This key-ready townhouse is situated in the Riviera Beach development in Cancelada, part of Estepona on the western Costa del Sol. The property offers 120 m² of built living space across a multi-level layout, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outdoor space includes a private terrace, a garden area, a solarium and a private pool. A garage is included, and the home is sold fully furnished after a recent renovation. The fixed asking price is €556,000. Playa del Saladillo lies approximately 0.8 km away as the crow flies.
Within the western Costa del Sol, this townhouse competes in a segment between new-build apartments and detached villas. Its fixed price of €556,000 positions it above the entry-level new-build market: Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona starts at €321,000, Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000, and Aquamar in Torre del Mar at €269,950. Those projects, however, are from-price listings for apartments in early phases, whereas this property is a completed, furnished townhouse with a private pool, garden, solarium and garage, amenities that in new-build developments are typically reserved for higher price tiers or communal variants. The location adds a differentiating factor. Cancelada sits closer to both the beach (0.8 km) and the golf cluster around Flamingos and El Paraiso than most new-build projects on the eastern Costa del Sol, such as those in Torre del Mar. The immediate amenity density, 24 restaurants, four pharmacies, three racket clubs and two international schools within reach, reflects the mature infrastructure of the Estepona, Marbella corridor, something newer developments further east are still building towards. Marbella, 16 km away, sets the upper benchmark for the region, while Estepona town provides municipal services. Against this backdrop, the property's profile, resale, renovated, land and pool included, suits buyers comparing total space and privacy per euro against off-plan alternatives, with the trade-off of a 1970 construction origin rather than contemporary building standards. Market liquidity in the area, with 3,466 transactions per year, supports resale potential, though individual outcomes depend on condition and timing.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Cancelada is a residential district within the municipality of Estepona, positioned between the coast and several golf courses. The nearest beach, Playa del Saladillo, is 0.8 km away in a straight line. Three golf clubs sit within 1.7 km, and Marbella lies 16 km away as the crow flies. The A-7 coastal road connects the area to surrounding towns.
The house is configured for permanent or seasonal occupancy: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully fitted kitchen, air conditioning, a fireplace and WiFi. Private outdoor space comprises a terrace, a solarium, a garden area and a pool. The property is sold fully furnished, which reduces the practical steps involved in moving in.
This is a resale property, originally completed in 1970 and recently renovated. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the home can be occupied immediately after purchase. No further construction phases or delivery schedules apply, and no off-plan waiting period is involved.
The property is a townhouse within an urbanisation, not a detached villa, and the built surface is 120 m² with a private-use plot of 162.50 m². The building dates from 1970; renovation status is stated as recent, but no certificates or technical documentation are included in the available data. There is no information on community fees or shared facilities.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a key-ready home without an off-plan waiting period will find the renovation status and furnishing directly relevant: purchase, notary transfer and occupancy can follow in short succession. Households needing three bedrooms within a moderate budget for the western Costa del Sol may compare this townhouse against apartments of similar price closer to Estepona centre, weighing the private pool and garden against communal alternatives. Second-home buyers who value proximity to the beach, under one kilometre straight-line to Playa del Saladillo, and to golf courses will find the location profile matches a holiday-residence pattern: morning rounds at Flamingos Golf (1.4 km), afternoons at the coast, evening meals within the village. Families with school-age children have two international schools within reach: The International School of Estepona at 1.6 km and Creators International School at 6.9 km. Buyers prioritising space and privacy over new-build specifications form another group. The 1970 construction origin means the structure predates modern building norms; the recent renovation addresses finishing and installations, but buyers relying on contemporary insulation or energy-performance standards should verify these during a technical inspection. The property is less suited to buyers requiring a lift, large plot sizes or a development with extensive communal facilities, as none of these are part of the offer.
The home has been recently renovated, and the features list indicates the current condition rather than the original 1970 state. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the property is delivered fully furnished, which includes moveable items as shown in the listing photographs. Climate control is provided by air conditioning units and a fireplace, allowing both mechanical cooling in summer and wood-burning warmth in the cooler months, when average temperatures drop to around 12°C. Connectivity is covered by WiFi. Outdoor surfaces include a private terrace and a solarium; the pool area is finished with artificial grass, a practical choice that removes irrigation and mowing from the maintenance routine. The private-use plot measures 162.50 m², and the built area is 119.77 m², so the house uses its footprint efficiently across multiple levels. This layout separates day and night zones but also means internal stairs are part of daily movement, relevant for buyers with mobility considerations. Utilities connected are electricity and drinkable water. What the data does not specify is the state of the roof structure, window frames, insulation values or the age of the technical installations beyond the general renovation label. Given the 1970 construction origin, a technical survey remains the standard step to establish what the renovation covered. The south orientation supports passive solar gain in winter and long hours of usable terrace time, consistent with the regional average of roughly 19.3°C per year.
The asking price is fixed at €556,000. This is an existing, resale property, so the price applies to the specific home as described: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 120 m² built, private pool, solarium, garage and full furnishing included. No price list or unit variation applies. For context, nearby new-build projects start lower, Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, though those are different property types and locations. Buyers should account for purchase costs and taxes in addition to the asking price.
