This key-ready townhouse is situated in the Doña Julia residential area in the municipality of Casares, on the western Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga. The property offers 205 m² of built space distributed over three floors, with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private garden, a south-facing orientation and panoramic sea and mountain views. Completed in 2010, the home is offered at a fixed asking price of €274,000 and is currently subject to an auction procedure with a submission deadline of 26 November 2026. The urbanisation lies next to a golf course and roughly 2,200 metres from the nearest beach.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Doña Julia is a residential urbanisation in Casares, divided into several gated complexes with predominantly detached homes. The setting combines proximity to golf with a coastal position: the nearest beaches, Playa Costa Natura and Playa del Cristo, lie about 1.1 km away as the crow flies, and Azata Golf is 2.7 km distant. Estepona's marina and town centre are within a short drive.
The house is arranged over three levels: an open basement usable as a leisure room, gym or office; a ground floor with living-dining room, kitchen, laundry and guest toilet; and an upper floor with two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and two bathrooms. A private garden, a covered porch and a large open terrace with sea views provide outdoor space for year-round use.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home, completed in 2010 and described as being in excellent condition. It is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The property is sold unfurnished and with an unfitted kitchen, so new owners should budget for kitchen installation and furnishing.
The property is subject to an auction process: interested parties must submit offers before the deadline of 26 November 2026, which restricts the standard negotiation route. The house has two bedrooms, which may not suit larger households. It is sold without furniture and without a fitted kitchen. A car is practically necessary for daily life, as shops and larger services are not within walking distance.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a holiday home on the Costa del Sol will find the two-bedroom layout, the terrace with sea views and the low asking price well matched to occasional use, with the golf course next door as an additional draw. Buyers planning a permanent move who work remotely can use the open basement as an office, while the quiet gated setting supports year-round living. Investors may note the price per square metre and the auction mechanism, which can create room below market value, though auction outcomes are never guaranteed. The house is less suitable for families needing three or more bedrooms, and buyers expecting a turnkey interior should account for the unfitted kitchen and absence of furniture. A car is part of the package here: beaches, schools and supermarkets are all a short drive rather than a walk. Buyers comfortable with a formal offer process and a deadline of 26 November 2026, rather than a conventional reservation, are the ones this opportunity addresses. Finally, those who value outdoor space, a private garden, a covered porch and a rooftop terrace, get more of it here than in most apartments at this price point.
The house was completed in 2010 and is listed as being in excellent condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring throughout and fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms. Climate control is twofold: air conditioning for the warm months and a fireplace in the living-dining room for cooler winter evenings, a combination that suits the local pattern of warm summers and mild but not tropical winters. The photographs show spacious, bright rooms with sliding glass doors connecting interiors to the terrace and garden, a modern staircase with white walls, and an empty top-floor room opening onto the sea-view terrace, a reminder that the property is delivered unfurnished. The kitchen is unfitted, so the new owner will install it to their own specification; this is a cost item to factor into the total budget, but also an opportunity to choose the layout. A storage room is present, and parking is private. The three-storey layout with a basement means a total of 205 m² built, which allows functions to be separated: sleeping upstairs, living on the ground floor and hobby or work space below. As with any 2010 build, buyers are advised to verify the condition of installations, air conditioning units, plumbing and waterproofing of the terraces, through an independent technical survey before submitting an offer.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €274,000 as part of an auction procedure established by the owning entity. Interested parties can submit purchase offers until 26 November 2026; the published price serves as the starting point. At €274,000 for 205 m² of built space with a private garden and three bathrooms, the price per square metre is low by Costa del Sol standards. For comparison, new-build projects in the wider region currently start from €205,000 in Mijas, €269,950 in Torre del Mar and €321,000 in Estepona, though those are typically smaller apartments or townhouses without this home's plot and layout.
Daily life in Doña Julia follows the rhythm of a quiet, gated residential setting between the golf course and the sea. The house itself is designed around layered living: the basement gives room for hobbies, fitness or a home office away from the main living areas; the ground floor concentrates daytime life around the living-dining room with fireplace and the adjoining covered porch; and the upper floor is reserved for rest, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The large open terrace on the top level, south-facing and with panoramic views over the sea and mountains, functions as the home's second living room for much of the year. The private garden allows outdoor dining, a barbecue area or simply a quiet spot in the sun. Within roughly 2 km there are around fifteen restaurants, six cafés and two pharmacies, which covers basic daily needs, though most residents will use a car for larger shopping trips, either to Estepona or to Sabinillas. The area records 626 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market. The climate supports an outdoor lifestyle: the average monthly temperature ranges between 15°C and 25°C, and the swimming season lasts about five months. Outside the summer months the urbanisation is noticeably quieter, which suits residents seeking a calm base rather than a busy resort atmosphere.
The immediate surroundings of Doña Julia are residential and green, shaped by the adjacent golf course and the rolling hills of the Casares municipality. Within a short radius, daily amenities are reasonably well represented: two pharmacies, six cafés and around fifteen restaurants lie within 2 km. For families, there are two primary schools and one secondary school in the area. Sports facilities are close at hand, with the Las Mesas sports centre 1.8 km away and the Polideportivo El Carmen municipal facilities around 2 km distant. Estepona's marina, Puerto Estepona, is 1.8 km away as the crow flies, combining moorings with a range of eateries. Beach options are varied: the nearest are Playa Costa Natura and Playa del Cristo at 1.1 km, the latter a sheltered family beach, while the long town beach La Rada lies 3.2 km away. Public transport exists, seven lines with 42 stops in the wider area, but frequency is limited, and most residents rely on a car. The terrain towards the beach is essentially flat, with a gradient of about 1.3%, which makes walking and cycling realistic options for the immediate area.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Doña Julia occupies a position on the western stretch of the Costa del Sol, in the municipality of Casares, close to the boundary with Estepona. Marbella lies 34 km to the east and Algeciras 34 km to the west, placing the property roughly midway along the coast between the established glamour of Marbella and the southern tip of the Iberian peninsula. Málaga city and its airport are about 67 km away by air. This western position favours Gibraltar Airport as an alternative arrival point. The area belongs to the quieter, lower-density end of the Costa del Sol, where golf courses and residential urbanisations dominate the landscape between the sea and the hills.
The property sits between two coastal towns: Estepona is the nearest, with its marina and sports facilities under 2 km away as the crow flies, while Sabinillas and the Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa lie about 7.8 km to the west. Marbella is 34 km distant in a straight line and Algeciras also 34 km in the other direction. Gibraltar Airport is the closest aviation hub at roughly 33 km, followed by Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport at about 67 km as the crow flies, in practice a drive of well over an hour along the A-7 or AP-7. Both options give international connectivity without dependence on a single airport. By car, the coastal motorway connects the urbanisation to the entire Costa del Sol. Golf is a defining feature of accessibility here: Azata Golf is 2.7 km away, the Golf Academy at Albayt Resort 2.9 km and Estepona Golf 3.1 km. An electric-vehicle charging point (Zunder/GALP in Estepona) is 3.0 km away. Public transport is available but sparse; a car remains the practical mode for daily life.

