This project presents a renovated townhouse located in the urban core of Manilva, situated 60 meters from the coastline. With a living area of 70 m² spread over three floors, the residence offers functionality for permanent living or extended stays. The location within an existing residential area combines direct access to local amenities with proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. The property type is suitable for residents prioritizing walkability over the seclusion of a resort complex.
Compared to projects in Estepona, like Acqua Gardens (from €418,800) and Aby Upper (from €320,000), this Manilva property offers a lower entry price. The price difference reflects the condition (existing vs. new) and distance to exclusive marinas. However, the cost per square meter is favorable here. Where new builds in Estepona offer high-level communal facilities, this home offers privacy and direct integration into local village life.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is positioned in an urban environment on the southwestern coast of Málaga. The distance to Playa de Manilva beach is 60 meters as the crow flies. Essential amenities such as a supermarket (259 m) and a pharmacy (155 m) are within walking distance. The proximity to major roads ensures connectivity with surrounding coastal towns.
This townhouse accommodates basic residential needs with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The layout features a living area on the ground floor, a sleeping level, and a rooftop terrace. The inclusion of a private patio and a rooftop terrace provides outdoor space independent of common zones.
The property has a 'Ready' status, indicating immediate availability for occupancy. No construction timelines or completion dates apply. The condition corresponds to an existing building in an urban setting.
The project does not offer communal resort facilities such as a spa, gym, or 24-hour security. Parking is on-street public parking; no private garage or off-street parking space is included. The location within a busier urban area may result in more ambient noise compared to isolated developments.
This property fits situations requiring a direct, hassle-free move to living in Spain without waiting for construction. The layout suits couples or small families needing multiple sleeping quarters for guests or home offices. The location does not mandate car dependency for daily amenities, appealing to those who prefer walking or cycling. It is also relevant for buyers seeking a fully finished home ready for immediate use without undertaking renovation projects.
The finishings prioritize functionality suitable for the Costa del Sol climate. Floors are marble and wood, aiding climate control. Technical installations include air conditioning and a fireplace for cooler evenings. The open-plan kitchen connects to the dining area, maximizing living space. Outdoor areas include a barbecue installation, extending livability outdoors. The finish is consistent with standards for permanent habitation in the region.
The asking price for this property starts from €247,000. This represents the purchase price including agency fees and VAT (seller paid). Buyers must account for additional costs, including Property Transfer Tax (ITP), notary fees, and registry fees. The price point positions the property in the segment of accessible coastal homes without the premium of new construction status.
Living in Manilva here implies a direct connection to daily life in a Spanish coastal town. Residents live a stone's throw from the sea, yet not in an isolated vacation park. Grocery shopping, local dining, or visiting the pharmacy are part of a walk through the neighborhood. The presence of a health center and various sports facilities in the immediate vicinity supports a practical lifestyle. The rhythm of the day is defined by the sun on the south-facing terrace and the proximity to the water, returning to a private rooftop terrace with views of the mountains and sea.
The infrastructure offers convenience. A supermarket is located 259 meters away for daily needs. Medical care is accessible with a pharmacy at 155 meters and a hospital at 5.7 km. The nearest golf course, Finca Cortesín Golf Club, is 3.5 km away, offering recreational options. The district offers basic amenities including schools and parks, making it suitable for longer stays.
The map visualization shows the direct location of the property within Manilva's urban structure. The nearest coastline and amenities are displayed within a 300-meter radius, highlighting the walkability. Distances to golf courses and airports are measured as the crow flies.
Manilva is located at the southwestern border of Málaga province, near Cádiz. This position on the Costa del Sol Occidental offers a quieter living environment compared to the busy center of Marbella but with full access to the same amenities. The location represents an 'end of the road' scenario in a positive sense; one is in an urban environment on the edge of the popular coast. This results in a mix of local Spanish culture and international presence.
The location is strategic for travelers. Málaga Airport is accessible within a distance of approximately 75 kilometers (under an hour). Frequent international travelers may find Gibraltar Airport, at 26 kilometers, a practical alternative. Coastal roads connect Manilva efficiently to larger hubs like Estepona and Marbella. Beach access is direct; Playa de Manilva is 60 meters away.
