This project features a renovated townhouse located in Manilva, in the province of Málaga. The residence offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a living area of 70 m². The location is characteristic of the western Costa del Sol: close to the Mediterranean Sea and amenities such as supermarkets and dining within walking distance. With a plot size of 20 m² and a private garden, the project offers outdoor space, while the communal swimming pool shares facilities with the surroundings. The property is suitable for both permanent residency and use as a holiday home.
Compared to the 'Acqua Gardens' project in Estepona, starting from €418,800, this project in Manilva offers a lower entry price. Also in comparison to 'Aby Upper' in Estepona (from €320,000), the price in Manilva is more attractive. The price difference can be explained by the location; Estepona has a more developed urban infrastructure. However, Manilva offers direct access to the same coastline and golf courses, but at a lower price point.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is situated in an urban environment in Manilva, near the coastline. The location provides direct access to local amenities; a supermarket is located 315 meters away and a pharmacy at 159 meters. This setting ensures a functional living environment where daily groceries and services are within easy reach. The location is near the beaches of Playa de Manilva and La Duquesa.
This property meets the desire for low-maintenance living near the coast. The layout across multiple levels, including a solarium, creates distinct zones for living and sleeping. The presence of a private terrace and a communal pool facilitates outdoor living and social interaction. The fully fitted kitchen and included furniture lower the threshold for immediate occupancy or rental.
While the project features modern amenities such as an open-plan kitchen and air conditioning, it is an existing property in good condition. There is no new construction development with future handover; the home is available immediately. Any renovations or upgrades fall under regular maintenance and permits for existing buildings.
The project does not have a large plot; the garden is 20 m², meaning outdoor space is limited to terraces and a communal garden area. It is not an apartment, but it does require maintenance of the private outdoor space. The location is urban, which means there is less absolute silence than in rural areas. Parking is likely on-site or on the public road.
This project fits well with buyers looking for a turnkey home in a lively environment. It is suitable for couples or small families who prefer an upper house with a solarium over a ground-floor apartment. Also for investors considering rental options, the proximity to beaches and amenities is relevant. The home requires no major renovations, making it attractive for those wishing to use the property immediately without construction delays.
The home is finished with materials suitable for long-term use in a coastal climate. The presence of air conditioning in all bedrooms ensures temperature control during the warmer months. The kitchen is fully fitted and of the 'open plan' type, contributing to a sense of space in the living room. Bathrooms are equipped with shower facilities. The quality of hardware and general finish is considered 'good'. For the outdoor area, tiling and low-maintenance planting have been used.
The asking price for this home starts from €262,500. Compared to new developments in surrounding towns like Estepona, where prices for similar homes often exceed €320,000, this is a competitive price point. The price reflects the status of existing construction and the compact dimensions of the plot. Account has been taken of the necessary amenities already present, such as furniture and kitchen appliances.
This is a place for those seeking a balance between a Spanish town and beach life. The morning can start with coffee on the private front terrace, followed by a visit to the nearest supermarket just 300 meters away. In the afternoon, the solarium on the top floor offers a spot for the sun, while the communal garden provides coolness. Evenings can be spent in the living room with an open-plan kitchen or in one of the local restaurants nearby. The coastal location of Manilva means the sea breeze is constant, and the route to the beach is a walk of a few kilometers. Daily life is defined by the proximity of amenities and the social dynamics of a residential neighborhood.
The surroundings of Manilva offer a mix of permanent residence and tourism. With 18,165 inhabitants, there is an active community. The presence of four restaurants within walking distance and a café provides social amenities. For daily groceries, there is a supermarket at 315 meters. Medical facilities are close by with a pharmacy at 159 meters and a health center in the municipality. The presence of a sports center at 400 meters offers opportunities for exercise.
The map shows the location of the home in relation to the coastline and amenities in Manilva. Distances to beaches and airports are measured as the crow flies.
Manilva is located on the southwestern edge of the province of Málaga, bordering Cádiz. This places the project in the region of Western Costa del Sol. The location is strategic relative to larger coastal towns like Estepona and Marbella on one side and Gibraltar on the other. It is an area still developing, but already possessing a basic infrastructure.
The nearest beach, Playa de Manilva, is located at a distance of 2.5 kilometers (as the crow flies). La Duquesa Marina lies 3.0 kilometers away. For golfers, Finca Cortesín Golf Club is accessible at 3.3 kilometers. Málaga Airport is located 26 kilometers away, connecting the location to international traffic. A car is useful for visiting beaches and larger cities, but not strictly necessary for daily amenities.
