This project in Manilva features an apartment with sea views situated at 137 meters above sea level, part of a holiday complex with communal amenities. The property is a completed build with a southwest orientation. The designation 'Investment apartment' indicates a commercial setup with a tenancy agreement. The unit is offered fully furnished.
Compared to projects in Mijas (Arosa) and Fuengirola (Waterfall, Astra), the price in Manilva is significantly lower. Where comparable projects in the central Costa del Sol start above €360,000, this project in Manilva starts from €120,000. This indicates a difference in market segment and build quality. Manilva is further from Málaga-Center and the international airport of Málaga. However, Gibraltar airport (GIB) is close by. The region offers more value for money, but has less international allure than Marbella.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment is located in the municipality of Manilva, in the western Costa del Sol. The setting is urbanized with amenities within walking distance. A pharmacy is found at 159 meters, a supermarket at 315 meters, and a sports center at 400 meters. The coastline of Playa de Manilva is 2.5 kilometers away as the crow flies.
This unit functions as an investment property. The text 'Guaranteed annual yield' and 'Only IBI to pay' indicates that operation and maintenance are externally managed. There is an option for limited personal use of a maximum of 2 months per year during the low season. For permanent residence, this unit is unavailable due to the lease agreement.
The status is 'Completed'. There is no construction process or future handover date. The homes are 'fully furnished' and 'fully fitted'. Technical specifications include a communal swimming pool, a gated complex, and covered parking. Electricity is the standard utility.
The primary limitation is its use as a fixed investment asset. Permanent living is not possible due to the existing tenancy agreement. The 'Bargain' category and the low price of €120,000 (for a 1-bedroom unit based on data) suggest a specific market segmentation. The distance to the beach is 2.5 kilometers, requiring the regular use of a car.
This scenario fits investors looking for passive income without the need for intensive management. The structure with 'Guaranteed annual yield' and no community fees suits buyers who wish to waive usage. The region of Manilva, bordering Cádiz, suits buyers seeking the more authentic side of the Costa del Sol, away from the masses. The low entry price makes it accessible for those with a more limited budget.
The finish is described as 'Good' and 'Fully Furnished'. The kitchen is 'fully fitted'. Features include a covered terrace and views of the sea, country, and panoramic. The garden is 'Easy Maintenance', suggesting a water-wise design. The technical state of the building is intended for recreational use, which differs from residential new build.
The price is indicated as 'from €120,000'. This concerns a 1-bedroom apartment of 69 m². No variations in bedrooms or bathrooms are mentioned. Availability depends on the current occupancy rate of the complex. The property falls into the 'Bargain' and 'Cheap' categories, indicating an entry-level price for the real estate market.
The living environment in Manilva is characterized by a mix of local residence and tourism. With 18,165 inhabitants, it is a lively municipality. The presence of 34 local holidays per year points to an active cultural agenda. The proximity to Sotogrande (5 minutes drive) and the marina Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa at 3.1 kilometers offers recreational possibilities. The climate with 3,845 sun hours per year enables outdoor living for most of the year. The elevation of 137 meters above sea level provides ventilation and views of the coastline.
