This semi-detached house stands in El Padron, a residential area on the western side of Estepona on the Costa del Sol. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 140 m² of living space across three floors, built in 1991 and since fully renovated. The asking price is fixed at €750,000. The beach at Playa del Padron lies roughly 600 metres away as the crow flies, and the house enjoys a south and east orientation with sea, mountain and urban views. A communal pool and gardens form part of the urbanisation, and the setting combines suburban calm with proximity to Estepona's town facilities.
Within the immediate Costa del Sol context, this property competes both with resale townhouses and with new-build developments further along the coast. The comparable new-build projects in the dataset give a useful benchmark: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. These are from-prices for new construction, typically for apartments or smaller units rather than a 140 m² three-bedroom townhouse with a 35 m² terrace, so a direct per-square-metre comparison requires care. At €750,000 fixed, this property prices at roughly €5,357 per m² of interior space, which sits above new-build entry levels but reflects three factors: the renovation has already been completed and paid for, the location within walking distance of the beach at 0.6 km carries a premium on the western Estepona coast, and the property delivers immediate availability without a construction phase of one to two years. Geographically, Torre del Mar and Mijas sit on the eastern side of Málaga province and the central coast respectively, meaning longer airport transfers for buyers using Gibraltar in the west, whereas El Padron lies 36 km from Gibraltar and 64 km from Malaga-Costa del Sol, a reasonable compromise between the two. Within Estepona itself, the El Padron area is generally quieter and lower in density than the town centre near La Rada beach, while being less expensive per square metre than the New Golden Mile villa zones between Estepona and Marbella. Buyers weighing this house against new-build alternatives should also consider that a 1991 structure carries different maintenance expectations than a newly delivered development, balanced here by the completed renovation and the mature, established urbanisation with communal pools and gardens. The strong local amenity base, with six schools and an international school at 8.1 km, supports year-round residential demand, which matters both for owner-occupiers and for those considering resale or rental value over time.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
El Padron sits in the coastal strip between Estepona town centre and the Guadalmansa area, about 4.8 km by direct line from the marina. The beach at Playa del Padron is 0.6 km away, with Playa de Punta Plata at 0.8 km. The setting combines an urbanisation character with countryside and forest nearby, and Marbella lies 25 km away in a straight line.
The layout suits a household needing three double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, an en-suite master bathroom and a guest toilet. The ground floor living space is large enough to create a fourth bedroom if required. The roughly 35 m² covered terrace with its lemon tree extends daily living outdoors, and air conditioning plus new PVC windows support year-round comfort.
This is an existing property, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 1991, and the house has since undergone a full renovation, including new PVC windows and a modernised kitchen. The property is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase, subject to the usual notarial process and any completion dates agreed during negotiation.
The property does not include a private pool; swimming facilities are communal within the urbanisation. No private garage or dedicated parking space is listed in the available data. Built in 1991, the structure predates current new-build regulations and energy standards. The top-floor layout is only partly documented in the source material, so details there should be verified during a viewing.
This house fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol year-round would find the three double bedrooms, en-suite arrangement and the option to convert part of the ground floor into a fourth bedroom practical, with six schools within 2 km including an international school 8.1 km away. A couple seeking a low-maintenance holiday home near the sea may value the 0.6 km distance to the beach and the communal pool arrangement, which removes private pool upkeep. Buyers who prioritise outdoor living will appreciate the covered, south-and-east-facing terrace, usable from breakfast through the afternoon. It also suits someone wanting a renovated property without undertaking works: the renovation has been completed, the kitchen is fitted with built-in appliances, and the house can be moved into directly. The property is less obvious for buyers requiring a private pool, a private garage or a large private garden, as these are not part of the offer. Those wanting a brand-new build with modern energy standards should note the 1991 construction date, notwithstanding the renovation. Households dependent on public transport will find eight bus lines and fifty stops in the area, which supports local mobility, though a car remains the practical choice for regional travel given the distances to Marbella, 25 km as the crow flies, and Málaga at 73 km.
