Villa for sale in El Velerin

Villa Karolina is a five-bedroom estate for sale in El Velerin, in the hills behind Estepona's New Golden Mile, standing on its own private plot of just under 100,000 m2 with views that run from the Sierra Bermeja across the Mediterranean to Gibraltar and the African coast.

The villa offers 1,070 m2 built, south-facing, and mixes classical architecture with modern comfort: Italian marble, oak detailing and a layout that opens the main living spaces straight onto covered terraces and the pool. The kitchen is fully equipped for both daily use and entertaining.

All five bedrooms are en-suite, and guest toilets and a separate guest apartment make hosting easy. A private gym, a garage for four cars, an alarm system, double glazing and automatic irrigation cover the practical side.

What sets this property apart is the land. The gardens include organic fruit and vegetable cultivation, and the sheer size of the plot gives a level of privacy that is hard to find this close to the coast. Beaches, golf at Estepona, El Paraiso and Los Flamingos, supermarkets and the Sublim beach club are all around ten minutes away by car, and Estepona town centre, Marbella and Gibraltar connect quickly via the AP-7.

Running costs: IBI is EUR 1,430 per year and rubbish tax EUR 185 per year; no community fee is published, which fits a standalone estate of this kind.

One practical note: the source listing quotes both 1,070 m2 and 1,150 m2 built; we have used the official 1,070 m2. And while the views are the point here, the access is a hillside drive, so this suits buyers who value privacy over walking to the beach.
