This key-ready townhouse is situated in the La Perla de La Heredia community in Benahavís, a mountain municipality between Marbella, Estepona and Ronda, roughly seven kilometres from the coast. The property offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 104 m² of living space, built in 2000 and since renovated. The asking price is fixed at €429,000. The home features a south-facing private terrace, an open-plan living area with fireplace, and access to two communal swimming pools. A car is necessary for daily travel; Málaga airport lies 48 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands inland within Benahavís, a quiet, rural setting at about 204 metres above sea level. The nearest beaches, Playa del Saladillo and Playa Isdabe, lie 6.6 and 6.7 km away in a straight line. Marbella is 14 km distant as the crow flies. Several golf courses sit within a short radius, including La Zagaleta at 2.2 km. Daily errands require a car.
The layout serves a small household: an open-plan living and dining area with a fitted kitchen and pantry on the ground floor, and two bedrooms upstairs, each with an en-suite bathroom. One bedroom includes a small walk-in closet. A south-facing private terrace extends the living space outdoors, and communal pools with panoramic views form part of the community facilities.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 2000 and has since been renovated; the construction status is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The property is offered part-furnished, with a fully fitted kitchen including a dishwasher, washing machine, oven, fridge and electric water heater. Purchase costs and taxes apply in addition to the asking price.
The property offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms across 104 m², which limits capacity for larger households. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. No private garden or garage is listed in the available data. Public transport is minimal, with a single line and one stop, so residents depend on a car. The beach lies roughly 6.6 km away as the crow flies, not within walking distance.

This property fits a recognisable set of situations. It suits a couple or single buyer seeking a low-maintenance home in a quiet inland setting, with the coast and Marbella within driving distance rather than on the doorstep. It also works as a weekend or holiday retreat: the key-ready condition means no renovation period, and the communal pools cover seasonal use without the upkeep of a private pool. Buyers with golf as a regular activity will find several courses within a few kilometres, including La Zagaleta at 2.2 km, La Quinta Golf at 3.9 km and Tramores Golf at 4.3 km, all measured in a straight line. The property is less suited to other situations. Households needing three or more bedrooms will find the two-bedroom layout restrictive. Buyers who want to walk to the beach should note the 6.6 km direct distance to the nearest sand. Anyone relying on public transport will find the single local line insufficient for daily use, so a car is effectively a requirement. For owners planning longer stays, the presence of a pharmacy at 707 m, a supermarket at 3.7 km and a hospital at 6.5 km makes year-round residence workable, and one primary school in the vicinity covers early education, though families with older children would need to look further afield, with The International School of Estepona 6.0 km away. In short, the property matches buyers who value tranquillity, views and golf proximity over coastal walkability and space, and who want a finished home at a mid-range Benahavís price point rather than a new-build premium.
The house was built in 2000 and has been renovated since, which is reflected in the current finish. The ground floor combines a living and dining area with an American-style kitchen; bamboo flooring runs through this space and a fireplace provides supplementary heat. The kitchen comes fully equipped, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, fridge and an electric water heater, and a pantry on the same floor adds storage. Upstairs, both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms finished in Moroccan tadelakt, a hand-applied plaster technique that gives the surfaces a smooth, matte character. One bedroom includes a small walk-in closet. In technical terms, the property has independent central air conditioning on each floor, allowing separate temperature control per level, and double glazing throughout, which improves both acoustic insulation and energy efficiency. Orientation is south, so the private terrace and main living spaces receive midday and afternoon sun. The heating mix, central heating, the fireplace and the air conditioning, covers the full range of the local climate, where average monthly temperatures run between 12°C and 26°C. Furniture is included only in part, so buyers should budget for additional furnishing. As with any property of this age, the 2000 construction date means the underlying structure and installations predate current building regulations; the renovation appears to have addressed the interior, but a technical survey before purchase remains standard practice for a resale home. Community facilities include the two swimming pools, one heated, which are maintained through the community fees, the amount of which is not specified in the available data.
