Penthouse in Estepona

This duplex penthouse in La Cartuja, Estepona, is designed for buyers who want the space and privacy of a house, but with the ease, security and low-maintenance lifestyle of a gated community.

With approximately 180 m² built and 118 m² of terraces and solarium, the property offers a generous layout across two levels, with open living areas, several outdoor spaces and a strong connection between the interior and the terraces. It is a home for those who value light, privacy, views and the possibility of living outside throughout much of the year.

The main level features a spacious living and dining area with fireplace and direct access to a covered terrace overlooking the landscaped gardens and surrounding mountains. The fully fitted kitchen has been renovated with a contemporary design and integrates naturally with the social areas of the home.

There are three bedrooms on this level, including a master suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, plus an additional bathroom and guest toilet. The layout makes the property practical both as a full-time residence and as a holiday home, offering comfortable private areas while keeping the main living spaces open and connected.

The upper level adds a highly distinctive lifestyle dimension. Here, a loft-style lounge with second kitchen and dining area opens onto a private terrace with barbecue, outdoor dining and chill-out zones. This space works particularly well for entertaining, hosting family and friends, or simply enjoying a more relaxed Mediterranean routine with complete privacy.

La Cartuja is an established gated complex surrounded by nature and close to some of the area’s most renowned golf courses, including Atalaya and El Paraíso. The community offers 24-hour security, extensive landscaped gardens, three communal swimming pools and tennis and paddle courts.

The location is especially convenient for buyers who want to stay close to Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús, while enjoying a quieter residential setting. International schools, restaurants, golf courses and everyday amenities are nearby, with easy access to the A-7 and approximately 50 minutes to Málaga Airport.

A strong option for international buyers, golf lovers, downsizers from a villa, or anyone looking for a spacious lock-up-and-leave home with privacy, terraces, security and lifestyle in one of the most practical residential areas between Estepona, Benahavís and Marbella.
