This three-storey townhouse is situated in the Doña Julia residential area in the municipality of Casares, Málaga, on the western Costa del Sol. Built in 2010 and now key-ready, the property offers 210 m² of built space across a basement, ground floor and first floor, with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private garden, a rooftop terrace with sea views and private parking. The asking price is fixed at €288,000, subject to an auction process with a submission deadline of 26 November 2026. The home is located next to a golf course, roughly 2.2 km from the nearest beach.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Doña Julia is a residential urbanisation in the municipality of Casares, set inland from the coast between Estepona and Sotogrande. The area consists of gated complexes with predominantly detached and terraced homes around the Casares golf course. Estepona's marina and town centre lie approximately 1.8 km away as the crow flies, while Marbella is 34 km distant. The nearest beaches are about 1.1 to 2.2 km from the property.
The house addresses everyday living needs with a living-dining room with fireplace, a kitchen, laundry room and guest toilet on the ground floor, and two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and two full bathrooms upstairs. The open basement offers space for a gym, office or storage. Air conditioning, marble flooring, a covered porch, an open terrace with panoramic sea and mountain views and a private garden complete the functional layout.
This is not a new-build project. The property was completed in 2010 and is offered key-ready in an established urbanisation. As an existing home, it has a fixed asking price of €288,000 rather than a price list. The purchase is conducted through an auction-style offer process, meaning interested parties submit bids before the deadline of 26 November 2026.
The property is sold unfurnished and the kitchen is not fitted, so budget should be allowed for installing a kitchen and furnishings. It has two bedrooms, which limits capacity for larger households. The sale is subject to an auction procedure with a fixed offer deadline. Doña Julia is a car-dependent residential area; daily errands generally require driving to Estepona or nearby commercial centres.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a holiday home on the Costa del Sol will find the south orientation, rooftop terrace and proximity to golf and beaches well matched to seasonal use, with Estepona's restaurants and marina a short drive away. Buyers relocating permanently who value calm surroundings but want access to schools will note the two primary schools and one secondary school within the immediate area. Investors may see merit in the price per square metre, which is competitive for the western Costa del Sol, and in the auction format as an entry route. The flexible basement suits those working remotely who need a dedicated office or hobby space. The house is less suitable for larger families needing three or more bedrooms, for buyers wanting a turnkey property with a fitted kitchen, or for those without a car, given the residential character of Doña Julia. Buyers unfamiliar with auction processes should also factor in the fixed deadline and the possibility of competing offers before deciding whether this route suits them.
The house was completed in 2010 and is described as being in excellent condition. Flooring throughout is marble, a material typical of Spanish homes of that period and durable in coastal conditions. Climate control combines air conditioning units with a fireplace in the living room, covering both summer cooling and winter heating, though the actual efficiency of the installation should be verified during a viewing. Both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes. The three bathrooms are finished with showers; one appears compact in the listing photography. The kitchen is delivered unfitted, which gives the buyer freedom over the layout and appliance choice but requires a furnishing budget. Interior photography shows empty, tiled rooms in clean condition, including the basement, which has a pillar and tiled floor consistent with its use as a functional rather than finished living space. The rooftop terrace is accessed separately and offers open sea views. Practical elements include a storage room, private parking and a private garden for exclusive use. As the property is sold unfurnished and has been offered through an institutional owner, an independent technical inspection is advisable to confirm the condition of the roof, installation work and community infrastructure before finalising an offer.
The property carries a fixed asking price of €288,000 for 210 m² of built space, equivalent to roughly €1,371 per square metre. The sale is conducted as an auction: the owning entity accepts written offers from interested parties until 26 November 2026, with the published price serving as the starting point. Because the process is competitive, the final outcome depends on the offers received. The house is available immediately as it is key-ready, though the unfitted kitchen and absence of furnishings mean move-in requires some preparation. Buyers should verify the auction terms, deposit requirements and timeline with the sales team before committing.
Daily life in Doña Julia follows the rhythm of a quiet, gated residential community built around golf. The urbanisation lies next to the golf course, and the surrounding streets carry little through traffic, which makes the area noticeably calm outside the summer months. The house itself is organised vertically over three levels: the basement provides a flexible open space that can serve as a home office, gym or storage; the ground floor gathers the living-dining room with fireplace, kitchen, laundry and guest toilet around a covered porch; and the first floor holds both bedrooms and bathrooms, topped by an open terrace with sea and mountain views. Because the property faces south, the terrace and garden receive sun throughout the day, which suits outdoor meals and evening use of the chill-out space the garden allows. For shopping, dining and services, residents generally drive to Estepona, whose marina and centre lie roughly two kilometres away. Within two kilometres of the property there are fifteen restaurants, six cafés and two pharmacies, so basic daily needs are met locally. The nearest beaches, including Playa del Cristo and Costa Natura, are about 1.1 km away as the crow flies, an easy short drive or a longer walk. The area has two primary schools and one secondary school within reach, and public transport is available with seven lines and forty-two stops, though a car remains the practical mode of transport for most residents.
The immediate surroundings of Doña Julia are defined by golf and low-density housing. The Casares golf course lies adjacent to the property, with Azata Golf 2.7 km away, the Golf Academy at Albayt Resort 2.9 km and Estepona Golf 3.1 km, all measured in straight-line distance. Estepona's marina, Puerto Deportivo, is 1.8 km away and offers mooring, dining and leisure; Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa is 7.8 km west. For sport, the Las Mesas sports centre is 1.8 km away, with two municipal El Carmen facilities within 2.2 km. Daily amenities within two kilometres include fifteen restaurants, six cafés and two pharmacies. The nearest viewpoint, Mirador Playa del Cristo, is 1.4 km away. An electric-vehicle charging station operated by Zunder and GALP is located 3 km from the property. The terrain is flat, with an average gradient of 1.3% toward the sea, which makes walking and cycling realistic options for shorter trips despite the residential setting.
The map shows Doña Julia's position between the Casares golf course and the coast, with Estepona's marina and beaches a short distance east. Marbella, Algeciras and both regional airports are marked to indicate the wider geography of the western Costa del Sol.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Doña Julia occupies a position on the western Costa del Sol between Estepona and Manilva, in the municipality of Casares. Estepona, with its marina, old town and beaches, functions as the nearest service centre roughly two kilometres away. Marbella lies 34 km east and Algeciras 34 km west, while Málaga city and its airport sit 67 to 81 km along the coast. This places the property in the quieter, lower-density stretch of the coast, away from the high-rise concentrations of Marbella and Fuengirola but within reach of both, and closer to Gibraltar than most Costa del Sol locations.
The nearest beaches, Playa Costa Natura and Playa del Cristo, are 1.1 km away as the crow flies, with the broad La Rada beach in Estepona at 3.2 km. Marbella lies 34 km east and Algeciras 34 km west, positioning the property midway along the western Costa del Sol. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 33 km away in a straight line and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport roughly 67 km, giving a choice of two airports within practical range; actual driving distances are longer than straight-line figures. Alicante, at 458 km, is not a realistic option. Public transport in the area comprises seven lines serving forty-two stops, which supports travel toward Estepona and along the coast, though frequencies are limited compared with urban centres. A car is the practical choice for shopping, school runs and airport transfers. The A-7 coastal motorway is the main route connecting the area to Estepona, Marbella and Málaga.