The asking price is fixed at €429,000 for the property as a whole; this is an existing home, not a price-list development, so no unit variation applies. In addition to the purchase price, the buyer bears transfer tax (ITP) at a general maximum rate of 7%, notary fees estimated between €500 and €2,000, land registry fees between €250 and €1,500, and optional gestoría services between €300 and €500. The total estimated cost for the buyer is approximately €471,900, an indicative figure that depends on the specific circumstances of the transaction. Compared with nearby new-build projects, Fuente Lirios in Benahavís from €395,000, Altura 160 from €499,000 and Acqua Gardens in Estepona from €524,600, the price sits in the middle band for the area.
La Perla de La Heredia sits on the inland side of Benahavís, in a quiet, rural environment where the rhythm of the day is set by the mountains rather than the coast. The community itself is oriented around its shared facilities: two swimming pools with views over the golf course, the surrounding mountains and the sea in the distance, one of them heated for use outside the summer months. For a townhouse of this size, the setting works best for a couple, a small family or an owner using it as a second residence. Daily life follows a simple pattern. Mornings can start on the south-facing terrace, which receives sun through the middle of the day. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a pantry, so routine shopping and cooking are straightforward, with a supermarket 3.7 km away by direct distance. The village centre of Benahavís, known for its concentration of restaurants, lies close enough for evening visits without a long drive. Within two kilometres of the property the data lists fourteen restaurants, four cafés, a pharmacy, a bank branch and a primary school, which covers most everyday needs at village scale. Practical errands beyond that, larger shops, hospital care at 6.5 km, secondary schooling, require the car. Because the area is inland and elevated, temperatures run slightly cooler than on the coast in summer, and the landscape stays green for longer in spring. The two-bedroom layout means the house is not designed for extended families or frequent guests in large numbers, but for a household of one or two people it offers a compact, manageable base with the outdoors, viewpoints, golf courses and mountain walks, within easy reach.
Benahavís is a mountain village of about 9,500 inhabitants (2025), positioned between Marbella, Estepona and Ronda and roughly seven kilometres from the coast. Life here is quieter and more village-like than in the coastal resort towns. The municipality covers 145 km² and sits at 204 metres elevation, giving the area its green, hilly character. Within two kilometres of the property, the data counts fourteen restaurants, four cafés, a pharmacy, three banks and one primary school, enough for daily needs at village scale. Sport is well represented: the Pabellón Municipal de Deportes lies 700 m away, the municipal gym at 800 m and municipal pools at 900 m, all measured in a straight line. For recreation closer to nature, two viewpoints, Mirador del Tajo del Novio at 600 m and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 1.2 km, offer walking options without a long drive. Further afield, Puerto Deportivo José Banús, the marina at Puerto Banús, is 8.7 km away by direct distance for shopping, dining and people-watching. Marbella, with almost 148,000 inhabitants, lies 14 km straight-line and provides the full range of urban services, hospitals and international retail. Mobility is the key practical consideration: a car is necessary for daily travel, public transport consists of a single line with one stop, and the beach sits about 6.6 km away as the crow flies, meaning road distances are longer.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Benahavís occupies a distinct position on the western Costa del Sol: inland enough to be quiet and elevated, yet close enough to Marbella (14 km straight-line), Estepona and the coast for full access to coastal amenities. The municipality is known regionally for its golf estates, La Zagaleta among the most exclusive private developments in Spain, and its reputation as a dining village. Compared with Málaga city (60 km) or Algeciras (56 km), the area serves a residential and leisure market rather than an urban one. Within this frame, the property offers an entry point into Benahavís at a price below the large villa estates that dominate the municipality's upper market, while remaining inside the same natural and golf-oriented setting.
