Needless to say, its elevation means the house has commanding views over the surrounding countryside and the Mediterranean coastline below.

The ground level is completed by the master bedroom which is blessed with a large en suite bathroom. 2 more bedrooms are located on the lower level of the property, which share a shower room between them. A set of steps takes you down further to a storage basement area. *The remaining bedroom is located on the upper level of the house, with stairs leading further up to a rooftop solarium from which the views are quite simply what living in this part of Estepona is all about.* Outside, on the south-facing side of the property, is a large garden, a swimming pool and a covered terrace with plenty of room for an outdoor relax area and an ‘Al fresco' dining area.
