The location balances the peace of a rural environment with the convenience of coastal facilities. The immediate surroundings are characterized by nature and golf courses.

It is an option for golfers, thanks to its proximity to various courses such as El Soto Golf and Santa María Golf & Country Club. For those seeking a spacious home, as the living area is 152 m², this is also an interesting prospect. The elevated location and limited proximity of immediate amenities make it an suitable place for those seeking serenity and a direct connection with nature. The completed status of the project means it can be occupied immediately, without the uncertainties of a construction process. This can be attractive to buyers looking to move quickly or to rent out the property.

Build Quality & Finishing

The apartment boasts extensive finishes, consistent with the description of a ground-floor unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Features such as marble floors, partly furnished spaces, a fully fitted kitchen, and a fireplace indicate a comfortable and high-quality standard.

Location: La Mairena

Living & Surroundings

Life in La Mairena, at this altitude, is characterized by tranquility and expansive views. The immediate surroundings are predominantly residential, with a focus on nature and golf. Daily shopping requires a drive of approximately 4 km to the nearest supermarket, while the hospital is about 7 km away. For dining out, there is a restaurant less than 2 km away, but for a wider selection, coastal towns like Elviria or Marbella are more suitable. The numerous hotels and beds in the region indicate tourist appeal, but the residential area itself is geared towards permanent or long-term stays.

Location in the Region

Situated in La Mairena, a residential enclave in the hills above Elviria, this apartment is positioned in the eastern part of the Costa del Sol. It is an area known for its quieter character, in contrast to the busier coastal areas. Marbella is a short drive away, providing access to its amenities and nightlife.

The nearest beach, Playa de Artola, is approximately 4.7 km away, with other beaches such as Cabopino and Calahonda around 5.2 km away. Málaga Airport is 28 km away as the crow flies, implying a travel time of about 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic.

Although there are 2 public transport lines and 34 stops in the broader area, their effectiveness for daily use is limited given the location and distances to most amenities.

Regional Comparison

This apartment in La Mairena distinguishes itself from coastal projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar or developments in Estepona through its elevated location and tranquil, rural setting. The starting prices of comparable projects such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas (€205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (€259,000) are lower, partly explained by their more direct coastal positioning and smaller living areas. La Mairena, however, appeals to a specific clientele valuing views, nature, and proximity to golf courses, with a starting price of €370,000 for 152 m² of living space. Compared to the immediate coastal areas of Marbella, where prices can be significantly higher for comparable sizes, La Mairena offers an alternative for those wishing to avoid coastal crowds while remaining close. The focus here is more on residential tranquility and panoramic vistas rather than direct beach access.
