A key-ready, second-floor apartment in Terrazas del Sol, a quiet residential urbanisation in the Selwo area between Estepona and Marbella. The home measures 100 m² built (88 m² useful), faces south and offers open frontal views of the Mediterranean. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a glazed Lumon terrace with balcony, air conditioning, fitted wardrobes and an included garage space. The complex has a lift, communal pool, children's pool and gardens. Asking price: €343,000. Completed in 2002.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this resale apartment occupies a distinct position compared with the new-build competition. Comparable new developments include Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) further east, Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) in the central coast segment, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), the closest geographic competitor, in the same municipality. At a fixed €343,000, this home is priced at or slightly above the new-build entry price in Estepona itself, which buyers should weigh carefully: the premium buys an established urbanisation with mature gardens, a proven residential community, genuine frontal sea views and an included garage space, whereas new-build pricing typically starts at base configurations with extras such as parking, terraces and fitted options added separately. Location-wise, Selwo's western Estepona corridor differs from Mijas and Torre del Mar: it is lower-density, golf-oriented and quieter, with Marbella 19 km away and Estepona town under 9 km. The local market shows consistent activity, with 3,163 housing transactions per year in the area, and the surrounding tourism base of 24 hotels supports year-round services. Buyers prioritising Mediterranean views, immediate availability and a settled neighbourhood over new construction and developer warranties will find this profile different from the newer projects; buyers wanting modern energy performance and phased payment structures will find the new-build alternatives more aligned. The nearest flight gateways are Gibraltar at roughly 42 km and Málaga at 57 km straight-line, comparable with other western Costa del Sol locations.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits in Selwo, on the coastal strip west of Estepona. Playa de Guadalmansa lies 2.6 km away as the crow flies, reachable on a gradient of only 1.9%. Marbella is 19 km away in a straight line; Estepona's marina is roughly 9 km. Three golf courses sit within 3.4 km, and the nearest supermarket-level amenities cluster along the coast road.
The layout suits two-person households or small families: two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite), a living room with kitchen, and both a terrace and balcony. The south orientation maximises daylight, while shutters, mosquito screens and a glazed Lumon terrace extend usable outdoor time across seasons. A garage space and lift add everyday practicality.
This is not a new-build project but a resale apartment completed in 2002 and described as key-ready. One bathroom has been refurbished with a walk-in shower. The building has a lift and communal gardens. No construction risk applies; the purchase concerns an existing, immediately habitable home in an established urbanisation.
The property offers 88 m² of useful space over two bedrooms, no third room or separate study. There is no private pool; swimming is communal. It is a second-floor unit, not a penthouse or ground floor with direct garden access. The data provides no storage room, and detailed information on community fees and annual taxes is not stated here.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. A retired or semi-retired couple seeking a manageable, single-level home with sea views and low maintenance will find the 88 m² useful area, communal pool and garage practical. A second-home buyer wanting a lock-up-and-leave coastal base benefits from the secure urbanisation, lift access and glazed terrace that extends the season. Small families can use the second bedroom and the children's pool, with an international school within 5 km. Golf players get three courses within a 3.4 km radius, making the location a natural base for regular play. The property is less obvious for buyers who want a private pool, a large garden or three-plus bedrooms, and for those who intend to live without a car, as daily amenities sit beyond comfortable walking distance. Buyers seeking brand-new construction with modern energy performance should also note the 2002 build date, although the refurbished bathroom, air conditioning and updated terrace glazing show targeted reinvestment in the property. For year-round residents, the flat 1.9% gradient to the beach, the mild climate and the permanently inhabited surroundings support comfortable off-season living rather than a summer-only rhythm.
The apartment was completed in 2002 and carries the construction standards of that period, with visible updates layered on top. The most significant renovation is the second bathroom, which has been refurbished with a rectangular walk-in shower and glass screens; the primary bathroom retains a bath. The terrace glazing is a Lumon system, a frameless glass solution that is common on the Costa del Sol for converting terraces into wind-protected, all-season spaces, a functional upgrade over standard open terraces. Windows are fitted with shutters and mosquito screens, both practical for the coastal climate with its warm months and evening insects. Interior storage is provided through fitted wardrobes, and climate control consists of air conditioning combined with a fireplace, giving both mechanical cooling and supplementary heating options for the mild but occasionally cool Andalusian winters. The kitchen, visible in the photographic material, includes a washing machine area separated by a partition. The building itself has a lift, relevant for a second-floor unit. Condition is described as excellent, though buyers should treat this as the seller's assessment and verify it through an independent technical survey, particularly regarding a 2002 building's plumbing, electrics and insulation standards. The communal areas, pool, children's pool and gardens, are maintained collectively, which shifts exterior upkeep responsibility to the community.
The asking price is fixed at €343,000 for the complete package: the 100 m² built apartment, the glazed terrace and balcony, and an included garage space. As a resale property completed in 2002, the price reflects an established home in a quiet urbanisation with genuine sea views, positioned between new-build developments in the same corridor that start from around €321,000 for comparable floor areas. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status; the seller describes the condition as excellent, with one bathroom already refurbished. Buyers should verify community fees, IBI and transfer costs separately, as these are not included in the provided data.