Daily life in this townhouse revolves around a multi-level layout that separates sleeping, living and outdoor areas. Mornings can begin on the south-facing terrace or in the small private garden, both oriented towards the sun path that dominates the Costa del Sol. The solarium on the upper level adds a second outdoor zone, suitable for the warmer hours or for evening use, with sea views reported from the property. The private pool sits on the plot, surrounded by artificial grass according to the available photographs, which limits garden maintenance. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the house is delivered furnished, so the practical threshold for use, whether as a residence, a second home or a rental property, is low. Cancelada itself functions as a service village for the surrounding urbanisations. Within 2 km there are 24 restaurants, several cafés, four pharmacies, two banks, a park and a dentist. Two health centres serve the wider area. This density of everyday amenities means most daily errands can be done locally without driving into Estepona town or Marbella. The rhythm of the area is coastal-residential: quiet outside the summer months, busier in July and August when tourism peaks. With 25 hotels and nearly 7,000 beds in the surroundings, the population of visitors fluctuates seasonally, which affects traffic and restaurant occupancy. A car remains the practical mode of transport; four public transport lines and 21 stops exist, but coverage is oriented towards the coastal corridor rather than the interior villages.
The immediate surroundings combine village-scale services with a dense concentration of leisure infrastructure. Within 2 km: 24 restaurants, four pharmacies, two banks, two cafés, one park and a dentist. Two health centres serve the area, and education options include 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the wider region, plus the two international schools already mentioned. Sports facilities cluster unusually close: Racket Club Villa Paderna at 0.7 km, Club de Tenis at 0.8 km and RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 1.5 km. Golfers can reach three courses, Flamingos Golf (1.4 km), Tramores Golf (1.6 km) and El Paraiso Golf Clubhouse (1.7 km), within a few minutes' drive. A Tesla Supercharger station sits 1.5 km away, relevant for electric-vehicle owners. The area's elevation is 30 m above sea level with a moderate gradient of 3.2% towards the beach, meaning the walk or cycle to the coast is manageable for most people. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, the nearest marina, lies 8.8 km away. Public transport comprises four lines with 21 stops, usable for coastal trips, though a car remains the default for daily flexibility.
The map shows the property's position in Cancelada relative to the coastline, the three nearby golf courses and the road network connecting Estepona and Marbella. The concentration of beaches, sports clubs and schools within a two-kilometre radius illustrates how locally oriented daily life here can be.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cancelada occupies a position on the western side of Estepona municipality, in the corridor between Estepona town and Marbella, 16 km to the latter as the crow flies. This places the property in the so-called New Golden Triangle, the stretch of coast where Estepona, Benahavís and Marbella converge. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, the area is characterised by golf courses, established urbanisations and a mix of permanent residents and second-home owners. Algeciras (51 km) and Málaga (63 km) mark the regional boundaries in either direction. Housing market activity in the area is substantial, with 3,466 transactions per year recorded, indicating a liquid market for resale and new-build properties alike.
Playa del Saladillo, the nearest beach, is 0.8 km away as the crow flies; two more beaches, Playa del Sol Villacana (1.0 km) and Playa de Guadalmansa (1.5 km), extend the choice along this stretch of coast. Road distances will be longer than straight-line figures. Marbella lies 16 km away, Estepona town is the municipal centre, and Málaga city is 63 km distant. Two airports serve the region: Gibraltar (GIB) at approximately 44 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at approximately 54 km, both straight-line. This dual-airport access is a practical advantage for international owners, as flight availability can be compared between both hubs. Driving times depend on the coastal road and motorway conditions, which are busiest in July and August. For daily needs, the 2 km amenity radius covers groceries, pharmacies, banks and dining, so a car is needed mainly for regional trips rather than errands.

The climate data indicates a monthly average temperature range of 12°C to 26°C, with an annual mean of 19.3°C, the pattern of a Mediterranean coastal zone with mild winters and warm but not extreme summers. The swimming season lasts six months, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, which typically spans late May through October in this part of Andalusia. At 30 m elevation, the property sits on the lower coastal shelf, so no significant climbs separate the house from the beach; the 3.2% gradient is moderate. The surrounding landscape is a mix of residential urbanisations, golf course greenery and agricultural remnants typical of the Estepona west corridor. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, and the reported 32 local public holidays per year reflect the Spanish calendar of national, regional and municipal observances, a factor that influences shop opening hours and the rhythm of local life.

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 density of coastline within walking or short driving distance defines the recreational profile of the location. Golf adds a second layer: Flamingos Golf (1.4 km), Tramores Golf (1.6 km) and El Paraiso Golf Clubhouse (1.7 km) make the area one of the denser golf clusters on the Costa del Sol. Racket sports are equally close, with three tennis and padel clubs within 1.5 km. A public swimming pool facility, Parque Antena, is 1.8 km away. For maritime recreation, Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 8.8 km offers mooring, dining and shopping. Tourism infrastructure in the area, 25 hotels and 6,923 beds, supports a full range of dining and leisure options year-round, though it also means the population swells noticeably in the summer season.
