Project Analysis

Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.

Location

The property is situated in the Calahonda district of Málaga, within an established urbanisation. It is positioned between the coastline and the AP-7 motorway. The immediate surroundings consist of residential blocks and golf courses, with commercial centres located within walking distance.

Layout

The layout accommodates three bedrooms and two bathrooms within 80 m² of living space. The design prioritises outdoor living, featuring a 12 m² terrace accessible from the living area and a master bedroom, plus a separate 30 m² solarium. The kitchen is fully fitted and connects to the dining area.

Project Status

The complex was originally completed in 1988. This specific unit is classified as 'Ready' for occupation. Recent improvements include the modernisation of the bathrooms. The property is sold fully furnished, eliminating the need for immediate procurement of furniture.

Points of Attention

The property does not feature a private parking space or a dedicated storage room. As a second-floor unit in a building from 1988, it is unlikely to have a lift, which requires stair access. Energy efficiency standards correspond to the era of construction, rather than current new-build regulations.

The kitchen is fully fitted and connects openly to the dining area. Original features include a fireplace in the living area.

Regional Comparison

Compared to new developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar or Etherna Homes in Estepona, this property in Calahonda offers immediate availability and established surroundings, whereas the comparables involve waiting periods for construction. While Aquamar offers a lower entry price from €269,950, it is located further east. Lantana Residencial in Mijas is priced lower from €205,000 but represents a different market segment with smaller, newer units. This Calahonda penthouse commands a higher price due to the rarity of the solarium feature and the frontline golf position within a mature urbanisation, providing a different value proposition focused on space and views over the 'new build' premium.
