This key-ready townhouse is set within the gated community of La Vizcaronda in Manilva, on the western Costa del Sol. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a guest WC across 271 m² of living space, with sea views from every floor. A roof terrace with private jacuzzi, a large private underground parking area with direct access, and several communal swimming pools form part of the package. The asking price is €417,000 and the home is sold fully furnished. La Duquesa beach and marina lie within walking distance, roughly 600 metres away as the crow flies.
Within its immediate market, this townhouse competes with both new-build projects and existing homes on the western Costa del Sol. The nearest new-build comparables are Alonia in La Duquesa, starting from €316,000, Aby Upper in Estepona from €320,000, and Acqua Gardens in Estepona from €524,600. Against these, the asking price of €417,000 places this property in the middle bracket, but the comparison is not straightforward. New-build starting prices typically apply to smaller units than this 271 m² home; at roughly €1,540 per square metre, this property offers more space per euro than most off-plan alternatives in Estepona. The trade-off is age: a 2005 completion means twenty-year-old installations, whereas new-build buyers receive current building standards and warranties. The property compensates with elements that new-build apartments in this price class often lack: a large private underground parking area with direct internal access, a roof terrace with jacuzzi, multiple terraces, sea views from every floor and a fully furnished, key-ready condition. Locationally, La Duquesa sits quieter than Estepona's town centre and considerably calmer than Marbella, 35 km to the east. The density of amenities within 2 km, 33 restaurants, pharmacies, schools and a health centre, matches what a settled residential area provides rather than a seasonal resort. Transaction activity of 1,351 sales per year in the area indicates a functioning resale market, relevant for future liquidity. Access differs from most Costa del Sol locations: Gibraltar Airport at about 25 km straight-line, or 30 minutes by car, is closer than Málaga Airport at 74 km straight-line, roughly one hour's drive. For buyers weighing space, views and immediate usability against the appeal of new construction, this property represents the existing-home side of that comparison.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in La Vizcaronda, a gated residential community in Manilva, close to La Duquesa. The nearest beach, La Duquesa, is 0.6 km away in a straight line, and Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina sits 0.3 km from the house. The terrain towards the coast is flat, with a gradient of about 2.3%. Marbella lies 35 km away and Algeciras 32 km, both measured as the crow flies.
The home is configured for both permanent residence and holiday use. Three bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes and a utility room support year-round family living. Multiple terraces, a roof terrace with jacuzzi and communal pools cover outdoor use during the roughly five-month swimming season. Marble flooring, air conditioning, central heating and a fireplace provide comfort across all seasons.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 2005 and is described as being in good condition and key-ready. It is sold fully furnished, which reduces the interval between purchase and occupation. The property has a fixed asking price of €417,000; there is no price list or phased release, as would apply to an off-plan development.
The property has no private swimming pool; swimming facilities are communal. There is no private garden mentioned in the data. Parking is arranged in a large private underground space rather than a separate closed garage. The building dates from 2005, so construction and fittings are twenty years old. Distances to Marbella and Málaga are considerable, at 35 km and 83 km straight-line respectively.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A family seeking a permanent home on the Costa del Sol will find three bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, schools within the area and a health centre nearby, combined with heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. Buyers of a second home benefit from the key-ready, fully furnished condition, which removes renovation work and furnishing costs from the equation, the house can be used from the moment of completion of the purchase. Those who value outdoor space will find multiple terraces, a jacuzzi on the roof terrace and communal pools within the gated community. Golfers are placed within a short drive of Doña Julia at 2.5 km, the Golf Academy Albayt Resort at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km, all straight-line distances. The property is less obvious for buyers who want a private pool and garden; the swimming facilities here are communal and no private garden is listed. It also fits less well for those who need to be in Málaga city regularly, given the 83 km straight-line distance, though Gibraltar Airport at roughly 25 km straight-line, about 30 minutes by car, is a practical alternative flight option. Buyers prioritising new construction should note the 2005 completion date. For anyone seeking space, sea views and a calm residential base near the marina and beach, the configuration matches well.
The interior finishing follows the standards of quality Spanish construction from the mid-2000s. Floors are marble throughout, a material typical of the period that remains durable and cool underfoot in summer. Climate control is covered on three fronts: air conditioning for the hot months, central heating for winter, and a fireplace in the living area, which appears in the open-plan living and dining space in the photographs. Windows are double glazed, improving insulation against both heat and coastal wind noise. Storage is a strong point: the house includes a fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, a separate storage room, a utility room and a basement level, alongside a large private underground parking area with direct access from the house, a configuration that leaves room for vehicles and seasonal equipment. The roof terrace carries a private jacuzzi and functions as an additional outdoor room with sea views. Several covered terraces extend the usable outdoor season by providing shade, while the ensuite bathroom adds privacy to the principal bedroom. The property is described as being in good condition and is sold fully furnished, meaning kitchens, bathrooms and flooring are in working order and can be inspected in person. As with any home from 2005, buyers may wish to assess the remaining lifespan of mechanical installations such as the boiler and air-conditioning units during a viewing. Overall, the specification is complete rather than luxurious: every functional category, heating, cooling, glazing, storage, parking, outdoor space, is covered, without reliance on a single premium feature.
