Modern Apartment, Oceana Views, Estepona

The living and dining area is open-plan, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that bring plenty of natural light into the room and open directly onto the terrace. The kitchen sits alongside and is partially fitted, with gloss grey cabinetry, a built-in oven, an extractor hood and a stainless steel fridge freezer.

All three bedrooms are well-proportioned and each has fitted wardrobes. The two bathrooms are finished to a high standard in a modern style, with glass-screened walk-in showers and wall-hung vanity units.

The private terrace is long enough for an outdoor dining table and a lounge sofa, making it the natural place for meals and relaxing in the sun. From here the outlook takes in the landscaped communal gardens, the swimming pool and the surrounding residential area. Oceana Views is a secure, gated complex with well-kept gardens and a large communal pool.

Estepona East is a good place to live all year, with beaches, golf and daily services close at hand and Marbella within easy reach. Cancelada sits on the eastern side of Estepona, between the town and San Pedro Alcántara, and the village itself is a short distance away with its cafés, restaurants and local shops. Playa de Costalita is a four-minute drive, and Hospiten Estepona is five minutes by car. Golfers have La Resina Golf & Country Club an eight-minute drive away and Villa Padierna Golf Club a nine-minute drive away. Puerto Banús is a ten-minute drive, Marbella old town is a 21-minute drive and Málaga Airport is a 48-minute drive (70 km).

For buyers looking at apartments for sale in Estepona who want space, a private terrace and a gated setting close to the beach, this home in Oceana Views deserves a viewing. It suits a permanent residence, a holiday home or a rental investment.
