This property is ideally suited for the handy DIY enthusiast dreaming of an authentic Spanish 'Finca - Cortijo' in a bustling coastal city. It requires a significant investment of time and resources to fully realize its potential. Buyers seeking a tranquil, rustic atmosphere might find themselves at home here, despite the urban setting. It's an option for those looking for a project to renovate and personalize into a unique dwelling, potentially as a holiday home or for long-term residence. Investors seeking a project with potential for value appreciation after successful renovation may also find it appealing. Its direct proximity to amenities and the beach makes it attractive for individuals wishing to avoid a car-dependent lifestyle, although the limited living space is more suitable for singles, couples, or as a pied-à-terre.
The property is currently in a state requiring renovation. Existing features include a partially fitted kitchen and built-in wardrobes. Image descriptions suggest a functional bathroom with a tiled shower. The finishes are expected to be of an older standard, given the need for modernization. While specific details on flooring, walls, or window types are absent, the property's condition implies that a complete overhaul of finishes will be necessary to meet modern living standards. The build quality of traditional 'fincas' varies; a thorough inspection during the purchase process is advisable.
The asking price for this finca is €425,000. The property comprises 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with an internal living area of 48 m². The plot size is 122 m². This pricing positions the property in the lower segment of the Marbella market, especially considering the required renovations. The limited dimensions and condition are factors influencing the price. Comparable projects in the vicinity, such as 'Be Aloha' (€475,000), 'Nikki Living' (€450,000), and 'Armonia' (€470,452), appear to be in slightly better condition or larger, indicating the relative positioning of this property.

The area boasts a high concentration of restaurants (132 within 2 km), indicating a dynamic social scene. The ample presence of schools (41 primary, 28 secondary schools within the municipality) suggests an environment that could also be attractive to families, although the property itself offers limited living space. The location balances urban activity with coastal proximity.

Compared to other projects in Marbella, such as 'Be Aloha' (from €475,000), 'Nikki Living' (from €450,000), and 'Armonia' (from €470,452), this finca positions itself as a budget-friendly option, primarily due to its renovation needs. The lower price per square meter can be attractive for buyers willing to invest in transforming the property. Its location in an urban area with direct access to amenities and the beach is shared with many other offerings in Marbella. However, the specific combination of a 'Finca - Cortijo' type property with this central, walkable location is relatively rare. Projects like 'Be Aloha' and 'Nikki Living' may offer more modern facilities or larger living spaces, but this finca provides an opportunity to create an authentic, personalized retreat with unique character, something generic apartments or villas may not offer as readily. The pricing reflects its current condition and the work required to realize its potential.