Accessibility around this property is defined by the car. The nearest beaches, Playa del Saladillo and Playa Isdabe, lie 6.6 and 6.7 km away as the crow flies, a short drive rather than a walk. The supermarket at 3.7 km and the hospital at 6.5 km (both straight-line) are reachable within ten to fifteen minutes of driving in normal conditions. A pharmacy is considerably closer at 707 m, and an electric vehicle charging point stands just 277 m from the property, with a Tesla Supercharger in Estepona 7.4 km away. Golf access is a defining feature of the location: La Zagaleta's course lies 2.2 km away, La Quinta Golf 3.9 km and Tramores Golf 4.3 km, with El Higueral Golf and Marbella Club Golf Resort also in the immediate radius. Regional access runs through two airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol is roughly 51 km straight-line from the area, and Gibraltar approximately 50 km; the project data lists 48 km to the airport by direct distance. Marbella at 14 km, Estepona and Ronda frame the wider catchment. Public transport is effectively absent as a daily option, one line, one stop, so a second car may be worth considering for households where both partners travel independently.

The location sits inland at 204 metres above sea level, which shapes both its landscape and its climate. Average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.1°C, a Mediterranean profile slightly moderated by elevation compared with the immediate shoreline. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or more, lasts about four months, though the heated communal pool extends swimming beyond that window for residents. Being inland and surrounded by hills, the area retains vegetation longer into the dry season and offers walking terrain close at hand: two viewpoints within 1.2 km of the property and the Puerto Velate pass at 2.5 km give direct access to the mountain environment. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, in line with the regional pattern. For residents, this translates into cooler summer evenings than on the coast, occasional winter mornings where the fireplace and central heating are genuinely useful, and a setting where the natural surroundings form part of daily life rather than a weekend excursion.

The nearest beaches lie just under seven kilometres away in a straight line: Playa del Saladillo at 6.6 km and Playa Isdabe at 6.7 km, both on the stretch of coast between Estepona and San Pedro. These are typical Costa del Sol beaches, reachable by car in a matter of minutes, though road distances exceed the straight-line figures. For a different kind of coastal outing, the marina at Puerto Banús is 8.7 km away by direct distance, offering moinas, dining and retail. Recreation inland is dominated by golf: La Zagaleta Country Club's course at 2.2 km, La Quinta Golf at 3.9 km, Tramores Golf at 4.3 km, El Higueral Golf at 2.7 km and Marbella Club Golf Resort at 2.9 km place the property in one of the densest golf clusters on the coast. Beyond golf, the municipality counts twenty-five sports facilities, including the municipal sports hall, gym and pools all within one kilometre of the property. Hiking and viewpoint walks, Mirador del Tajo del Novio, Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos, Puerto Velate, complete the recreational picture for residents who prefer the mountains to the sand.

Within Benahavís, this townhouse at €429,000 occupies the middle ground of the local market. The comparable new-build project Fuente Lirios in the same municipality starts at €395,000, positioning it slightly below this asking price, while Altura 160 starts at €499,000, roughly €70,000 more. In neighbouring Estepona, Acqua Gardens begins at €524,600, reflecting the general price step between coastal new-build and inland resale stock in the western Costa del Sol. The relevant trade-off for buyers is between finish and condition on one side and setting on the other. New-build competitors offer current regulations, developer warranties and unbuilt-from-scratch specifications, but typically on larger estates further from the village centre or in higher-density schemes. This resale property offers a completed, renovated home in the established La Perla de La Heredia community, with two en-suite bathrooms, a fireplace, per-floor climate control and a heated communal pool, features that new-build projects in this price band do not always include as standard. Location-wise, Benahavís differs from Estepona and Marbella in character: it is a village municipality of about 9,500 inhabitants with a rural, elevated setting, roughly 800 housing transactions per year and an economy built around golf tourism and dining rather than mass coastal tourism. Property in the municipality spans a wide range, from apartments and townhouses in the village orbit to some of the most expensive villa estates in Spain within La Zagaleta. This townhouse sits in the accessible segment of that spectrum. Buyers comparing it with coastal alternatives should weigh the 6.6 km straight-line distance to the beach and the necessity of a car against the quieter environment, the concentration of golf courses within a few kilometres and a price per square metre, roughly €4,125 over 104 m² of living area, that undercuts most new-build offerings nearby.
