A 4 Bed, 3 Bath Duplex Penthouse Apartment with 5 Large Terraces.

I would first of all like to explain why we are selling our home in Spain as this is a question that normally arises from potential buyers.

When we put the deposit on this property, in between Estepona and Duquesa, over 3 years ago it was just my wife and I. Just 2 weeks later my wife fell pregnant with our (now 4 year old) son! It is now 2007 and we have a new addition in the way of our baby daughter Amber.

After much discussion (and arguing) we have regrettably decided to sell up and move back to the UK after 9 glorious years in Spain. This is mainly for our children to grow up and be around our large family as we have been here alone for most of the time.

We cannot afford to keep this place on and buy a home in the UK so keeping it is not an option unfortunately. Being a property photographer here on the Costa del Sol, I have seen and photographed many, many properties. When I saw these duplex penthouse apartments for sale in Estepona, I knew they would be something special.

If you are after a holiday home for your family, this apartment is ideal. It is safe with excellent security, close to the beach and large, popular towns and also close to the main highway with access to all areas including the airports.

If you are looking for an investment property to rent or let out, what more could you want? When you see the facilities that this apartment has to offer, who wouldn't want to use it for their holidays? It is perfect for large families or couples and especially so for golfers.

The income opportunities are fantastic….


Update: I got so fed up with any lack of help from the local real estate agencies, I decided to make my own (very amateur) video of the urbanisation...do have a look!



Latest News: Rumours are still rife that a new Disney theme park will be built 5 to 10KM behind our urbanisation! The only real discussion now is as to whether it will be an educational summer camp for children or a full scale theme park like Euro Disney...and when?

Either way, this can only mean one thing, fantastic rental potential for life in this area!

(If you Google search "Disney manilva Spain", you will see just how much interest this is generating).

Adding fuel to this is the fact that the Estepona and Duquesa/Manilva areas are being hugely upgraded with new roads, plans for the largest shopping center on the coast, a new hospital and a University!

All of this will be built far enough away from our home to be comfortable, but close enough to be on hand and make the apartment a real success.



Apartment for Sale in Estepona - The Property for Sale

Apartment for sale in Estepona

This property is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom "triplex" penthouse apartment. It is sometimes referred to as a triplex due to it being built over 3 floors with 5 terraces including a large roof terrace.

It is on the end of the block with just one apartment below and one to the right. All bedrooms are on the outer walls and I can honestly say I have never slept so well and peacefully in my 9 years in Spain.

The whole apartment is well soundproofed and is quiet! It also has marble floors and piped air-conditioning throughout.



Ground Floor

The main front door is a heavy, re-enforced security door with a six "dead-bolt" locking system. There is a very loud alarm system fitted with sensors on both floors.

The kitchen is fully fitted with Siemens appliances (Oven, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave) and has a large terrace leading off through the patio doors. The terrace also has a covered area leading off it for storage and drying clothes.

There is a hallway with fitted ceiling spotlights that leads to;

  • Guest shower room/toilet
  • 4th Bedroom/office with ADSL connection installed. Fitted wardrobes
  • Large Living Room with Sky Satellite TV and patio doors leading to large terrace with stunning mountain views. The terrace has a water tap and TV/Electricity Socket
  • Stairs to next floor

First Floor

Again, there is a hallway with ceiling spots leading to;

  • Second Bathroom with bath/shower, toilet and sink
  • 3rd Bedroom which will take a double bed and has fitted wardrobes
  • 2nd Bedroom with same as above and a small terrace
  • Master Bedroom with en-suite bathroom and very large terrace with water and TV/Electricity points and stunning views. It also has a computerised plant watering system
  • Stairs to roof terrace


Roof Terrace

The roof terrace is the largest of all 5 terraces and has a lot of potential. It, like the others, has water and TV/electrical points so it could house a Jacuzzi, BBQ or whatever takes your fancy!

The views are almost panoramic from the mountains to the sea and even Africa on a clear day. These will never be spoilt as the surrounding area has already been built upon.



Apartment for Sale in Estepona - Clubhouse and Practice Golf Course

One of the main features of the development that caught my eye, were the plans for a members clubhouse on site. At the time, this was one of the first of many new developments on the Costa del Sol to have such a thing.

It is now completed and being used and has the following excellent facilities;

  • Bar/Restaurant
  • Library seating area with Plasma TV and Sky Satellite plus card tables

  • Golf Shop

Apartment for Sale in Estepona - Beach Bar

Now fully operational, this new feature didn't even appear on the plans when we bought. It was only added recently and has become the centre-point of the urbanisation.

Whilst not strictly a beach bar, it does have 2 pools with one cascading into the other with large grassy surrounds for sunbathing.

The bar area is big enough to accomodate large parties and serves hot meals as well as snacks, Tapas and beverages.



Apartment for Sale in Estepona – The Urbanisation

The urbanisation has 24 hour security and a full postal service. There are plans to install Satellite TV but we have our own dish set up with English TV anyway which is included.

All apartment blocks are well spaced apart with nobody looking too closely over anyone else. The layouts of the buildings are 2-tier or simply an apartment on the ground floor with 2, 3 or 4 bed duplex penthouses above, nothing else.

There are various swimming pools dotted about so you are never far away from one.

A new shopping center is currently being built which will add great convenience to the whole urbanisation.

Underground Parking and storeroom. No lift.



Apartment for Sale in Estepona – Location

The Urbanisation is a 5 minute walk to a quiet beach and is located right in between the beautiful towns of Estepona and Duquesa on the Costa del Sol in Spain. It is also just 20 minutes from the famous Puerto Banus and 15 minutes from the luxurious Sotogrande and Valderrama with their Polo fields and Professional golf courses.

You are also just a 5 minute drive from Estepona and Duquesa golf courses and there are 4 new courses being built in the area as I write this!

A short journey inland will bring you to some of the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside areas that Spain and Andalucia has to offer.

Gibraltar is just a 20 minute drive away and the airport there is now accepting more and more flights to and from the UK.

Malaga Airport is less than 1 hour away using the toll road.

Apartment also available for long term rent (minimum 11 months). More details here.
