3-Bed Detached Villa in Benamara, Costa del Sol — €1,050,000

A Villa by the Beach, with the Project to Grow – El Saladillo, Estepona

Two hundred and ten metres from the beach, in a quiet, established residential pocket of El Saladillo, with good access and services around it. What is for sale is the house as it stands, plus a building licence and a basic project for reform and extension. The idea is already drawn. The work is not done.

Today it is a detached house on a plot of about 600 m², with roughly 100 m² built, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Livable, modest, and close to the sand.

The project turns it into something else. A new floor, and much more space. On the ground floor, a double-height living room, an open kitchen opening onto the terrace, one or two bedrooms, an entrance hall and a guest WC. Upstairs, two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a dressing area in the master, and a terrace with sea views. A solarium, also looking at the sea, for a chill-out and a barbecue, with space set aside for photovoltaic panels. Outside, a garden with a heated pool and a thermal cover, so it can be used beyond summer, plus a barbecue area, an outdoor shower and two parking spaces.

The photographs show the property now. The renders show the intended result, and they are indicative.

The asking price does not include 21% VAT, as specified for the transfer of urban land by companies. The estimated cost of the works is about €400,000, and will move with finishes and final decisions.

A plot by the beach, with the paperwork already started, for someone who would rather shape the villa than buy one already finished.

Viewing highly recommended.
