A key-ready townhouse of 200 m² in the Selwomar community in Selwo, on the western side of Estepona. The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a south orientation, a private garage, a garden patio and access to a communal pool. Completed in 2005 and maintained in good condition, it stands in a residential area between Estepona town and the golf courses of the New Golden Mile, roughly 2.6 km from Playa de Guadalmansa as the crow flies. Daily amenities, a private hospital and several golf clubs are within short reach, and the asking price is fixed at €640,000.
Within the wider Málaga province market, this townhouse at a fixed €640,000 sits clearly above the entry price of current new-build developments further along the coast: Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona itself from €269,000. Those are smaller new apartments at starter price points, whereas this is a larger resale townhouse with a garage, convertible attic and an established community. The relevant comparison set is therefore not new-build pricing but the resale townhouse market of the New Golden Mile. The 3,163 annual housing transactions recorded for the district indicate a liquid local market with steady turnover. Location is the differentiating factor: the same 200 m² in Marbella proper, 19 km east, would typically command a higher figure, while areas east of Málaga city trade lower. Selwo's combination of golf density, an international school within walking distance and a hospital at 1.1 km supports year-round demand rather than purely seasonal. For buyers weighing budget against address, the equation here is more house and land-equivalent space per euro in exchange for a 2005 build date rather than new-build guarantees. The region's fundamentals, average annual temperature of 18.9°C, flat coastal terrain and dual airport access via Gibraltar and Málaga, apply to all competing locations equally, so the deciding variables are community size, orientation and the specific corridor between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Selwo is a residential district west of Estepona centre, on the stretch known as the New Golden Mile. The townhouse stands in a community of eighteen homes surrounded by golf courses, international schools and small commercial pockets. Marbella lies 19 km away in a straight line and Málaga 66 km, which places the property in the middle of the Costa del Sol's western corridor.
The house suits a household needing three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a garage within 200 m² of built space. There is a garden patio for outdoor dining, a terrace and balcony, a utility room, storage room and a barbecue. The attic can be converted to add a further bedroom and bathroom, giving room to grow without moving.
This is an existing home, completed in 2005 and delivered key-ready. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to take into account; the buyer can move in immediately after completion of the purchase. Any extension into the attic would be a separate project subject to the usual permits and community rules.
The property has no private pool; swimming is via the communal pool and gardens shared with seventeen other households. The plot is small at 30 m², so outdoor space is limited to the patio, terrace and balcony. There is no private garden of significant size, and the home dates from 2005 rather than being a new build.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Costa del Sol year-round will find three bedrooms, an ensuite, a garage and, within walking distance per the seller's figures, Atlas International School, which is a significant practical factor for permanent residence. A buyer planning to expand can treat the convertible attic as headroom: a fourth bedroom and third bathroom without relocating. Households who prioritise low-maintenance outdoor living may prefer the patio-and-communal-pool arrangement over a private pool with its cleaning, heating and running costs. Part-year residents will appreciate the small community of eighteen homes, which is easier to leave unoccupied and generally cheaper to maintain than a detached villa. The lower level with garage and laundry offers a genuine bonus space, the current use as a gym shows the potential. Buyers for whom a private pool, a large garden or sea views from every room are non-negotiable will find the 30 m² plot limiting and should weigh that against the location. The property is less suited to those wanting a new-build warranty or a lock-and-leave apartment; it is a conventional Spanish townhouse with the maintenance and character that entails. Its strongest match is a buyer who values the address, between Estepona and Marbella's New Golden Mile, more than land, and who wants to move in without waiting for construction.
The house was completed in 2005 and is described as being in excellent condition. The feature list points to a consistent level of specification for its generation: double glazing throughout, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, a fireplace in the living room, and WiFi infrastructure. Climate control relies on the fireplace combined with the south orientation, which in this climate provides passive heat gain in the cooler months; the data does not mention air conditioning, so buyers should verify what cooling is installed or budget for it. The entrance level has a shower room, the upper floor a full bathroom plus the ensuite, giving a sensible split for guests and family. The covered terrace and private terrace are finished for outdoor use, with the image analysis showing artificial grass on the terrace, a low-maintenance surface choice. The storage room on the lower level currently holds gym equipment, confirming it as usable conditioned space rather than a damp undercroft. The utility room is separate from the kitchen, which keeps laundry noise and appliances out of the living areas. The garage is private and included in the price. As with any twenty-year-old property, the sensible approach is a technical survey covering damp, electrical installation, and the condition of the roof and patio waterproofing, and confirmation that any attic conversion would comply with planning and community rules before counting it as additional bedrooms.
The asking price is a fixed €640,000 for the property as it stands, including the private garage and storage. This is an existing home from 2005, not a new-build development with a price list, so there is no range of unit types or from-prices. At €640,000 for 200 m² built, the price works out to €3,200 per built square metre, which can be compared directly against other resale townhouses in the Selwo, Estepona corridor. Availability is immediate in principle: the house is key-ready, so the timeline depends on the buyer's financing and the standard Spanish notarial process rather than on any construction schedule. Additional costs such as transfer tax, notary and registry fees apply on top of the asking price.