The climate data points to a typical western Costa del Sol pattern: an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages between 15°C and 25°C. Winters are mild enough to use the terrace and garden year-round, while summers are warm but moderated by the sea breeze. The swimming season, the period when sea water holds at 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly from late May to late October, which is generous by Atlantic standards. The elevation is registered at sea level and the gradient towards the beach is a flat 1.3%, so there are no hills to negotiate on foot between the house and the coast. The setting combines sea and mountain views, with the Sierra Bermeja behind Estepona and the hills of Casares inland providing walking terrain. Nature-oriented days out are possible towards the Genal valley and the white village of Casares itself. Sunshine hours on this stretch of coast are among the highest in Spain, which explains the orientation choice: the south-facing terrace captures sun through the day, and the upper-floor terrace adds evening light over the Mediterranean.

Beach life around Doña Julia is varied within a small radius. The nearest options at 1.1 km as the crow flies are Playa Costa Natura, a designated naturist beach, and Playa del Cristo, a sheltered cove with shallow water popular with families. Estepona's main beach, La Rada, is 3.2 km away and offers a long stretch of sand backed by the town's paseo marítimo with its chiringuitos. For boating and waterfront dining, Puerto Estepona is 1.8 km away and the marina at La Duquesa 7.8 km. Golf dominates the recreation offer: Azata Golf at 2.7 km, the Golf Academy Albayt Resort at 2.9 km and Estepona Golf at 3.1 km give three options within a five-minute drive. Sports centres include Las Mesas (1.8 km) and the municipal Polideportivo El Carmen facilities around 2 km away. Scenic viewpoints such as Mirador Playa del Cristo (1.4 km) and Mirador del Carmen (2.3 km) provide short walking destinations with coastal panoramas. Altogether, the area supports an active outdoor routine, swimming, golf, padel and coastal walks, without leaving the immediate vicinity.

Set against comparable offerings along the Costa del Sol, this Doña Julia townhouse occupies a distinctive position on price per square metre. At €274,000 for 205 m², roughly €1,340 per m², it undercuts most of the regional competition in absolute terms as well. Aquamar in Torre del Mar, on the eastern Costa del Sol, starts at €269,950, which is similar in total price but for new-build apartments in a denser urban setting further from Marbella and Gibraltar. Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts at €205,000, positioning itself as the budget entry point, though its location on the central Costa del Sol places it amid considerably more construction and traffic. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, the nearest direct competitor geographically, starts at €321,000, some €47,000 above this property, for new-build homes in the same municipal orbit. What the comparisons highlight is the trade-off at the heart of this listing: buyers here get more built space, a private garden and an established 2010 construction at a lower price, but not new-build finishes, a fitted kitchen or a developer's payment structure. The auction mechanism adds a further distinction: instead of a standard reservation with a developer, offers are submitted formally before 26 November 2026, with the published price as the starting point. The location itself is competitive, the western Costa del Sol around Casares and Estepona combines golf infrastructure, flat coastal access and proximity to both Gibraltar and Málaga airports, with Marbella 34 km away. Local market activity of 626 transactions per year suggests a functioning resale market, relevant for anyone considering future liquidity. For buyers whose priority is space, views and value rather than brand-new construction, this property competes strongly; for those who want a turnkey new build with a fitted kitchen, the new-build alternatives, at a higher price, remain the reference point.
