This ground-floor apartment is situated in the residential area of Casares Playa, offering 100 m² of living space alongside a 65 m² private garden. The property has undergone renovation and includes a valid tourist licence. Positioned between Estepona and Sotogrande, it provides proximity to the coastline while maintaining a sense of residential privacy. The orientation is south and west, allowing for natural light throughout the latter part of the day.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located on the coastal strip of Casares, approximately 600 metres from the shoreline. It sits within a developed urbanisation, positioned between the larger municipalities of Estepona to the east and Manilva to the west. The immediate surroundings consist of low-rise residential buildings.
This property addresses the requirement for external living space with a substantial private garden and covered porch. It is suited for households seeking a turnkey residence without the wait times associated with new construction. The inclusion of a tourist licence accommodates owners considering rental income generation.
The building phase is complete; the property is a renovated unit within an established urbanisation. No future construction phases are pending. The current condition is listed as excellent, with immediate availability for occupation or rental activity.
The property does not feature a private swimming pool, relying instead on communal facilities. As a ground-floor unit, it may experience less privacy compared to elevated apartments. The location requires a vehicle for access to international airports, with Malaga located over 70 km away.

This property fits buyers seeking a residence that is ready for immediate use, either as a permanent home or a holiday let. It is suitable for individuals or couples who prefer garden maintenance over pool maintenance but still desire access to communal swimming facilities. The tourist licence makes it relevant for investors looking for a property that can generate revenue from day one. It also suits those who prefer ground-floor accessibility, avoiding stairs, and who value the privacy of a private garden over panoramic views from a higher floor. The location is appropriate for those who do not require the vibrancy of a city centre but prefer the tranquillity of a smaller coastal town.
The interior has been renovated to an excellent standard. The open-plan living area integrates the kitchen, a modern layout feature that maximises the sense of space. Air conditioning is installed, providing both heating and cooling, a necessity for year-round comfort on the Costa del Sol. The bathrooms are fully fitted. The quality of the renovation is indicated by the 'excellent' condition rating, suggesting that recent updates have been made to the plumbing, electrical systems, and finishing materials. The 65 m² garden terrace provides a significant extension of the living space, effectively increasing the usable area of the property for a large portion of the year.
The listed price is €366,000 for a 2-bedroom apartment with a total constructed area exceeding 160 m² when including the terrace and garden. This pricing reflects the inclusion of a valid tourist licence and the rarity of such extensive private outdoor space in this segment. Availability is immediate, removing the risks associated with off-plan developments. The price point positions it within the mid-range of the Costa del Sol market for properties with similar outdoor dimensions.
The location functions as a quiet residential enclave separated from the main coastal road by other developments. Daily life here revolves around the distinction between the interior living space and the extensive private garden. The proximity to the sea allows for morning walks without the need for vehicular transport, yet the immediate vicinity remains relatively removed from the heavy tourism of larger marinas. The orientation towards the south and west dictates the use of the outdoor areas, shifting from shade in the morning to sun exposure in the afternoon and evening. The presence of local amenities within a kilometre radius supports a self-sufficient lifestyle for short stays or permanent living. The urbanisation provides a buffer against the noise of the A-7 motorway, which runs parallel to the coast but is not immediately adjacent to this specific plot.
The immediate environment offers a mix of essential services and leisure facilities. Supermarkets are within a 1.1 km radius, covering daily needs. The marina of La Duquesa, located approximately 3 km away, offers a broader range of restaurants and bars. The area is serviced by public transport, with 7 bus lines and 40 stops within proximity, reducing the absolute dependency on a car for local travel. However, for larger shopping trips or airport transfers, a vehicle is practical. The infrastructure is mature, with paved roads and established landscaping typical of this part of the coast.

Compared to Aquamar in Torre del Mar (€269,950), this property is priced higher, reflecting the premium of the Costa del Sol's western region and the inclusion of a large private garden. Lantana Residencial in Mijas (€205,000) offers a lower entry price but typically for smaller units without the extensive outdoor space found here. Etherna Homes in Estepona (€259,000) is new build, implying a wait time, whereas this Casares property offers immediate occupancy and the established infrastructure of a mature urbanisation. The Casares Playa location is less urban than Mijas or Torre del Mar, offering a quieter setting compared to the busier town centres of the eastern Costa del Sol.
