About the Property
Positioned directly on the shoreline in the sought after area of Cancelada, this exceptional beachfront property presents one of the rarest opportunities currently available on the Costa del Sol. Set on an impressive 3,310 m² plot with direct access to both the beach and the coastal promenade, the estate combines an unrivalled seafront setting with the scale and privacy that have become increasingly difficult to secure along this stretch of coastline.
The existing villa offers approximately 200 m² of built space and is surrounded by mature gardens that create a peaceful and secluded atmosphere. From both the interior and the grounds, uninterrupted views extend across the Mediterranean, providing an ever changing backdrop that defines everyday life by the sea. While the residence requires complete renovation, it represents an outstanding foundation for creating a bespoke home tailored to modern coastal living.
The generous dimensions of the plot allow for remarkable design flexibility, making it possible to envision a contemporary residence that fully embraces its privileged beachfront position. Expansive living spaces, seamless indoor and outdoor transitions, generous terraces and beautifully landscaped gardens could all be incorporated to maximise the property's exceptional surroundings. The combination of direct sea frontage, substantial land and complete creative freedom offers a unique opportunity to craft a residence that is both timeless and highly individual.
Outdoor living is naturally at the heart of the property. Established greenery provides privacy throughout the grounds, while the existing swimming pool and terraces enjoy a tranquil setting overlooking the sea. With the promenade just beyond the garden, residents can step directly onto the coastline for morning walks, cycling routes or relaxed afternoons on the beach, all without leaving the privacy of their own home.
Cancelada has become one of Estepona East's most desirable residential locations, appreciated for its relaxed atmosphere, excellent amenities and convenient position between Marbella and Estepona town. A selection of restaurants, cafés, shops and everyday services are all within easy reach, while several international schools make the area particularly attractive for permanent living. Renowned golf courses including Los Flamingos Golf, El Paraíso Golf Club and Atalaya Golf & Country Club are only a short drive away, offering year round leisure opportunities in one of Southern Europe's premier golfing destinations.
The nearby coastline is home to a collection of respected beach clubs and fine dining venues, while the vibrant centres of Estepona, San Pedro Alcántara and Puerto Banús are all easily accessible. Fast connections to the AP 7 motorway ensure convenient travel to Marbella, Málaga Airport and the wider Costa del Sol, making the property equally well suited as a permanent residence, holiday retreat or long term investment.
Opportunities to acquire first line beachfront plots of this scale have become exceptionally scarce, particularly in established locations where new land is no longer entering the market. Whether transformed into an outstanding contemporary residence or held as a strategic real estate asset, this property represents an increasingly rare chance to secure one of the Costa del Sol's most valuable and irreplaceable settings, combining direct beach access, complete privacy and enduring investment appeal.
