A key-ready detached villa in Doña Julia, in the Casares Costa area between the golf courses of Finca Cortesin and Doña Julia Golf Club. The property offers 208 m² of living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a south orientation, sea views from a 30 m² upper terrace, and a private garden with pool. The asking price is fixed at €460,000, and the property is sold fully furnished. Completion is indicated as 2026, although such dates remain indicative. The villa includes a 92 m² basement with natural light and parking for several vehicles.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in Casares Costa, roughly ten minutes by car from Estepona and thirty minutes from Marbella. The setting is residential and green, framed by two golf courses, with the Mediterranean visible from the upper floors. Gibraltar Airport lies approximately 33 km away as the crow flies and Málaga Airport about 67 km. Playa del Cristo and Playa Costa Natura are both around 1.1 km away in a straight line.
The layout serves two occupants comfortably, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms including an ensuite, and a light-filled open-plan ground floor connecting the kitchen to the living room and covered terrace. The basement, roughly 92 m² with windows, can be converted into a cinema room, office, gym or guest accommodation. Air conditioning, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and a fireplace cover both summer and winter use.
The construction status is key-ready, meaning the villa can be handed over without further building work. The stated completion year of 2026 should be treated as indicative rather than contractual. As an existing home offered at a fixed asking price of €460,000, there is no price list or phased release; what is quoted is the asking price for the property as it stands, including its furniture.
The property offers two bedrooms on the upper floor, which is fewer than many family-sized villas in the region; additional sleeping space depends on converting the basement. The plot is recorded as 200 m², so outdoor space is compact despite the private garden and pool. There is no communal facility package, and buyers seeking on-site services of a resort development will not find them here. Parking is on private ground rather than in a closed garage.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a permanent residence on the Costa del Sol will find the two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout manageable, with the basement as reserve space should family circumstances change. Buyers of a second home will appreciate that the villa is key-ready and fully furnished, allowing use almost immediately after purchase, with a fireplace and underfloor-heated bathrooms making winter stays comfortable. Golf players place particular value on the position between Finca Cortesin and Doña Julia Golf Club, with further courses such as Estepona Golf and Azata Golf within a few kilometres. Those who want a private pool and garden without communal rules or resort fees are served by the standalone setup. Buyers who need four or more bedrooms on the upper floors, or who want a large plot, should note the constraints: the recorded plot is 200 m² and the sleeping accommodation upstairs is limited to two rooms. The property also suits someone willing to add value through conversion, since the basement is unfinished potential space with natural light rather than finished living area. Households that depend on walking to daily amenities should be aware that, while schools, pharmacies and restaurants lie within about two kilometres, the immediate setting is residential and a car remains the practical mode of transport for most errands.
The finishing level is consistent with a modern villa built for year-round occupation. The kitchen is fully equipped and integrated into an open-plan living space, which photographs show as light-filled with direct garden access. Bathrooms are finished with contemporary tiling and vanity units, and the ensuite arrangement gives both bedrooms independence. Climate control is addressed from several directions: air conditioning for the summer months, underfloor heating in the bathrooms for winter comfort, and a fireplace in the living room as both a heat source and a focal point. Fitted wardrobes provide storage in the bedrooms, and there is a separate storage room in the property. The upper terrace of about 30 m² extends the living space outdoors, oriented south and looking towards the sea; the covered terrace on the ground floor offers shade during the hottest hours. The basement deserves particular attention in any viewing: at approximately 92 m² with windows and natural light, it is dry, usable space rather than a dark cellar, and its conversion into guest accommodation, a cinema or an office is a realistic project. Parking capacity for up to five vehicles is unusual at this price level. As with any resale or recently completed property, buyers should verify the actual state of completion, appliance inventory and any remaining snagging during a physical inspection, since the listed completion date of 2026 remains indicative.
The villa is offered at a fixed asking price of €460,000. This is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build phase with a price list, so the figure quoted is the price for the property itself, sold fully furnished. For context, nearby new-build projects start at lower entry points, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, but those are typically apartments or smaller units without a private pool, garden and basement of this scale. The price should be weighed against the 208 m² of living space, the convertible basement and the golf-side setting. Completion is listed as 2026, though this date is indicative.
Daily life in this villa is organised across three levels. The ground floor combines a fitted kitchen with a living room that has a fireplace and direct access to the covered terrace and private garden, so indoor and outdoor living flow into one another for most of the year. The private pool sits within the garden, and the south orientation means the terrace receives sun through the middle of the day. Upstairs, two bedrooms each with their own bathroom open onto a 30 m² terrace with views over the sea, the surrounding golf course and the hills beyond. The basement is the most flexible part of the house: at roughly 92 m² with windows and daylight, it can become a cinema room, a fitness area, a home office, extra bedrooms or a self-contained guest apartment. Outside the plot, the immediate environment is quiet and green, defined by the fairways of Finca Cortesin and Doña Julia rather than by urban density. Estepona's beaches, marina and town centre are about ten minutes away by car, which places shops, restaurants and services within easy reach without them being on the doorstep. The location therefore suits a rhythm of privacy at home combined with short trips out for the beach, golf or dinner. Practical amenities within about two kilometres include some fifteen restaurants, six cafés, two pharmacies, primary and secondary schools, and several sports centres, so the area functions year-round rather than only in the holiday season.
The surroundings combine a quiet residential setting with good access to the coast's practical infrastructure. Within roughly two kilometres as the crow flies, residents reach Playa del Cristo and Playa Costa Natura, both sheltered beaches on Estepona's western side, while the long La Rada beach lies about 3.2 km away. Everyday services cluster nearby: two pharmacies, six cafés and fifteen restaurants sit within the two-kilometre radius, alongside two primary schools and one secondary school. For sport, Las Mesas sports centre is about 1.8 km away, with the Polideportivo El Carmen facilities just beyond it. Puerto Estepona marina, roughly 1.8 km away, adds moorings, waterside dining and evening walks to the options. Public transport in the wider area consists of seven lines serving 42 stops, which covers basic connectivity, though most residents will use a car for shopping and commuting. Gibraltar Airport is approximately 33 km away in a straight line and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport about 67 km, giving a choice of two airports for international travel.
The map shows the villa's position in Casares Costa between the Finca Cortesin and Doña Julia golf courses, with Estepona, its beaches and marina a short distance east and the hills of the interior to the north. All plotted distances are straight-line measurements.
Within the Costa del Sol, the villa occupies the western stretch between Estepona and Sotogrande sometimes called the New Golden Mile. Marbella lies about 34 km to the east, Estepona ten minutes away by car, and the border town of La Línea and Gibraltar a similar distance to the west. This positions the property closer to Gibraltar Airport than to Málaga's, which matters for buyers who travel through the UK route. The immediate area, Casares Costa, is a low-density residential and golf zone rather than a town, so its character is quieter than Estepona's centre while remaining connected to it.
Distances in this section are straight-line kilometres, and road distances will be somewhat longer. The nearest beaches, Playa del Cristo and Playa Costa Natura, lie about 1.1 km away, a short drive or a walk of roughly fifteen to twenty minutes depending on the route. Estepona town and its marina are around ten minutes by car according to the seller, and Marbella roughly thirty minutes. Golf is the defining nearby activity: the villa stands between Finca Cortesin and Doña Julia golf clubs, with Azata Golf at 2.7 km, the Golf Academy Albayt Resort at 2.9 km and Estepona Golf at 3.1 km. For longer journeys, Gibraltar Airport sits about 33 km away and Málaga Airport about 67 km; Seville and Granada are reachable for weekend trips via the regional road network. Seven public transport lines with 42 stops serve the area, but a private vehicle remains the practical choice for daily life.

