This two-bedroom townhouse is located in Cancelada, a residential district on the western side of Estepona, roughly 0.8 km from Playa del Saladillo as the crow flies. The property was completed in 1989 and is offered key-ready, with a fixed asking price of €433,000. It sits within a gated community that includes a communal swimming pool, gardens and tennis and paddle courts. The home measures 142 m² of living space with two bathrooms, a private terrace with views over the pool, and a south-west orientation. Street parking is available in the urbanisation.
Positioned in Cancelada on the New Golden Mile, this townhouse competes in a different segment from the new-build projects commonly marketed along the Costa del Sol. Comparable new developments include Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000). Those projects offer modern construction and current energy standards, but they sit further from the beach or in less established settings, and their 'from' prices apply to smaller entry-level units. This property, by contrast, offers a fixed price for a specific, fully furnished 142 m² home inside a gated community with pool and sports facilities, 0.8 km from the sand. Within Estepona itself, the western strip around Cancelada is characterised by low-rise urbanisations and golf infrastructure, whereas the eastern side toward Marbella carries higher price points aroundPuerto Banús and the Golden Mile proper. Marbella, 16 km away, recorded a population of nearly 148,000 and functions as the commercial and cultural hub of the western coast. The local market recorded 3,466 housing transactions per year, indicating active resale liquidity. Buyers weighing this property against new build should weigh the trade-off directly: a 1989 construction with period features, mature gardens and an established community on one side; contemporary specifications, warranties and developer payment terms on the other. Median provincial income of €16,450 provides context for local purchasing power, though coastal property prices operate in a largely separate, internationally driven market segment.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an established urbanisation between Cancelada village and the coast, within walking distance of local services. The nearest beach, Playa del Saladillo, lies 0.8 km away in a straight line, with a moderate gradient of 3.2% between the house and the shore. Several golf courses and tennis clubs sit within 2 km, and Marbella is 16 km away as the crow flies.
The home offers 142 m² of living space across two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, a living room with fireplace, a fully fitted kitchen and a private terrace oriented to the south-west. Marble flooring, fitted wardrobes and full furnishing are included. Communal facilities comprise a swimming pool, gardens, and tennis and paddle courts maintained by the community.
This is an existing resale property, completed in 1989 and described as being in good condition. It is available key-ready, meaning no construction phase or waiting period applies. Buyers should account for the age of the building when assessing renovation needs and long-term maintenance. Delivery is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
The property has no private garden or private pool; outdoor space is limited to a terrace, and recreational facilities are shared with the community. There is no private garage; parking is on the street. With two bedrooms and 142 m² of living space on a very small plot, the home suits smaller households. The 1989 construction date means the building predates current build standards.
This property fits a recognisable set of situations. A couple seeking a manageable second home on the Costa del Sol will find two en-suite bedrooms practical for guests, with communal maintenance removing the burden of pool and garden upkeep. Buyers who prioritise walking access to the beach over sea-front premiums may find the 0.8 km distance to Playa del Saladillo, combined with the village amenities of Cancelada, sufficient to reduce car dependence for daily errands. Tennis and paddle players benefit from courts inside the complex plus three racket clubs within 1.5 km, a concentration that is uncommon even along this coast. Retirees or part-year residents may value the gated setting and the fact that the home is delivered furnished and key-ready, allowing use within the first season. The property is less obvious for larger families: with two bedrooms, capacity is limited, and there is no private garden for children. Buyers seeking a modern energy-efficient new build will also need to look elsewhere, as the house dates from 1989. Finally, those wanting a private pool and private parking should note that both facilities here are communal or street-based. In short, the home suits a household that values shared sports facilities, walkable amenities and an established neighbourhood over new construction and private outdoor space.
The interior reflects the standards of late-1980s Spanish residential construction, subsequently maintained and described as being in good condition. Floors are marble throughout, a material typical of the period and valued for its durability and coolness in summer. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms, a layout that adds privacy for residents and guests alike. The kitchen is fully fitted with appliances, and the property is sold fully furnished, which reduces initial setup costs for buyers intending to use it immediately or rent it out. The living room contains a working fireplace, a feature suited to the cooler winter months when average temperatures drop to around 12°C. Technical documentation such as an energy performance certificate is not stated in the available data, and buyers of a 1989 property should commission a technical survey to assess insulation, wiring, plumbing and window performance, areas where pre-1990 builds generally differ from current regulations. The community maintains the shared gardens, pool and tennis and paddle courts, so the condition of communal areas is a shared responsibility reflected in community fees. The overall picture is that of a well-kept, functional home with period characteristics rather than contemporary build specifications.
