This completed three-bedroom apartment is situated in the Libella development in the Selwo area of Estepona, on the western Costa del Sol. The property measures approximately 189 m² in total, of which around 136.40 m² is interior space, complemented by a 48.35 m² south-facing terrace with open views over the Mediterranean. The interior includes bespoke joinery, an open-plan living area, and a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. Technical systems comprise water-based underfloor heating, aerothermal hot water, and central air conditioning. The price is €995,000. The beach at Playa de Estepona lies within roughly 500 metres, and Málaga airport is approximately 34 km away by road.
Within Estepona's new-build and recent-completion segment, this apartment sits at the upper price band. San Lorenzo 52 enters the market from approximately €699,000, Bayside Homes from €739,000, and Las Mesas Blue Horizon from €849,000. The €995,000 asking price here reflects three factors that are measurable rather than promotional: first, the floor area, at approximately 189 m² including a 48.35 m² terrace, the unit is larger than typical two- and three-bedroom stock in the comparison set, and the implied rate of roughly €5,260 per square metre is closer to the local average once size is normalised. Second, the specification: bespoke joinery, a fully integrated kitchen, underfloor heating throughout living areas and an aerothermal hot-water system exceed standard developer fit-out. Third, the position: a documented 524, 769 metres to the nearest beaches with a supermarket within 100 metres, which is more walkable than Estepona's golf-side developments (Valle Romano, Azata) where a car is generally required for daily errands. Set against the wider region, Estepona as a whole positions between Marbella (25 km east), where per-square-metre prices for sea-view new-build run materially higher, and the more rural stretches towards Manilva and Casares to the west. The municipality's 3,163 recorded transactions and population of around 79,600 indicate a functioning year-round market with 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, relevant for resale liquidity and rental demand alike. Buyers comparing options should weigh whether the walkability, completed status and interior specification here outweigh the larger plot sizes and private pools typically available at similar budgets slightly inland, or the lower entry prices of the three comparable developments listed above.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Selwo, a residential district on the western side of Estepona, roughly 500, 800 metres from the nearest beaches including Playa de Estepona and La Rada. A supermarket is located about 104 metres away and a pharmacy 237 metres. The town centre and marina lie within two kilometres. The setting is urban with walkable access to daily amenities, while golf courses such as Valle Romano and Azata are four to five kilometres inland.
The property functions as a full-year residence or an extended-stay second home. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodate a family or visiting guests. The 48.35 m² terrace extends living space outdoors for much of the year given the south orientation. Climate systems, underfloor heating, aerothermal hot water and ducted air conditioning, support occupation across all seasons rather than summer use only.
The apartment is part of the Libella development and is documented as completed new construction in excellent condition. Delivery is listed as 2026 (indicative), which in practice means the buyer acquires a finished unit with all installations, joinery and appliances already in place. No construction risk or phasing applies; the purchase concerns a turnkey property within an established gated community.
The property has no private pool; swimming facilities are communal, comprising an outdoor pool and, via the Australy Social Club, a heated indoor pool. There is no private garden. The unit is an apartment within a gated urbanisation, so outdoor space is limited to the terrace. Parking arrangements, storage and plot details are not specified in the available data and should be verified with the seller.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A buyer relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol who wants a ready, move-in-condition home with full climate installations, underfloor heating, aerothermal hot water, ducted air conditioning, will find the unit usable from day one without renovation work. A family with school-age children benefits from six schools within a two-kilometre radius and a hospital at roughly 1.1 km, combined with the security of a gated community. Buyers seeking an extended-stay winter residence will note the indoor heated pool and gym at the social club, plus approximately 3,848 annual sunshine hours, which make off-season occupation comfortable. The property is less obviously suited to buyers who want a private pool or a detached villa with a private garden; communal facilities are the trade-off for apartment living here. It also fits buyers who value walkability: with a supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants and the beach on foot, day-to-day life can function without a car, which distinguishes it from hillside or golf-side developments where driving is routine. Finally, buyers comparing value within Estepona can use the per-square-metre rate against comparable projects to assess whether the bespoke interior and sea-facing terrace justify the premium over the €699,000, €849,000 entry prices elsewhere in town.