Daily life in Terrazas del Sol revolves around a calm urbanisation setting with open sea views from the second floor. The south-facing orientation means the living room and glazed terrace receive sun through the middle of the day and into the afternoon, and the Lumon glazing makes the terrace usable even in cooler or windier months. Mornings can start on the balcony with a view over the Mediterranean, and the communal pool and gardens provide an outdoor extension of the home without private maintenance obligations. The immediate Selwo area is residential and quiet, with four restaurants, two pharmacies and a café within 2 km, meaning daily shopping and dining require a short drive to the commercial stretch along the A-7 coast road. For households with children, The International School of Estepona is 4.5 km away as the crow flies, and two health centres serve the wider area. The setting combines a residential calm with access to a dense leisure infrastructure: three golf courses within 3.4 km, beaches at 2.6 km, and Estepona's marina and town centre under 9 km. Out of season, the area remains populated year-round, as the western Estepona corridor is a permanent residential zone rather than a purely seasonal resort strip. A car is the practical mode of transport; six public transport lines with 21 stops exist in the area, but service frequency is oriented to local needs rather than commuting schedules.
The Selwo area sits on the western Estepona corridor, a stretch characterised by residential urbanisations, golf courses and low-rise development rather than high-density resort blocks. Within 2 km there are four restaurants, two pharmacies and a café, covering basic daily needs, while fuller shopping is a short drive towards Estepona town or the commercial centres along the coast road. The nearest beach, Playa de Guadalmansa, is 2.6 km away in a straight line on a flat 1.9% gradient, in practice a few minutes by car. Two further beaches, Playa del Sol Villacana (3.1 km) and Playa del Saladillo (3.4 km), extend the choice along the same shore. Healthcare is served by two health centres in the area, and education includes 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools across the municipality, plus The International School of Estepona at 4.5 km. Tourism infrastructure, 24 hotels with nearly 7,000 beds, indicates a coastal economy that stays active beyond the summer, supporting restaurants and services year-round. The area recorded 3,163 housing transactions per year, pointing to a liquid local market with regular resale activity.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Selwo occupies a middle position on the Costa del Sol's western corridor: 19 km from Marbella, under 9 km from Estepona town and its marina, and 66 km from Málaga city. This places the apartment in the quieter, lower-density segment of the coast between Estepona and Sotogrande, an area known for golf courses and residential urbanisations rather than high-rise tourism. Gibraltar airport lies roughly 42 km to the west, giving a second flight option. Within the region, the address trades the immediate urban intensity of Marbella or Estepona centres for calm, sea views and golf proximity, while remaining within a short drive of both towns' full amenity offer.
Distances are straight-line unless stated otherwise. Beaches: Playa de Guadalmansa at 2.6 km, with Playa del Sol Villacana and Playa del Saladillo at 3.1 and 3.4 km respectively. Golf: El Coto de la Serena (1.4 km), Flamingos Golf (2.4 km) and Tramores Golf (3.4 km). Sports facilities include Racket Club Villa Paderna (3.0 km), Club de Tenis (3.3 km) and a public swimming pool at Parque Antena (1.8 km). Marinas: Puerto Estepona at 8.8 km. Larger towns: Marbella at 19 km, Algeciras at 49 km, Málaga at 66 km as the crow flies. Airports: Gibraltar at roughly 42 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol at roughly 57 km straight-line, road transfer to Málaga airport typically takes around three quarters of an hour to an hour depending on traffic. Electric-vehicle charging is available at a Supercharger in Estepona (1.8 km) and a Zunder-GALP fast charger (8.0 km). Public transport exists with six lines and 21 stops, but a car remains the practical choice for daily life.

The location lies at 53 m above sea level on a coastal shelf with a flat 1.9% gradient towards the sea, which means no steep walks between the home, the urbanisation and the beach. The climate is characteristic of the western Costa del Sol: an average annual temperature of 18.9°C with monthly averages between 15 and 25°C, warm dry summers and mild winters. The swimming season, the period with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, typically from late May into October. For residents this translates into a long outdoor season: terrace use from spring through autumn, comfortable walking and cycling for most of the year, and limited heating needs in winter, which the fireplace and air conditioning cover. The southern orientation of the apartment aligns with the sun path, giving the living areas and terrace midday and afternoon light throughout the year. Coastal nature nearby includes the beaches of the Guadalmansa and Saladillo shore, and the hinterland rises towards the Sierra Bermeja range west of Estepona, visible from elevated points in the area.

The nearest shore is Playa de Guadalmansa at 2.6 km straight-line, part of the long sandy stretch that runs continuously from Estepona westwards towards Sotogrande, with Playa del Sol Villacana and Playa del Saladillo extending the same coastline. These are the quieter, low-density beaches of the western corridor rather than the busy town beaches further east. Golf is the strongest recreational asset of this specific location: three courses, El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos Golf and Tramores Golf, sit within a 3.4 km radius, an unusual density that makes the address practical for regular players. Racket sports are covered by Villa Paderna and Club de Tenis within 3.3 km, and Paintball Estepona offers an activity option at 3.8 km. The communal pool and children's pool within the urbanisation provide daily swimming without leaving the complex, and Parque Antena adds a public pool at 1.8 km. Estepona's marina and its promenade, roughly 9 km away, anchor the wider leisure offer with dining and seasonal events.
