Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The property is situated in El Padron, a district of Estepona. The setting is urban: there are amenities in the immediate vicinity and the coastline is less than a kilometer away. This combines the accessibility of a town with the spaciousness of a rural home. The surrounding development is diverse, meaning it is not isolated, but the plot offers sufficient distance from direct neighbors for privacy.

Layout

This project is suitable for residents who need outdoor space and the possibility of keeping livestock without being secluded from civilization. The presence of a separate studio and a stable block indicates a lifestyle where living and working or hobbies converge on the same grounds. The dimensions of the main building offer enough volume for a family or couples who frequently host guests.

Project Status

Although the description does not specify a completion date for the construction, the condition of the property is described as 'Excellent'. Given the presence of mature fruit trees and a fully equipped outdoor area, this is an immediately habitable home. Any modernizations likely relate to the maintenance of existing elements such as sunshades or the terrace.

Points of Attention

This is not an apartment complex with communal services like a reception or maintenance assistance. The resident is responsible for managing the terrain of over 5,000 m². For those seeking a 'lock-and-leave' home without maintenance, this property requires an active attitude regarding garden upkeep. The urban location also implies potential traffic noise and activity nearby.

Lifestyle & Surroundings

This property suits buyers looking for a permanent home with ample outdoor space near the coast. It fits horse lovers due to the presence of a stable block and a small riding arena. Families valuing autonomy and private grounds, but not wanting to live in a remote 'finca' inland, will also find a solution here. The combination of luxury (pool, terrace) and functionality (garage, storage) makes it suitable for practical buyers who do not shy away from maintenance and yard work.

Build Quality & Finishing

The finishes show elements of quality and comfort. There are marble and wood floors, providing a warm and solid appearance. The kitchen is fully fitted, and bathrooms have bathtubs and double sinks. Air conditioning ensures temperature control, essential in this climate. Outside, materials are sun-resistant, including the tiled area around the swimming pool.

Price & Context

Price & Availability

The asking price is set at €695,000. This is a 'starting from' price indication for the entire plot including the main building and outbuildings. Compared to apartments in Estepona, this price level is higher, explained by the size of the land and unique amenities like the stables. There are no different units within this project; it concerns the sale of one specific 'Finca'.

Context & Surroundings

Living here means a mix of urban dynamism and rural privacy. Mornings start with a view of the own garden full of fruit trees, while Estepona's amenities are a short distance away. The presence of a private horse stable with a riding arena points to an active lifestyle. The distance to the beach (walking distance) makes it possible to walk to the sea in the evening—a rarity for a home with this plot size. The daily rhythm is defined by the sun on the terrace and the space to be outdoors without depending on the car for every errand.

Request Information

Location: El Padron

Living & Surroundings

The immediate environment is urban with many facilities within walking or cycling distance. There are various dining options and shops within a 2km radius (50 restaurants). The location in Estepona offers access to major urban amenities like hospitals and schools, yet the grounds themselves act as a quiet oasis. The proximity to the A-7 (via the N-340) ensures the rest of the Costa del Sol is easily accessible.

Map & Location

The map shows the position of the finca in El Padron. Notable is the short distance to the coastline (blue zone) and the presence of green zones (parks) and sports facilities in the immediate vicinity. The property boundary provides a clear demarcation with surrounding development.

Location in the Region

Estepona is a town on the western Costa del Sol, known for its beaches and authentic character. El Padron lies on the east side of Estepona, towards Marbella. This offers a strategic advantage: one is quickly in the busier Marbella (via the A-7), but lives in the relatively quieter environment of Estepona. Gibraltar Airport is even slightly closer (36 km) than Malaga, offering flexibility for travelers.

Regional Comparison

Compared to projects like Arosa in Mijas or Waterfall Residences in Fuengirola, this Estepona property offers more privacy and land. While Arosa often functions as a resort project, this is an individual home with more autonomy. The price (from €695,000) is higher than entry prices for apartments (Astra Homes from €364,000), but justified by the unique combination of rural lifestyle (Finca) with urban accessibility. The architectural style is rustic, differing from the modern, minimalist new build dominant in Fuengirola.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the maintenance of a 5,000 m² plot not too heavy?
Maintaining a plot of this size requires time and physical effort or hiring professional help. The land features various fruit trees and a meadow for horses, requiring regular management.
How far is the actual walk to the beach?
The distance is measured at 635 meters as the crow flies. The actual walking distance is longer depending on the route and physical obstacles (roads) that must be navigated. Expect a walk of 10 to 15 minutes.
Are the horse stables directly next to the house?
Yes, the property features a stable block for two horses and a small riding arena on the plot. These are part of the outdoor facilities, separated from the main residence but located on the private grounds.
What is the added value of the separate studio?
The studio with its own kitchen and bathroom provides flexibility for guests, staff, or as a home office space. This increases usability without the need to share the main living area.
Is internet and telephone available?
According to the features, a telephone line is present. In this urban region, broadband internet is generally standard available via ADSL or fiber optic.
What are the municipal taxes for a Finca?
The IBI (property tax) is calculated on the cadastral value of both the house and the plot. For a 5,000 m² plot, this amount can be significantly higher than for an apartment.
How does purchasing an existing Finca proceed?
In addition to standard checks on ownership and debts, for a plot of this size, investigating the zoning plan (Suelo Rústico vs Urbano) and water rights is crucial.
Is the location on the main road busy?
El Padron is a residential area with local traffic. The geographical location near the N-340 means quick access to the highway, but the immediate living environment is generally quiet.
