Andalucia, Malaga, Estepona, Spain

Properties like this are becoming increasingly rare on the Costa del Sol. A home that offers complete tranquillity and connection to nature, while remaining just minutes from the beach, the centre of Estepona, and Puerto Banús.

Located in the sought-after area of El Padrón in East Estepona, this charming Andalusian cortijo enjoys a privileged setting overlooking the fertile valley of the Río Padrón, with open views stretching towards the Mediterranean Sea and Gibraltar. Despite its peaceful countryside atmosphere, the property is only 3 km from some of Estepona’s best beaches, 5 km from the town centre, and approximately 19 km from Puerto Banús.

Set on a private large fenced plo, the finca is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens with automatic irrigation, mature vegetation, and multiple outdoor spaces designed to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle throughout the day. Three terraces with south, east, and west orientations allow for sun from morning to evening, while the natural surroundings create a unique sense of calm, privacy, and open sky rarely found so close to the coast.

The main house is an authentic Andalusian cortijo, carefully renovated while preserving its original charm and character. Solid pine wood carpentry, fireplaces, and warm natural materials create an inviting atmosphere throughout the home. The layout includes a spacious living and dining area, kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms.

Connected to the main house, yet fully independent, there is also a guest apartment with its own bathroom, kitchenette, and fireplace, ideal for visitors, extended family, staff accommodation, or generating additional rental income. Higher up within the garden, a separate detached room currently used as a studio offers further flexibility and was previously used as a children’s playroom.

Beyond its lifestyle appeal, this property also represents a truly valuable asset. It holds a valid tourist rental licence, full legal documentation, and a certificate confirming no urban planning infringements — an increasingly uncommon combination for countryside properties on the Costa del Sol. In addition, seven solar panels significantly reduce energy costs, with electricity bills close to zero.

A home defined not only by its location and charm, but by a feeling that is increasingly difficult to find: silence, privacy, nature, and authenticity, all within minutes of the coast.
