Property for Sale in Estepona

What you can buy in Marbella and the Costa del Sol

The market here is broader than its reputation suggests. At the top sit the hillside villas of Sierra Blanca, La Zagaleta and Cascada de Camoján, large private plots with mature gardens and, in most cases, a view that runs from Gibraltar to the coast of Africa. Below them, the Golden Mile and Puente Romano hold apartments and penthouses in some of the most established communities on the coast, while Nueva Andalucía and the golf valley offer townhouses and villas at a range of prices that surprises most first-time buyers.

Estepona and Benahavís widen the field again: contemporary villas above the coast road, gated communities around the golf courses, and beachside apartments in the New Golden Mile. Everything on this page is resale stock listed through agencies. New construction sold directly by developers is catalogued separately on our new developments page.

Where to buy on the Costa del Sol

Location decides value here more than anywhere else we work. The same square metre costs three times as much on the Golden Mile as it does twenty minutes inland, and the difference is not vanity: it is the sea, the schools, the drive to Málaga airport and the neighbours you will have. Our area pages set out each community in the detail a buyer needs before viewing: the Golden Mile, Sierra Blanca, Nagüeles, Cascada de Camoján, Puente Romano, Los Monteros, Nueva Andalucía, La Quinta, La Zagaleta, Puerto Banús, San Pedro de Alcántara, Marbesa, Costabella, Río Real, Bahía de Marbella, Marbella Centro, Marbella Old Town and Guadalmina. For the towns themselves, start with the guides to Marbella, Estepona and Benahavís.

How we work with buyers

Most of our clients are international and buying from a distance, so the work starts long before a viewing. We check the cadastral and registry position of anything you shortlist, the planning status of the plot, the community fees and running costs, and what the local market has actually been doing rather than what it is said to be doing. Our buyers guide sets out the process and the costs step by step, and the market data library holds the quarterly reports we publish on Marbella, Estepona and Benahavís.
