This five-bedroom townhouse stands in Estepona's port area on the Costa del Sol, with a fixed asking price of €895,000. Built in 1989 and completed to a key-ready standard, the 181 m² home offers sea and marina views across three floors, plus a separate studio apartment with independent access. The property lies within walking distance of the beach, shops and everyday services, and forms part of a gated community with communal pool, gardens, garage and clubhouse. The nearest supermarket is about 104 metres away and the beach at Playa de Estepona roughly 524 metres.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house sits on the beachfront beside Estepona Port, in an urban environment where amenities are within walking distance. A supermarket lies about 104 metres away, a pharmacy 237 metres, and the beach at Playa de Estepona roughly 524 metres. The town centre and marina are close, and Málaga's airport is 34 km away as the crow flies, meaning actual travel by road takes longer.
The layout serves households needing multiple bedrooms: two on the lower floor, one with en-suite bathroom, and two more on the upper floor sharing a bathroom. A living-dining room with fireplace opens onto a private terrace with sea views, and a solarium provides open views over the sea and port. The separate studio apartment, with its own kitchen and bathroom, suits guests or independent use. Air conditioning and fitted wardrobes are present.
This is an existing home, completed in 1989, not a new-build project. It is described as key-ready, in a good to excellent state of preservation, with marble floors and an alarm system. Any completion or renovation dates relating to the original construction are historical facts rather than indicative planning. Buyers should expect the characteristics of a late-1980s building that has been maintained.
The property does not include a private pool; the pool within the urbanisation is communal. Parking is via a communal garage rather than a private garage. There is no private garden; gardens are shared community spaces. No lift is mentioned, and the layout uses internal staircases across floors, which affects accessibility. The building dates from 1989, so construction standards differ from current new-build regulations.

This house suits several recognisable situations. A family needing five bedrooms within walking distance of schools, six schools lie within 2 km, and everyday services would find the layout practical, with the en-suite bedroom offering privacy for parents or guests. Buyers seeking a second home by the sea may value the fact that no car is needed for the beach, shops or restaurants, and that Málaga airport is a single drive away. Those with regular visitors can use the studio apartment as independent guest quarters. Owners interested in rental income have two options within one property: the main house and the self-contained studio, each with separate access. The communal pool and gardens suit households that want outdoor facilities without maintaining a private pool. Conversely, some situations fit less well. Buyers wanting a private pool, private garden or private garage should note these are communal here. Households requiring step-free access throughout should consider the staircases connecting all three floors. Buyers focused on new-build energy standards should account for the 1989 construction date. The urban port setting means activity varies with the season and with evening trade along the waterfront, quieter in winter, busier in summer. For permanent residents who work in Marbella or Málaga, the A-7 corridor is accessible, with Marbella 25 km away in a straight line. Investors comparing against new-build alternatives should weigh the older construction against the beachfront position, which is scarce in Estepona's current supply.
The house was completed in 1989 and is described as being in a good to excellent state of preservation. Interior finishes include marble floors throughout, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, and air conditioning for climate control alongside a working fireplace in the living room. The kitchen is fully equipped and connects to the dining and living areas through a serving hatch, a layout typical of the period that keeps the kitchen functional but partially separated from the social space. The main floor combines the living and dining room in one space opening onto the covered terrace. The bathroom provision is three full bathrooms: one en-suite on the lower floor, one separate on the lower floor, and one shared between the two upper bedrooms. A bathroom with both tub and shower appears in the photographic material. The solarium forms the top level, providing an open terrace with direct views over the sea and port. The studio apartment has its own kitchen, living-dining room and bathroom, making it genuinely self-contained rather than a converted room. Security measures include an alarm system and the gated community entrance. As with any property of this age, the technical systems, plumbing, electrics and insulation, predate current building regulations, and buyers typically commission a technical survey to assess their condition. No energy performance data is included in the available material. The communal elements, pool, gardens, garage and clubhouse, are maintained through the community of owners, and participation in the clubhouse is included with the property.
The asking price is fixed at €895,000, this is an existing home, not a project with a price list, so no 'from' pricing applies. The price reflects the property's position on the beachfront beside the port, its five bedrooms and 181 m² of living area, and the inclusion of a separate studio apartment with independent access. For comparison, new-build projects elsewhere in Estepona currently start from €639,000 (Marine Hills), €685,000 (One Estepona) and €739,000 (Bayside Homes), though these are typically smaller units rather than direct equivalents. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status. Community fees, IBI and other annual costs can be requested through the information form.
Daily life here is organised around proximity: the beach, the port, the supermarket and the pharmacy all sit within a short walk. The house occupies a south-facing position on the seafront, which means the terrace and solarium receive sun throughout the day, and the living room looks directly over the water and the marina. The rhythm of the area follows the port, mornings see fishermen and café traffic, evenings bring restaurant visitors along the waterfront. Because the town centre is close, schools, banks and public transport stops are reachable on foot or by bicycle. The separate studio apartment changes how the property can be used: it can serve visiting family, or generate rental income through its independent access. The gated community with security entrance adds a layer of control over who enters the grounds. The communal pool and gardens function as shared outdoor space, since the house itself does not have a private garden. Practical errands require no car, the supermarket at roughly 104 metres is closer than most residents would park anyway. The internal layout, spread over three levels connected by staircases, separates sleeping zones: two bedrooms below, two above, with the main living floor between them. The enclosed observatory terrace off one upper bedroom offers a quieter, enclosed space with direct beach views. Leisure facilities nearby include sports centres at 300 to 600 metres, the municipal sports ground, and two marinas within about 2 km. Golf courses lie roughly 4 to 6 km away as the crow flies, so a car remains useful for golf and for airport journeys.
The immediate surroundings are urban and service-dense. Within 2 km there are roughly 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, 18 pharmacies, 4 banks, 6 schools and 2 parks, which means almost all daily needs are covered on foot. Healthcare access is strong: a hospital lies about 1.1 km away and the municipality operates two health centres. For sports, three centres sit within 600 metres, including the municipal sports ground, and the municipality counts 134 sports facilities in total. The port is the social anchor of the neighbourhood, Puerto Estepona at 1.6 km and Puerto Deportivo at 1.8 km, both reachable on foot along the seafront. Public transport covers 8 lines with 50 stops, so travel within Estepona does not require a car. Cycling and walking are practical given the flat terrain, the gradient to the beach is 2.4 per cent. A car becomes useful for regional trips: Marbella is 25 km away in a straight line, Algeciras 42 km, and Málaga 73 km. Electric vehicle owners can charge at stations 1.3 to 1.4 km from the house, with a Supercharger 8.3 km away. The setting is not quiet-rural; it is a working town centre by the sea, with activity that rises in the tourist season.
The map shows the house in relation to Estepona's seafront: the beach roughly 500 m away, the port and marinas within a 20-minute walk, and the town's shops and schools immediately behind the coastal strip. Golf courses appear 4 to 6 km inland. Marbella, Algeciras and Málaga frame the wider regional picture.

