Villa for sale in Atalaya-Isdabe, Estepona, Málaga

Everything on one floor, opening onto a garden of just over a thousand square metres. No stairs, no split levels. The living room, the kitchen and all three bedrooms sit on the same plan as the pool terrace, and the sliding walls of glass fold back until the distinction between the two stops meaning much.

The house was built in 2017 and is in excellent condition throughout. Its centre is a double-sided fireplace under a pyramid ceiling that rises well above the rest of the plan; around it the space divides itself into sitting, dining and kitchen without a single door. Underfloor heating runs throughout, air conditioning is central, and there are photovoltaic panels on the roof.

Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, all finished in the same dark slate and pale timber. The main bedroom opens directly onto the pool. The kitchen is separate and fully fitted, with windows on two sides looking into the hedge.

The setting is still and residential: a one-way street a short walk from the beach, with shops, restaurants, a supermarket and international schools all within walking distance. It is a house for living in year round rather than one for arriving at twice a summer.
