A top-floor home with a 307 m² wrap-around terrace

The Mediterranean Sea and the Andalusian mountains are visible from every room through a 360-degree orientation. This 3 bedroom penthouse in Mirador de Estepona Hills, Estepona is the only residence on its floor, which means no shared landing walls and no neighbours walking past the entrance. The registered figures show 108 m² of built area and a 307 m² terrace, bringing the combined footprint to over 400 m².

Two bedroom suites and a glass-enclosed office

Although registered as a three-bedroom apartment, the layout has been altered to prioritise room size over room count. Inside the main walls, the original footprint now forms two large bedroom suites and two bathrooms, with underfloor heating in the bathrooms. The third room has been created on the terrace using Lumon glass curtains and hot-and-cold air conditioning, currently fitted and used as a dedicated home office separate from the main living areas. A buyer who needs three conventional bedrooms behind solid walls should note this change before viewing, whereas someone who works from home gets a climate-controlled study with wide views. The furnishings inside the property are available by separate negotiation.

How the 307 m² terrace and community work

Around 100 m² of the outdoor area has been enclosed with Lumon glazing and full air conditioning, creating sheltered rooms that hold their temperature in winter and fold open in summer. That still leaves 200 m² of open terrace facing every point of the compass, so there is always a sunny side and a shaded side regardless of the hour. Downstairs, the development provides a communal pool and shared gardens. The sale includes two private parking spaces and a large storage room, which solves the practical problem of where to keep terrace cushions, bicycles and luggage when not in use. The community permits short-term holiday rentals, a rule worth verifying in the latest minutes of the owners' association if rental use is part of your plan for this 3 bedroom penthouse in Mirador de Estepona Hills, Estepona.

What to check when you view

Because the enclosed terrace zones do so much of the work here, check how the air conditioning handles a direct midday sun through the glass, and ask to see the paperwork for the layout alteration and the Lumon enclosure. Mirador de Estepona Hills sits above the town with road access down to the Estepona marina and beach promenade, and the AP-7 and A-7 connect the area to both Málaga and Gibraltar airports.
