This key-ready apartment forms part of LIFE 3, a recently completed residential development in the Las Mesas area of Estepona, on the western Costa del Sol. The home offers 115 m² of built living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a spacious terrace of approximately 90 m² oriented to the south-west. Views extend over the sea, the town and the mountains. The development was completed in 2026 and handover to owners is under way. The asking price is fixed at €675,000, including a private parking space and a storage room in the underground garage.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Las Mesas, an expanding residential area on the western side of Estepona, within an urban environment where shops and services are within walking distance. The nearest beach, Playa de Estepona, lies roughly 524 m away as the crow flies, with La Rada around 769 m. A supermarket is about 104 m from the complex and a pharmacy about 237 m.
The home is configured for low-maintenance coastal living: two bedrooms with two bathrooms including an ensuite, a fully fitted kitchen with island, underfloor heating throughout, aerothermal heating and cooling, and a covered private terrace of some 90 m². Communal facilities include a swimming pool, gym and coworking area within a gated complex with lift access.
Construction at LIFE 3 is complete, with completion registered in 2026 as an indicative date. Handovers to owners are currently taking place, and this particular unit is brand-new and has never been occupied. Viewings are possible from 2 October. The buyer therefore purchases a finished home without a construction waiting period.
The property is sold unfurnished. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. The plot is urban without a private garden, and outside space is limited to the terrace and solarium. A car remains practical for reaching golf courses and the airport, and the apartment is a mid-floor unit rather than a penthouse.

This home fits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a lock-up-and-leave second home on the Costa del Sol will value the key-ready status: no construction phase, no waiting, and a gated complex with lift, garage and storage that can be left empty for months between visits. The walking-distance setting, supermarket at roughly 104 m, pharmacy at 237 m, beach at about 524 m, reduces dependence on a hire car during shorter stays. Remote workers form a second group. The on-site coworking area and the town's year-round services, including 134 sports facilities and two health centres in the municipality, support longer stays, while Málaga airport is reachable for regular trips north. Buyers relocating permanently with one child may also find the configuration workable: two bedrooms, two bathrooms and six schools within two kilometres cover the essentials, and the terrace effectively doubles the living area in the warmer half of the year. The home is less obvious for households needing three or more bedrooms, for buyers wanting a private pool and garden, or for those seeking a quiet rural setting, this is an urban environment with the activity that implies. Investors comparing against new-build from-prices should note that this unit offers immediate rental readiness, since no completion risk or delivery delay applies.
The technical specification points to a build standard above entry level. Heating is delivered through underfloor heating across the whole apartment, paired with an aerothermal system that provides both heating and cooling; this combination is increasingly common in newer Costa del Sol developments and reduces reliance on standalone air-conditioning units, although hot/cold A/C is also listed. The kitchen is fully fitted with stainless-steel appliances and an island unit, visible in the listing photography, and the bathroom includes a bathtub alongside a modern vanity unit. The terrace is covered and includes a solarium area, with sliding doors connecting it to the living space. Electric blinds and an entry phone are installed, and the complex is gated with underground parking, where the private space and storage room sit. The block has lift access. The development consists of three blocks with communal areas described as modern and well maintained, including the pool, gym and coworking space. It is worth noting that the unit is sold unfurnished, so the fitted kitchen is included but loose furniture is not. Because handovers began recently, the buyer receives a property that has never been occupied, meaning appliances and installations are unused. As with any recently completed development, the standard new-build guarantees under Spanish law apply to the structure and installations; completion of the building is registered for 2026 as an indicative date. Buyers wishing to verify finishes in person can arrange viewings from 2 October.
The asking price is fixed at €675,000 for this completed, never-occupied apartment. That price includes a private parking space in the underground garage and a storage room. The property has 115 m² of built space plus a terrace of approximately 90 m², with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. As a key-ready home, the purchase involves no staged construction payments; the transaction follows the standard resale-style process despite the new-build condition. The completion date of 2026 is indicative. For context, nearby new-build projects in Estepona, Isidora Living Las Mesas (from €519,000), Acqua Gardens (from €524,600) and MarAlto (from €479,000), advertise from-prices for units that may differ in size, floor level and terrace area.
Daily life around this apartment is shaped by its position inside the town rather than on its edge. Las Mesas is one of Estepona's fastest-growing neighbourhoods, and the practical effect is that errands do not require a car: the supermarket sits about 104 m away, a pharmacy about 237 m, and within two kilometres there are some fifty restaurants, twenty-two cafés, eighteen pharmacies and six schools. The beach at Playa de Estepona is a short stroll of roughly 524 m, and La Rada, the town's main sandy beach, lies about 769 m as the crow flies. The morning routine can therefore be built around walking: coffee in town, a swim before the heat builds, groceries on the way home. The apartment itself supports this rhythm. The 90 m² south-west facing terrace catches afternoon and evening sun, which suits late lunches outdoors and sunset views over the sea and mountains, a consequence of the orientation rather than a marketing claim. Inside, underfloor heating and an aerothermal system regulate temperature year-round, meaning the home is usable through the mild Andalusian winter as well as summer. Two bathrooms, one of them ensuite, allow a household or visiting guests to share the space comfortably. The communal pool, gym and coworking area extend the usable footprint of the property beyond its 115 m², which matters for buyers who work remotely or want exercise options without driving. In the evening, the marina at Puerto Estepona is about 1.6 km away for waterfront dining. The town of Estepona itself, with roughly 79,600 inhabitants, retains services through the winter months, so the neighbourhood does not empty outside the tourist season.
The immediate surroundings are urban and service-dense. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data lists fifty restaurants, twenty-two cafés, four banks, two parks and eighteen pharmacies, alongside six schools. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in Estepona, with the nearest hospital about 1.1 km away. Daily shopping requires no driving: the closest supermarket is roughly 104 m from the complex. For exercise, Better Bodies gym lies about 300 m away and the Polideportivo Municipal about 600 m, with the communal gym in the complex itself. The sporting infrastructure of the municipality counts 134 facilities. Culturally, the Mirador del Carmen viewpoint is about 1.2 km away, and the marinas at Puerto Estepona (about 1.6 km) and Puerto Deportivo (about 1.8 km) provide waterfront walking and dining. Public transport consists of eight lines with fifty stops, which covers local movement, though most residents will find a car convenient for regional trips, golf courses start at around 4.1 km and Málaga airport sits 34 km away as the crow flies. The area is flat, with a gradient of about 2.4% toward the sea at La Rada, so walking and cycling are practical. Outside the summer months the neighbourhood remains populated year-round, as Estepona functions as a working town of nearly 80,000 residents rather than a seasonal resort.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Estepona occupies the western stretch of the Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga, positioned between Marbella (about 25 km straight-line to the north-east) and Algeciras (roughly 42 km south-west). Málaga city, the provincial capital with some 579,000 inhabitants, lies about 73 km away. This placement gives the town a quieter character than Marbella while keeping its services, golf courses and airport connections within reach. Gibraltar airport, at approximately 36 km, serves as a secondary flight option. Within Estepona, the Las Mesas district sits toward the western side of town, close to the sea and within walking distance of the centre and marina.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa de Estepona, is about 524 m away, La Rada about 769 m and Playa del Cristo about 1.6 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies roughly 34 km from the property per the project data, with Gibraltar airport an alternative at approximately 36 km. Golf is a short drive: Valle Romano Golf at about 4.1 km and Azata Golf at about 4.4 km, with Estepona Golf further out at around 6.1 km. Everyday services cluster tightly, supermarket 104 m, pharmacy 237 m, hospital 1.1 km, and an EV charging point sits about 1.3 km away, with a Tesla Supercharger roughly 8.3 km out. Public transport runs on eight lines with fifty stops locally. By car, Marbella is about 25 km straight-line, Algeciras 42 km and Málaga city 73 km. Within the town itself, most errands are manageable on foot or by bicycle given the flat terrain.

