Mirador Estepona Hills

Mirador Estepona Hills is a gated scheme of 27 apartments on the rising ground above Estepona, aimed at buyers who want a town address without surrendering sea views, security or space. Twenty-four of the homes have already sold. The three that remain are two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments of 111 m², priced between €847,000 and €963,991 and handed over complete with furniture and fittings.

What sets them apart is in the detail rather than the brochure. Each faces south, with glazing on two sides so light crosses the rooms from breakfast through to evening. The living and dining space opens directly onto the terrace and the main terrace carries a retractable glass enclosure, which makes it a room you can use in January as readily as in July.

Both bedrooms look out to open sea. Beyond the front door, the grounds gather around a generous pool with further water features, mature trees and planted gardens, backed by a gym and round-the-clock security.

Be clear-eyed on two points. At roughly €7,600 per m², these homes sit well above the wider Costa del Sol median of €3,424 per m², which reflects new construction, resort amenities and turnkey delivery rather than a bargain.

And sources differ on walking distances: developer material places the old town a few hundred metres away, while other listings measure about fifteen minutes on foot.
