This detached villa is situated in Arroyo Judío, a residential area on the western side of Estepona, approximately 500 metres from the beach. Completed in 1995 (indicative), the property offers 413 m² of built space on a plot of 1,800 m², with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool, and a covered garage with an adjoining adaptable space. The house benefits from a south-west orientation, air conditioning, a fireplace, and mountain views from an upper terrace. Estepona town centre, with its full range of services, is within walking distance, and Málaga Airport is roughly 64 km away by road.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in an urban yet relatively green setting within Estepona's municipal boundaries, roughly 19 m above sea level on flat terrain. Playa de Estepona lies about 524 m away and La Rada under 800 m, while a supermarket is 104 m from the property. The setting combines proximity to the sea with views towards the Sierra Bermeja foothills.
The property suits households seeking space and privacy within a consolidated town: 413 m² of living area, a 1,800 m² plot, private pool, barbecue area, and mature gardens. Interior layouts include fitted wardrobes, a storage room, and a laundry room. The adjoining garage space allows customisation for work, hobbies, or additional parking.
This is not a new-build development. The villa was completed in 1995 (indicative) and is described as being in good condition, though partial updating would be reasonable to expect. Buyers should budget for modernisation works depending on personal standards, particularly in kitchen and bathroom finishes typical of that construction period.
The property does not offer sea views, a communal pool, a gym, underfloor heating, or a modern A-class energy rating. It is a single resale villa rather than a gated community, so there are no on-site shared facilities or 24-hour security. The construction dates from 1995, so it does not include recent-build technical installations as standard.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to Estepona year-round will find six schools within a 2 km radius, a hospital at 1.1 km, and enough interior space to absorb a household comfortably, with a garden and pool for children. Buyers seeking a villa that does not require a car for daily life will value the 104 m supermarket distance and the flat, walkable streets. Those wanting a project, a property they can modernise to their own standards over time, will find the 1995 construction and the adaptable garage-adjacent space provide scope for personalisation without structural intervention. It also suits households that prioritise plot size and privacy over sea views; the mountain, country, garden, and pool views define the outlook rather than the Mediterranean. Retirees wanting a single, manageable property within a real town, close to healthcare and amenities, fall within the same profile. It fits less well for buyers wanting a gated community with shared facilities, contemporary energy performance, or frontline-sea positioning, those requirements point towards new-build alternatives elsewhere in Estepona. Investors should note the resale character and modernisation needs when modelling returns against the town's 3,163 recorded property transactions.
The villa was built in 1995 (indicative) and is recorded as being in good condition, with an open-plan living room and a modern kitchen forming the principal interior. Climate control includes hot and cold air conditioning and a fireplace, covering both summer cooling and winter heating, relevant given average annual temperatures of 19.2°C with seasonal variation. Fitted wardrobes are present in the sleeping areas, and satellite TV and WiFi are installed. External features include a covered terrace, a private terrace on the upper level, and air-conditioning units visible on the exterior elevations. The property contains 413 m² of built area including 30 m² of terraces, a storage room, and a basement area currently used for items such as golf clubs, plus a laundry room with appliances. Photography indicates a functional, lived-in standard of finish rather than a recently renovated one: bedroom decor and fittings suggest partial updating would be worthwhile for buyers expecting contemporary specifications. The covered garage with its adjoining open space is a structural asset that can be absorbed into the garage or converted for other uses. No energy performance certificate rating is provided; given the construction date, buyers should verify insulation standards, window glazing, and the electrical installation during technical due diligence. Overall, the technical base is sound by the standards of mid-1990s villa construction in the area, with modernisation works a matter of buyer preference rather than necessity.
The asking price is €1,075,000. This positions the property above comparable new-build townhouses in Estepona, Las Mesas Blue Horizon (from €849,000), Anna de Estepona (from €795,000), and Royal Park Residence (from €799,000), which is consistent with the larger plot, detached format, and established gardens. The price reflects a completed 1995 villa of 413 m² on 1,800 m² of land; buyers comparing with new-build product should factor in modernisation costs against new-build pricing and specifications. Prices are stated as asking figures; availability and final terms are subject to negotiation.
