This key-ready penthouse is situated in Los Arqueros, in the province of Málaga on the Costa del Sol. The property offers 148 m² of built area, including 125 m² of interior space and 38 m² of terraces, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. The home has been recently renovated and is positioned directly on the frontline of the golf course, with views over the lake, fairways and surrounding countryside. The asking price is fixed at €799,500, and the residence is sold furnished, with an underground parking space and private storage room included.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The penthouse stands directly on the edge of a golf course, with open views across a lake and fairways. Marbella lies approximately 11 km away as the crow flies, while the city of Málaga is around 57 km distant. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 6 km away in a straight line. The nearest beach, Playa de San Andrés, is 1.7 km away, and the terrain towards the coast is flat.
The layout serves three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 125 m² of interior floor space, with 38 m² of terraces including a private terrace off the principal bedroom. Practical amenities include fitted wardrobes in each bedroom, an underground parking space and a separate storage room. Air conditioning, central heating and a bioethanol fireplace provide year-round climate comfort.
This is not a new-build project but an existing home, completed in 1970 and recently renovated to a contemporary standard. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be occupied directly after purchase. Delivery dates for existing homes are indicative and depend on the completion of the sales process.
The property has a communal pool rather than a private one. It is an apartment within an existing urbanisation built in 1970, not a modern new development. Only one primary school is registered within 2 km. Buyers seeking a private pool, a large private garden or a newly constructed building should note these limitations.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A couple seeking a main residence on the Costa del Sol with room for visiting family will find the three-bedroom layout and two bathrooms sufficient without excess maintenance burden. Buyers relocating from northern Europe who want a move-in-ready home without renovation projects benefit from the completed refurbishment and the furnished sale. Golf players gain direct access to a course environment without daily travel. Investors or second-home buyers can use the urbanisation's permission for short-term rentals, which is not standard in every community on the coast and materially affects rental flexibility. Households with children of primary school age have one primary school within 2 km, which is workable but limited, so families should verify school capacity themselves. The property fits buyers who value views and outdoor space over private grounds: the 38 m² of terraces substitute for a garden. It fits less well for buyers who want a private pool, a detached villa plot or a brand-new building with modern energy performance certification; the 1970 construction date means the structure predates current building regulations, although the renovation has updated the interior installations. Finally, the proximity of Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport at roughly 6 km straight-line is an advantage for frequent travellers, though buyers sensitive to aircraft noise should visit the property at different times of day to assess this themselves.
The renovation has been carried out to a documented standard, and the finishing details are specified in the property data. Both bathrooms feature seamless Mortex finishes, integrated fixtures and underfloor heating, which is a specification more commonly found in higher-priced renovations. The kitchen is fully integrated into the open-plan living space, with a built-in bioethanol fireplace and an integrated television unit in the living area. The bedrooms have custom-made fitted wardrobes throughout. Electric shutters are installed, allowing programmable control of light and heat gain. Climate systems include air conditioning, central heating and the fireplace, covering both summer and winter conditions; the average monthly temperature in the region ranges from 12°C to 27°C, so both heating and cooling seasons occur. The property includes a lift in the building, an underground parking space and a private storage room, which are practical additions that affect daily use. The sliding glass doors between the living area and the main terrace open fully, which requires a quality installation to function smoothly over time. Buyers should note that the building itself dates from 1970; the renovation applies to the interior and installations of this unit, and the condition of communal elements of the urbanisation is a separate matter that should be verified during a viewing or through the community documentation.
The asking price is fixed at €799,500 for the property as a whole, including furniture, an underground parking space and a storage room. This is an existing home with a completed renovation, not a new-build development with a variable price list, so the price applies to this specific residence. The price reflects the renovation standard, the 148 m² of built area, the 38 m² of terraces and the frontline golf position. For regional context, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast currently start from approximately €205,000 to €321,000, though those are smaller units in different locations without a golf frontline setting. Availability is immediate, given the key-ready status.
Daily life at this penthouse revolves around its frontline golf position and the indoor-outdoor layout typical of Mediterranean living. The open-plan living and dining area connects through sliding glass doors to the main terrace, which extends the usable living space by a substantial margin during the warmer months. The south-west orientation means the terraces receive afternoon and evening sun, suitable for outdoor dining and late-day use, though mornings will be cooler on the terrace. The principal bedroom has its own terrace access, so the views over the lake and fairways are available from the moment the day starts. The three-bedroom configuration allows the two secondary rooms to serve as guest bedrooms, a study or a hobby room. The urbanisation permits short-term rentals, which widens the possible use of the property beyond full-time residence. Within a 2 km radius, the area registers 98 restaurants, 45 cafés, 117 pharmacies and 37 banks, indicating a well-supplied daily infrastructure that does not depend on seasonal tourism alone. Public transport is available through 5 lines and 50 stops, and a train station lies within 0.2 km straight-line, which reduces dependence on a car for certain trips. For buyers who drive, the underground parking space provides secure storage for a vehicle, and the flat gradient of 1.4% towards the beach makes walking and cycling to the coast realistic.
The surrounding area combines a golf setting with dense daily amenities. Within 2 km, the data registers 98 restaurants, 45 cafés, 117 pharmacies, 37 banks and 16 dentists, meaning that daily errands do not require long trips. The nearest train station is 0.2 km away as the crow flies, with two more stations within 0.8 km, and five public transport lines with 50 stops serve the area. This level of public transport access is notable for a golf-front location and reduces car dependence for commuting or city trips. Sports facilities are close by: a boxing club at 0.3 km and a sports hall and football pitch at 0.4 km. The area records around 800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active rather than dormant property market. For electric vehicle owners, charging points are available from 2.5 km away. The urban character of the surroundings means this is not an isolated rural retreat; buyers should expect an established neighbourhood with normal levels of activity. The nearest beach is 1.7 km away on a flat gradient, reachable on foot or by bicycle in a short time. viewpoints such as Mirador de la Alcazaba at 3.1 km offer walking destinations with views over the coast.
The map shows the property's position relative to the golf course, the coastline and the transport network. Marbella lies 11 km to the west and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport roughly 6 km away, while the nearest train station sits within walking distance. The surrounding amenities within 2 km illustrate how daily life here stays compact.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within the Costa del Sol, this location occupies an unusual position: it combines a golf-front residential setting with near-urban infrastructure and one of the region's shortest distances to an international airport. Marbella, at 11 km, provides the nearest larger centre for shopping, dining and services, while Málaga city at 57 km offers the full range of a provincial capital including high-speed rail connections. The property sits closer to the eastern, Málaga-oriented end of the coast than to the Marbella-Estepona belt where most golf developments cluster, which distinguishes it from comparable frontline golf listings further west.
Distances in this section are straight-line; actual road distances can be longer. The nearest beach, Playa de San Andrés, lies 1.7 km away, with Playa de la Misericordia at 2.4 km and Playa Sacaba at 3.6 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 6 km away as the crow flies, one of the shortest airport distances on the entire coast. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 102 km away. Marbella lies 11 km distant and Málaga city 57 km. Golf options include Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 6.7 km, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 7.3 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 9.4 km, in addition to the course at the doorstep. Two marinas, IGY Málaga Marina at 3.0 km and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo at 3.2 km, serve the coastline. Train stations at 0.2 km, 0.7 km and 0.8 km plus five bus lines provide public transport alternatives to the car.

