Located in the Doña Julia district of Málaga province, this three-story townhouse offers 228 m² of living space. The property sits within a residential area flanked by two golf courses and includes a private pool and garden. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the home accommodates families or couples seeking a foothold in Southern Spain. The setting is rural in character, yet amenities such as supermarkets and beaches are within a 3-kilometer radius.
Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas (from €490,000), this object in Doña Julia offers more outdoor space (122 m² garden) and a pool for a comparable price. Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola (from €720,000) is more expensive and often closer to commercial hubs, potentially offering less privacy. Astra Homes in Fuengirola (from €364,000) is cheaper but typically involves apartments with less square footage. Doña Julia offers a 'country-living' experience that is harder to find in the denser cities of Fuengirola and Mijas at this price point. The focus is on space and quiet, offset by the distance to city centers.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in Doña Julia, part of the municipality of Casares. It is a residential area bordering the Finca Cortesín golf course. The location is approximately 2.0 km (as the crow flies) from the coastline at Playa de Casares. Situated at 71 meters above sea level, the terrain features a gentle slope towards the sea, providing views and ventilation.
The layout provides a three-level living structure. The ground floor offers a living and dining area with access to the garden. The upper floor houses two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The basement is substantial, functioning as additional living space suitable for a TV, play, or work area, plus additional sleeping quarters and sanitary facilities.
This is a home completed in 2010. The structural condition reflects characteristics of modern construction from that period, featuring high ceilings and window openings for natural light. It includes a private garden of 122 m² and a swimming pool measuring 5.5 by 3.5 meters. Given the construction date, this is an existing home, immediately habitable, rather than a new build project.
The location in Doña Julia requires a private vehicle for most transportation. While basic amenities are about 1.8 km away, walking distance to larger urban centers like Estepona or Marbella is impractical for daily needs. The setting is rural; those seeking direct street life and dining at their doorstep must account for a short drive.
This project suits buyers needing more space than an apartment offers but without the maintenance costs of a detached villa. The extra basement level makes it suitable for those working from home or hosting guests regularly. Given the distances to schools and amenities, a car is necessary. The quiet location and proximity to golf courses make it attractive for retirees or those retreating from busy city centers.
The description highlights 'high ceilings' as a key architectural feature, enhancing spaciousness. Bathrooms feature modern vanities. Bedrooms include large fitted wardrobes. The kitchen is described as a 'designer kitchen' and fully equipped. The outdoor space is finished with a tiled terrace and a swimming pool. The basement utilizes 'English patios' (light wells) to ensure natural light, crucial for the habitability of this level.
The asking price for this property starts from €540,000. This translates to approximately €2,368 per square meter. For this region and property type (townhouse with an extra level and outdoor space), this aligns with market value for comparable homes in Casares Costa. Variation is not applicable here, as it is a specific listing.
Daily life here is characterized by privacy and tranquility. The neighborhood is free of through-traffic, remaining quiet. Due to the location between golf courses, the surroundings are green and open. Morning sun is visible on the private terrace and in the garden. Residents spend significant time outdoors, utilizing the private pool and terrace space connected to the living room. The basement provides a cool indoor retreat during the hottest summer months.
The living environment of Doña Julia is defined by low-density housing and greenery. It is an 'urbanización', meaning a planned residential community without through-traffic. The immediate area is quiet, primarily audible through wind in the trees and golfers on the nearby course. In summer, there may be increased tourism in the wider area, but the neighborhood itself retains a residential character. Daily groceries require a trip to the supermarket 1.8 km away.
The map shows the project's location in Doña Julia. Visible are the surrounding golf courses, Finca Cortesín and Estepona Golf. The coastline with the marinas of La Duquesa lies a short distance south of the property. Road connections (AP-7) are indicated for access to Málaga and Gibraltar.
Doña Julia is located in the western part of the Costa del Sol, precisely on the border between the municipalities of Casares and Estepona. This area is known as the 'Western Costa del Sol', popular for the combination of golf and sea. The location is strategic for those wanting to escape the bustle of Marbella while retaining coastal amenities. Gibraltar is approximately 30 km away, also a shopping destination for some expats.
By car, the coast at Playa de Casares and La Duquesa is within minutes (2.0 to 3.9 km). Málaga Airport is 27 km away, roughly 25 to 30 minutes via highways (AP-7). The nearest supermarket is 1.8 km away. Healthcare is available at a hospital 4.0 km away. Several golf courses are nearby: Finca Cortesín (1.2 km) and Estepona Golf (3.3 km). Public transport exists but is limited; a car is strongly recommended for efficient mobility.
