This semi-detached house is located in La Duquesa, on the western Costa del Sol in the province of Málaga, within walking distance of the marina and the beach. The property offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a WC, a built area of 190 m² and a plot of 440 m², and was completed in 1987 in good condition. The house includes a private pool, a basement, underground private parking for more than one vehicle and terraces with sea and garden views. The asking price is fixed at €595,000. Distances below are straight-line distances unless stated otherwise.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Duquesa sits on the coast between Estepona and Sotogrande, at 14 metres above sea level. The marina, Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, lies 0.3 km away, the beach 0.6 km, and shops, restaurants and schools are within a 2 km radius. The terrain towards the sea is flat, with an average gradient of 2.3%.
The house combines a residential layout with holiday-oriented features: three bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, fitted wardrobes, a utility room, a fully fitted kitchen and both covered and open private terraces. The east-west orientation provides sun exposure in the morning and afternoon. A private pool and garden complete the outdoor space.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home completed in 1987 and offered key-ready. The listed condition is good, with double glazing and fibre optic already installed. Any refurbishment needs would be assessed during a viewing. Purchase means a direct transfer of an existing property rather than an off-plan construction phase.
The property does not offer sea views from every room; views are a mix of sea, garden and street. There is no mention of a communal pool or communal gardens, outdoor facilities are private. The house dates from 1987, so the construction predates current new-build standards. Furniture is optional and availability is subject to the sales process.
This property fits a buyer seeking an existing, key-ready home near the sea who does not want to wait for an off-plan construction phase. Recognisable situations include: a second-home buyer wanting a private pool and garden within walking distance of the beach and marina; a family needing three bedrooms near primary and secondary schools and a health centre; or a buyer of a holiday-let property, given the area's profile in the golf and holiday-home categories. The 1987 construction may also suit someone prepared to modernise selectively, using the existing good condition, double glazing and fibre optic as a base. It is less suited to buyers who require contemporary new-build specifications or communal facilities such as a shared pool and landscaped communal grounds. A car is useful: Gibraltar airport is roughly 25 km away straight-line and Málaga airport about 74 km, so access is reasonable but not immediate. The flat terrain and the 2 km amenity radius make the location workable year-round, including for older residents. Buyers comparing against new-build alternatives should weigh the fixed €595,000 asking price against the additional costs of any refurbishment.
The house is listed in good condition with a set of practical features already in place. Double glazing is installed throughout, contributing to insulation and noise reduction near the coastal road network. Fibre optic connectivity supports remote work and streaming. The kitchen is fully fitted, bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, and the master bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom alongside two further bathrooms and a WC distributed across the 190 m² of built area. The interior, as shown in the listing photographs, features a modern kitchen open to the living area, tiled dining and living spaces, and bedrooms with wooden floors and patterned wallpaper, a mix of updated and older finishes typical of a 1987 property that has been partially renovated. The basement adds usable square metres for storage or auxiliary rooms. Security provisions include an entry phone. Outside, there is a covered terrace, a private terrace and a private pool, with the 440 m² plot providing garden space around the house. Parking is underground, private and sized for more than one vehicle, a practical point in a beachside area where street parking fills in summer. Utilities, electricity, drinkable water and telephone, are connected. No energy performance certificate details or structural survey results are provided in the source data; these would be verified during the purchase process.
The asking price is €595,000 on a fixed basis, not a from-price. This covers a semi-detached house of 190 m² built on a 440 m² plot, with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms plus a WC, a private pool, a basement and underground parking for more than one vehicle. For context, new-build apartments in the region start at considerably lower entry points, comparable projects list from €205,000 in Mijas to €321,000 in Estepona, but those are apartments rather than detached-format homes with private outdoor space in an established beachside setting. Availability depends on the current sales process.
Daily life around this house is shaped by the short distances that define La Duquesa. The marina is a few minutes' walk away (0.3 km straight-line), and the beach at La Duquesa lies 0.6 km from the door, reachable on foot along flat terrain. With 33 restaurants, 4 cafés and 3 pharmacies within 2 km, most everyday needs are covered without a car, although a vehicle remains practical for regional travel. The house itself supports a settled rhythm: morning sun on the east-facing terrace, the utility room and fitted kitchen handling household routines, and the private pool and garden providing outdoor space that does not depend on communal facilities. For families, 3 primary schools and 1 secondary school are in the area, along with a health centre. The 190 m² of built space, including a basement, offers room for storage or additional living functions. In the evenings, the covered terrace and the west orientation extend the usable hours outdoors. The neighbourhood sits within an established coastal urbanisation that is active year-round, supported by roughly 1,351 housing transactions per year in the wider area, a market with steady turnover rather than a purely seasonal one.
The immediate surroundings combine coastal leisure with everyday infrastructure. Within 2 km, the area counts 33 restaurants, 4 cafés, 3 pharmacies, a dentist and a health centre. Education is represented by 3 primary schools and 1 secondary school, which is notable for a coastal urbanisation and supports permanent residence rather than only seasonal use. Public transport consists of 5 lines with 29 stops, giving limited but real connectivity along the coast; for most residents a car remains the primary mode of travel. Sports facilities include Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas at 3.0 km, and the forested areas inland provide walking options. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa at 0.3 km functions as the social centre of the neighbourhood, with Sotogrande's marina 8.9 km further along the coast. The location sits at 14 m elevation with a flat 2.3% gradient to the beach, so walking and cycling are realistic for daily errands. The wider region anchors the position: Algeciras (121,957 inhabitants) is 32 km straight-line away, Marbella (147,958) at 35 km, and Málaga city (579,076) at 83 km, placing the property in the quieter western stretch of the Costa del Sol.

