A three-bedroom detached villa in the Hacienda Guadalupe urbanisation at La Duquesa, on the western Costa del Sol. The property offers 145 m² of living space on a 422 m² plot, with a recently renovated interior, two bathrooms, sea views and a south-facing orientation. The exterior is unfinished, allowing a future owner to design the outdoor areas. The asking price is fixed at €556,000. The villa stands approximately 600 m from La Duquesa beach and 300 m from Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, within a residential area with golf, schools and daily amenities nearby.
Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a specific niche: an existing detached house at €556,000 with a fixed price, set against a new-build market dominated by apartments. Comparable new developments advertise from €205,000 at Lantana Residencial in Mijas, from €269,950 at Aquamar in Torre del Mar and from €321,000 at Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona. Those figures typically apply to apartments, not detached villas, so the comparison is one of budget allocation rather than like-for-like product. What this property offers instead of new-build warranties is space and land: 145 m² of living area plus a 422 m² plot with a garage, within walking distance of a marina and beach. That combination is difficult to reproduce at new-build pricing on the coast, where detached products generally start well above this level. The trade-off is real and should be weighed directly. The building dates from 1970, so structural elements, roof, windows, wiring and plumbing, require inspection despite the renovated interior, whereas a new-build buyer receives a ten-year structural guarantee under Spanish law. The unfinished exterior cuts both ways: it reduces the immediate usability of the garden but also removes the premium developers charge for finished landscaping, giving the buyer control over that expenditure. Locationally, La Duquesa sits west of the main Marbella, Estepona price belt, which historically means lower entry prices and somewhat quieter winter months. Proximity to Gibraltar Airport (about 25 km straight-line) is a distinguishing practical advantage over locations served only by Málaga. Transaction activity of roughly 1,351 sales per year in the area suggests reasonable liquidity for a future resale, while the median provincial income of €16,450 indicates that international buyers operate in a somewhat separate price segment from the local market, relevant context for rental and resale expectations.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits in Hacienda Guadalupe, a residential urbanisation at La Duquesa, between Sabinillas and Sotogrande. The marina of Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa lies about 300 m away as the crow flies, and the nearest beach roughly 600 m. The terrain is flat, with a gradient to the sea of only 2.3%, making the walk to the coast straightforward for most residents.
The layout provides three bedrooms and two full bathrooms across 145 m², with a living and dining room, a fitted kitchen and a separate utility area. Air conditioning for hot and cold use, a fireplace, WiFi and a storage room are present. Part furnishing is included. The south-facing orientation supports natural light in the main living spaces throughout the day.
This is an existing property, originally completed in 1970, with the interior recently renovated and delivered key-ready. The exterior remains unfinished: the garden and outdoor areas await design and completion by the next owner. No construction phase or developer delivery schedule applies; the property can be occupied once the purchase is completed.
The property does not offer a completed garden or landscaped exterior; construction materials currently remain on the plot. No swimming pool is listed. The building dates from 1970, so the structure and installations reflect that era apart from the renovated interior. Furnishing is partial only. A car remains the practical means of transport for most journeys in this area.
This property fits a buyer who values a renovated interior but is willing to design the outdoor space personally, rather than pay a premium for a finished garden. It suits households that want to live year-round near the coast: the presence of primary and secondary schools, a health centre and everyday shopping within two kilometres distinguishes it from more seasonal resort locations. A retired couple seeking single-level living near the marina with a flat walk to the sea falls within the property's practical scope, given the minimal gradient. It may also suit a family wanting three bedrooms within walking distance of schools, or a buyer intending a second home with rental use outside the high season. It suits those less well who require a move-in-ready garden and pool, or who prefer new-build warranties over a 1970 structure with a modernised interior. The layout works for guests, since two full bathrooms reduce morning congestion. Buyers who plan to rely on public transport should note that five lines and 29 stops exist locally, but a car remains the practical choice for Estepona, Sotogrande and the airports.
The interior has been renovated recently, and the photographic record indicates the standard of that work: a modern kitchen with an island and sink unit, and a bathroom with a double-sink marble vanity. The living room retains a fireplace with shelving, and the property carries air conditioning units for both hot and cold operation, relevant for a climate with an annual average temperature of 18.5°C and warm summers. The kitchen is fully fitted, and a separate utility room supports day-to-day household management. A storage room adds capacity for seasonal items. The fabric of the building, however, dates from 1970. Buyers should assess the age of the roof, windows, electrical installation and plumbing beyond the renovated surfaces, as these elements determine long-term maintenance costs. The exterior is explicitly unfinished, with construction materials still on site. This is not a defect in the conventional sense, it is a deliberate point of the sale, but it does mean that terracing, walls, planting and any future pool must be specified, budgeted and executed by the new owner. Part furnishing is included, which may cover immediate use of some rooms while the outdoor works proceed. WiFi is installed, supporting remote work or extended stays.
