This apartment at Costa Natura is a ground floor apartment looking out over the beautiful green lawns, flowering red aloe gardens and palm trees on the edge of the Mediterranean. Costa Natura is an architect-designed iconic urban community built in the picturesque style of an Andalucian "white village". One of Estepona's quietest, fully-maintained sandy beaches is just 50 metres down a flight of private shrub-lined steps across the private open lawn.

The beach is one of Spain's leading official naturist beaches and has its own all-day chiringuito (beach bar) an outsize swimming pool and a terrace restaurant. It also has the prestigious five-star Gran Hotel Elba next door, with its Thalasso Spa, and an international restaurant where you can celebrate that ‘special occasion’ without having to drive to Marbella!!

Costa Natura is located West of Estepona, in the province of Malaga on the road (N340) to Algeciras. It was opened in 1979 and was the first naturist holiday facility on the Costa Del Sol where it is famous as one of the world’s leading ‘paradise’ naturist resorts.

Estepona benefits year round from a micro climate, mild winters, pleasant spring and autumn temperatures and hot summers, though cooling sea breezes moderate the high temperatures in July and August. There are many local attractions for the visitor, from sailing, sea fishing, golfing, horse riding, mountain biking and walks.

The apartment was designed to sleep 4 but we have removed the sofa beds from the lounge and now use it as a 1 bedroomed open-plan apartment. The layout of the apartment has been architect-planned to provide a very relaxed setting for holidays and is also suitable for full-time retirement or a long stay "working from home" lifestyle in a quiet urbanization that has been described as both perfect and peaceful.

An airy ground floor apartment with wall-to-wall, room-high glass sliding doors, this apartment is a spacious, secure, open-plan living area, with a large open terrace looking out onto the beautiful gardens, with Mediterranean views across Estepona Bay and Gibraltar. There is a separate double-bedded master bedroom, with ample living-room space for sofabeds if you wish to have family or guests to stay, and is perfect for entertaining.

Costa Natura is a gated, crime-free, traffic-free environment. Its facilities include a restaurant-café with regular evening piano-bar-style entertainment, an outsize swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, extensive sunbathing areas, sports facilities ranging from petanque and mini-tennis to volley-ball and archery. Owners have secure car-port parking. There is a large super market in Estepona and a new supermarket within walking distance of Costa.

For anyone looking to buy somewhere which has letting-income potential when they are not using the apartment, Costa Natura has its own internationally-promoted, professionally-managed 'rental pool'. We also rent out privately to eight regular couples who return year after year.

Apartment 167 is offered for sale furnished and also has the added bonus of a separate store room where you can leave a large amount of personal things if you wish to continue with the holiday rental. For Sale €140,000