The villa lies at sea level on flat terrain, with a gradient to the beach of about 1.3 per cent, so there are no significant slopes between the house and the coast. The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from 15°C in the cooler months to 25°C in summer, conditions that support outdoor living for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months. The south-facing orientation of the house aligns with this: the main terrace receives midday and afternoon sun, while the covered terrace provides shade in high summer. The surrounding landscape is a mix of golf fairways, low hills and mountain views towards the interior, giving the area its green character despite the coastal proximity. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, and the fireplace and underfloor heating cover the mild but occasionally cool winter evenings.

Beach life centres on Estepona's western shore. Playa del Cristo, about 1.1 km away in a straight line, is a sheltered cove popular with families; Playa Costa Natura at the same distance is a designated naturist beach; and La Rada, the town's main sandy beach, lies about 3.2 km away. Puerto Estepona marina (roughly 1.8 km) and the larger Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa (7.8 km) offer berths, chandleries and waterside restaurants. Golf dominates the recreation offer: the villa sits between Finca Cortesin, one of the region's championship courses, and Doña Julia Golf Club, with Azata Golf, the Albayt Resort academy and Estepona Golf all within about three kilometres. For land sports, Las Mesas sports centre is 1.8 km away and the El Carmen municipal facilities about two kilometres. Scenic viewpoints such as Mirador Playa del Cristo (1.4 km) and Mirador del Carmen (2.3 km) provide walking destinations with coastal views.

Set against comparable new-build offerings along the coast, this villa occupies a different segment. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, entry prices well below this property's fixed €460,000 asking figure. Those projects, however, primarily sell apartments and smaller units within residential complexes, where buyers share communal pools and gardens and pay community fees in exchange for managed facilities. This villa offers the opposite model: a private pool, a private garden and parking for up to five vehicles, with no shared amenities and the autonomy that brings. Its location between Finca Cortesin and Doña Julia golf clubs places it in one of the quieter, greener pockets of the western Costa del Sol, roughly ten minutes from Estepona and thirty from Marbella. Buyers weighing the two models should consider that the region records around 626 housing transactions per year in this area and a provincial median income of about €16,450, factors that shape both resale liquidity and the local rental market. The nearest airports frame the choice of travel: Gibraltar at approximately 33 km straight-line and Málaga at 67 km, the former convenient for UK-based owners, the latter offering the broader route network. Against new-build purchases, the key-ready status removes construction risk and delivery delays, the 2026 completion date listed is indicative, and the fully furnished condition reduces initial outlay, though buyers should verify the standard of finishes and the state of the convertible basement during inspection. In short, the comparison is less about price per square metre and more about the trade between resort-style communal living and a standalone property with private outdoor space in a golf-side setting.
