An elevated ground floor with sea views and a 600-metre walk to the sand

An elevated ground floor position gives this 2 bedroom ground floor apartment in Casares Playa open views to the sea while keeping the day-to-day convenience of ground-level access. Ground floor homes on the coast often trade their outlook for easy access or look straight into a boundary wall, whereas the raised level here clears the immediate foreground to look across the communal grounds toward the water. It also means passers-by in the gardens are not looking directly into the rooms, solving the main privacy complaint buyers have with standard ground-floor layouts.

The 75 m² built area and recent renovation

Inside, the 75 square metres of built area hold two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Having a second bathroom means visiting guests do not share with the main bedroom, and two couples can use the flat without queuing in the morning. The interior has been completely renovated in a contemporary style, which spares a buyer the months of dealing with local trades, dust, and permit delays that come with updating an older resale property in this area. A buyer viewing the flat should ask to see the paperwork and guarantees for the renovation to confirm whether the plumbing and wiring were replaced alongside the visible surfaces.

South-facing terrace and what the community includes

Outside, the 25-square-metre terrace faces south and looks out over the landscaped gardens, the communal swimming pools, and the sea. Because the terrace combines both covered and open sections, there is shade for a table during the brightest hours of a summer afternoon and an unshaded area for catching the sun in winter when the light sits lower in the sky. Within the gated community, residents share landscaped gardens and more than one swimming pool. A private parking space sits directly in front of the apartment's entrance inside the gates, so unloading luggage or shopping from the car involves a walk of a few paces rather than a trip up from an underground garage.

Walking to the beach and driving to Estepona

The shoreline is 600 metres from the development, which works out to a 15-minute walk to the wide sandy beaches of Casares Costa. Because the walk takes a quarter of an hour over a distance of 600 metres, a buyer should walk the route during a viewing to check the gradient on the way back up from the sea and see where the road crossings sit. For wider errands, shops, and marinas, this 2 bedroom ground floor apartment in Casares Playa is a 15-minute drive from Estepona and 30 minutes by car from Marbella. The golf course at Finca Cortesín is also nearby for anyone who plays regularly.