The renovation forms the core of the property's technical story. The windows have been replaced with new PVC frames throughout, which improves insulation, reduces street noise and lowers the air conditioning load compared with the original 1991 glazing. The kitchen is modern and fitted with built-in appliances, arranged in an open-plan configuration with the dining and living zones; the layout allows space for a central island if the buyer wishes to adapt it. Interior images confirm a contemporary kitchen-dining-living arrangement with a sectional sofa, indicating that the renovation extended to the main living areas rather than stopping at the wet rooms. The 140 m² living area is distributed over three floors, which in a 1991 townhouse typically means solid construction with load-bearing walls and a conventional layout rather than the open column structures of newer builds. Floor finishes, bathroom tiling and electrical installations should be inspected during a viewing, as the source data does not specify every element; the overall condition is listed as excellent. Climate control consists of air conditioning, which covers both cooling and, in most installations of this type, heating through the cooler months, when average monthly temperatures range from 15°C in winter to 25°C in summer. Fitted wardrobes in all three bedrooms provide storage without additional furniture. The covered terrace extends the usable area by roughly 35 m² and is sheltered from direct rain and midday sun. Community facilities, including the pool and gardens, are maintained through the urbanisation, and their condition is best assessed on site. As with any resale of this age, a technical survey can verify plumbing, roofing and the structural state of the top floor.
The asking price is fixed at €750,000. This is an existing, completed home rather than a new-build development with a price list, so no from-price applies. At 140 m² of living space, the price corresponds to roughly €5,357 per square metre of interior area, before accounting for the terrace, which adds approximately 35 m² of usable outdoor space. The property is key-ready, so there is no construction-phase waiting time. As with any resale purchase, the final terms, timing and any included furnishings are matters for negotiation between buyer and seller. Additional purchase costs in Spain typically include transfer tax, notary and registry fees, which fall outside the asking price. Availability can be confirmed through the contact form.
Daily life in this house revolves around its three-floor layout and its relationship with the outdoors. The ground floor functions as the social core: an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area of generous proportions, with direct access to a covered terrace of around 35 m² where the lemon tree provides shade and a touch of the Mediterranean garden character. Because the terrace is covered and the orientation is south and east, it receives morning and midday sun, making it usable across most of the year rather than only in high summer. The first floor holds the private quarters: three double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, served by two full bathrooms including an en-suite to the master bedroom. A guest toilet on the ground floor avoids unnecessary stair use for visitors. The top floor adds further flexible space. The urbanisation itself offers a communal pool and gardens, visible in the listing imagery, which serve as the outdoor extension for households that do not want the maintenance burden of a private pool. El Padron as an area sits between the coastal road and the beach, which means the rhythm of the day can include a short walk to Playa del Padron, a coffee in one of the roughly 21 cafes within 2 km, or an evening meal at one of around 50 restaurants in the same radius. The presence of six schools within 2 km gives the location a year-round, family-oriented character rather than a purely seasonal one. Air conditioning handles the summer months, while the renovated windows improve insulation for the milder winter periods. The area is described as suburban with countryside, commercial and village elements nearby, which in practice means a quiet residential base with services within a short drive or walk.
El Padron sits at roughly 20 metres above sea level with a moderate 3.3% gradient towards the beach, meaning the walk to Playa del Padron at 0.6 km is manageable on foot for most residents. Estepona's marina area and town beaches lie about 4.8 km away in a straight line, close enough for an evening trip without the density of living in the town centre. Within a 2 km radius the data lists 50 restaurants, 21 cafes, 18 pharmacies, 4 banks, 6 schools and 2 parks, which indicates a well-served everyday environment where groceries, medical needs and dining out do not require long journeys. The setting is described as suburban with elements of countryside, forest and a commercial area nearby, giving the neighbourhood a mixed residential character rather than a purely tourist one. Marbella, with nearly 148,000 inhabitants, lies 25 km by direct line and functions as the nearest major urban centre for specialist shopping and healthcare. The proximity to forest areas offers walking options inland, while the coast provides the beach routine. Public transport comprises eight lines with fifty stops, usable for local movement, though the distances to regional destinations make a car the practical primary means of transport. The nearest charging points for electric vehicles are an Iberdrola station 1.8 km away and Zunder and Tesla facilities at 4.5 and 5.0 km respectively.
