verified through the usual documentation. Overall, the property is presented as fully functional in its present state, with modernisation as an option rather than a requirement.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,735,000. As an existing home rather than a new-build development, there is no price list or unit variation; the figure applies to this single property with 295 m² of living space on a 900 m² plot, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a heated private pool and a two-car garage. The pricing explicitly reflects the opportunity to modernise: comparable villas in the area have been transformed into contemporary residences, and the cost of such works sits with the buyer. The home is habitable and maintained in good condition without renovation. For regional context, provincial housing transactions run at roughly 3,163 per year and the provincial median income is €16,450, indicating that property at this price point forms part of the upper segment of the local market.
Daily life at this villa is organised around its flat, planted garden and the covered terrace directly outside the living room, which provides shaded dining space overlooking the private pool. The south to west orientation means the terraces receive afternoon and evening sun, suitable for outdoor use across most of the day in the warmer months. The double-height entrance hall opens towards the living and dining room, which has partial underfloor heating, while the large kitchen adjoins a pantry and connects through to the utility room and the two-car garage, shortening the routine of unloading shopping and managing laundry. The ground floor carries two bedrooms and a shared bathroom, workable for guests, children or staff quarters. Upstairs, the master suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, and a second guest bedroom with its own bathroom, both open onto generous open-air terraces for sunbathing. The immediate community of Paraíso Barronal is beachside and residential, with 31 restaurants, four pharmacies, three banks and six cafés within 2 km, so everyday errands are largely local. The International School of Estepona sits 0.8 km away, and the wider Estepona area counts 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools. Marbella, 14 km as the crow flies, extends the options for shopping, dining and services. The setting is quiet rather than urban: an urbanisation of villas, close to the sea, with the commercial density of a town reached by car.
The immediate surroundings combine a residential beachside urbanisation with an unusually dense amenity base. Within 2 km there are 31 restaurants, 6 cafés, 4 pharmacies, 3 banks, a dentist and a school, a spread that covers most daily needs without leaving the area. For families staying longer term, The International School of Estepona lies 0.8 km away, and the wider municipality offers 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools plus two health centres. Recreation is close at hand: RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 0.9 km, El Campanario Golf Course at 0.3 km and El Paraíso Golf Club at 1.0 km. Beaches include Playa Isdabe at 1.3 km, Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km, all as the crow flies. Tourism infrastructure in the area, 24 hotels and roughly 6,900 beds, means the neighbourhood is busier in summer than in winter, a seasonal rhythm typical of the Costa del Sol. Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina is 6.6 km away for boat owners. Electric-vehicle drivers have Supercharger Estepona at 3.8 km and a Marbella Supercharger at 9.5 km. The area is navigable on a bicycle or on foot for local trips, but a car remains the practical mode for Marbella, Estepona town and the airports.
The map shows the villa's position in Paraíso Barronal, El Paraiso, just inland of the coastline east of Estepona. Note how the golf courses, beaches and the international school cluster within about one kilometre, while Marbella and Estepona form the two urban anchors of the area.

El Paraiso sits between Estepona and Marbella on the western Costa del Sol, in the belt of golf courses and established residential urbanisations east of Estepona town. Marbella, with roughly 148,000 inhabitants, is 14 km away as the crow flies; Estepona itself is closer; Málaga city and its airport lie 52-61 km to the east. Gibraltar airport is roughly 46 km to the west. This positions the villa in one of the coast's most established second-home corridors, equidistant from two service centres and within reach of both regional airports.
Access is primarily by car. Marbella lies 14 km away in a straight line, Estepona town closer still, and Málaga city 61 km as the crow flies. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar (GIB) at roughly 46 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at roughly 52 km straight-line, actual road distances are longer. Public transport consists of six lines with 50 stops in the area, workable for local trips but not a substitute for a car at household level; the villa's two-car garage covers that need. The beach at Playa Isdabe is 1.3 km away as the crow flies over a 1.4% gradient, effectively flat terrain for walking or cycling to the sea. Golf courses, the padel club, schools and supermarkets all sit within a short drive. Electric-vehicle charging is available at Supercharger Estepona, 3.8 km away, and in Marbella at 9.5 km.

The climate data points to a Mediterranean pattern: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coldest month to 26°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 19.2°C. The swimming season, when sea water holds at 20°C or above, lasts about five months, and the heated private pool can extend this comfortably on either side. The villa sits at 25 m above sea level on a completely flat plot, with a 1.4% gradient towards the beach: no stairs or slopes to negotiate in daily life, an advantage for older residents and for garden use. The lush vegetation on the plot reflects the coastal microclimate. Inland viewpoints such as Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.4 km) and Mirador del Tajo del Novio (4.9 km) offer walking destinations in the surrounding hills, contrasting with the flat coastal strip where the property lies. The low elevation means sea air and mild winters, and no frost risk of practical significance.

Three beaches sit within walking and short-driving distance: Playa Isdabe at 1.3 km, Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km, all measured as the crow flies. The property itself lies roughly 100 metres from the sea within a front-line beach complex, so shoreline walks are part of daily routine rather than a planned outing. Golf is the second pillar of local recreation, with El Campanario Golf Course 0.3 km away, practically around the corner, and El Paraíso Golf Club plus its clubhouse within about a kilometre. Racquet sports are covered by RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 0.9 km, with additional sports facilities at the Lower Pool (1.0 km) and Middle Pool (1.1 km) complexes. For water-based recreation beyond the beach, Puerto Deportivo José Banús lies 6.6 km away, offering moorings and marina services. Hiking and viewpoint walks are available slightly further inland. Together these options mean that most leisure activities are reachable within ten minutes by car or on foot.

Flat
Within the Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a distinct segment from current new-build offerings. Comparable developments listed in the wider region, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), sell apartments at entry-level price points. At a fixed €1,735,000, this property competes not with those units but with detached villas in established beachside urbanisations between Estepona and Marbella, where plot size, privacy and proximity to the sea carry the value. The 900 m² flat plot with a heated pool in a front-line beach complex is a configuration that new-build supply rarely reproduces at this location, as remaining coastal land tends to go to higher-density development. The trade-off is age: a 1983 villa carries 1983 infrastructure, and buyers comparing it against new construction should budget for modernisation even though the home is habitable now. Locationally, El Paraiso benefits from being inside the established golf corridor west of Marbella (14 km straight-line) with two golf courses within a kilometre, an international school at 0.8 km and two airports, Gibraltar and Málaga, at roughly 46 and 52 km respectively. Market activity in the province runs at about 3,163 transactions per year, and the area's tourism base of 24 hotels and nearly 6,900 beds supports a rental and resale market, though this specific villa's value rests primarily on its land and position rather than on holiday-let yield. Compared with hillside properties further inland, the flat, low-lying coastal setting trades views for walkability to the sea; compared with newer apartment developments, it trades contemporary specifications for space, plot and location.
