This four-bedroom detached villa stands in the established El Paraiso area between Estepona and Benahavis on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 209 m² of living space on a 586 m² plot, with a private pool, a private garden and a south-easterly orientation. Built in 1980 and now key-ready, the villa is a fixed asking price of €1,395,000. Golf courses, beaches and an international school lie within a short radius, while Marbella sits roughly 14 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
El Paraiso is a residential area between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcantara, inland of the coastal road. El Campanario Golf Course lies about 300 metres away as the crow flies and El Paraiso Golf Club around 1 km. The nearest beach, Playa Isdabe, is 1.3 km away in a straight line, and the international school of Estepona is roughly 800 metres from the property.
The house provides four bedrooms, three bathrooms and 209 m² of living space, with additional living areas that can serve as a workspace or a quieter family room. Outside, a private pool, sun terraces and a landscaped garden form the daily living zone. A dedicated laundry area and built-in storage support practical year-round use rather than seasonal visits only.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1980 and is described as key-ready, meaning it can be occupied without further works. Any delivery date is indicative; in this case the property is available in its existing condition and buyers should verify the exact handover arrangements with the seller.
The property does not form part of a new development with communal facilities such as a gym or concierge. Built in 1980, the construction predates current building standards, and buyers should assess technical condition independently. There is no mention of sea views, underfloor heating or a garage in the available data, and plot size differs slightly between recorded figures.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol permanently will find the school equation favourable: The International School of Estepona lies roughly 800 metres away, and the wider area records 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools. Four bedrooms and a study-compatible extra living room give room for children and homework without crowding. Golf-oriented buyers are equally well served. Two golf courses within about a kilometre, plus a tennis and padel club at 0.9 km, place the core leisure infrastructure within walking or brief driving distance. A couple seeking a holiday home with genuine privacy may value the mature planting and the enclosed pool area, along with a swimming season of roughly five months at water temperatures of 20 degrees or above. Buyers wanting a brand-new building with developer warranties should look elsewhere - this house dates from 1980 and is sold in its existing condition. Likewise, anyone requiring sea views directly from the terrace will not find that confirmed here; the beach is a short distance away but not on the doorstep. The property suits those who prioritise an established, leafy neighbourhood and interior space over frontline coastal position, and who are prepared to have the 1980 construction technically surveyed as part of their due diligence.
The interior finish follows a contemporary, understated scheme. Soft neutral tones are combined with timber finishes and natural textures, while large-format glazing in the principal living areas draws in daylight and opens the rooms towards the pool terrace. The kitchen pairs white surfaces with wood cabinetry and a central island sized for informal dining; recessed lighting and integrated storage keep the visual language consistent. The bathrooms continue the same palette in stone tones, with built-in storage throughout the private areas of the house. Furnishings shown in the photographs are chosen to match the architecture rather than to add ornament. A dedicated laundry area separates the practical household functions from the living spaces. It should be noted that the house was completed in 1980. The available description indicates that interiors have been modernised to a contemporary standard, but the data does not specify the year of renovation, the state of the roof, installations, insulation or glazing performance. Buyers assessing long-term maintenance should commission an independent technical survey covering electrical wiring, plumbing and damp, particularly as the property predates current building regulations. The pool and terrace areas appear in good order in the images, though seasonal maintenance of an outdoor pool on a 586 m² plot should be factored into annual running costs.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,395,000 for the complete property: 209 m² of built living space, a 586 m² plot, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool and a private garden. As an existing home rather than a development with a price list, there is no range of unit types or from-price; the figure applies to this house as it stands. Key-ready status means no construction phase or staged payments are involved. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and should confirm annual running costs such as IBI and community fees, which are not stated in the available data.
El Paraiso is a long-established residential zone where daily life is organised around golf, gardens and short trips to the coast. This villa fits that pattern: it sits within a few hundred metres of El Campanario Golf Course, with El Paraiso Golf Club about a kilometre away, making the morning round a matter of minutes rather than a drive. The plot of 586 m² holds the house, a private pool, terraces and planted areas, with mature greenery around the boundaries providing screening from neighbours. The interior follows a restrained contemporary scheme: neutral tones, timber finishes, a kitchen with a central island and large-format glazing that connects the main living space to the pool area. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms accommodate a family or visiting guests, while the additional living rooms allow the layout to adapt - one as a study, one as a television room, or simply as a quiet retreat. A dedicated laundry area is a practical detail for permanent residence. The rhythm of the area is calm. Within 2 km there are 31 restaurants, six cafes, four pharmacies and three banks, so everyday errands do not require a car, though most residents use one. The beach at Playa Isdabe is 1.3 km away as the crow flies, an easy cycle or short drive, and the terrain is flat with a gradient of only 1.4 percent. The south-easterly orientation brings morning and midday sun onto the terraces, with shade later in the day - a pattern that suits breakfast outdoors and afternoon retreat to the poolside.
Daily life in El Paraiso is shaped by its position between Estepona and the Marbella municipality. Within a 2 km radius, the area counts 31 restaurants, six cafes, four pharmacies, three banks, a dentist and a school - a level of provision that covers most routine needs without leaving the neighbourhood. Healthcare is anchored by two health centres in the wider area. Transport links are reasonable for a residential zone: six public transport lines serve the area with 50 stops, which is unusual density for this stretch of coast. Still, the area is fundamentally car-oriented; most residents drive to the beach, larger supermarkets and evening destinations. The A-7 coastal road connects west to Estepona town and east towards San Pedro, Benahavis and Marbella, the latter roughly 14 km away as the crow flies. For electric vehicle owners, a Supercharger station in Estepona lies 3.8 km away in a straight line, with a second in Marbella at 9.5 km. Puerto Deportivo Jose Banus, at 6.6 km, provides marina facilities, dining and boat-related services. The area's tourism profile - 24 hotels and nearly 6,900 beds - means the neighbourhood is noticeably busier in July and August and quieter in the winter months, a seasonal rhythm typical of the western Costa del Sol.
The map shows the villa in its El Paraiso setting, between the A-7 coast road and the foothills behind. Note how the golf courses cluster immediately around the property, while the beaches form a line 1.3 to 1.7 km to the south. Marbella lies to the east and Estepona to the west - classic Costa del Sol geography.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
El Paraiso occupies a middle position on the New Golden Mile, the coastal strip between Estepona and Marbella that developed around golf courses and low-rise residential estates. Marbella, with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, is 14 km away as the crow flies and supplies the region's premium retail and dining. Estepona town lies to the west, Benahavis - the inland dining village - is a short drive inland, and Malaga city and its airport sit about 52 km to the east in a straight line. This positioning gives the villa access to both the quieter Estepona side and the Marbella side of the coast.
The villa's position places the practical essentials of Costa del Sol life within a compact radius. Playa Isdabe is 1.3 km away as the crow flies, with Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km offering alternative beach options. The gradient to the coast is a flat 1.4 percent, so walking or cycling to the sea is realistic. Golf is the closest amenity of all: El Campanario Golf Course sits about 300 metres away, El Paraiso Golf Club at 1 km and its clubhouse at 1.1 km. The RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club is 0.9 km distant. For schooling, The International School of Estepona lies roughly 800 metres from the property. Regional connections: Marbella (147,958 inhabitants) is 14 km away in a straight line, Algeciras 53 km, and Malaga city 61 km. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 46 km as the crow flies and Malaga-Costa del Sol about 52 km - both reachable by car, with driving times dependent on traffic. Six public transport lines with 50 stops give a fallback for journeys without a car, though frequencies are limited outside peak periods.

