Positioned on the second line of the beach in El Paraíso Barronal, Casa Solymar is a 7,416-square-meter coastal landholding whose value extends well beyond the existing residence. The estate supports three clear strategies: renovating and modernizing the current property into a high-end contemporary home, demolishing it to create an entirely new private villa, or exploring the subdivision of the plot into up to seven individual villa plots, subject to planning approvals.
Plots of this scale have become increasingly scarce along the coastline between Marbella and Estepona, making Casa Solymar particularly relevant to developers, family offices, and long-term investors seeking a rare foundation in one of the Costa del Sol’s most established enclaves.
Listed at €13,500,000, the estate is represented by Joyrney Real Estate, a boutique agency based in La Heredia, Benahavís. The firm specializes in exclusive homes across the Costa del Sol, combining personal service and honest expertise to guide international buyers and sellers through every stage of the process.
Three Strategies for a Rare Coastal Asset
The flexibility of the land is central to Casa Solymar’s appeal, allowing the estate to be positioned according to each buyer’s objectives, timeline, and investment profile.
Renovate or Rebuild: A Contemporary Private Residence
For private investors, the existing estate offers a strong basis for transformation into a modern turnkey residence, a product in high demand across the Costa del Sol. The current home spans 1,070 square meters with six bedrooms and six bathrooms, and an additional 500 square meters of build potential provides scope to expand, reconfigure, or fully reposition the property.
Alternatively, the plot’s size and setting allow for the demolition of the existing structures and the creation of a completely new private villa, designed from the ground up as a legacy residence on one of the area’s largest remaining parcels.
Subdivision: Up to Seven Individual Villa Plots
For developers, the most compelling route may be subdivision. A redevelopment study has already been completed, outlining the potential to divide the land into up to seven individual villa plots, subject to planning approval. With premium development sites along this stretch of coastline in short supply, a landholding of approximately 7,416 square meters in El Paraíso Barronal represents an increasingly rare opportunity.
A full development and planning report detailing the possibilities and restrictions of the site is available to serious investors and developers on request from Joyrney Real Estate. The existing residence also offers flexibility during the planning process, allowing the estate to be enjoyed or occupied while development plans progress.
Existing Value and a Prime Location
Beyond its development potential, Casa Solymar benefits from substantial infrastructure already in place, as well as a setting that continues to attract international demand.
An Established Estate as a Foundation
The grounds already function as a private resort, with mature gardens that have taken decades to flourish, a 25-by-10-meter swimming pool, a floodlit tennis court, and an African-inspired outdoor lodge set among the trees. A covered outdoor kitchen, barbecue pavilion, and outdoor bar complete the entertaining spaces, while fruit trees are maintained by an automatic irrigation system supplied by two legal private wells.
A separate four-bedroom guest house and an independent two-bedroom staff house add accommodation flexibility. Inside the main residence, a gym and sauna, a 500-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar, a four-car garage, underfloor heating, and a backup generator capable of supplying power for three to four days demonstrate the quality of the existing infrastructure, whether retained, upgraded, or integrated into a wider redevelopment.
El Paraíso Barronal: A Coveted Second-Line Setting
El Paraíso Barronal is one of the Costa del Sol’s most established residential enclaves, set on the beach side of the coastline between Marbella and Estepona. The area is known for its tranquility, generous plots, and mature landscaping, offering a level of privacy that has become difficult to find along this stretch of the Mediterranean.
The estate sits within easy reach of the beach and El Paraíso Golf Club, while Puerto Banús, the dining scene of Benahavís, and the historic center of Estepona are a short drive away. Málaga Airport provides international connections within approximately one hour by car. According to Joyrney Real Estate, demand in the area continues to outpace the availability of premium development sites, reinforcing the long-term value of irreplaceable land at this scale.
Casa Solymar: One Landholding, Multiple Strategies
Combining scale, location, and flexibility, Casa Solymar offers developers, investors, and family offices a rare foundation on the Costa del Sol. Whether repositioned as a contemporary private residence, rebuilt as a new legacy villa, or subdivided into up to seven individual plots, the estate presents a compelling long-term proposition in one of the region’s most sought-after coastal enclaves.
