This completed (2024) ground-floor apartment is situated in Estepona, Málaga, within the coastal belt between Estepona town centre and the New Golden Mile. The property offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 125 m² of living space, listed at €549,000. The corner position includes a wraparound terrace and direct access to communal garden and pool areas. Daily amenities, supermarket (104 m), pharmacy (237 m), restaurant and café, are within walking distance, and Playa de Estepona lies approximately 524 m away. The setting is urban and consolidated, with flat terrain towards the coast and public transport available via 8 local lines.
Within Estepona's new-build supply, this apartment at €549,000 (125 m², ~€4,400/m²) sits above the entry points of comparable developments: Celestia Homes from €390,000, Isea Estepona III from €423,000 and Anna de Estepona from €450,000. Those starting prices generally apply to smaller units or higher floors without garden access; the differential here purchases the ground-floor corner format, direct private garden, wraparound terrace and fully furnished, completed condition, no off-plan waiting, no phased payments, no fit-out costs. Locationally, the property is closer to Estepona town centre and its full infrastructure (hospital 1.1 km, schools, two marinas) than most western-municipality new builds, which cluster on the New Golden Mile and around golf courses 4, 6 km inland. Buyers choosing inland golf-side developments typically trade walkable beach access for larger communal grounds; this unit keeps the beach under 800 m while retaining golf access by a short drive. Against Marbella, 25 km east, Estepona prices remain structurally lower per square metre while offering comparable municipal services, a hospital, 29 schools, marinas and a year-round population of nearly 80,000. Marbella's premium applies to its branded-resort segment and Puerto Banús proximity; Estepona's market is driven more by town amenities and beach accessibility, as reflected in its transaction volume. The western position also cuts Gibraltar airport to 36 km, relevant for UK-based owners. For rental-oriented buyers, the combination of a completed furnished unit, walkable amenities and a five-month swim season aligns with Estepona's year-round demand profile (24 hotels, 6,897 beds indicating sustained visitor flow), though individual yield depends on management and seasonality choices.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in an established urban area of Estepona, roughly 500, 800 m from the nearest beaches (Playa de Estepona, La Rada). A supermarket, pharmacy and hospital (1.1 km) are reachable on foot. Marbella is 25 km away; Málaga airport approximately 64 km by direct line. The location combines coastal proximity with access to the town's full service infrastructure.
The property suits households seeking three bedrooms with functional separation between living and sleeping areas. The ground-floor position with private garden access and communal pool serves outdoor-oriented use. A garage space, storage room and dedicated laundry area support permanent residence as well as extended stays. Fully furnished delivery reduces immediate setup requirements.
Construction status is complete, with delivery registered in 2024 (indicative). The unit is turnkey: fully fitted kitchen, bespoke wardrobes, electric shutters and integrated appliances are installed. Buyers acquire an existing, finished home rather than an off-plan commitment, which removes construction-phase risk and phased payment obligations from the purchase process.
The property is an apartment, not a villa: outdoor space is a terrace plus private garden with communal pool, not a private pool. Parking is a garage space, with no private driveway. The building operates under community rules covering garden, pool and communal areas. The listing carries a single fixed price of €549,000 with no price range or unit selection, and the sales imagery has been enhanced with AI.
This property matches several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol permanently benefits from the three-bedroom layout, six schools within 2 km, including Atlas American School of Malaga in the wider area, and hospital access at 1.1 km. A couple seeking a low-maintenance second home gains a lock-up-and-leave format: furnished, garaged, with communal garden and pool maintained by the community. Buyers who prioritise walking access will find the configuration relevant: supermarket, pharmacy, cafés, restaurants and the beach all fall within a short walking radius, reducing dependence on a car for daily errands. Public transport (8 lines, 50 stops) provides a fallback for trips into Estepona centre or along the coast. The ground-floor aspect suits those who want direct garden access without lift or stair dependency, relevant for older buyers or families with young children. It is less suited to buyers specifically seeking panoramic sea views from elevation, since the unit sits at approximately 19 m above sea level in a consolidated urban setting. Buyers wanting to avoid construction risk fit the profile as well: the building is complete, the unit is inspected and habitable, and the purchase follows a resale-style process rather than off-plan staging. Finally, the property works for owners planning rental use, given Estepona's year-round occupancy profile and 24 hotels indicating sustained visitor demand.
The unit is delivered fully furnished with a fully fitted kitchen. Documented finish elements include: reconfigured kitchen layout with additional cabinetry, a full-size integrated fridge, a dedicated laundry area and an independent storage room, a practical addition in an apartment of this size, where storage is often a constraint. Bedrooms have tailor-made wardrobes and electric shutters, allowing programmable shading and ventilation control. The principal bedroom includes a glass-enclosed terrace, effectively adding a climate-buffered room usable across seasons: closed in winter it functions as a sunroom, open in summer it extends the bedroom outdoors. The wraparound terrace on the corner position provides dual-aspect exposure, which in a south-facing unit extends usable hours into the afternoon and evening. Building-level amenities comprise a communal pool, communal garden and garage parking. The photographic record shows a modern kitchen-living area, a resort-style pool zone within the complex, a bedroom with patio access and an outdoor dining-lounge patio area. Buyers should note the listing discloses that images have been enhanced with AI; an in-person inspection of finishes, materials and actual sightlines is therefore a standard step. No specific energy certificate rating is stated in the available data. As a 2024-completed build, the property falls under current Spanish technical building code (CTE) requirements, which set minimum energy performance standards for new construction; buyers should request the actual energy performance certificate during due diligence to confirm the rating and its implications for running costs.
The asking price is €549,000 for a single completed unit, this is not a phased development with a price ladder. At 125 m² of built area with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the price equates to approximately €4,400 per m². Within Estepona's new-build supply, comparable projects list from €390,000 (Celestia Homes), €450,000 (Anna de Estepona) and €423,000 (Isea Estepona III); those figures are typically starting prices for smaller or higher units, so the premium here reflects the ground-floor corner format, garden access and turnkey furnished condition.
Daily life around this apartment is organised around short distances. The supermarket is around 100 m away, meaning grocery runs are a matter of minutes on foot. The pharmacy is 230 m further, and a health centre network (two centres in Estepona) and a hospital at 1.1 km cover medical needs. The beach functions as an extension of the living space: Playa de Estepona at roughly 524 m and La Rada at 769 m are both walkable, with a flat 2.4% gradient towards the shore, no significant climbs on foot or by bicycle. The apartment itself is arranged for a mixed indoor-outdoor rhythm. The kitchen, lounge and dining area form one open zone that connects to the wraparound terrace and garden, allowing meals and daytime living to move outside for most of the year given the local climate (average annual temperature 19.2°C, approximately 3,848 sunshine hours). The south-facing aspect extends usable terrace hours into the cooler months. The three bedrooms are set apart from the social zone, with the principal bedroom opening onto its own glass-enclosed terrace, a buffer usable in winter and summer alike. The surrounding neighbourhood counts roughly 50 restaurants, 22 cafés and 6 schools within a 2 km radius, alongside 18 pharmacies and 4 banks. Estepona records around 3,163 property transactions and a resident population of 79,621 (2025), indicating a year-round town rather than a seasonal resort. Sports infrastructure is dense: 134 facilities municipality-wide, with a municipal sports centre at 600 m and a gym at 300 m. A padel club with 11 courts opened nearby in early 2025.