La Duquesa occupies the western end of the Málaga Costa del Sol, close to the Cádiz provincial border. Marbella lies 35 km straight-line to the east and Estepona roughly between the two, while Algeciras and Gibraltar are to the west. Compared with the Marbella, Benalmádena corridor, this stretch is less densely developed and more oriented towards golf, marinas and low-rise residential urbanisations. The position gives residents a quieter base with straightforward access westwards to Sotogrande and Gibraltar and eastwards to Estepona and Marbella.
Straight-line distances frame the accessibility of the property. The beach at La Duquesa is 0.6 km away and Playa de la Chullera 2.6 km. Golf options are close: Doña Julia at 2.5 km, the Golf Academy Albayt Resort at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km. For air travel, Gibraltar airport is roughly 25 km straight-line and Málaga-Costa del Sol about 74 km; actual driving distances are longer. By road, the A-7 coastal motorway connects the area to Estepona, Marbella and Málaga to the east and Sotogrande and Algeciras to the west. Public transport covers 5 lines with 29 stops in the area, sufficient for local trips but not a full substitute for a car. Underground private parking for more than one vehicle at the house removes day-to-day parking concerns.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean coastal profile. The average annual temperature is 18.5°C, and the swimming season, periods with sea water at 20°C or above, lasts about 5 months, spanning roughly late May to October. At 14 m above sea level with a flat gradient towards the shore, the property has no significant slopes to negotiate on foot. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter months, leaving long dry summers, a pattern that makes the terraces and private pool usable for most of the year, with the covered terrace extending outdoor living into shoulder seasons. The proximity to both sea and forest areas provides varied microclimates within short distances.

Recreation options cluster within a few kilometres. The nearest beach, La Duquesa, lies 0.6 km away, with Playa de la Chullera at 2.6 km offering a quieter alternative. Two marinas are within reach: Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa at 0.3 km, effectively the neighbourhood's waterfront promenade with its restaurants and berths, and Puerto de Sotogrande at 8.9 km, one of the largest marinas on this coast. Golf is a defining feature of the area, Doña Julia (2.5 km), the Golf Academy Albayt Resort (4.9 km) and Estepona Golf (6.3 km) provide three courses within a short drive. For organised sport, Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas is 3.0 km away. The 5-month swimming season and the flat coastal terrain support cycling and walking as year-round activities.

Within the regional context, this property occupies a distinct segment. Comparable new-build projects on the Costa del Sol, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, offer apartments at lower entry prices, but in formats without a private plot, private pool or the established character of a 1987 beachside urbanisation. The fixed €595,000 asking price here buys a semi-detached house with 440 m² of land, underground parking for multiple vehicles and walkable access to the marina and beach. Location-wise, La Duquesa sits west of the Marbella axis: 35 km straight-line from Marbella and 83 km from Málaga city, but only 25 km from Gibraltar airport. This positioning favours buyers who value proximity to Sotogrande, golf courses and the quieter western Costa del Sol over the denser central corridor. Market activity in the area is substantial for its size, with about 1,351 housing transactions per year, indicating liquidity for resale. The provincial median income of €16,450 reflects the wider province, not the coastal micro-market, where international demand sets a different price level. Buyers weighing this house against new-build alternatives should consider that the 1987 construction carries older structural standards, offset by the location attributes, a 0.6 km beach distance and 0.3 km marina distance, that new projects in this price band rarely match.
