This property suits households seeking extensive interior space rather than a compact holiday apartment. It is appropriate for families or individuals requiring multiple bedrooms and home offices. The layout and storage facilities support permanent residency. It fits those who value proximity to golf and marina facilities over absolute beachfront access. The security and communal amenities make it suitable for owners who travel frequently, as the property can be secured easily. It is less suitable for those seeking a new-build guarantee or who require step-free access to the beach.
The apartment features marble flooring throughout the living areas. The kitchen has been refurbished with Silestone worktops and integrated Neff appliances. Bathrooms include marble tiling and Jacuzzi baths in the en-suites. Fitted wardrobes are present in the bedrooms. Climate control is managed via a newly installed hot and cold air conditioning system. Windows are double-glazed, contributing to insulation. The terraces have tiled finishes and are accessible from the main living room and bedrooms. The finishes reflect a contemporary style updated from the original 2007 build.
The asking price is €495,000. This figure includes the property itself, two parking spaces, and a storage room. With a surface area of 234 m², the price per square metre is approximately €2,115. Compared to new developments in the region, this offers a higher surface area for the investment. Additional costs such as transfer tax, notary fees, and legal fees are not included in the asking price.
Daily life here involves navigating a moderate incline, as the property sits 66 metres above sea level with a 5.5% slope towards the beach. Residents can walk to the marina for dining or to the local supermarket within ten minutes. The North East orientation means morning sun is prevalent on the terraces, while the interiors remain bright. The proximity to La Duquesa Golf allows for regular access to the course without needing a car. The area is residential, with a mix of permanent inhabitants and tourists, particularly during the summer months. Traffic is generally local, with the main A-7 coast road accessible for regional travel. The five communal pools offer options for swimming depending on sun preference.
The immediate environment is the residential area of La Duquesa, which connects via internal roads to the port. The marina offers a concentration of bars, restaurants, and shops. Estepona is the nearest major town, located approximately 10 minutes by car. Gibraltar is accessible within 30 minutes. The area is served by a local bus network, with 29 stops in the vicinity. The demographic mix includes international residents and Spanish locals, creating a diverse community atmosphere.

Compared to the Aquamar development in Torre del Mar (prices from €269,950), this La Duquesa property is positioned at a higher price point, reflecting the specific demand for the area and the larger square footage. While Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts at €205,000, that project typically offers smaller units and a less immediate connection to the marina lifestyle. Etherna Homes in Estepona (from €259,000) offers new build guarantees but often with smaller footprints and less mature landscaping than this established 2007 penthouse. The value proposition here lies in the size (234 m²) and the inclusion of two parking spaces, which is a premium feature in dense urbanisations. Furthermore, the proximity to three major golf courses within 5 km contrasts with projects further inland, where golf access requires significant travel.