Daily life here centres on the combination of a generous private plot and genuine urban walkability. The villa sits in Arroyo Judío, an established residential pocket of Estepona where the supermarket is 104 m away, a pharmacy 237 m, and a hospital 1.1 km. That density of provision means routine errands, morning bread, pharmacy runs, school drop-offs, can realistically be done on foot or by bicycle, which is uncommon for villas of this size on the Costa del Sol. The house itself is arranged around a garden setting with mature trees, a private pool, and a barbecue area, so outdoor living occupies a substantial part of the day for most of the year given the region's roughly 3,848 annual sunshine hours. The south-west orientation means the terraces receive afternoon and evening sun, which suits late-day meals outdoors. Internally, the open-plan living room with modern kitchen forms the main daytime space, while the upper terrace with independent access and mountain views functions as a quiet retreat. The covered garage plus adjoining adaptable room offers practical flexibility: workshop, storage, or extended parking. A laundry room and separate storage room support household logistics. The rhythm of the area is that of a working Andalusian town rather than a resort: activity year-round, 50 restaurants and 22 cafés within a 2 km radius, and the beach within a ten-minute walk. Slope to the sea is minimal at roughly 2.4%, so walking and cycling are realistic options for most residents.
The immediate environment combines residential calm with dense practical amenity. Within a 2 km radius there are 50 restaurants, 22 cafés, 18 pharmacies, four banks, six schools, and two parks, alongside two marinas, Puerto Estepona at 1.6 km and Puerto Deportivo at 1.8 km. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the municipality and a hospital 1.1 km from the villa. Sports infrastructure is substantial: 134 facilities across the municipality, with Better Bodies gym 300 m away and the Polideportivo Municipal 600 m distant. Public transport comprises eight lines and 50 stops, giving car-free access to other parts of town feasible, though a car remains practical for regional trips. The slope towards the beach is 2.4%, effectively flat, so the 524 m walk to Playa de Estepona is easy. Estepona itself has 79,621 residents (INE, 2025), which supports year-round commerce rather than seasonal-only opening. Tourism infrastructure, 24 hotels and roughly 6,900 beds, is moderate relative to town size, meaning the summer population increase is present but not overwhelming. EV owners have charging points at 1.3, 1.4 km, including a Zunder-GALP station and a Tesla Supercharger 8.3 km away.
The map shows the villa's position in Arroyo Judío, west-central Estepona, with the beach 524 m to the south and the town's full amenity network within walking distance. Golf courses appear 4, 6 km inland, and the Sierra Bermeja forms the northern horizon.

Within Estepona, this villa competes with new-build product priced from €795,000 to €849,000, Anna de Estepona townhouses, Royal Park Residence, and Las Mesas Blue Horizon. Those offerings buy contemporary specifications, energy performance, and community facilities; this property instead buys land and volume: 413 m² built, a 1,800 m² plot, mature gardens, and a private pool, at roughly €2,600 per built square metre before negotiation. Against Marbella 25 km east, where detached villa pricing typically starts considerably higher, Estepona remains a lower-entry market for this format, supported by 3,163 recorded transactions and a resident population of 79,621 that sustains year-round services. The villa's distinguishing trait regionally is its walkability: a 104 m supermarket and 524 m beach access are rare for detached properties with this plot size, which more commonly sit in hillside or inland urbanisations requiring a car for every trip. The trade-offs are equally concrete, a 1995 construction date without a stated energy rating, no sea view, and no communal facilities. For buyers prioritising space, privacy, and town-centre proximity over new-build finishes, the value proposition is defensible; for buyers wanting turnkey condition and modern efficiency, the new-build comparables, or a renovation budget added to this asking price, form the honest benchmark.
