A three-bedroom apartment in a gated resort of 56 homes in Las Mesas, Estepona. This is the largest of the apartments in the scheme, and the extra floor area has gone into the living space rather than into a fourth bedroom — so the kitchen, dining and sitting areas run together with room to use all three at once, which is what a three-bedroom apartment usually sacrifices. Two bathrooms, and a terrace off the living room with a pergola for shade. The specification comes complete on handover: a fitted kitchen with Bosch appliances, ducted air conditioning, motorised blinds and an individual aerothermal system for hot water, which costs noticeably less to run than the electric alternatives still standard at this level. Parking and a storeroom are included. The resort is built across three low buildings with a swimming pool, a wellness area with gym, landscaped gardens and a poolside bar, all behind a gated entrance — the gym and wellness area in particular are a genuine facility here rather than a token room. Las Mesas is a kilometre from the beach, minutes from Estepona's old town and marina, close to the golf clubs, and backs onto Las Mesas Park with its trails.
