A key-ready penthouse of 122 m² in the Libella/Australy development in Selwo, on the western side of Estepona. The property has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private terrace with sea and mountain views, and a south-westerly orientation. The asking price is fixed at €1,090,000 and includes two parking spaces and a storage room. The development offers a communal pool and garden, and the surrounding area combines golf courses, beaches and everyday amenities within a few kilometres.
Within the wider Costa del Sol context, this penthouse occupies the upper-middle segment. Comparable new-build projects in the region advertise starting prices from €205,000 (Lantana Residencial in Mijas), €269,950 (Aquamar in Torre del Mar) and €321,000 (Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona). Those figures concern entry-level apartments in larger schemes; a top-floor penthouse of 122 m² with sea views, two parking spaces and storage in a recently delivered development near Estepona commands a different price level, reflected here in a fixed asking price of €1,090,000, or roughly €8,900 per square metre of living area. Location-wise, Selwo sits on the New Golden Mile, the stretch between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara that combines golf courses, established urbanisations and beach clubs, at 19 km straight-line distance from Marbella. Compared with the eastern Costa del Sol around Torre del Mar, the area is more oriented towards golf and second residences and less towards year-round town life. Compared with Mijas, the immediate surroundings are quieter and less dense, with Estepona town as the nearest full-service centre. The climate profile, an annual average of 18.9°C and about five months of swimming season, matches the regional standard for the western coast. Buyers weighing alternatives should consider that resale units of this type offer immediate availability and a known final state, whereas off-plan projects carry delivery risk but lower entry prices. The local market records around 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated turnover in the surrounding municipalities.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Selwo is a residential district west of Estepona centre, at approximately 53 metres above sea level with a flat gradient towards the coast. The nearest beach, Playa de Guadalmansa, lies 2.6 km away as the crow flies. Marbella is 19 km away in a straight line; Málaga city roughly 66 km. The area is characterised by urbanisations and golf courses rather than dense town life.
The penthouse offers 122 m² of living space with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an ensuite. It includes a fully fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes, a lift, air conditioning, underfloor heating and electric blinds. The private terrace faces south and west. Two parking spaces and a storage room are included, which is relevant for households with two cars or visitors.
The property is a new construction in key-ready condition, meaning it can be transferred in its completed state. The stated completion year of 2026 is indicative and depends on the formal handover process of the development. As a resale of a recently delivered unit, the buyer purchases from the current owner rather than directly from the developer.
The property is sold unfurnished. It has a communal pool and communal garden, not a private pool. There is no private garden. Living space is 122 m², which is moderate for a three-bedroom penthouse in this price segment. The unit depends on shared facilities, and community rules and fees apply. No additional land or plot belongs to the property.
This property fits a buyer seeking a turnkey home on the Costa del Sol without waiting for a construction phase, particularly one who values a top-floor position, sea views and a south-westerly terrace for afternoon and evening use. It suits households with one or two cars, since two parking spaces and storage are included. Buyers who play golf will find three courses within 3.5 km as the crow flies, including El Coto de la Serena at 1.4 km. Families considering longer stays should note The International School of Estepona is 4.5 km away in a straight line. The property is less obvious for buyers who want to walk everywhere: the immediate surroundings offer a handful of restaurants and pharmacies, but full urban amenities require a short drive. It also does not suit buyers looking for a private pool or garden, as these are communal. Buyers intending to rent out the property should verify local regulations and community rules regarding tourist lettings before purchase. Finally, those needing frequent international flights can reach Gibraltar Airport at roughly 42 km in a straight line and Málaga-Costa del Sol at approximately 57 km, both of which involve a drive of considerable length along the A-7 or AP-7.
The penthouse is delivered in new condition with a finish level consistent with a recently completed development. Technical features include underfloor heating and air conditioning, giving year-round climate control for both cool winter periods and hot summer months. Electric blinds are installed throughout. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the property includes fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom connected to the main bedroom. The bathroom is equipped with a double sink unit, and the open-plan living area connects to large windows and the private terrace, oriented south and west. The building has a lift, which is relevant given the top-floor position. As a resale within a newly delivered development, the current owner was among the first buyers and selected the unit early in the sales process, which typically allows choice of position, orientation and view within the scheme. Buyers should nonetheless verify the exact delivery state, the property is sold unfurnished, and carry out a standard technical inspection to confirm the condition of installations, despite the new-build status. Communal areas include a swimming pool and landscaped garden maintained by the community. Two parking spaces and a storage room in the underground area complete the practical package. Specific materials and brand names are not documented in the available data and should be confirmed during a viewing.
The asking price is €1,090,000 and is a fixed price, not a starting price. It applies to a specific, completed penthouse with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 122 m² of living space, including two parking spaces and a storage room. Compared with new-build projects in the wider region, which advertise starting prices between roughly €205,000 and €321,000, this unit sits well above that range, reflecting its status as a resale of a recently delivered top-floor unit in a development with extensive shared facilities. The price per square metre of living area is approximately €8,900. Completion is stated as 2026, indicatively.
Daily life in Selwo is quiet and residential. The penthouse sits in a low-density area of urbanisations, where the rhythm is set by golf courses, occasional traffic to the coast and the seasonality of holiday homes. Within 2 km there are four restaurants, two pharmacies and a café, which covers basic needs but not full-scale town amenities. For comprehensive shopping, healthcare and services, residents typically drive to Estepona, roughly 9 km away by road. The flat terrain towards the sea makes walking and cycling realistic options for part of the route, although the 2.6 km distance to Playa de Guadalmansa is measured in a straight line, so the actual distance on foot or by car is longer. A car is the practical standard here: public transport exists, with 6 lines and 21 stops in the wider area, but frequencies are modest outside peak periods. The penthouse itself is oriented to the outdoors, south and west facing, meaning afternoon and evening sun on the terrace, with panoramic views over the Mediterranean and the mountain ridge behind. For residents, the typical pattern is mornings at home, afternoons at one of the nearby golf clubs or the beach, and evenings on the terrace. Outside the summer months, the area becomes noticeably calmer, as a substantial share of the surrounding homes serves as second residences.
The surroundings of Selwo combine residential calm with a surprising density of leisure infrastructure. Within a radius of roughly 4 km, measured in a straight line, lie three golf courses: El Coto de la Serena at 1.4 km, Flamingos Golf at 2.4 km and Tramores Golf at 3.4 km. Sports facilities include the Racket Club Villa Paderna at 3.0 km and Club de Tenis at 3.3 km. Beaches within easy reach are Playa de Guadalmansa at 2.6 km, Playa del Sol Villacana at 3.1 km and Playa del Saladillo at 3.4 km. For boating, Puerto Estepona and the Puerto Deportivo marina are both under 9 km away in a straight line. Electric-vehicle owners can use the Tesla Supercharger in Estepona at 1.8 km and a Zunder-GALP fast-charging point at 8.0 km. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in the area, and education by 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools. The tourism footprint is substantial, 24 hotels with nearly 6,900 beds, which shapes the seasonal character of the area: lively in summer, considerably quieter from late autumn to spring. Daily shopping is concentrated in the nearby commercial zones along the A-7 and in Estepona town.
The map shows the penthouse's position relative to the coast, the golf courses of the New Golden Mile and the road structure of the A-7. Straight-line distances to beaches, schools and Marbella give a quick sense of scale; actual travel distances by road are longer. The Sierra Bermeja foothills form the green backdrop to the residential area.

