A property that offers something particularly valuable: the freedom to choose how you want to use it. This beautifully positioned corner duplex penthouse is located in the peaceful and well-maintained residential community of Cortijo del Mar, El Paraíso, offering privacy, generous outdoor space and, most importantly, a valid tourist licence already in place. For a buyer looking for an investment, this is a major advantage. The property has already been used successfully as a holiday rental, with a strong Airbnb rating and summer occupancy of approximately 98%. The new owner can therefore continue with short-term rentals, creating an attractive income opportunity, while still having the complete freedom to use the property as a private home or second residence whenever desired. The tourist licence is already in place — something that can be difficult and uncertain to obtain later. This gives the property an important added value compared with similar homes without the necessary licence. The penthouse occupies a desirable corner position, giving it greater privacy and pleasant views over the communal gardens. Spread over two floors, it offers approximately 133.72 m² built, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an impressive 59.07 m² of private terraces. The outdoor space is one of the property's strongest features. The terraces enjoy sunshine from around midday well into the afternoon, creating the perfect setting for long lunches outdoors, morning-to-afternoon relaxation, evening drinks or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the property offers a spacious living and dining area, a separate fully fitted kitchen, three comfortable bedrooms and three bathrooms. The duplex layout provides a natural separation between living and sleeping areas, while the corner position adds an extra sense of openness and privacy. The property also includes a private parking space and storage room, while the beautifully maintained communal gardens surrounding the building add to the tranquil residential atmosphere. A location designed for both living and renting Cortijo del Mar offers the best of both worlds: a quiet residential environment while remaining conveniently connected to everything needed for an enjoyable Costa del Sol lifestyle. Nearby you will find beautiful beaches, prestigious golf courses, restaurants, supermarkets, schools and international schools, children's play areas, public transport and everyday amenities. Marbella, Puerto Banús and Estepona are all within a short drive, making the property equally appealing to holidaymakers and permanent residents. Whether you are looking for a ready-to-use investment with an established rental history, a holiday home that can generate income when you are not using it, or simply a spacious private residence in a peaceful location, this property offers exceptional flexibility. The combination of a corner position, 59 m² of private terraces, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, private parking and storage — together with an existing tourist licence and proven holiday-rental performance — makes this a particularly compelling opportunity. A home you can enjoy. An investment that can work for you. And a tourist licence already in place. Viewing is highly recommended.
