Property Description
West-facing living between the forest and the coast
A built area of 186 m² and 38 m² of terraces occupy a private 646 m² plot with a pool and garden. Comprehensively updated in 2018 to German building standards, this renovated 3 bedroom villa in El Rosario sits in the quiet gated community of Ricmar in east Marbella, looking out towards the garden, the pool and the surrounding forest.
Open-plan living and flexible upper-level rooms
The entrance level begins with a large open-plan kitchen fitted with Miele appliances. From here, the spacious living and dining area is arranged across a split level, centred on a fireplace and opening directly onto the terrace above the garden and pool. Two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are also located on this main floor, allowing guests or family members to live on a single level.

Coastal walks, golf and international schools
The immediate area lends itself to walking and cycling through the surrounding greenery, while the sandy beaches of Costabella are approximately 1.5 kilometres away via a flat walk.
