This property is located in Doña Julia, part of the municipality of Casares, Málaga. It offers a spacious townhouse with 208 m² of built area, spread over three floors including a basement. The home features two bedrooms and three bathrooms. With its south-facing orientation, residents enjoy a private garden and a terrace with panoramic views of the sea and mountains. The location is characteristic of the western Costa del Sol: close to golf courses like Finca Cortesín and a short distance from the Mediterranean Sea, yet sufficiently removed from busy tourist centers to ensure privacy.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The residence is situated 35 meters above sea level within a residential neighborhood in Casares. The immediate environment is dominated by the Finca Cortesín Golf Club, located just 1.2 km away. The coastline, featuring beaches at La Duquesa and Playa de Casares, is within reach after a short drive of a few kilometers. The setting combines the accessibility of coastal towns like Estepona with the tranquility of a planned urban area.
With 208 m² of built space, this property addresses the need for living room, where the basement level offers flexibility for a home office or gym. The private garden and covered terrace satisfy the desire for outdoor living. The layout places bedrooms on the upper floor to ensure privacy, while the open living room and kitchen on the ground floor are designed for communal use.
This concerns an existing home classified as 'Ready'. The construction condition is described as excellent, indicating a property that is immediately habitable without a renovation trajectory. The presence of amenities such as air conditioning and a fireplace suggests the home has been completed according to original specifications.
The kitchen is not fitted (unfurnished) and the property is sold without furniture, requiring buyers to manage the finishing and interior design themselves. Based on the 'Distressed' classification and pricing, there may be a specific legal or financial situation regarding the ownership transfer that requires further investigation. The distance to daily amenities, such as the supermarket at 1.8 km, makes a car practically necessary.

This fits buyers looking for a second home with ample space and direct access to golf and beach facilities. The layout is suitable for couples or small families where privacy and outdoor living are priorities. The need for a car for daily groceries and beach access is a given consideration. The home also requires investment in furniture and kitchen appliances, making it suitable for buyers who wish to finish their property entirely to their own taste.
The property features marble flooring, a common durable choice in the Spanish real estate market. The presence of air conditioning and a fireplace in the living room indicates provisions for climate control. The bathrooms are fitted with modern sanitary ware, as seen in the visual materials. However, the finishing of the kitchen and the furnishing of the basement level are open spaces that the new owner must complete.
The asking price for this project starts from €352,000. Compared to other townhouses in the region, such as similar projects in Mijas (from €490,000) and Fuengirola (from €364,000), this offering positions itself in the lower price segment. The price per square meter is attractive given the 208 m² surface area, though the 'Distressed' status may impact negotiation room and final transaction costs.
Lifestyle in Doña Julia is defined by the variety of tranquility and activity. The presence of three golf courses within a 3.3 km radius, including the prestigious Finca Cortesín Golf Club, makes the area attractive for golf enthusiasts. The elevation of 35 meters and the low slope of 0.9% towards the sea provide natural ventilation and view lines. With 3,845 hours of sunshine per year and an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, the climate is favorable for outdoor activities most of the year. The proximity to the marinas of La Duquesa and Estepona also provides access to a wide range of dining and water sports.
The neighborhood is defined as an urbanization, meaning it is a planned residential area with communal services. The proximity to the Golf Academy Albayt Resort and Estepona Golf reinforces the sporty character. The marina of La Duquesa, 3.6 km away as the crow flies, offers a harbor and a variety of restaurants. Daily life does require mobility; there are 42 public transport stops in the region, but a car is practical for the first-mile connection.
The map shows the position of the townhouse within the Doña Julia urbanization, directly bordering the golf course. Distances to beaches and marinas are measured as the crow flies; in practice, routes via the road network are somewhat longer.
Doña Julia is located in the western part of the Costa del Sol, just past Estepona. The area is car-friendly and centrally located between Marbella (40 km east) and Gibraltar (30 km west). The position between the sea and the mountains provides a double access to both marine and mountain activities.
Beaches such as Playa de Casares (2.0 km) and La Duquesa (3.9 km) are reachable within minutes by car. For winter sports enthusiasts, the proximity to Sierra Nevada ski lifts is an attractive option (though distant, it connects via good roads). The nearest supermarket is 1.8 km away, requiring a short drive. Malaga Airport is located 27 km away, meaning a travel time of approximately 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, Gibraltar Airport is approximately 28 km away. For EV drivers, a charging point is available at 8.2 km.

The region enjoys a microclimate with average temperatures ranging from 12°C to 27°C. The swimming season lasts approximately 5 months. The south-facing orientation of the property maximizes exposure to sunlight, particularly on the terrace. The location at the foot of the mountains offers protection from northern winds, making stays on terraces pleasant in winter.

The nearest beach, La Duquesa, holds a 'Blue Flag' status and features extensive facilities. The coastline is mainly rocky with sandy stretches, which makes it less suitable for long beach walks than areas further east, but offers a unique atmosphere. The presence of 3 golf courses within 5 km provides recreational alternatives outside the beach season.

Compared to the 'Arosa' project in Mijas, starting at €490,000, this townhouse in Doña Julia offers a lower entry price for a larger surface area (208 m² vs typically smaller in Mijas). The location in Casares is quieter than the central location of Fuengirola (e.g., Astra Homes from €364k), but the distance to the airport is greater (27 km vs shorter for Malaga Center). The value is determined by the combination of surface area, privacy, and the immediate proximity of the exclusive Finca Cortesín Golf Club.