Estepona records an average annual temperature of about 19.2°C, with monthly averages ranging from roughly 15°C in winter to 25°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, lasts around five months. The town lies at low elevation, about 19 m above sea level around the centre, and the route to the beach is essentially flat at a 2.4% gradient, which suits walking and cycling. Inland, the municipality covers 137 km² and rises into the Sierra Bermeja, whose peak of Los Reales reaches 1,449 m; this backdrop explains the mountain views from the apartment's south-west terrace and offers hiking options within a short drive. The fertile valley crossed by small streams gives the surrounding countryside a greener character than some parts of the coast. For residents, the practical reading is mild winters without heating stress on the aerothermal system, warm summers tempered by the sea breeze, and roughly thirty-four local public holidays per year that mark the Andalusian calendar.

Within Estepona's new-build supply, this apartment competes with several named projects. Isidora Living Las Mesas advertises from €519,000, Acqua Gardens from €524,600 and MarAlto from €479,000. All three are from-price entries, meaning the advertised figures typically correspond to smaller or lower units, with prices rising for floor level, orientation and terrace size. This listing, at a fixed €675,000, is instead a completed and specified home: 115 m² built, a terrace of roughly 90 m², a parking space and storage room included, and no delivery risk. The comparison therefore depends on what a buyer values. For purchasers who want certainty, a finished unit, a known floor level, a measured terrace and immediate availability for viewings from 2 October, the fixed price reflects that. For buyers with flexibility on timing and specification, from-price projects may offer lower entry points but involve construction-stage purchasing and the delivery schedules that entails. Locationally, Las Mesas sits on the town side of Estepona rather than in the golf-and-hills belt west of the town, where projects like Valle Romano-area developments cluster. That trade-off favours walkability: this apartment reaches a supermarket in about 104 m and the beach in roughly 524 m, whereas more outlying developments usually require a car for daily errands in exchange for more land and quieter surroundings. Regionally, Estepona's positioning between Marbella (about 25 km) and Algeciras (about 42 km), with around 3,163 housing transactions per year recorded in the municipality, indicates an active resale and new-build market that supports liquidity relative to smaller coastal villages. Median provincial income of €16,450 provides context for local purchasing power, though international buyers dominate this segment of the market. Buyers weighing this home against from-price alternatives should compare total cost including garage and storage, which are included here but sometimes priced separately in new-build listings.