The asking price is fixed at €417,000 for this existing townhouse. This covers a 271 m² home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a guest WC, multiple terraces, a roof terrace with jacuzzi, a private underground parking area and communal pool access, sold fully furnished. In the local context, new-build projects nearby start lower: Alonia in La Duquesa from €316,000 and Aby Upper in Estepona from €320,000, while Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts at €524,600. The price per square metre of this property therefore sits at roughly €1,540, reflecting its size and completed, furnished state rather than off-plan pricing.
Daily life in La Vizcaronda revolves around a quiet residential rhythm with the sea close at hand. The house occupies an elevated position within the gated community, which means sea views from every floor and a vantage point over the coastline towards the marina at La Duquesa. Mornings can begin on one of the terraces; the roof terrace with its private jacuzzi functions as an additional outdoor living room during the warmer months, and the Andalusian climate, an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, supports outdoor use for much of the year. The neighbourhood itself is residential and calm, with amenities concentrated around the marina and the coastal strip. Within 2 km there are 33 restaurants, four cafés, three pharmacies and a dentist, which covers most day-to-day needs without driving. A health centre, three primary schools and a secondary school are also in the area, making the location workable for families as well as holidaymakers. The beach at La Duquesa is about 600 metres away as the crow flies, on a flat route, so an evening walk to the sea or a morning swim requires no more than a few minutes on foot. The marina at Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, at 300 metres straight-line, adds restaurants and a social focal point within easy reach. Practical aspects are well arranged: the house has a large private underground parking area with direct internal access and room for storage, so groceries, beach gear and seasonal items all have a place. Outside the summer season the area quietens down noticeably, which suits residents seeking a slower winter rhythm, though some businesses operate reduced hours in the quieter months.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with practical density. Within a 2 km radius, the data lists 33 restaurants, four cafés, three pharmacies, a dentist, a health centre, three primary schools and one secondary school. This level of provision means daily errands can mostly be done on foot or with a short drive, and the area does not empty out outside the holiday season. The marina at Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, 0.3 km away in a straight line, acts as the social and gastronomic centre of the neighbourhood. Public transport is available with five lines and 29 stops in the area, which is workable for local journeys along the coast, though a car remains the practical choice for reaching Marbella, Estepona or the airports. By road, Málaga Airport is roughly one hour away and Gibraltar Airport around 30 minutes. Sports facilities include Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas at 3.0 km straight-line, and the beaches of La Duquesa (0.6 km) and Playa de la Chullera (2.6 km) offer the nearest coastal recreation. Larger towns frame the region: Algeciras at 32 km and Marbella at 35 km straight-line provide wider shopping, hospitals and cultural amenities, while Málaga city at 83 km is a destination for occasional trips rather than weekly routines.
The map shows the property's position between the marina of La Duquesa and the golf courses of the Manilva coast. The beach lies a short walk downhill, while Sotogrande, Estepona and Marbella line up along the coast to the west and east.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Manilva and La Duquesa occupy the western end of the Costa del Sol, between Estepona and Sotogrande. Marbella lies 35 km to the east and Algeciras 32 km to the west, both in a straight line, positioning the property roughly midway between the two anchors of the coast's western half. Málaga city and its airport sit 83 km and 74 km away respectively, while Gibraltar Airport at 25 km straight-line, about 30 minutes by car, provides a closer flight option unusual for most Costa del Sol locations. This places the property in the quieter, more golf- and marina-oriented part of the coast.
The nearest beach, La Duquesa, lies 0.6 km away as the crow flies, reachable on foot along a flat route with a gradient of about 2.3%. The marina of Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa is 0.3 km straight-line, effectively around the corner. Three golf courses sit within a short drive: Doña Julia at 2.5 km, Golf Academy Albayt Resort at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km, all straight-line distances, actual road distances will be somewhat longer. Airport access is twofold: Gibraltar Airport lies about 25 km away straight-line, roughly a 30-minute drive, while Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is about 74 km straight-line, approximately one hour by car. Public transport consists of five lines serving 29 stops in the area, adequate for coastal trips; for most other journeys a car is the practical option. The private underground parking with direct access from the house makes car ownership straightforward.

The location sits at 14 metres above sea level with a flat approach to the beach, so there are no significant climbs between the house and the coast. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, and the swimming season, the period with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months. This supports beach and terrace use from late spring into early autumn, while the jacuzzi on the roof terrace extends outdoor comfort into the cooler evenings of spring and autumn. Winters are mild by northern European standards, and the house is equipped for them with central heating, a fireplace and double glazing. The coastline around Manilva combines beach coves with the green of nearby golf courses, and Playa de la Chullera at 2.6 km adds a second coastal option within easy reach. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half-year, which keeps the summer months reliably dry.

The two nearest beaches are La Duquesa at 0.6 km and Playa de la Chullera at 2.6 km straight-line. La Duquesa beach sits next to the marina, where the 33 restaurants within 2 km are largely concentrated, giving the coastline a lively but not crowded character. Recreation extends beyond the beach: three golf courses within 6.3 km, Doña Julia, Golf Academy Albayt Resort and Estepona Golf, place the property in one of the denser golf corridors of the western Costa del Sol. The communal swimming pools of La Vizcaronda provide an alternative to the beach on hotter days, and the roof terrace jacuzzi offers private relaxation at home. For organised sport, Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas lies 3.0 km away. Two marinas are within easy reach: Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa at 0.3 km and Puerto de Sotogrande at 8.9 km straight-line, the latter being one of the most well-known marinas on the Andalusian coast.
