Villa Casares

Contemporary, high-quality villa located in La Duquesa, Manilva, offering privacy, space and open views. The property sits on a south-facing corner plot and features a landscaped garden with multiple terraces, an outdoor kitchen, a heated swimming pool and a gated private driveway.

The villa is accessed either via a private pedestrian entrance or through the gated driveway with parking for two cars. The ground floor is designed for everyday living and entertaining, with an open-plan living area filled with natural light from three sides. The modern kitchen is complemented by a large pantry and a guest toilet. Large sliding doors open directly onto the garden and terraces, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor flow. The heated pool is positioned centrally within the garden, with terraces on all sides. One side of the property features a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with grill and water point, while another offers a covered terrace with a comfortable seating area.

A striking staircase with a glass wall and mountain views leads to the first floor. This level comprises a landing with access to both bedrooms. The primary suite is located at the front of the house and enjoys stunning sea views. The bedroom has been enlarged by incorporating the former fourth bedroom, creating a generous space with an impressive walk-in wardrobe. The en-suite bathroom includes a large bathtub, walk-in shower, toilet, double washbasin and excellent natural light. The second bedroom is also spacious, with built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, washbasin and toilet. Both bedrooms have access to a large wraparound balcony with beautiful sea views.

The villa is currently arranged as a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home, but it can easily be converted into a three- or even four-bedroom property, with the possibility of adding an additional bathroom on the ground floor.

The plot measures 518 m² and has been optimised by extending terraces on each side of the villa to maximise usable outdoor space. The gated two-car driveway is located beneath the garden level, ensuring vehicles are safely parked out of sight and preserving uninterrupted views from the garden and terraces.

The location appeals to buyers seeking space, privacy and modern living without feeling isolated. La Duquesa marina, beaches and golf courses are all within easy reach, with quick access to Sotogrande, Estepona, Marbella and Gibraltar. The area offers an established residential setting with a low-density feel, as well as a wide selection of nearby supermarkets, shops and restaurants.

Additional features include high-quality finishes throughout, excellent sea views from the first-floor bedrooms and balcony, a heated outdoor pool, 18 solar panels resulting in very low running costs, an outdoor kitchen, private gated driveway with EV charging point, a corner plot with excellent privacy, and flexible layout options allowing for additional bedrooms and bathrooms. There is currently no valid LPO in place; the community is actively working to resolve this, with the expectation that it will be granted during 2026.