The location sits at 23 m above sea level with a flat gradient of 1.4% towards the coast, so no significant climbs separate the property from the beach. The average annual temperature is 18.8°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in the coldest months to 27°C in summer. The swimming season extends over five months, during which sea water temperature reaches 20°C or above. This climate profile supports year-round occupation rather than purely seasonal use: winters are mild enough for regular terrace use at midday, and summers are warm enough for a five-month swimming window. The golf and lake views bring green surroundings into daily life without requiring maintenance by the owner. The region records 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active local calendar of events and traditions.

Beach access is a defined feature of the location. Playa de San Andrés is 1.7 km away in a straight line on flat terrain, followed by Playa de la Misericordia at 2.4 km and Playa Sacaba at 3.6 km, giving a choice of urban and more open stretches of coast. Golf is the primary recreational asset: the course lies directly outside the property, and three further clubs, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez, sit within 6.7 to 9.4 km. Water sports and boat owners can use IGY Málaga Marina at 3.0 km or Marina Real Club Mediterráneo at 3.2 km. For land-based sport, a boxing club stands 0.3 km away and municipal facilities including a sports hall and football pitch lie 0.4 km distant. viewpoints at 3.1 to 3.4 km, such as Mirador de la Alcazaba and Torre Blanca, provide walking destinations with elevated views.

Compared with current new-build offerings on the Costa del Sol, this penthouse occupies a different segment of the market. Projects such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) offer newly constructed apartments at from-prices well below the €799,500 fixed asking price here. That difference reflects several factors. First, this is a completed, renovated residence sold turnkey, with furniture, an underground parking space and a storage room included, whereas from-prices at new developments typically apply to base units before options, parking and storage are added. Second, the property's 148 m² of built area and 38 m² of terraces place it above the size of most entry-level new-build units. Third, the frontline golf position with lake views is a location attribute that carries a price premium along the whole coast. The regional positioning also differs: the three comparison projects sit in Mijas, Torre del Mar and Estepona, all at some distance from an airport. This penthouse lies roughly 6 km straight-line from Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport, which is unusually close for a golf-front property and relevant for buyers who travel frequently. Against that stands the 1970 construction date of the building; buyers comparing with new builds should weigh the renovated interior against the age of the communal structure and the absence of a modern new-build warranty framework. The regional market context shows around 800 housing transactions per year in the local area, indicating sufficient liquidity for a later resale. Buyers prioritising a brand-new building and a lower entry price will find the comparison projects more aligned; buyers prioritising space, views, immediate availability and rental permission may find the price difference justified.
