A 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom ground floor apartment in the popular Benavista area of El Paraiso, Estepona. This is one of the best presented apartments available in the area and boasts a large 100m2 private garden with patio, which receives excellent sun throughout the day. The Benavista Commercial Centre can also be accessed directly from the back gate of the garden, which offers a full range of shops, banks, local services and restaurants only footsteps from the property.
Benavista is a fully gated community in a traditional Andalusian style which is popular with the international community. The community itself is well maintained with beautiful mature tropical gardens and water features as well as an excellent community swimming pool. There is a good mix of residents both national and international giving a good balance to the neighbourhood. Benavista enjoys an excellent location. The beach is less than a 5 minute walk and there is quick direct access to Estepona town centre, San Pedro de Alcantara and Puerto Banus all in less than 10 minute drive or bus. Furthermore the beautiful mountain village of Benahavis and resort of Marbella are conveniently close.
On entrance, the main living area is accessed to the right of the entrance hall where you will find a spacious living, dining room with an open plan modern kitchen area. The living area is tastefully decorated in neutral colours and has marble floors, ideal for the hot summer months. There is high speed fibre optic wifi and air conditioning installed and a new motorised patio awning (toldo) giving shade to the terrace. The living area leads out to the large private garden via the patio doors. The garden is much larger than average for an apartment and includes its own lemon tree. The garden is also very low maintenance as it is completely taken care of by the community gardeners and therefore means there is no need for the owners to water or mow the lawn or keep on top of the pruning of bushes or trees. There is also direct street access from the back gate, which makes it very convenient to reach the shops and restaurants nearby.
From the hallway, you will find the main bathroom and access to the 2 bedrooms. The main double bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, ceiling fan and patio doors opening out to the garden. The second bedroom is currently set up as a twin, but can easily be changed to a second double.
The property is large enough to be a full time residence, but also works very well as a rental, commanding €700 per month in low season and as much as €700 per week in summer months. This makes it ideal for those looking to make a move to Spain, but equally for those looking for a holiday home or investment. Benavista is popular year round thanks to its proximity to the beaches and local Costa del Sol holiday hotspots but also due to being in the heart of the Golf Valley on the New Golden Mile. El Paraiso Golf, Atalaya and La Resina courses are all only moments away. It is very well connected by road and public transport and ideal for anyone who wants their own outdoor private space.
