Completed in 2008, the property forms part of a gated residential complex featuring six communal swimming pools. The elevated position provides views of the surrounding landscape whilst maintaining convenient access to Costa del Sol's amenities. With west-facing orientation and proximity to several golf courses, the property represents established residential accommodation in a region known for its blend of countryside tranquillity and coastal accessibility.
Within the Casares area, this property at €379,000 sits between Camarate Hills (from €305,000) and Bliss Homes (from €395,000) in terms of pricing. Compared to Alcazaba Lagoon IV (from €335,000), this property commands a higher price point, reflecting its larger garden area and inclusion of two parking spaces. The property's inland location distinguishes it from more expensive frontline coastal developments but also protects it from the highest tourist concentrations during peak seasons. When compared to properties in neighbouring Estepona, this Casares location offers typically 10-15% better value for similar specifications, though with slightly increased travel distances to some amenities. Compared to properties in Sotogrande to the southwest, this Casares development offers a more residential atmosphere without the exclusive polo and golf club membership requirements common in that area. The property's position provides a balance between the traditional Spanish village experience of Casares town and the more international atmosphere of coastal developments. The golf accessibility here is comparable to more expensive golf developments in the region, with three courses within 7 kilometres, though the properties themselves are positioned more moderately in the market.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property occupies an inland position within Casares municipality, situated approximately 334 metres above sea level. This elevated location provides a rural setting with views towards the Mediterranean coastline. The development is positioned within a gated residential community, surrounded by landscaped gardens and communal pool areas. The distance to the coastline is approximately 8.7 kilometres in a straight line, placing it within reasonable reach of coastal amenities whilst maintaining an inland atmosphere.
This accommodation addresses functional requirements for those seeking spacious living arrangements with outdoor space. The 155m² interior layout includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing adequate capacity for permanent residence or extended stays. The private garden of 48m² extends the usable living space outdoors. West-facing orientation ensures afternoon and evening sunlight. The inclusion of two parking spaces and a storage room addresses practical needs for vehicle storage and belongings organisation. Communal facilities including swimming pools provide recreational amenities without individual maintenance requirements.
The development was completed in 2008, representing established construction rather than new build. The property has been occupied for approximately fifteen years, allowing the surrounding landscaping and community facilities to mature. As a completed development, all infrastructure, communal areas, and property-specific elements are fully operational and established. The construction techniques and materials used reflect building standards from the mid-2000s, with typical specifications for quality residential developments in the Costa del Sol region from that period. No further construction phases are anticipated for this specific property.
The property does not offer sea views due to its inland position. There are no on-site commercial facilities such as shops or restaurants within the residential complex. The property does not include furniture as part of the sale price. The location requires private transportation for access to most amenities and services. The property does not feature direct beach access. The development does not include specialist facilities such as a gym, spa, or tennis courts on-site. The property does not have a designated workspace or office area within its current layout.
This property would suit individuals or couples seeking a balance between rural tranquillity and access to coastal amenities. It particularly accommodates those who appreciate golf, given the proximity to multiple courses. The two-bedroom layout makes it suitable for small families, retired couples, or those who regularly host guests. The private garden and communal pool facilities appeal to those who value outdoor living without the responsibility of maintaining a large private plot. The requirement for private transportation makes it suitable for residents comfortable with driving as their primary mode of transport. The location would appeal to those seeking either a permanent residence in a quieter area or a secondary home for regular extended stays rather than short holiday breaks. The established nature of the development (completed in 2008) attracts buyers who prefer mature landscaping and fully operational communal facilities rather than new construction with potential development phases still underway. The property's specifications would meet the needs of those requiring accessible living space with good storage solutions and private parking.
The property features standard residential construction techniques from the mid-2000s, typical of quality developments in the Costa del Sol region. Interior finishes include fully fitted kitchen with appliances, indicating a complete functional specification rather than basic installation. The master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, representing an upgrade from standard bathroom fittings. Windows are specified with double glazing, providing improved thermal and acoustic insulation compared to single-glazed alternatives. Climate control includes both hot and cold air conditioning, ensuring year-round comfort. The property features covered and private terraces, with windows and curtains noted in the living area, suggesting attention to outdoor-indoor living integration. Flooring and wall finishes are not specified in detail but described as being in "excellent" condition, indicating good maintenance. The inclusion of utility room space demonstrates practical design considerations. Building standards from the 2008 construction period would include basic energy efficiency measures, though not meeting current more stringent requirements. Overall, the quality of materials and workmanship reflects upper-medium market positioning for the period of construction.
The property is priced at €379,000, positioning it within the mid-range segment for Casares properties. Comparable developments in the area include Camarate Hills (from €305,000), Bliss Homes (from €395,000), and Alcazaba Lagoon IV (from €335,000), placing this property competitively within the local market. The price includes two private parking spaces and a storage room, additional features that impact overall value assessment. As a completed property from 2008 rather than new construction, the pricing reflects established residential accommodation rather than off-plan development. The 155m² built area combined with a 48m² private garden results in a price per square metre that aligns with established residential properties in the Casares area with similar specifications and amenities.
Daily life at this Casares property typically begins with morning routines in a spacious 155m² interior space before moving to the 48m² private garden for breakfast. The west-facing orientation means the outdoor space receives optimal afternoon and evening sunlight, making it suitable for afternoon relaxation and evening dining. The residential complex with six communal pools (three for adults, three for children) creates opportunities for swimming and socialising within the community. The location necessitates car travel for most errands, with trips to the supermarket, beach, or other amenities requiring planned journeys. The proximity to multiple golf courses makes it particularly suitable for golf enthusiasts who might include regular rounds at Estepona Golf, Azata Golf, or Finca Cortesín Golf Club in their weekly routines. The gated community provides security and maintenance of common areas, reducing individual property upkeep responsibilities. The rural setting means evenings are generally quiet, with minimal urban noise, whilst remaining within reasonable distance of coastal entertainment options for occasional night-time activities.
