With a living area of 211 m² spread over three floors, the residence offers space for two bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The residence is situated in the Doña Julia residential neighborhood, near the N-340 coastal road. The surroundings are characterized by low-rise buildings and green zones. The project is located on terrain that slopes gently towards the sea, contributing to the panoramic views. The immediate environment is car-friendly and predominantly quiet, apart from local traffic.
The layout of the property supports a lifestyle where indoor and outdoor living merge. The presence of a basement floor offers additional space for storage or a home office, increasing the functional usability of the home without encroaching on the ground floor living space.
As this is an existing property that is ready for occupancy, there is no construction process or future completion date involved. Buyers can access the property immediately. It is a previously occupied structure currently available for sale.
The project does not feature central heating based on a city network. The kitchen is functional but not fully modernized according to the latest trends. The distance to the beach is approximately 4 kilometers, meaning a vehicle is necessary for daily beach visits.
This property suits buyers seeking a second home with the potential for permanent residency. The layout with two bedrooms is efficient for couples or small families. The presence of three bathrooms and an extra basement provides flexibility for guests. The location is practical for golfers due to the immediate proximity of various courses. Individuals wishing to avoid tourist center crowds but wanting amenities within reach will find a solution here. A car is essential due to distances to pedestrian areas.
The home features marble floors on the main levels, contributing to coolness in summer. The structure includes a fireplace in the living room for winter heating. The kitchen has basic appliances but may require modernization based on personal taste. Sanitary ware is functional. The exterior finish includes tiled terraces and gardens, facilitating maintenance in the Mediterranean climate. Technical installations include air conditioning for cooling.
The asking price for this property is set at €325,000. This represents a gross asking price excluding transaction taxes, notary fees, and registration costs. Buyers should account for 10% transfer tax (ITP) and additional costs. Compared to new-build projects in the same region, prices for comparable homes range around €400,000 to €500,000, positioning this competitively.
Daily life in Doña Julia is defined by the balance between privacy and shared facilities. The neighborhood is designed as a gated community, limiting external traffic. Mornings are characterized by sun on the south-facing terrace. In the afternoon, the private garden offers shelter from the wind. The location next to the Finca Cortesín area ensures a relatively quiet environment compared to the bustling centers of Estepona or Marbella. The proximity of various golf courses maintains a permanently green landscape. Evenings can be spent on the covered terrace, providing protection against the evening chill in winter months.
The Doña Julia neighborhood offers an isolated atmosphere without being remote. For daily groceries, a supermarket is available at a 1.8 km distance. Medical facilities are ensured by a health center at 4.0 km and a hospital in the wider region. The proximity to the marinas of La Duquesa and Estepona means a variety of dining options are within a short distance.
The map visualization shows the location of Doña Julia in relation to the coastline and golf courses. The dense construction is clearly visible, as are the green zones separating the neighborhood from surrounding nature.
Doña Julia is located on the western side of the Costa del Sol, precisely between Estepona and Marbella. This position offers the tranquility of a suburb with access to urban amenities in Estepona at a short distance. It is an area transitioning from purely agricultural/tourist to a more permanent residential environment.
La Duquesa beach is the nearest point for sea activities at a distance of 3.9 km as the crow flies. Málaga Airport is accessible at a distance of 27 km via the A-7 highway, implying a drive time of approximately 25-30 minutes. For international travel, Gibraltar Airport is also an option at approximately 28 km. While there are seven public transport lines in the region, frequency and proximity of stops (42 stops in the region) make a car the most practical option.

Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas and Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, Doña Julia offers a significantly lower entry price (€325k vs €490k - €720k). Note that these competitors often have more luxurious communal facilities and are directly on the coast. However, the dimensions of this property (211 m²) are larger than what is standard for this price class in newer projects, resulting in a favorable price per square meter. The location is quieter than Fuengirola but further from international schools than the 'Golden Mile'.
