This completed studio apartment is situated in the Seghers area of Estepona, Malaga, approximately 500 metres from the beach on foot. The property measures 45 m² built (38 m² useful), has one bathroom, a south orientation and a covered terrace with sea views. The building dates from 1974 and the unit has been recently refurbished, including new appliances and a new electric water heater. An attic mezzanine level adds usable space. The asking price is €255,000, with the property sold fully furnished. Urban amenities, including a supermarket roughly 100 metres away, are within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an established urban district of Estepona, a town of approximately 79,600 inhabitants. Playa de Estepona lies about 524 metres away and La Rada about 769 metres. A supermarket is roughly 104 metres from the door, a pharmacy 237 metres and a hospital 1.1 km. The setting is urban, close to shops, schools, the port and the marina.
The dwelling functions as a compact studio layout for one or two occupants. It provides a combined living/sleeping space, a separate bathroom, a fitted wardrobe, a covered south-facing terrace with sea views and an additional mezzanine level accessed by stairs. Air conditioning covers both hot and cold operation. The property is on the first floor of a building without a lift.
This is not a new-build development. The building was completed in 1974 and the unit has since been recently renovated and refurbished. Works include a new washing machine, a new fridge and a recently installed electric water heater. The property is finished and ready for immediate occupancy, sold fully furnished with household items included.
The property does not offer a bedroom separation typical of larger units, a private pool, a private parking space, a storage room, a lift, a garden or a communal leisure complex. Access to the upper mezzanine is via stairs. Total built area is 45 m², which limits space for households larger than two people. No garage is included.

The property fits a recognisable set of situations. A single person or couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal home within walking distance of shops and the beach matches the profile directly, particularly where the 45 m² footprint and mezzanine stairs are acceptable. Buyers wanting a fully furnished second residence that can be used immediately, without renovation work or furnishing costs, will find the unit ready on day one. Seasonal or long-term rental investors form a third group: the price point sits below comparable new-build entry prices in the town, and the furnished condition removes set-up costs. It also suits buyers who prioritise location over communal amenities, this is a town apartment with no pool, gym or landscaped grounds, so those expecting a resort-style complex should look elsewhere. Households with children, occupants needing bedroom separation, or those requiring lift access will find the studio layout and first-floor walk-up unsuitable. A car is not necessary for daily life here, which suits buyers who prefer to walk or cycle; however, owners travelling from abroad will note Malaga airport is roughly 64 km by straight line, about an hour's drive. Ageing buyers planning long-term residence should weigh the stairs to the mezzanine and the absence of a lift. In short, this is a pragmatic purchase for proximity-focused buyers rather than a lifestyle-complex purchase.
The interior has been recently renovated and refurbished, though the exact scope of works beyond the listed items is not documented. Specified upgrades include a new washing machine, a new fridge and a recently installed electric water heater, replacements that address the most failure-prone components of an older dwelling. Air conditioning provides both hot and cold climate control, covering year-round temperature management in a region with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C. The bathroom contains a shower and sink unit, visible in the property photography. The kitchen is arranged as a bar-area layout with the refrigerator integrated. The fitted wardrobes provide storage within the compact footprint, supplemented by the attic/mezzanine level reached by an internal staircase, which adds usable floor area beyond the main 38 m² useful space. The building envelope itself dates from 1974, which carries implications: thermal insulation standards of that period are lower than current regulations, energy performance will depend heavily on the electric water heater and air conditioning rather than a modern building system, and no energy certificate rating is recorded in the available data. Buyers should arrange a technical inspection to assess electrical installations, plumbing and window quality, the typical areas of concern in coastal properties of this age, where salt air accelerates wear. The covered terrace extends the usable living space and is oriented south, giving sheltered outdoor use through much of the year. Overall, the finishing level reads as practical and recently updated rather than premium; the specification list focuses on functional replacements rather than high-end materials.
The asking price is €255,000 for a completed, fully furnished 45 m² studio with one bathroom. This equates to roughly €5,600 per built square metre. For comparison, new-build developments in Estepona currently start from around €269,000 (Etherna Homes 2), €304,000 (Etherna Homes 1) and €320,000 (Aby Upper). This unit is priced below those entry points, reflecting its age, size and lack of communal facilities, while offering immediate availability and a central coastal position. The property is ready for use or rental from the date of purchase.
