This project involves a renovated townhouse located in Doña Julia, part of the municipality of Casares in the province of Málaga. The property features a living area of 209 m² spread across three floors, situated on a plot within an urbanisation. The location is characteristic of the region: close to the coastline and in direct proximity to various golf courses, including Finca Cortesín. The property includes private outdoor spaces and a basement. The distance to the Mediterranean Sea is approximately 3.9 kilometers (as the crow flies).
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Doña Julia, a residential district in Casares, Málaga. The location is near the N-340 coastal road, facilitating access to surrounding coastal towns such as Estepona and Marbella. The environment is primarily characterized by low-rise buildings and residential complexes. The coast and the marina of La Duquesa are located at a distance of 3.9 km (as the crow flies).
This type of property offers functionality for permanent residence or long stays, aided by the presence of a basement floor providing extra storage space. With two bedrooms and three bathrooms, the layout is suitable for families or couples who frequently host guests. The private garden offers outdoor space without dependence on communal zones.
The construction status of this property is 'Completed'. This means there are no construction risks or waiting times for delivery. The buyer can have immediate access to the property. Technical installations, including pre-installation for air conditioning, are already integrated into the building.
The property is presented unfurnished ('Not Furnished') and without a fitted kitchen ('Not Fitted'). Buyers must account for an investment for fitting the kitchen and purchasing furniture. Additionally, the property is categorized as 'Distressed', which may indicate necessary modernization or renovation of specific elements.

This fits buyers actively looking for a 'fixer-upper' or a property to be decorated to their own taste. It is suitable for those who do not want the waiting times of new construction projects and desire immediate availability. It is also relevant for golfers given the short distance to multiple courses. One must be willing to manage the kitchen finishing and furnishing themselves.
The property features marble flooring, a common feature in the Spanish real estate market due to its coolness and ease of maintenance. Technical installations include air conditioning (pre-installation) and a fireplace. However, the kitchen is not fitted ('Not Fitted'), which is an important point of attention during viewing: the buyer must budget for this. Bathrooms are present.
The asking price for this property starts from €357,000. Compared to other projects in the region, such as Arosa in Mijas (starting from €490,000) and Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (starting from €720,000), this object positions itself in the lower segment of the market. The price is justified by the necessary investments for interior design (kitchen/furniture) and the condition of the property.
Living in Doña Julia means residing in a residential environment that offers tranquility without being isolated. The daily reality involves a dependence on a car for groceries and outings, given the 1.8 km distance to the nearest supermarket. The neighborhood is designed to be car-friendly. The proximity to golf courses (Finca Cortesín at 1.2 km) largely defines the streetscape and the target audience of the area.
The environment lends itself to outdoor living. The property has a private terrace and a garden, allowing for time spent outdoors. The proximity to the beach (La Duquesa at 3.9 km) makes it possible to make frequent beach visits. The presence of 8 restaurants within a 2 km radius shows there is sufficient hospitality in the immediate area for dining.
The map shows the location of the Doña Julia district in relation to the coastline and surrounding golf courses. You can see the distances to main roads, the airport, and the marina of La Duquesa. Green zones indicate the natural environment and golf areas.
Doña Julia is located in the western part of the Costa del Sol, just west of Estepona. It is an area in development that forms the bridge between the busier coastal towns and the quieter areas towards Gibraltar. The location is strategic for those wanting access to both the facilities of Estepona (at 7.4 km) and the border with Gibraltar (at 28 km).
Málaga Airport is accessible at a distance of approximately 27 km. This means a travel time of about 25-30 minutes by car. A car is necessary for daily amenities: the supermarket is 1.8 km away and the hospital is 4.0 km away. The nearest beach (La Duquesa) is 3.9 km away. There are several golf courses in the immediate vicinity, ranging from 1.2 km to 3.3 km distance.

Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000), this object is significantly more affordable. While Arosa often targets a higher segment with more amenities, this project in Doña Julia offers a base product. Also, compared to Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000), the entry here is lower. However, Astra Homes in Fuengirola (from €364,000) offers a comparable price. The advantage of Doña Julia lies in the larger surface area (209 m²) and the quieter, more golf-oriented environment versus the bustle of Fuengirola.