Selwo occupies a position on the western New Golden Mile of Estepona, roughly halfway between Estepona town and the Marbella municipality boundary. Marbella lies 19 km away in a straight line; Estepona centre under 10 km. This places the property in the mid-price, golf-oriented segment of the Costa del Sol, west of the glare of Puerto Banús but close enough to reach it for an evening. The region's anchor city, Málaga, is 66 km in a straight line, and Algeciras 49 km to the west, connecting the area to both the airport corridor and the Gibraltar hinterland.
Accessibility from Selwo is primarily by car. The A-7 coastal road and the AP-7 toll motorway connect the area to Estepona (about 9 km to the marina in a straight line), Marbella at 19 km straight-line distance and, further on, Málaga at 66 km. Gibraltar Airport lies approximately 42 km away in a straight line and Málaga-Costa del Sol around 57 km; both require a road journey whose duration depends on traffic along the coast, particularly in summer. Public transport consists of 6 bus lines with 21 stops in the area, sufficient for occasional trips but not for daily dependence. By car, the beaches of Guadalmansa and Saladillo, the golf courses and the supermarkets of the New Golden Mile are all within a short drive. The flat gradient of 1.9% towards the sea means no steep climbs on local routes, which benefits walking and cycling for part of the daily routine. Residents should anticipate that all straight-line distances translate into longer road distances.

The climate data shows an average annual temperature of 18.9°C, with monthly averages ranging between 15 and 25°C. This places Selwo in the mild Mediterranean band of the western Costa del Sol, where winters remain frost-free and summers are warm. The swimming season lasts about five months, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, roughly from late May to late October. The elevation of 53 metres above sea level gives the penthouse a raised position relative to the shoreline without the access difficulties of hillside urbanisations. The gradient towards the beach is 1.9%, effectively flat, which distinguishes this location from the steeper zones between Estepona and Benahavís. The backdrop of the Sierra Bermeja mountain range contributes to the mountain views from the property and to hiking options inland, while the coastal strip offers the sea and beach environment. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half-year, in line with the regional pattern.

The nearest beaches are Playa de Guadalmansa at 2.6 km straight-line distance, Playa del Sol Villacana at 3.1 km and Playa del Saladillo at 3.4 km, all part of the stretch known as the New Golden Mile between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara. These are the chiringuito-and-sand type of beaches characteristic of this coast, with a quieter character than the central Marbella beaches. Golf is the strongest recreational asset of the immediate area: El Coto de la Serena at 1.4 km, Flamingos Golf at 2.4 km and Tramores Golf at 3.4 km offer three courses within a five-minute drive. Racket sports are served by the Racket Club Villa Paderna at 3.0 km and the Club de Tenis at 3.3 km, and Paintball Estepona at 3.8 km offers an additional activity option. The communal pool and garden of the development itself provide swimming and relaxation on site, and Parque Antena with a public swimming pool is 1.8 km away. For evenings out, the restaurants and café within 2 km cover casual dining, while Estepona's marina and old town broaden the choice.
