This four-bedroom townhouse stands in Benamara, a coastal district between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara on the Costa del Sol. Built in 1982 and available with a fixed asking price of €582,000, the home offers 150 m² of living space across two bathrooms and four bedrooms, with a south to west orientation. The nearest beach, Salduna, lies roughly 426 metres away as the crow flies. The property forms part of a community with maintained gardens and a communal pool, and it holds an active tourist licence, which is relevant for buyers considering rental use alongside residential occupancy.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Benamara sits directly on the coast in an urbanised environment with amenities within walking distance. A supermarket lies 675 metres away, a pharmacy 709 metres, and Salduna beach 426 metres, all measured in a straight line. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 52 km away, while Gibraltar Airport is approximately 45 km distant. The area is flat, at nine metres elevation, with a gradient of about 2.2% toward the shore.
The house provides four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 150 m² of living area, suited to family use or shared occupancy. A living room with fireplace connects to a covered terrace and private garden, and the kitchen is fully fitted. Air conditioning covers both hot and cold functions. A storage room adds practical capacity. Outdoor space is limited to a 20 m² private plot plus terrace areas, which frames expectations around garden use.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 1982 and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The delivery date of 1982 is indicative of the original construction year. Buyers should factor the age of the building into maintenance planning, as systems and finishes from this period typically warrant inspection before completion of a purchase.
The property does not offer a private pool; swimming facilities are communal. The private plot measures 20 m², so garden space is modest. No garage or private parking is listed in the available data. The building dates from 1982, so it lacks the specification and energy performance typical of contemporary new-build developments on the Costa del Sol. No lift is mentioned, and townhouse layouts generally include internal stairs.

This property fits several recognisable buyer situations. A family seeking a coastal base with four bedrooms will find the layout and the nearby international school, roughly 800 metres away, aligned with that need. Buyers wanting a walkable location, supermarket, pharmacy, cafés and the beach within a kilometre, will find the setting practical, since many daily errands require no car. Owners of electric vehicles can charge within about 891 metres at the nearest charging point. The active tourist licence makes the house relevant to buyers combining personal use with holiday letting, subject to verification of community rules and current municipal regulations for Benamara. The communal pool and maintained gardens suit owners who prefer shared facilities over private pool maintenance, particularly given the 20 m² plot size. Golf players benefit from El Campanario at 1.3 km and El Paraíso at 1.7 km, both reachable within minutes. The property is less suited to buyers who want a private pool, a large garden or a garage, since none of these feature in the data. Those prioritising contemporary build standards and energy performance may find the 1982 construction date a consideration, and an independent technical survey is a reasonable step in that case. Buyers intending full-time rental use should also note that the swimming season, defined by water temperatures of 20°C or above, spans about four months per year.
The interior specification, as recorded, includes a fully fitted kitchen and a living room with a fireplace and direct access to the terrace. Bedrooms are fitted with wardrobes, including mirrored units visible in the listing photography. Climate control consists of air conditioning units providing both hot and cold air, supplemented by the fireplace. The covered terrace and private terrace extend the usable living space outward, which is a functional advantage in a climate with an average annual temperature of 18.1°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 28°C in summer. The storage room adds space for seasonal equipment such as beach gear or garden furniture. As a 1982 construction, the building predates contemporary insulation and efficiency standards, and the finishing level should be assessed on viewing rather than assumed to match new-build specification. Structural condition, electrical installation, plumbing and window quality are all points where a forty-plus-year-old property commonly shows variation depending on renovation history; the available data does not state the date of any refurbishment. The community areas appear well kept, with the pool set among pine trees according to the listing images, which indicates ongoing maintenance of shared facilities. Buyers are advised to commission an independent technical inspection, standard practice for properties of this age in Spain, to establish the actual condition of the roof, façade and installations. The overall picture is one of a habitable, equipped home where quality assessment depends on inspection rather than developer guarantees, which would accompany an off-plan purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €582,000. This is an existing home, not a new-build development with a price list, so no from-price applies. The house offers 150 m² of living area with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, built in 1982 and delivered key-ready. Buyers comparing with new-build alternatives in the wider region will find entry prices from roughly €205,000 in Mijas and €269,000 in Estepona, though those figures concern apartments in off-plan projects rather than a completed townhouse with a garden and a tourist licence near the beach. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process. Ongoing costs such as community fees, IBI and waste collection are not specified in the available data and should be requested separately.
Daily life in this Benamara townhouse is shaped by its position between the coast road and the beach. The walk to Salduna beach covers roughly 426 metres in a straight line across flat terrain, and Playa Isdabe lies slightly beyond at about 531 metres. A supermarket sits within 675 metres and a pharmacy within 709 metres, so basic shopping and pharmacy runs are feasible on foot. The living room opens onto a covered terrace and a private garden, with a south to west orientation that brings afternoon and evening sun to the outdoor spaces. A fireplace supplements the hot and cold air conditioning during cooler months. The community maintains shared gardens and a communal pool, which reduces the gardening burden on owners while still providing private outdoor space on the 20 m² plot. Twenty restaurants and five cafés within two kilometres give the neighbourhood a year-round service base rather than a purely seasonal one. The International School of Estepona lies approximately 800 metres away, a relevant factor for families. Golf is a recurring feature of the surroundings: El Campanario Golf Course sits about 1.3 km away and El Paraíso Golf Club about 1.7 km. For racquet sports, RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club is roughly 800 metres distant. Puerto Banús marina is about 6.8 km away by straight-line measure, and Estepona town is described in the source material as around a ten-minute drive. The house holds an active tourist licence, which means the current use pattern may already include short-term letting, a point worth verifying with the community rules and the local ordinance before purchase.
Benamara functions as a residential coastal neighbourhood rather than a resort enclave. The immediate environment combines beach proximity with an urban service layer: within two kilometres there are twenty restaurants, five cafés, four pharmacies, two banks, one school and one park. This density of everyday amenities means the area does not shut down outside the summer months, a question international buyers commonly raise. The flat terrain, nine metres above sea level with a 2.2% gradient toward the beach, makes walking and cycling realistic options for most local trips. Salduna beach at 426 metres is the nearest swimming option, with Playa Isdabe and Playa Atalaya within a kilometre. Sports facilities cluster nearby: RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 0.8 km and Club de Tenis at 2.0 km. Public transport covers the area with six lines and fifty stops recorded, which is substantial for a settlement of this size and provides an alternative to driving along the A-7 coast road. For healthcare, the nearest hospital lies 5.2 km away. Marinas, shopping and nightlife centred on Puerto Banús sit about 6.8 km to the east, close enough for an evening out without living amid its traffic and noise. The combination of golf courses within two kilometres and forest areas noted in the setting description gives the surroundings a green character unusual for such a beachfront position.
The map shows the property's position in Benamara, roughly midway between Estepona and Puerto Banús. Note the cluster of beaches within one kilometre to the south, golf courses within two kilometres inland, and the flat coastal terrain throughout. Distances shown are straight-line measurements.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Benamara occupies the coastal strip between Estepona, about ten minutes west by car, and the San Pedro, Marbella conurbation to the east, with Puerto Banús 6.8 km away. This position places the property in the transition zone between the established resort towns and the quieter residential stretches of the western Costa del Sol. The neighbourhood sits at sea level with direct beach access, yet retains green surroundings described as part-wooded, which distinguishes it from the denser apartment districts nearer Marbella centre. Accessibility to two airports, Gibraltar at 45 km and Málaga at 52 km, both straight-line, supports international use.
Accessibility is defined by the coast road corridor. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 52 km away in a straight line, and Gibraltar Airport about 45 km in the opposite direction, giving a choice of arrival points. By car, Estepona and Puerto Banús are each described as around a ten-minute drive in the source material. The beaches of Salduna, Isdabe and Atalaya are all within one kilometre. Golf courses at 1.3 and 1.7 km are among the closest access distances on this stretch of coast. An EV charging point sits 891 metres away, with Tesla Superchargers at Estepona (3.6 km) and Marbella (9.9 km). Public transport, six lines and fifty stops, supports car-free living for local trips, though regional journeys generally require a vehicle or taxi. The hospital at 5.2 km is a short drive for routine care.

