Situated in Doña Julia, within the municipality of Casares, this townhouse offers 201 m² of living space. Distributed across three floors including a basement, the property features two bedrooms and three bathrooms. The south-facing aspect provides views of the sea, mountains, and adjacent golf courses. Located approximately 2 km (as the crow flies) from the coastline, specifically Playa de Casares, and just 1.2 km from Finca Cortesín Golf Club, the home is part of a gated residential community with private garden space.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is positioned in the Doña Julia district, a residential area within Casares on the western Costa del Sol. This area is characterized by its proximity to golf developments and the coastline. The immediate surroundings consist of similar low-density residential complexes. The elevation of 35 meters above sea level ensures sea views while maintaining a comfortable climate.
The layout separates daily living from sleeping quarters effectively. The ground floor hosts the living area with a fireplace and kitchen access, leading to a covered terrace. The upper level houses the bedrooms and bathrooms. The basement offers additional square footage, adaptable for a gym, office, or storage, addressing the need for multi-use space within a home.
The property is listed as 'Ready' for occupancy. There is no construction phase to wait for, allowing for immediate occupation. The structure includes pre-installed air conditioning (hot/cold) and marble flooring throughout, indicative of the construction quality typical for the region.
The property is delivered unfurnished and the kitchen is not fitted, requiring investment by the buyer. While 'Close To Town' in classification, the distance to specific amenities (supermarket 1.8 km) implies a dependency on a car rather than a fully pedestrian experience for daily needs.

This property fits buyers seeking more space than a standard apartment offers without moving to a detached villa. The basement is a key differentiator for those needing a home office or studio. The proximity to golf (1.2 km) is a specific draw, but the requirement of a car for most errands makes it less suitable for those seeking a fully car-free existence.
The interior features marble flooring and fitted wardrobes. Climate control is addressed via a pre-installed A/C system and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. It is important to note the 'Not Fitted' kitchen and lack of furniture, which allows for customization but requires upfront budgeting.
Priced from €341,000, this property presents a competitive entry point compared to similar developments in Mijas (starting at €490,000 for Arosa) and significantly lower than Fuengirola's Waterfall Residences (from €720,000). The price per square meter is favorable given the 201 m² size and inclusion of a basement.
Living in Doña Julia offers a residential rhythm defined by space and golf course views rather than high-density tourism. The area is predominantly car-oriented, essential for reaching supermarkets and broader amenities. The terrain is flat (0.9% slope), making navigation easy. The microclimate here, with over 3,800 sun hours, supports an outdoor lifestyle, though the presence of a fireplace acknowledges the cooler winter evenings typical of the region.
The environment is anchored by the Finca Cortesín Golf Club. Essential services like a supermarket are 1.8 km away. The beach (La Duquesa) is 3.9 km away, providing access to the marina and dining options. The area is self-contained, requiring travel to nearby towns for a wider variety of shops and entertainment.
The map highlights the proximity to the coast and the golf fairways. The location is notable for its green buffer zones, separating the residential area from the main coastal roads, providing a sense of seclusion despite being inland.
Doña Julia sits strategically between Estepona and Manilva. This location offers a quieter alternative to the central Costa del Sol while maintaining accessibility. The N-340 and AP-7 motorways are nearby, facilitating travel to Marbella and Malaga. It represents a balance between semi-rural tranquility and coastal accessibility.
Malaga Airport is 27 km away, while Gibraltar Airport is 28 km away. The closest major port is La Duquesa at 3.9 km. Private parking is included, which is necessary given the local public transport options, though 42 bus stops are recorded in the vicinity.
