A three-bedroom detached villa in Estepona, Málaga, offered at a fixed asking price of €750,000. The property provides 179 m² of built space on a 704 m² plot with a private pool and established garden. Completed in 1990 and now key-ready, the villa sits within walking distance of the beach in an urban setting with everyday amenities close at hand. The Costa del Sol town of Estepona combines coastal living with access to golf courses, marinas and the Sierra Bermeja mountain backdrop. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport lies roughly 64 km away as the crow flies, with Gibraltar airport around 36 km to the south.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in an urban part of Estepona, within walking distance of the beach and daily amenities. A supermarket lies about 104 m away and a pharmacy 237 m, so most errands can be done on foot. Playa de Estepona sits 524 m away as the crow flies, with La Rada beach at roughly 800 m. The town centre and its facilities remain easily reachable by car or bicycle.
The house offers three double bedrooms and three bathrooms across two floors, with fitted wardrobes, air conditioning, a fully fitted kitchen and marble flooring. Outside there is a private pool, a covered terrace, an open solarium, a barbecue area and parking within the grounds. Views extend over sea, mountains and the surrounding landscape, giving varied outlooks throughout the day.
This is an existing property, completed in 1990 and described as being in good condition. It is key-ready, meaning no construction phase applies. Buyers should account for the age of the building when planning maintenance and any modernisation, as the original build dates from over three decades ago. Any completion or handover date is therefore immediate upon purchase.
The property dates from 1990, so finishes and installations reflect that period unless updated. No gym, communal facilities or 24-hour security are listed among the features. The villa has three bedrooms rather than four or more, which may limit appeal for larger households. No information is available regarding energy performance or recent renovation works, so independent verification is advisable.
This property fits buyers seeking an established detached home rather than a new-build apartment. A household that values outdoor space, a private pool, a mature garden, a barbecue area and parking within the grounds, will find the 704 m² plot a central feature. The three-bedroom layout with three bathrooms suits a family, a couple who regularly host guests, or owners planning extended stays rather than short holiday visits. Walkability is a defining trait: with a supermarket at about 100 m, a pharmacy under 250 m and the beach around 500 m, the house works for people who prefer not to depend on a car for daily errands. Retirees or semi-retirees may appreciate the flat gradient towards the coast, measured at 2.4 per cent, and the proximity of a hospital at 1.1 km and health centres in town. Golfers benefit from several courses within a short drive, including Valle Romano at 4.1 km. Buyers who prioritise a modern finish throughout, four or more bedrooms, or communal facilities such as a gym or gated security should look elsewhere or factor renovation into their plans. The 1990 construction date means the property suits those comfortable with an older building, prepared to verify installations and update where needed. As a second home, the location within an urban fabric of roughly 80,000 inhabitants means services stay open outside the summer season, avoiding the emptiness of purely seasonal resorts.
The villa was completed in 1990 and is reported in good condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and a fully fitted kitchen, along with a utility room. Climate control consists of air conditioning with both hot and cold functions, covering heating in the milder winter months and cooling in summer. The property is sold fully furnished, which lowers the practical threshold for moving in or letting it out. Across two floors, the 179 m² built area accommodates three double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a guest toilet, with large windows in the principal living spaces oriented to the south-east. Outdoors, the finish level extends to a covered terrace for shaded use, an open solarium for full sun, a barbecue installation and a private pool set within an established garden. The mature planting gives the plot visual screening that younger gardens lack. Parking sits within the secure grounds of the property itself. In structural terms, buyers should note the building's age: no renovation history is documented in the available data, so a technical survey is a sensible step to assess the roof, electrics, plumbing and pool installation. The overall picture is that of a solid, habitable villa with conventional 1990s construction methods and materials, rather than a recently refurbished property presenting contemporary specifications.
The asking price is fixed at €750,000 for the complete property, an existing villa, not a new-build development with a price list. The price covers a 179 m² built area on a 704 m² plot with private pool, garden and on-site parking, sold fully furnished and key-ready. For context, new-build projects elsewhere in Estepona advertise from prices between roughly €537,000 and €685,000, though those typically concern apartments or different typologies rather than a detached villa with this plot size. The price per square metre of built area works out at approximately €4,190, before accounting for the land value of the plot. Availability is immediate, subject to the seller's position, and the completed-1990 construction date means buyers should budget for survey and potential refurbishment costs in their overall calculation. Transaction costs in Spain, including transfer tax and notary fees, apply in addition to the asking price.
Daily life here revolves around a compact, walkable urban setting. The nearest supermarket is roughly 104 m away and a pharmacy 237 m, so the weekly shop and small errands require no car. The beach at Playa de Estepona lies about 524 m as the crow flies, and La Rada around 800 m, making morning swims or evening walks along the shore a realistic part of the routine. The house itself supports a practical indoor-outdoor rhythm: a south-easterly orientation brings morning and midday light into the living areas, while the covered terrace and solarium offer shaded and full-sun positions overlooking the pool and garden. The plot is established rather than newly planted, which gives the outdoor space a settled, private character. Within two kilometres there are around fifty restaurants, twenty-two cafés, six schools and eighteen pharmacies, plus two parks, indicating a year-round residential fabric rather than a purely seasonal one. Sports facilities are close by, with a fitness centre about 300 m away and the municipal sports centre 600 m. Two marinas, Puerto Estepona and Puerto Deportivo, sit within roughly two kilometres, adding options for dining and waterside walks. A car remains useful for reaching golf courses, with Valle Romano Golf at 4.1 km and Azata Golf at around 4.4 km straight-line, and for longer trips to Marbella or the airports, but much of everyday life can unfold on foot or by bicycle.
The immediate surroundings combine urban convenience with coastal proximity. Within two kilometres, the area intelligence counts some fifty restaurants, twenty-two cafés, eighteen pharmacies, six schools, four banks and two parks, a density that indicates a functioning neighbourhood rather than a holiday enclave. A hospital lies 1.1 km away as the crow flies, and the municipality operates two health centres and nineteen primary schools. For leisure, the marinas at Puerto Estepona and Puerto Deportivo sit around 1.6 to 1.8 km away, while the Mirador del Carmen viewpoint is roughly 1.2 km from the property. Sports options include a fitness centre at 0.3 km and the municipal sports centre at 0.6 km, part of a wider count of 134 sports facilities in the municipality. Electric-vehicle owners can charge at a point 1.3 km away, with a fast-charging station 1.4 km further along. Public transport covers eight lines with fifty stops, which supports car-free living for routine trips, though a car remains practical for golf, Marbella and the airports. The gradient to the beach is flat at 2.4 per cent, so walking and cycling are comfortable. Seasonally, the town's 24 hotels and nearly 7,000 tourist beds bring summer activity, but the resident population of about 79,600 keeps the year-round economy stable.
The map shows the villa's position within Estepona's urban fabric, with the beach under a kilometre away and the supermarket, pharmacy and hospital all marked nearby. Golf courses appear inland to the west and south, while Marbella and the airports lie along the coast. Distances shown are straight-line; road routes may be longer.