The asking price is fixed at €556,000 for this existing villa. Unlike new-build developments in the region, there is no price list with unit variation; the figure applies to the property as it stands, including the renovated interior, garage and part furnishing. For context, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast currently advertise from €205,000 in Mijas, from €269,950 in Torre del Mar and from €321,000 in Estepona, typically for apartments rather than detached villas. Buyers should budget separately for completing the exterior works. Transaction volumes in the area run at roughly 1,351 per year, indicating an active local market.
Daily life at Hacienda Guadalupe revolves around the rhythm of a established residential urbanisation close to the coast. The marina, 300 m away as the crow flies, functions as the local social centre, with restaurants and cafés concentrated around its quays. Within a two-kilometre radius the data lists 33 restaurants, four cafés, three pharmacies and a dentist, which covers most daily needs without driving further. Three primary schools and one secondary school sit in the same radius, along with a health centre, a combination that supports year-round residence rather than purely holiday use. The villa itself is organised around a south-facing living and dining room that benefits from light and sea views. The kitchen is fully fitted, with a utility room keeping laundry and storage out of the main circulation. Three bedrooms allow a main room, a guest room and a workspace. The flat terrain and 14 m elevation mean no significant climbs on foot to the beach or marina. For exercise, paddle tennis facilities are on site, and Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas lies about 3 km away. The unfinished exterior means the first months of ownership will likely involve decisions about terracing, planting and shade, work at the owner's own pace rather than a fixed schedule.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with an unusually dense concentration of leisure facilities. Within two kilometres lie 33 restaurants, four cafés, three pharmacies and a dentist, the profile of a settled neighbourhood rather than a seasonal enclave. The marina at La Duquesa, 300 m away as the crow flies, anchors local social life. Beyond the immediate radius, the golf infrastructure is notable: Doña Julia golf course lies 2.5 km away, the Golf Academy at Albayt Resort 4.9 km, and Estepona Golf 6.3 km. Beach options include La Duquesa at 600 m and Playa de la Chullera at 2.6 km. For organised sport, Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas sits 3 km from the property. Larger centres are reachable by car: San Luis de Sabinillas with its beachfront chiringuitos is about four minutes' drive, Estepona's historic centre roughly fifteen minutes, and Sotogrande and its marina close by. Marbella lies 35 km and Algeciras 32 km away in straight-line terms. Five public transport lines with 29 stops serve the locality, though most residents use a car.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Duquesa occupies the western Costa del Sol between Estepona and Sotogrande, about 35 km from Marbella and 32 km from Algeciras in direct distance. This position places it closer to Gibraltar Airport (about 25 km) than to Málaga Airport (about 74 km), which influences arrival logistics for international buyers. The area functions as a quieter alternative to the Marbella, Estepona belt, with marina, golf and beach infrastructure but lower population density. Málaga city, at 83 km, serves as the regional capital for services beyond local provision.
The nearest beach, La Duquesa, lies 600 m away as the crow flies, with a flat 2.3% gradient between house and shore. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa is 300 m from the door, and Puerto de Sotogrande 8.9 km. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 25 km away in a straight line, often the practical arrival point for this part of the coast, while Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies about 74 km, an hour-plus drive depending on traffic. By car, Sabinillas is four minutes away, Estepona fifteen, and Marbella and Algeciras roughly 35 km and 32 km respectively in direct distance; actual road distances are longer. Public transport consists of five lines with 29 stops in the area, sufficient for occasional trips but not for daily commuting without planning. Golf, beaches, schools and healthcare all sit within a short drive or, in several cases, a walkable distance.

The location sits at 14 m above sea level on flat coastal terrain, which shapes both the walking environment and the climate experience. The average annual temperature is 18.5°C, typical of the western Costa del Sol, with mild winters and warm summers moderated by sea proximity. The swimming season extends to five months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, running roughly from late spring into early autumn. The south-facing orientation of the villa maximises exposure to this climate, and the sea views from the property are a consequence of the elevated position within the urbanisation relative to the surrounding ground. Rainfall concentrates in the winter half-year, leaving long dry stretches that favour outdoor living but also mean the unfinished garden will need irrigation planning. The flat gradient to the beach keeps walking and cycling practical throughout the year.

Two beaches sit within easy reach: La Duquesa at 600 m and Playa de la Chullera at 2.6 km, both straight-line figures. The marina district provides the main concentration of waterfront dining and strolling routes. Golf is a defining recreational feature of this stretch of coast, Doña Julia at 2.5 km, the Albayt Resort academy at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km give three options within a ten-minute drive. On the property itself, paddle tennis facilities are available within the urbanisation, and the 422 m² plot offers space for a private pool should the new owner include one in the exterior design, subject to the usual permissions. The sports centre at Las Viñas, 3 km away, covers indoor and court sports. Sotogrande, 8.9 km to the west, adds sailing and further leisure infrastructure around its marina.
