Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
La Mairena, situated at an altitude of 400 meters, provides views towards the Mediterranean Sea and mountains. Although it boasts a rural ambiance, it is only a few kilometers from the coastal town of Elviria and Marbella's amenities. A car is practically essential for exploring the surroundings and daily commutes.
This apartment appeals to buyers who value a peaceful living setting with space and amenities on a hilltop. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en-suite, offer comfort for families or guests. The spacious terraces and communal pool invite outdoor relaxation.
The apartment was completed in 2007, meaning it is not a new build in the strictest sense. It is an existing property with the build quality and finishes typical for that period. Its well-maintained condition contributes to the living comfort.
The apartment is not located directly on the beach. Public transport is limited, making a private car a necessity for daily travel. The property is situated at a considerable altitude, which may result in a steeper slope towards the coast and longer travel times than straight-line distances suggest.
This property is suitable for individuals or families seeking a permanent residence or an extended holiday home in a tranquil, natural setting with views. The three bedrooms provide ample space for a family or for hosting guests. Its elevated location, proximity to golf courses, and driving distance to Marbella appeal to those who enjoy an active yet serene lifestyle. It's an option for those who prefer established properties with a settled feel over new developments. The focus is on comfort, space, and a peaceful environment, with essential amenities nearby.
Completed in 2007, the apartment is presented in excellent condition. The kitchen is fully fitted, ensuring immediate usability. Climate control includes both air conditioning and pre-installation for hot air systems. The three bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, with the master bedroom boasting an en-suite bathroom. The apartment benefits from a separate storage room and a utility room. The presence of a lift and accessibility for people with reduced mobility are practical additions to its finishing.
This apartment is offered starting from €499,000. The pricing reflects its location in a sought-after area, the size of the living space, and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. As existing property from 2007, it is available for immediate purchase. Price variations per unit, if applicable, are not specified, but this represents a single offering for this particular apartment.

Compared to projects like Aquamar in Torre del Mar (starting from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (starting from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (starting from €259,000), this apartment in La Mairena positions itself in a higher price bracket, starting at €499,000. This price point is indicative of its specific hilltop location, apartment size, number of rooms, and established build quality from 2007. The proximity to Marbella and golf courses contributes to its appeal, while the quieter, more rural setting distinguishes La Mairena from more densely populated coastal areas like Torre del Mar or Estepona. The buyer profile attracted to this project likely seeks more tranquility and views than offered in the lower price segments of the comparable projects mentioned. The higher price may also be attributed to specific features such as its elevation, views, and its rural yet well-connected location.