The studio sits in the Seghers neighbourhood, an established residential area within walking distance of Estepona's seafront. Daily life here is largely car-free: a supermarket is roughly 100 metres away, a pharmacy 237 metres, and the nearest beach about 500 metres. The surrounding two-kilometre radius contains around 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, four banks, six schools and 18 pharmacies, meaning groceries, errands and dining out rarely require more than a short walk. The rhythm of the area follows the coast: mornings can be spent on the south-facing terrace, which receives daylight through most of the day, and the beach promenade functions as the natural extension of the living space. Playa del Cristo, a sheltered family beach, lies about 1.6 km away, while Puerto Estepona and the marina are at a similar distance. Sports facilities are dense: a gym roughly 300 metres away, the municipal sports centre about 600 metres, and 134 sport facilities counted across the municipality. Outside the summer months the neighbourhood retains a resident population, so cafés, bakeries and services continue operating year-round rather than closing seasonally. The building itself is unremarkable 1970s Spanish coastal construction; the practical value lies in the location and the refurbished interior rather than in communal amenities, which are limited. Parking in the street near the building is generally available, according to the listing. For occupants who work remotely or seasonally, the mix of urban services, flat terrain (2.4 per cent slope to the beach) and a bus network of eight lines and 50 stops makes daily mobility straightforward without a vehicle.
Estepona is a working town of about 79,600 inhabitants (2025) on the western Costa del Sol, positioned between Marbella (25 km) and Algeciras (42 km), with Malaga city 73 km to the east. The municipality recorded 3,163 property transactions, indicating an active local market. Tourism infrastructure is moderate, 24 hotels with roughly 6,900 beds, meaning the town receives visitors without being dominated by resort tourism. Education provision includes 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, and healthcare is delivered through two health centres, the nearest of the major facilities about 1.1 km from the property. Within a two-kilometre radius of the studio, the amenity density is distinctly urban: approximately 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, 18 pharmacies, six schools and two parks. Public transport comprises eight lines serving 50 stops, connecting the neighbourhood to the wider municipality. The terrain is flat, the property sits at about 19 m elevation with a 2.4 per cent slope toward the sea, so walking and cycling are realistic modes of transport. Puerto Estepona (1.6 km) and the Puerto Deportivo marina (1.8 km) provide nautical services and waterfront dining. For electric vehicle owners, a Zunder-GALP charging point is 1.4 km away and a Tesla Supercharger 8.3 km away. Sports facilities are abundant: 134 counted across the municipality, with a Better Bodies gym 300 metres from the door and the Polideportivo Municipal 600 metres away.
The map shows the property in central Estepona, a short walk inland from the seafront promenade. The beach, supermarket, pharmacy and sports facilities cluster within a kilometre, while golf courses sit 4, 6 km inland toward the Sierra Bermeja foothills. Marbella lies 25 km east along the coast.

Against current new-build supply in Estepona, this studio occupies a distinct market position. Etherna Homes 2 starts from €269,000, Etherna Homes 1 from €304,000 and Aby Upper from €320,000, all newer constructions with modern specifications, communal facilities and energy standards, but generally further from the town's historic centre and beachfront. This unit, at €255,000, is the lowest-priced option among the four and the only one available immediately with no construction or delivery period, which removes completion risk entirely. What it gives up is equally concrete: 1970s building fabric, no lift, no pool, no allocated parking and a 45 m² studio footprint against the larger typologies typical of new developments. Regionally, Estepona sits between Marbella (25 km) and Algeciras (42 km) and is generally positioned as more affordable than Marbella or central Marbella-adjacent zones such as Estepona's New Golden Mile developments, where prices per square metre run higher. The town's 3,163 recorded property transactions indicate liquid market activity, and the 2025 population of roughly 79,600 supports year-round rental demand rather than purely seasonal occupancy. For buyers weighing old-centre proximity against new-build comfort, the practical trade-off is clear: this property buys walkable beach access, mature infrastructure and immediate yield potential; the new-build alternatives buy modern energy performance, communal amenities and warranties. Both segments operate in the same municipality with the same climate, about 3,848 sunshine hours annually, and the same access to Malaga airport at roughly an hour by road. Gibraltar airport, 36 km to the west, adds a secondary flight option uncommon elsewhere on the Costa del Sol.