Estepona sits on the western Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga, 25 km from Marbella, 42 km from Algeciras and 73 km from Málaga city in straight-line terms. With 79,621 inhabitants recorded by the INE for 2025, it functions as a full-year town rather than a seasonal resort, supported by 19 primary schools, 10 secondary schools and two health centres. The housing market records around 3,163 transactions per year, indicating an active resale and new-build environment. This property's position, beachfront beside the port, inside the town fabric, distinguishes it from the golf-estate and hillside developments that dominate supply elsewhere in the municipality.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. The beach at Playa de Estepona lies 524 m away, La Rada 769 m, and Playa del Cristo 1.6 km, all walkable. The nearest supermarket is 104 m and the pharmacy 237 m, so daily shopping requires no vehicle. The hospital sits 1.1 km away. Golf courses are the main outlier: Valle Romano Golf at 4.1 km, Azata Golf at 4.4 to 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.1 km, all best reached by car. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is 34 km from the location as given in the accessibility data, a drive measured in tens of minutes rather than a short hop, while Gibraltar airport lies roughly 36 km in a straight line to the south. Within town, 8 public transport lines and 50 stops cover the municipality, and the flat terrain makes cycling a realistic alternative for commuting and shopping.

Estepona records an average annual temperature of 19.2 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 15 °C in the coolest months to 25 °C in summer. The swimming season spans about five months, during which sea temperatures stay at or above 20 °C, consistent with the beachfront position of this house. The town lies at 19 m above sea level, and the route to the beach has a gradient of only 2.4 per cent, effectively flat. Inland, the Sierra Bermeja rises to 1,449 m at Los Reales, giving the municipality a mountainous backdrop within a fertile valley crossed by small streams. This combination, a low-lying coastal strip close to high mountains, shapes the local climate: mild winters, warm summers and reliable sunshine hours typical of the western Costa del Sol. For residents, the practical effect is outdoor use of terraces and the solarium for most of the year, with the south orientation maximising exposure.

The seafront promenade connects these beaches and continues to the marinas, Puerto Estepona and Puerto Deportivo, which combine moorings with waterfront dining. Golfers have several options within a short drive: Valle Romano Golf (4.1 km), Azata Golf (4.4 km) and Estepona Golf (6.1 km). Sports facilities near the house include three centres within 600 metres, and the municipality offers 134 sports facilities overall, from paddle courts to swimming pools. Two viewpoints, Mirador del Carmen (1.2 km) and Mirador Playa del Cristo (2.0 km), provide short walking destinations. The town's 24 hotels and nearly 7,000 tourist beds indicate the scale of seasonal visitor activity in the area.

Estepona's current new-build supply clusters in projects such as One Estepona (from €685,000), Bayside Homes (from €739,000) and Marine Hills (from €639,000). Those prices are starting figures for units that are typically apartments or smaller townhouses, so they do not compare directly with this €895,000 asking price for a five-bedroom, 181 m² townhouse with a separate studio. What the new-build projects offer is modern construction, current energy standards and developer warranties; what this property offers is a beachfront position beside the port that new supply rarely matches, since most new development in Estepona sits inland or on hillside plots. The trade-off is explicit: a 1989 building with period detailing, the serving hatch, the marble floors, the fireplace, versus contemporary specifications. Within the town, location value is strongly tied to distance from the seafront. A supermarket within 104 metres, a pharmacy at 237 metres and the beach at 524 metres place this house at the centre of Estepona's most service-dense zone. Further inland, toward the golf courses at 4 to 6 km, properties gain quiet and space but lose walkability. Marbella, 25 km east in a straight line, commands higher average prices for comparable seafront positions; Algeciras, 42 km west, is lower-priced but industrial in character. Estepona's market, roughly 3,163 transactions per year and a population approaching 80,000, supports liquidity for well-located resale homes. For buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives, the decision effectively comes down to position and floor area against construction age, with a technical survey being the standard step to assess the older building's condition.
