Second-floor living in Alcorrín with sea views and a deferred handover

Walking to the beach takes around twenty minutes from this hillside spot between Manilva and Sotogrande. This 1 bedroom top floor apartment in Manilva sits in the Alcorrín area, offering a 51 m² built area paired with an elevated outlook over the Mediterranean and the surrounding countryside. It is a compact resale home on the second floor of a building without a lift, which keeps the sightlines clear and the communal upkeep simpler, though it means carrying shopping up two flights of stairs.

Completion timeline and occupancy terms

Before looking at the rooms, a buyer needs to understand the handover structure. The sale must complete no later than 31 October 2026, and following completion, the current owner will remain in the property free of rent until June 2027. A separate right-of-use agreement will be signed at the same time as the transfer of ownership to govern the responsibilities of both parties during those months. Because of this, the flat will not work for anyone needing immediate occupation after signing at the notary, but it suits a buyer planning ahead for mid-2027.

The 51 m² layout and access

Inside, the open-plan kitchen and lounge share a single room, making the best use of the footprint without losing square metres to unnecessary corridors. Large double patio doors let daylight deep into this main room and connect it directly to the outside space. A single bedroom and one bathroom complete the layout. With no lift in the block, a viewer should check the width and steepness of the communal staircase, especially when thinking about moving furniture or carrying luggage.

The 15 m² terrace and the community grounds

The standout element of this 1 bedroom top floor apartment in Manilva is the 15 m² terrace, which acts as a second room for most of the year. Fifteen square metres is large enough for a dining table and two sun loungers without feeling cramped, and the top-floor position gives uninterrupted panoramic views toward the sea. Downstairs, the community shares a swimming pool and communal gardens, giving residents somewhere to swim and sit outside without having to maintain private grounds.

Getting to the beach, La Duquesa and Estepona

Alcorrín sits in the western stretch of the municipality, towards the Cádiz border. While the shoreline is a 20-minute walk away, daily errands require a car. The marina at La Duquesa is a 3-minute drive for supermarkets, cafés and restaurants. Heading east, the town centre, old quarter and beachfront promenade of Estepona take 20 minutes by car.
