The penthouse in a boutique development of 22 homes in Las Mesas, Estepona. 112 m² inside, three bedrooms and two bathrooms with the master en-suite, and an open plan where kitchen, dining and living run into one another and out to the terrace. What you are actually buying is the 83 m² of private solarium on top. That is more outdoor space than the apartment has rooms, laid out on its own level with sea views and nothing above it — room for a dining table, loungers and shade without any of them competing, and the option to add a private pool. In practice the solarium becomes the main living space from May onwards and the interior turns into the cool part of the house. The specification is complete on handover: fitted and equipped kitchen with integrated appliances, motorised shutters, an underground parking space and a private storeroom, lift access to every floor. The building also has a communal rooftop pool and solarium, so guests do not have to use yours. Las Mesas sits 1.3 km from Estepona beach, 1.5 km from the marina and 2 km from the old town, with Estepona Golf at 6 km. Marbella and Puerto Banús are around half an hour along the coast, Gibraltar airport 45 km and Málaga 82 km.