The interior specification is documented in detail and goes beyond a standard developer finish. The kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances, ceramic hob, ceiling extractor, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and washer-dryer, and features wood detailing with several bespoke elements designed and made specifically for this apartment. These include a custom extendable dining table and a wooden cabinet built around the concrete structural column, which has been incorporated into the layout rather than concealed. Climate engineering is a strong point of the unit: water-based underfloor heating serves the main living areas, electric underfloor heating is installed in the bathrooms, domestic hot water is produced by an energy-efficient aerothermal heat pump, and central air conditioning provides both cooling and heating. The building envelope uses aluminium frames with thermal break, double glazing and motorised insulated blinds, which contributes to thermal and acoustic comfort, an relevant factor in an urban location near the coast. Bathrooms are finished with porcelain tiling, low-profile walk-in showers with glass screens, thermostatic fittings, wall-hung toilets and vanity units with quartz worktops. The bedrooms are positioned as quieter private zones within the plan. Overall, the specification indicates a turnkey property where installations, joinery and appliances are complete, and the condition is recorded as new construction in excellent order. Buyers should still commission an independent technical survey to verify the documented systems and confirm community fees, parking allocation and storage arrangements, which are not specified in the available data.
The asking price is €995,000 for the completed three-bedroom apartment of approximately 189 m², implying a rate of roughly €5,260 per square metre including the terrace. Within Estepona, comparable new developments are currently marketed from approximately €699,000 (San Lorenzo 52), €739,000 (Bayside Homes) and €849,000 (Las Mesas Blue Horizon), placing this unit at the upper end of the local range, consistent with its larger floor area, terrace size and bespoke interior work. The property is available as a turnkey unit with appliances and fittings already installed. Additional purchase costs (transfer tax or VAT, notary, registry) are not included in the stated price.
Daily life around this apartment is organised around a walkable coastal district. The nearest supermarket is roughly 100 metres from the entrance and a pharmacy about 240 metres, which means routine shopping does not depend on a car. The beach is a short walk of around 500, 800 metres, along a mostly flat route (the measured slope towards the shore is approximately 2.4%), so evening walks and morning swims are practical without planning. The immediate district counts some fifty restaurants and over twenty cafés within a two-kilometre radius, alongside six schools, giving the area a year-round residential character rather than a purely seasonal one. The apartment itself is arranged around an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area that opens onto the 48.35 m² south-facing terrace through large glazed panels. In practice this means the terrace functions as the main daytime living room for a large part of the year: outdoor dining, reading and entertaining can take place in the open air from spring through late autumn. A distinctive interior feature is the bespoke cabinetry built around the concrete structural column in the living area, which connects the kitchen and dining zones, together with a custom-made extendable dining table, both designed specifically for this unit. The building is part of a gated development with landscaped gardens, a communal outdoor pool, bicycle storage, controlled access and perimeter video surveillance. Owners also have access to the Australy Social Club with a heated indoor pool, gym, sauna and hammam, which adds usable facilities for the cooler months and for daily exercise. The municipality records around 79,600 inhabitants and a full calendar of local services, so the area does not shut down outside the summer season.
The Selwo district places daily amenities within a short walking radius. A supermarket at approximately 104 metres and a pharmacy at 237 metres cover routine needs on foot, supported by the wider provision within two kilometres: roughly fifty restaurants, twenty-two cafés, eighteen pharmacies, four banks, six schools and two parks. Healthcare access includes two health centres in the municipality and a hospital at approximately 1.1 km. For exercise beyond the community facilities, Better Bodies gym is about 300 metres away and the Polideportivo Municipal around 600 metres, part of 134 recorded sports facilities in the municipality. The terrain is essentially flat towards the coast, about 2.4 per cent gradient, so walking and cycling are realistic modes of transport; the area is described as reachable on foot or by bicycle for most needs. Public transport is available with eight lines and fifty stops in the municipality. The environment is urban but not high-density central: the town centre, Puerto Estepona and the marina lie within two kilometres, providing restaurants and seafront promenades, while the immediate street pattern is residential. Outside the summer months the area retains its residential population, and tourism infrastructure, 24 hotels and around 6,900 beds spread across the municipality, concentrates on the seafront rather than in the residential interior streets.
The map shows the apartment in the Selwo district of Estepona, with the Mediterranean coastline immediately to the south.

Estepona records an average annual temperature of about 19.2°C within a 15, 25°C band, and approximately 3,848 sunshine hours per year, one of the higher figures for the Iberian peninsula. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, extends to roughly five months. The apartment sits at approximately 19 metres above sea level on essentially flat terrain, so no significant stair climbing or steep access routes are involved. Inland, the municipality rises into the Sierra Bermeja, which peaks at 1,449 m at Los Reales, close enough for cooler excursions in summer and visible from higher vantage points in the district. The municipality covers 137 km² across a fertile valley crossed by small streams. For residents, this combination means mild winters, hot but sea-tempered summers, and the practical option of mountain air within a short drive. Views from the apartment are documented towards the sea, with panoramic scope and a lake visible in the surrounding landscape.