The climate data points to a typical western Costa del Sol pattern: monthly average temperatures between 12°C and 28°C, an annual mean of 18.1°C, and a swimming season of roughly four months during which sea temperature reaches 20°C or higher. At nine metres elevation the terrain is flat, with a 2.2% gradient to the shore, so no climbs stand between the house and the beach. The south to west orientation of the terraces aligns with afternoon and evening sun, extending the usable hours of the outdoor spaces through spring and autumn. The setting notes proximity to forest, which tempers the built-up character of the coastal strip and adds walking options beyond the promenade. Winters remain mild enough for year-round occupation, with the fireplace and hot air conditioning covering the cooler evenings of December and January.

Three beaches lie within a kilometre: Salduna (426 m), Playa Isdabe (531 m) and Playa Atalaya (954 m), all reachable on foot along flat ground. Golf dominates the recreational offer, with El Campanario Golf Course at 1.3 km and El Paraíso Golf Club at 1.7 km, plus the El Paraíso clubhouse at 1.9 km, an unusually tight cluster of courses for one neighbourhood. Racquet sports are covered by RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club (0.8 km) and Club de Tenis (2.0 km), with additional facilities including a pool at 2.1 km. Puerto Deportivo José Banús, at 6.8 km, provides marina services, dining and boat-related leisure. The community's own pool offers daily swimming without leaving the grounds. The four-month warm-water season frames the beach calendar: roughly June through September for comfortable sea swimming, with the remaining months better suited to coastal walks and golf.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this Benamara townhouse occupies a different segment from the new-build projects commonly advertised along the coast. Comparable off-plan developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) offer modern construction and developer guarantees, but their entry prices concern apartments rather than four-bedroom townhouses, and most sit at a greater remove from the beach than Benamara's 426-metre straight-line distance to Salduna. The €582,000 asking price therefore buys something the newer projects at similar budgets often cannot: completed, immediately habitable accommodation with four bedrooms, a private garden and terrace, a communal pool, and an active tourist licence. Locationally, Benarara sits between Estepona and Puerto Banús, closer to the golf corridor of El Campanario and El Paraíso than most new-build alternatives, and it benefits from a mature amenity base, twenty restaurants, four pharmacies, a supermarket at 675 metres, that off-plan areas typically lack until later phases complete. The trade-off is age: a 1982 building will not match the insulation, glazing or energy performance of a 2020s development, and renovation costs should be weighed against the price difference. Buyers comparing regions should also note the dual-airport access, Gibraltar at 45 km and Málaga at 52 km, which the eastern Costa del Sol comparables do not offer. For buyers prioritising walkability, beach proximity and rental flexibility over contemporary specification, the Benamara position holds up well against the regional field; for those seeking new-build standards and warranty cover, the eastern alternatives merit comparison despite their longer beach distances.
