Situated in the elevated urbanisation of Bahía de Casares, this completed two-bedroom apartment offers panoramic views across the Mediterranean towards the coast. The property has been thoroughly renovated and is ready for immediate occupancy, featuring a functional 60m² layout with east-facing orientation that captures morning light. Located inland at 334 metres above sea level, the apartment provides a peaceful residential setting within a secure community whilst maintaining reasonable access to coastal amenities.
Within the Casares and Estepona corridor, this apartment represents a competitively priced option compared to newer developments. At €250,000, it positions below the area's newer projects such as Camarate Hills in Casares (starting from €305,000) and significantly below Estepona's contemporary developments like Acqua Gardens (from €418,800) and Aby Upper (from €320,000). Unlike many newer complexes that may still be under construction, this property offers immediate occupancy with completed renovations. The elevated position with panoramic views distinguishes it from more coastal properties, providing a different lifestyle proposition focused on vistas and tranquillity rather than beach proximity. Compared to Estepona's more urban developments, this location offers greater privacy and a quieter residential environment, though with reduced walkability to amenities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is positioned in an elevated inland location approximately 9 kilometres from the coastline, requiring a downhill approach from the nearest road access. At 334 metres above sea level, it sits within the municipality of Casares, which spans 160 square kilometres of predominantly rural landscape. The elevation provides panoramic vistas but necessitates consideration of the sloped terrain when accessing the property from road-level parking facilities.
The apartment offers a practical two-bedroom, one-bathroom configuration spanning 60 square metres, suitable for couples, small families, or those seeking a second residence. The layout includes a bright living-dining area connected to a fully equipped modern kitchen, with fitted wardrobes providing adequate storage. The east-facing orientation ensures morning natural light, whilst the private terrace extends the living space outdoors. The property is delivered part-furnished and ready for immediate occupation.
This property is not new construction but a thoroughly renovated apartment within an established residential complex. The renovation has updated the interior including the bathroom and kitchen, installing modern fixtures and finishes. The building fabric itself is part of the existing Bahía de Casares development, with communal areas including swimming pools and gardens that have been maintained over time. The property benefits from recent improvements including new awnings on the terrace and updated interior elements.
The property does not offer flat access, requiring navigation of a sloped path from the parking area to the entrance. This configuration may present challenges for those with mobility restrictions. The inland location means beach access requires transportation, as does reaching most daily amenities including supermarkets and restaurants. The single bathroom layout may not accommodate larger households, and the 60m² footprint represents a compact living space by modern standards. Parking is provided at road level rather than directly at the apartment entrance.
This apartment suits those prioritising panoramic views and tranquillity over immediate convenience. It is well-suited for second-home owners who visit periodically and value the peaceful setting, understanding that a car is necessary for each journey. For remote workers seeking a Mediterranean base with good natural light and connectivity (fibre optic available), the property provides a suitable environment. Small families or couples might find the space adequate for permanent residence, provided they are comfortable with the sloped access and drive-to amenities. Investors looking for rental properties will note the appeal of views and community amenities, though should recognise the location's reliance on personal transport.
The apartment has undergone comprehensive renovation, featuring modern fittings throughout. The bathroom includes contemporary fixtures with enhanced lighting, reflecting recent updates rather than original specifications. Kitchen facilities are fully fitted with modern appliances and finishes, designed for immediate use without further investment. Living areas benefit from double-glazed windows, contributing to both thermal efficiency and sound insulation. The installation of air conditioning and central heating systems addresses year-round climate control requirements. The private terrace has been upgraded with new awnings, providing adjustable shade whilst maintaining the sea views. Interior finishes demonstrate attention to detail, with fitted wardrobes offering integrated storage solutions.
This apartment is offered at €250,000, representing the entry point for properties in this urbanisation with similar specifications and views. The price reflects the completed renovation, panoramic sea views, and inclusion of a dedicated parking space. Within the local Casares market, this positions below the area's newer developments such as Camarate Hills (starting from €305,000) and significantly below Estepona's Acqua Gardens (from €418,800). The property's value proposition lies in its combination of views, renovation quality, and price point relative to the regional market.
Life in this apartment revolves around its elevated position with panoramic views. Mornings begin with natural light filling the east-facing rooms, with coffee on the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Daily errands require planning, as a car is essential for reaching the supermarket (7.9km away), restaurants, or the coast. The immediate surroundings offer tranquillity within the residential complex, where two communal pools provide seasonal recreation. The lifestyle here balances privacy and panoramic vistas with the practical consideration of being somewhat removed from immediate amenities. Evenings can be spent enjoying the sea views from the private terrace, or socialising within the small community of the urbanisation.
The apartment's location requires embracing a car-dependent lifestyle. The nearest pharmacy is conveniently just 108 metres away, but most other amenities involve driving. Supermarkets are 7.9km distant, typically a 10-15 minute journey. Casares village offers local banking and dining options, while larger retail centres require travel towards Estepona or Manilva. The area benefits from good transport links, with seven bus routes serving 33 stops within the municipality. Educational facilities include two primary schools and one secondary school within Casares, making the area potentially suitable for families with children. The regional hospital is 7.6km away, providing accessible healthcare services.
The map shows the apartment's position in Bahía de Casares, situated at 334 metres elevation with southerly views towards the Mediterranean. The property lies approximately 9km inland from the coastline, within the municipality of Casares, which spans 160 square kilometres of varied terrain. The map illustrates the relationship between the elevated position and the surrounding urban areas, including proximity to Casares village, Estepona, and the coastal amenities of the western Costa del Sol.
The apartment is positioned within Casares municipality, which sits between the larger towns of Estepona to the northeast and Manilva to the southwest. This location places it approximately midway along the western Costa del Sol, roughly midway between Marbella to the northeast and Gibraltar to the southwest. The inland position within the municipality provides a buffer from direct coastal development, offering views across the landscape towards the sea. Casares itself is a traditional white village that maintains its Andalusian character despite tourism development in the region.
The apartment's elevated position provides certain trade-offs in terms of accessibility. Beach access requires travelling approximately 9km to reach the shoreline, with options including Playa de Casares (8.9km), Playa de Manilva (9.7km), and the clothing-optional Costa Natura (8.7km). These beaches are typically reached within 15-20 minutes by car. For urban amenities, Estepona town centre lies approximately 10-15 minutes away, offering comprehensive shopping, dining, and services. Gibraltar Airport sits 32km distant (roughly 35-40 minutes by car), while Málaga's larger international airport is 73km away. Golf facilities are particularly accessible, with four courses within 7km.