Estepona occupies the western Costa del Sol, 25 km from Marbella and roughly 73 km from Málaga city. With about 79,600 inhabitants, it ranks among the larger towns on this stretch of coast, large enough to sustain year-round services, 19 primary schools, 10 secondary schools, two health centres, while remaining smaller and quieter than Marbella or the Málaga metropolitan area. Gibraltar sits 42 km from Marbella's neighbour Algeciras direction, with the airport around 36 km away. Its position between the sea and the Sierra Bermeja gives the town both a beachfront and a mountain hinterland, a combination not every Costa del Sol location offers.
Beaches are the closest major amenity: Playa de Estepona lies 524 m away as the crow flies, La Rada 769 m and Playa del Cristo 1.6 km, all walkable given the flat terrain. Golf courses require a short drive: Valle Romano Golf at 4.1 km and Azata Golf at roughly 4.4 km straight-line, with Estepona Golf at 6.1 km. Marbella, with around 148,000 inhabitants, sits 25 km away, Algeciras 42 km and Málaga 73 km. Airports: Gibraltar at approximately 36 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol at approximately 64 km straight-line, road distances and driving times will be longer, so transfer planning should account for that. By car, the coastal A-7 and AP-7 corridor connects the town to the wider region. Public transport consists of eight lines with fifty stops, useful for local movement. Everyday needs are hyper-local: supermarket at 104 m, pharmacy at 237 m and hospital at 1.1 km, meaning most daily trips need no vehicle at all.

Estepona's climate is one of its structural advantages: the average annual temperature is 19.2 °C, with monthly averages ranging between 15 °C and 25 °C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts around five months. The town sits at just 19 m above sea level, and the gradient from the property towards the beach is a flat 2.4 per cent, so no steep walks or stairs separate the house from the shore. Inland, the municipality covers 137 km² of fertile valley crossed by small streams, rising into the Sierra Bermeja mountains, whose peak of Los Reales reaches 1,449 m. This combination means coastal living with genuine mountain access, forest walking routes are reachable directly from the area, offering cooler escapes during the hottest months. Rainfall concentrates outside summer, keeping the warm season long and dry. The villa's south-east orientation aligns morning and midday sun with the main living areas and pool terrace.

Playa del Angel lies 1.7 km along the coast. Golf forms the second recreational pillar: Valle Romano Golf at 4.1 km, Azata Golf at around 4.4 km and Estepona Golf at 6.1 km give three courses within a short drive, plus a golf academy at 6.2 km. Waterfront recreation extends to two marinas, Puerto Estepona at 1.6 km and Puerto Deportivo at 1.8 km, for dining, strolls and nautical activities. For active residents, the municipality counts 134 sports facilities, with a Better Bodies fitness centre 300 m from the villa and the municipal sports centre 600 m away.

Within Estepona's current supply, new-build projects advertise from prices of roughly €537,000 at Vanian Park, €539,000 at Unika Homes and €685,000 at One Estepona. Those figures concern new construction, typically apartments or townhouses, and are not directly comparable with a detached villa on a 704 m² freehold plot. At a fixed €750,000, this property trades at approximately €4,190 per m² of built area, a level that also reflects the land, the private pool and the mature garden rather than interior space alone. The trade-off is age: the 1990 construction predates contemporary insulation standards and modern communal facilities, whereas the new-build alternatives deliver current specifications, developer warranties and shared amenities, but on smaller footprints and often with community fees and without the privacy of an established plot. Locationally, this villa sits in the urban core near the beach, while several new developments cluster on the town's western edge closer to the golf courses. Buyers weighing Estepona against Marbella, 25 km east, will find lower headline prices here and a more Spanish, year-round character, at some distance from Marbella's premium services and nightlife. The town's market shows sustained activity, with around 3,163 housing transactions per year, indicating liquidity for resale. Median provincial income of €16,450 contextualises local purchasing power, though coastal property markets operate substantially on international demand. For a buyer prioritising space, privacy and walkability over new-build finishes, this villa's proposition differs materially from the apartment developments; for one prioritising modern specification and shared facilities, the new-build route may suit better despite the smaller plots.