The map shows El Padron's position on the coastal strip west of Estepona town, with the beach line 0.6 km to the south and the Sierra Bermeja foothills rising to the north. Marbella lies east along the coast, and Gibraltar sits to the west, both reachable via the A-7 coastal road.

El Padron occupies the western coastal section of Estepona municipality, roughly midway between Estepona town and the New Golden Mile developments that run towards Marbella. Marbella, the region's second city with some 148,000 inhabitants, lies 25 km to the east, while Málaga and its metropolitan area sit 73 km along the coast. Gibraltar is 36 km to the west. This places the property in the quieter, lower-density part of the Costa del Sol, where townhouses and villa urbanisations dominate, while retaining Estepona's full municipal services. Compared with the eastern Costa del Sol around Torre del Mar or Mijas, the western strip around Estepona trades proximity to Málaga airport for a more established international residential community and closer golf and marina access.
Beaches are the strongest accessibility asset: Playa del Padron at 0.6 km, Playa de Punta Plata at 0.8 km and Playa del Angel at 1.8 km, all measured as the crow flies, with actual walking distances slightly longer. Golfers reach Club de Golf El Coto de la Serena at 4.4 km, Flamingos Golf at 6.5 km and Tramores Golf at 7.5 km. The marinas of Puerto Deportivo de Estepona and Puerto Estepona are both 4.8 km away by direct line. The International School of Estepona is 8.1 km distant. Sports facilities include Paintball Estepona at 0.8 km, Centro Deportivo José Ramón de la Morena at 2.8 km and a municipal sports centre at 2.9 km. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar at approximately 36 km straight-line and Malaga-Costa del Sol at approximately 64 km, the latter being the principal international gateway, with road travel times considerably longer than the direct distance suggests. Alicante airport at 455 km is not practical for regular use. Public transport covers the locality with eight lines, but car ownership remains the standard for regional mobility here.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.1°C, with monthly averages ranging from 15°C in the coolest months to 25°C at the height of summer, which is characteristic of the western Costa del Sol. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around four months, roughly June through September, although sea swimming outside that window remains possible for those tolerant of cooler water. The elevation of 20 metres above sea level keeps the property level with the coastal strip, avoiding the hillside climbs found further inland around Estepona's upper districts. The moderate 3.3% gradient to the beach means no significant slope on foot routes. The proximity to forested areas adds hiking options, and the mountain views recorded for the property confirm the backdrop of the Sierra Bermeja range to the north. The microclimate at this elevation tends to be mild in winter, supporting year-round terrace use on the south-facing side, though summer afternoons benefit from shade, which the covered terrace provides.

The three nearest beaches, Playa del Padron at 0.6 km, Playa de Punta Plata at 0.8 km and Playa del Angel at 1.8 km, form the everyday coastal options; the source data does not specify Blue Flag status for these particular stretches, so that detail should be verified separately. La Rada, Estepona's principal town beach, is also recorded at 0.6 km by straight-line distance. Recreational variety is well covered: three golf courses within 7.5 km give players multiple options at different price points, and the marinas at 4.8 km provide berths, waterfront dining and water sports access. For organised sport, the Centro Deportivo José Ramón de la Morena at 2.8 km and the municipal sports centre at 2.9 km offer facilities within a few minutes' drive, while Paintball Estepona at 0.8 km caters to group recreation. The two parks within 2 km supply green space for families with children. Taken together, the recreation profile leans towards beach life and golf, with sufficient indoor and organised sports infrastructure to support year-round living rather than purely seasonal occupation.