The location sits at sea level with a flat gradient toward the Mediterranean, meaning no hill climbs between the house and the coast. The climate is characteristic of the western Costa del Sol: the average annual temperature is 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 15°C in the cooler months to 25°C in summer. The swimming season extends to about five months per year during which sea temperatures reach 20°C or above, roughly from late spring into early autumn. This pattern supports outdoor use of the terrace, garden and nearby beaches for most of the year, with the fireplace covering the milder winter evenings. The combination of sea and mountain views from the upper terrace reflects the position between the coastline and the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja behind Estepona and Casares, which also provides walking routes inland for those seeking variety beyond the beach.

Beach options around Doña Julia are varied within a short radius. Playa del Cristo, 1.1 km away, is a sheltered west-facing cove popular with families for its calm water, while Costa Natura at the same distance is a designated naturist beach. La Rada, Estepona's main sandy beach at 3.2 km, stretches along the town promenade with chiringuitos and facilities. Golf is the dominant recreation in the immediate area: the adjacent Casares course, Azata Golf at 2.7 km, the Albayt academy at 2.9 km and Estepona Golf at 3.1 km give four options within a five-minute drive. Sports centres at Las Mesas (1.8 km) and the two El Carmen municipal facilities (2.0 and 2.2 km) cover indoor and court sports. Two marinas at 1.8 km and the Duquesa marina at 7.8 km add sailing and dining options, and the viewpoints at Playa del Cristo and Carmen de Estepona provide coastal walking destinations.

Compared with new-build alternatives on the Costa del Sol, this townhouse occupies a distinct position. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950, and Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000, both on the eastern side of Málaga province; Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts at €321,000, geographically the closest comparison. The Doña Julia property differs from these in two structural ways. First, it is an existing 2010 home rather than off-plan, so the buyer sees the finished product, the established community and the mature surroundings immediately, with no construction risk or waiting period. Second, the auction format sets a fixed starting price of €288,000 for 210 m² of built space including a basement, private garden and parking, a package that new-build listings at similar price points rarely match in sheer floor area, though buyers must weigh this against the unfitted kitchen, unfurnished condition and the competitive bid process. The location itself, between Estepona and Casares, is quieter than Mijas or Torre del Mar and considerably less built-up, with golf as the immediate surroundings rather than dense residential expansion. The western Costa del Sol around Estepona has seen steady transaction activity, 626 housing transactions per year in the local area, supported by demand from northern European buyers. Median income in the province of €16,450 per year is a regional statistic with limited bearing on a resort-area purchase, but it underlines that the coastal property market operates largely on national and international demand rather than local wages. Buyers weighing this property against new-build options should compare total cost of ownership, including kitchen installation, community fees and the auction timeline, rather than headline price alone.