Daily life in this townhouse is organised over three levels. The entrance floor holds the living room with fireplace, kitchen and shower room, opening onto the garden patio, a sheltered spot for meals outside for most of the year given the regional climate. The lower level contains a spacious laundry room and private garage, which the current arrangement shows can double as a gym or extra living space. The upper floor carries the three bedrooms, the main one with an ensuite bathroom, plus a large family bathroom. A terrace and balcony extend the living space outdoors, oriented south so that the main rooms receive sun through the middle of the day. The community is small, eighteen townhouses, which tends to mean low traffic and familiar faces rather than the churn of a large resort complex. The communal pool and gardens function as the shared outdoor extension of each home. Around the property, the Selwo area combines residential quiet with practical density: a supermarket at 2.9 km straight-line, a pharmacy at 2.3 km, and a hospital just 1.1 km away. Restaurants and a café sit within two kilometres. The pedestrian route to the beach takes roughly ten minutes on foot according to the seller's information. A padel club and sports centre lie across the street, and golf courses including El Coto de la Serena at 1.4 km and Flamingos Golf at 2.4 km sit within a short drive. The rhythm here is suburban-coastal: mornings on the patio or terrace, errands within a ten-minute radius, and afternoons split between the pool, the beach or the fairways.
The Selwo area sits at 53 metres above sea level with a gradient of under two per cent towards the sea, so walking and cycling are realistic on flat terrain rather than the hillside effort required in many Costa del Sol locations. The pedestrian path to Playa de Guadalmansa takes about ten minutes on foot per the seller, and the beach lies 2.6 km away in a straight line. Daily shopping is covered by a supermarket at 2.9 km straight-line, with a pharmacy at 2.3 km. Healthcare is unusually close: a hospital at 1.1 km and two health centres in the wider area. Within two kilometres there are four restaurants, two pharmacies and a café, enough for regular, casual options without driving into Estepona town. Education is well represented, with nineteen primary schools and ten secondary schools in the district and The International School of Estepona at 4.5 km. Public transport exists in the area, six lines and 21 stops, which supports occasional car-free travel, though a car remains the practical default for most trips. The area's tourism footprint is moderate, with 24 hotels and just under 7,000 beds, meaning the immediate surroundings are residential rather than resort-dense.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Selwo occupies the stretch between Estepona town and San Pedro de Alcántara that estate agents call the New Golden Mile. Marbella lies 19 km to the east, Estepona centre a short drive west, and the larger regional anchors, Algeciras at 49 km and Málaga at 66 km, bracket the coast at either end. The position gives residents access to both Marbella's retail and dining and Estepona's old town and marina within twenty minutes' driving, while the immediate district stays residential. Within the western Costa del Sol, this corridor is characterised by golf communities, international schools and hotel resorts rather than high-rise tourism.
Straight-line distances frame the reach of the property: Playa de Guadalmansa at 2.6–3.0 km, Playa del Padron at 3.3 km and the beaches of Villacana and Saladillo slightly further. Golf is the densest amenity, El Coto de la Serena at 1.4–1.7 km, Flamingos Golf at 2.4–2.9 km and Tramores Golf at 3.4 km, so three courses sit within a five-minute drive. Sports facilities include the Racket Club Villa Paderna at 3.0 km, a tennis club at 3.3 km and a swimming pool complex at 1.8 km. The marinas of Estepona lie roughly 8.8–8.9 km away for boat owners. For EV drivers, a Supercharger sits 1.8 km from the door. Airport access splits two ways: Gibraltar at about 42 km straight-line and Málaga-Costa del Sol at about 57 km straight-line by the airport dataset (the location analysis lists 41 km by road measure); both are workable, with Gibraltar often quicker for UK-linked travel. Marbella at 19 km and Estepona town anchor the corridor in either direction.

The climate data shows monthly average temperatures of 15–25°C with an annual mean of 18.9°C, a classic Costa del Sol profile of mild winters and warm but not extreme summers. The swimming season runs about five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, roughly May through September. At 53 metres elevation the property sits low and close to the coast, which keeps it out of the colder hillside air in winter while retaining sea breezes in summer. The gradient to the beach of 1.9 per cent means the terrain is flat, so the walk to the sea involves no climbing. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches from late spring to early autumn, the period when the patio, terrace and communal pool see most use. The fireplace in the living room covers the cooler evenings of December and January, when temperatures can drop after sunset.

The nearest stretch of coast is Playa de Guadalmansa, 2.6 km away as the crow flies, with Playa del Sol Villacana and Playa del Saladillo extending the same sandy shoreline eastwards. The chiringuitos and beach bars of this section of the New Golden Mile are a fixture of summer life here, reachable on foot in about ten minutes along the pedestrian path. Recreation beyond the beach is dominated by golf: El Coto de la Serena, Flamingos Golf and Tramores Golf all lie within four kilometres, and the seller notes the Alferini and El Paraíso courses plus the Anantara Villa Padierna resort nearby. Racket sports are well served by the Racket Club Villa Paderna and a tennis club within 3.3 km, and a new padel club and sports centre stand across the street from the community. For a change of scene, the marinas of Estepona at under nine kilometres offer waterside dining and boat trips, and Paintball Estepona at 3.8 km adds a family option.