The property is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €433,000. This is not a new-build price list; the figure applies to this specific townhouse, which is key-ready and sold fully furnished. The price reflects a 142 m² home with two en-suite bathrooms in a gated community with pool and sports facilities, positioned close to the beach and golf courses of the New Golden Mile. For comparison, new-build projects in the wider region start from around €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, though these concern different property types and locations. Availability is immediate, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life in this urbanisation follows a quiet, residential rhythm typical of the Estepona coast. The townhouse sits in a gated complex where the pool, gardens and courts form the shared heart of the community, so neighbours cross paths regularly rather than retreating behind high hedges. Mornings can begin on the private terrace; with its south-west orientation, the strongest light arrives from midday onwards, making the terrace and living room most usable in the afternoon and evening. The living room connects visually to the patio and the pool area, which keeps the ground floor bright. On foot, Cancelada village is a short walk away and provides the working infrastructure of everyday life: supermarkets, restaurants, a pharmacy, a post office and schools. For exercise, the communal tennis and paddle courts are within the complex itself, and three further racket clubs sit within 1.5 km. The beach at Playa del Saladillo, 0.8 km away as the crow flies, is reachable on foot in a matter of minutes, with a moderate slope of 3.2% on the return. The surrounding area is firmly established rather than under development, so the rhythm of the neighbourhood changes mainly with the seasons: busy and international in summer, considerably quieter outside the tourist months. A car is useful for reaching Marbella, 16 km away, or the golf courses further along the coast, but the immediate daily needs of groceries, dining and schooling can largely be met locally.
The immediate surroundings combine village-scale services with coastal leisure infrastructure. Within 2 km, the data lists 24 restaurants, four pharmacies, two banks, two cafés, a park and a dentist, which covers routine needs without driving. Healthcare is available at two health centres in the area, and education options include 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, plus The International School of Estepona at 1.6 km and Creators International School at 6.9 km. Sports facilities cluster noticeably around the property: Villa Paderna Racket Club at 0.7 km, Club de Tenis at 0.8 km and RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 1.5 km. Golfers can reach Flamingos Golf at 1.4 km, Tramores Golf at 1.6 km and El Paraiso Golf Clubhouse at 1.7 km. Public transport consists of four lines serving 21 stops in the area, which supports car-free living for local trips, though regional travel remains easier by car. Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina lies 8.8 km away for boating and waterfront dining. The setting is urbanisation-style residential: quiet in winter, busier in the summer months when tourism peaks, with 25 hotels and nearly 7,000 beds in the wider area indicating a seasonal visitor economy.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cancelada occupies a position on the New Golden Mile, the coastal strip between Estepona and Marbella that is characterised by established villa urbanisations, golf courses and beachside dining rather than high-rise development. Marbella lies 16 km to the east and Estepona town a short drive to the west, placing the property between the two principal centres of the western Costa del Sol. The mix of international schools, golf clubs and racket sports facilities within a 2 km radius marks the area as a settled international residential zone. Málaga, the regional capital at 63 km, and Gibraltar at 44 km frame the wider catchment. Housing activity in the area is substantial, with 3,466 transactions per year recorded in the surrounding market.
Distances in this section are straight-line (as the crow flies); actual road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa del Saladillo, is 0.8 km away, with Playa del Sol Villacana at 1.0 km and Playa de Guadalmansa at 1.5 km. Marbella lies 16 km to the east, Estepona town within a short drive, and Málaga city 63 km away. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar (GIB) at roughly 44 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at roughly 54 km, giving a choice of arrival points depending on flight availability. Public transport in the locality comprises four lines with 21 stops, sufficient for connections along the coast. An electric-vehicle Supercharger is located 1.5 km away, which matters for EV owners. By car, the A-7 coastal road provides the main artery to Marbella, Estepona and beyond. Parking at the property is on the street, so no reserved space is guaranteed.

The location sits at 30 m above sea level with a moderate gradient of 3.2% toward the beach, meaning the walk to the shore involves a gentle but noticeable incline on the return. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.3°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season extends to about six months, during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20°C, roughly May through October. Winters are mild enough for year-round occupation, and the fireplace in the living room covers the cooler evenings of December and January. The elevation keeps the property above any direct coastal exposure while remaining close enough for daily beach use. The combination of a south-west orientation and the regional climate means the terrace receives long hours of afternoon and evening sun, particularly in summer when daylight extends well into the evening.

Three beaches lie within 1.5 km: Playa del Saladillo at 0.8 km, Playa del Sol Villacana at 1.0 km and Playa de Guadalmansa at 1.5 km. This stretch of the Estepona coast consists of broad sandy beaches backed by low-rise urbanisations, generally quieter than the beaches of central Marbella. Recreational provision is unusually strong: within the gated complex itself there is a communal pool plus tennis and paddle courts, and a public swimming pool facility, Parque Antena, sits 1.8 km away. Golfers have three courses within 1.7 km, Flamingos Golf, Tramores Golf and El Paraiso Golf, making the location practical for regular play rather than occasional holidays. For sailing and marina life, Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 8.8 km away. The tourism infrastructure in the area (25 hotels, roughly 6,900 beds) indicates that dining and leisure options remain open through the season, while the residential base of Cancelada keeps local businesses running year-round.