Healthcare operates at two levels: local health centres in the municipality and a hospital at 1.1 km. For sport, the municipal sports centre is 600 m away and a commercial gym 300 m; the new padel club with 11 courts, spa and restaurant opened in early 2025 within walking distance.

Tourism infrastructure (24 hotels, 6,897 beds) adds seasonal vitality without the area depending entirely on it. Public transport covers the municipality with 8 lines and 50 stops. For private vehicles, EV charging is available at 1.3, 1.4 km, including a Tesla Supercharger at 8.3 km on the A-7 corridor.

Estepona's climate data indicates average annual temperature of 19.2°C with a seasonal range of roughly 15, 25°C, and approximately 3,848 sunshine hours per year, figures consistent with one of southern Europe's sunniest coastlines. The sea stays at or above 20°C for around five months, defining a swim season from roughly late May to October; the glass-enclosed terrace and south orientation extend usable outdoor living well beyond those months. The municipality sits at low elevation near the coast (the apartment at approximately 19 m above sea level) but is backed by the Sierra Bermeja, which peaks at 1,449 m at Los Reales, under an hour's drive for hiking and noticeably cooler summer air. The terrain towards the beach is flat at 2.4% gradient, so walking and cycling to the coast involve no significant climb. The fertile valley crossed by small streams historically shaped the town's agriculture; the mountains also provide shelter that moderates northern weather systems.