The climate data for this stretch of coast is consistent with the western Costa del Sol: average monthly temperatures range from 12 to 26 degrees, with an annual mean of 19.2 degrees. Winters are mild enough for year-round occupation, which matters for buyers deciding between a holiday home and a permanent residence. The swimming season - periods with sea water at 20 degrees or warmer - lasts about five months, roughly May through October. The property stands at 25 metres above sea level on flat terrain, with a 1.4 percent gradient towards the beach. There are no significant hills between the house and the coast, which simplifies both walking routes and the practicality of cycling. Rainfall in the region is concentrated in the cooler months; summers are dry and sunny. Natural escapes beyond the urbanised zone include two viewpoints within short reach: Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.4 km and Mirador del Tajo del Novio at 4.9 km, both offering walking destinations in the surrounding countryside. The Sierra Bermeja massif behind Estepona provides longer hiking routes for those who want them.

Three beaches sit within walking and cycling distance: Playa Isdabe at 1.3 km, Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km, all measured in a straight line. These are the chiringuito-and-sand beaches typical of the New Golden Mile, quieter than central Marbella strands in the shoulder seasons. Golf is the strongest recreational asset here. El Campanario Golf Course lies roughly 300 metres from the villa, El Paraiso Golf Club about 1 km away, and its clubhouse at 1.1 km functions as a social hub for the neighbourhood. RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club (0.9 km) covers racket sports, and padel in particular is a practical way into the local social circuit. On the property itself, the private pool and terraces carry most of the daily leisure load, with the flat 586 m² plot giving space for outdoor dining and lounging. Puerto Deportivo Jose Banus at 6.6 km adds marina-based recreation, from boat trips to waterfront dining, and the area's 24 hotels indicate a developed infrastructure of restaurants and leisure venues beyond the immediate neighbourhood.

At a fixed price of €1,395,000, this villa occupies a different segment from the new-build developments typically marketed on the Costa del Sol. Comparable projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) are apartment-led developments in the entry and mid-market, aimed largely at holiday and investment buyers. This property competes instead in the established-villa market of the New Golden Mile, where the product is land, privacy and maturity rather than brand-new construction. What the €1,395,000 buys here is a 586 m² plot with a 209 m² house, a private pool and a garden, in a neighbourhood where the golf-and-greenery infrastructure already exists. On a per-square-metre basis of built area, the price sits above the new-build apartment projects listed, which reflects the land component and the El Paraiso address rather than finishing levels. The trade-off is explicit: buyers get an established, leafy setting and immediate neighbours of similar character, but a 1980 construction without developer warranties. Locationally, El Paraiso sits between Estepona and Marbella, 14 km from the latter as the crow flies. This is quieter than central Marbella or Puerto Banus, with the tourism density - 24 hotels and roughly 6,900 beds - concentrated along the coastal strip rather than in the residential streets. Regional market activity is substantial, with 3,163 housing transactions per year recorded in the area, indicating liquid resale conditions for established villas. The median provincial income of €16,450 also contextualises the price level: this property is priced well above the regional median, positioning it in the upper segment of the local market. Buyers comparing it with new-build alternatives should weigh the immediate availability, plot and privacy against the technical certainty of a newly delivered apartment.
