This project features a townhouse situated in the Doña Julia neighborhood, within the municipality of Casares, Málaga. The property offers a living area of 176 m² spread across three floors, including a basement, ground floor, and upper level. It is located in a characteristic area of the western Costa del Sol, close to the coastline and surrounded by golf courses, including the nearby Finca Cortesín Golf Club. The home includes 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated within a residential development (urbanization) in Doña Julia. The location sits at approximately 35 meters above sea level, providing a gentle slope towards the coast. The terrain is predominantly flat (0.9% slope). The environment is defined by green spaces and golf courses, with direct access to the A-7 coastal highway, facilitating connections to Estepona and Marbella.
The current design provides basic living comfort with a functional layout. The presence of a fireplace and marble floors indicates traditional construction materials. The private garden and covered terraces offer outdoor living space. Note: the kitchen is unfitted and furniture is not included, requiring the new owner to manage interior installation and furnishing.
This property is not new construction but an existing home listed in 'excellent' condition. It includes features such as air conditioning (partially installed) and double glazing. No specific completion date or construction phase applies; the home is immediately available for occupancy.
Living in Doña Julia typically requires private transport for daily amenities, although a supermarket is located 1.8 km away. The distance to the beach is approximately 3.9 km as the crow flies, necessitating a short drive or bike ride. The home has two bedrooms, which may limit capacity for large families or groups of guests.

This fits households looking for a permanent residence or a second home focusing on tranquility and space away from the busy beachfront. The layout may suit retirees, provided they can navigate the stairs to the basement and upper floor. For investors, the rental market in Doña Julia is stable due to golf tourism, though seasonality outside summer months must be considered.
The home features marble flooring, typical for the region, ensuring coolness in summer. Bathrooms include sanitary fixtures, though finishing depends on personal maintenance. Specifications state 'unfurnished' and an 'unfitted kitchen', meaning the new owner must budget for kitchen installation and furnishing. The structure includes a basement and upper-floor terrace, indicating a solid build volume.
The asking price for this home starts from €273,000. This positions the property in the mid-range segment of the real estate market in Casares. Compared to similar projects in Estepona, such as Acqua Gardens (from €418,800) and Aby Upper (from €320,000), this project offers a lower entry point. Price variation may occur depending on the specific state of maintenance and potential renovations required for the kitchen.
Living in Doña Julia means residing in an 'urbanization', a gated community primarily consisting of detached and semi-detached homes. The neighborhood is car-friendly and quiet, featuring plenty of greenery. Daily rhythm is dictated by the proximity to the sea and the golf course. Mornings are relatively quiet within the residential area, while recreation seekers head to the coastlines of Casares and Estepona. The basement provides extra storage, practical for homeowners who shop outside peak hours. The location on the 'Nueva Andalucía' side of the region allows sitting in the mountain shade with sea views, beneficial for temperature perception during summer.
The immediate environment is characterized by the Finca Cortesín Golf Club and access to Casares beaches. The village of Casares is more traditional and closer than the center of Estepona. For daily groceries, residents rely on local supermarkets in the area or larger centers along the A-7. The presence of 42 public transport stops suggests bus availability, but frequency and duration differ from the flexibility of a car.
The map shows the project's location in Doña Julia, directly bordering the golf course. The road to the coast (A-7/N-340) is clearly visible, as is the distance to La Duquesa marina and the coastline.
Doña Julia is located on the western side of the Costa del Sol, bordering Casares and Estepona. It is an area in development that bridges the gap between chic Marbella (east) and the quieter Sotogrande/Gibraltar (west). This position offers a mix of international residential homes and tourist facilities. The region is popular among golfers and Northern Europeans seeking a permanent residence.
The nearest beach (Playa de La Duquesa) is located 3.9 km away as the crow flies. Málaga Airport is accessible at 27 km, though driving time depends on traffic. Public transport is an option with 7 lines in the vicinity, but a car is necessary for quick connections to ports (Puerto de la Duquesa at 3.6 km) and other towns. A hospital is located 4.0 km away.

The location enjoys an average annual temperature of 18.5°C with 3,845 historical sunshine hours per year. The elevation at 35 meters ensures ventilation from the sea. The swimming season lasts for 5 months, with sea temperatures rising above 20°C. The geographical position protects against colder northern winds, increasing comfort on the terraces.

Compared to the 'Acqua Gardens' project in Estepona, starting from €418,800, this home in Doña Julia offers a more accessible entry point with more built-up area (176m² vs typically smaller apartments). However, Acqua Gardens is new build with communal amenities like pools and gyms that define 'luxury'. In contrast, this project focuses more on privacy and a traditional residential form with a private garden. Compared to 'Alba Benalmadena' (€699,000), this project is significantly cheaper, mainly due to location; Benalmadena is more central and closer to Málaga city. Doña Julia, however, offers more tranquility and direct access to top-tier golf courses like Finca Cortesín, appealing to a different demographic willing to travel for privacy and sport.
