This is a fully renovated two-bedroom townhouse of 135 m² built on a 135 m² plot in Atalaya, between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara on the western Costa del Sol. The property dates from 1982 and has undergone a complete integral renovation, including new electrical wiring, new plumbing and double-glazed PVC windows. It is configured over two floors with an east orientation, two bathrooms, a private garden and access to a communal swimming pool. The location sits within an established residential urbanisation close to beaches, golf courses and international schools, roughly 20 minutes by road from Marbella and Estepona town centres.
Within the western Costa del Sol, this property occupies a different market segment from nearby new-build alternatives. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts at €269,950 and Lantana Residencial in Mijas at €205,000, but both sit further from the coast and represent new construction rather than renovated resale. Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona, from €269,000, offers new-build units in the same municipality at a lower entry price, which makes the €389,000 asking price here dependent on factors new-build cannot replicate at that level: a private plot, a two-storey townhouse format and walking distance to beaches under one kilometre. Atalaya itself sits in the established El Paraíso, Guadalmina corridor, an area characterised by mature urbanisations, golf courses and a resident international community rather than large-scale new development. This limits new-build competition directly nearby and supports the resale market. Regionally, transaction volume in the district stands at 3,163 recorded sales, indicating an active market with liquidity for resale properties. Buyers comparing this property with new-build options should weigh the 1982 construction date and absence of a builder's warranty against the completed renovation, the plot size and the location within an established coastal community where equivalent new-build townhouses typically price well above €400,000.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Atalaya is an established residential area on the coastal side of the A-7, between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara. Playa Isdabe lies approximately 0.5 km away and Playa Atalaya 0.6 km, both reachable on foot. El Campanario Golf Course is 1.4 km away and El Paraíso Golf Club 2.1 km. The area combines residential urbanisations with nearby commercial facilities along the Benavista strip.
The property functions as a turn-key home for two occupants or a small family, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms across two floors. The ground floor offers an open-plan living space with a designer kitchen, guest toilet and separate laundry room. The master bedroom includes a private terrace and space for a dressing area. Outdoor use centres on the private garden and the communal pool.
This is not a new-build development. The townhouse was originally completed in 1982 (indicative) and has since undergone a full integral renovation covering electrics, plumbing, windows and finishes. The renovation has been carried out to a modern specification and the property is documented as ready to move into, subject to verification at viewing.
The property offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms within 135 m² built (115 m² useful), which limits capacity for larger households. Parking is not listed as a private garage. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal. The building dates from 1982, so structural and community documentation merit review. Furnished images in marketing material are AI-generated, not photographs of the actual interior.
This property fits several recognisable situations. It suits a couple or small household seeking a renovated, low-maintenance home within walking distance of the beach, without taking on a renovation project. It also matches buyers prioritising golf: two courses within two kilometres allow regular play without significant travel. Buyers intending to relocate permanently will find the proximity of The International School of Estepona (1.5 km) and 19 primary schools within the wider area relevant for family planning. As a second home, the lock-up-and-leave format of a two-bedroom townhouse with communal pool reduces upkeep obligations compared with a detached villa. The property is less suited to households requiring three or more bedrooms, a private pool or a private garage, and buyers seeking new-build warranties should note the 1982 construction date, mitigated but not replaced by the renovation. Buyers reliant on public transport should verify line frequency, as car ownership is the practical norm here.
The renovation is documented as integral, covering the core systems of the house. Electrical installation and plumbing have been renewed throughout, which addresses the two most common cost items in properties of this age. Windows are Climalit double-glazed PVC units, providing improved thermal and acoustic insulation compared with the original 1982 single glazing. The kitchen is a designer installation with integrated extractor, fridge and dishwasher, arranged within the open-plan ground floor. Internal finishes shown in the photographic material include light flooring and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. The bathrooms have been refitted, with a shower installation on the upper floor. Vaulted ceilings on the first floor are a structural feature retained from the original build. Prospective buyers should note that images including furniture are AI-generated visualisations; actual finishes should be verified during a viewing. As the building dates from 1982, an independent technical inspection remains advisable to confirm the condition of elements outside the renovation scope, such as the roof structure, facade and community infrastructure. No energy performance certificate rating is listed in the available data.
The asking price is €389,000 for a completed, renovated townhouse of 135 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. This equates to roughly €2,880 per built square metre. Within the local resale market, this positions the property above inland new-build alternatives such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), while remaining below typical new-build townhouse pricing directly on the coast. The price reflects renovation status, coastal proximity and plot inclusion. Availability is immediate, as the property is completed and documented as move-in ready.
Daily life in this townhouse follows a coastal residential rhythm. The east orientation means the main terrace and garden receive morning sun, suitable for breakfast outdoors and early activity, with shade from early afternoon onwards. The ground floor works as a single living space: kitchen, dining and sitting area combined, with a guest toilet and a separate laundry room adding practical separation. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are served by a bathroom with shower, and the vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom increase the sense of volume and allow space for a dressing area. The immediate surroundings are formed by the established urbanisation, with mountain and urban views from the upper level rather than direct sea views. On foot, the beaches of Isdabe and Atalaya are within roughly ten minutes, and the Benavista commercial area provides supermarkets, cafés and services a short drive or walk away. El Campanario and El Paraíso golf courses sit within two kilometres, making the location practical for regular golfers. The area has 201 restaurants and 49 cafés within a two-kilometre radius, reflecting the density of facilities between Estepona and San Pedro. A car remains the standard means of transport for most journeys, although seven public transport lines and 50 stops serve the wider area.
The surrounding area functions as a residential corridor between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara, with a high density of daily amenities: 28 pharmacies, 23 banks, 201 restaurants and 49 cafés within a two-kilometre radius. The nearest supermarket is approximately 11 km by the distance data provided for the wider district, though local shopping at Benavista is considerably closer on foot. Healthcare access includes two health centres in the area, with the nearest hospital at 24 km. Education options include The International School of Estepona at 1.5 km and a broad spread of state schools. The population of the immediate locality is small (258 registered inhabitants), but the urbanised zone is contiguous with neighbouring communities, so the area does not feel isolated. Tourism infrastructure is substantial, with 24 hotels and nearly 6,900 beds in the district, meaning summer months bring increased traffic and demand on beach facilities. Puerto José Banús marina is 5.9 km away for mooring, dining and nightlife.
The map shows the property's position in Atalaya, west of San Pedro de Alcántara, with beaches under one kilometre to the south, golf courses to the north and east, and the A-7/AP-7 corridor connecting Estepona and Marbella within a short drive. Note that distance figures in the data combine straight-line and road-based measurements.

The location records 3,822 sunshine hours per year historically, above the Spanish coastal average, supporting extended outdoor use of the garden and terrace from spring through autumn. The mean annual temperature is 16.5°C, and the documented swimming season, based on sea temperatures of 20°C or above, spans approximately four months, concentrated in summer; the communal pool follows a similar seasonal pattern. The property sits at moderate elevation for the coastal zone, with the surrounding terrain rising inland towards the Sierra Bermeja foothills, which account for the mountain views. The east orientation provides morning sun to the main outdoor spaces. The climate supports year-round residence, with mild winters and hot, dry summers typical of the western Costa del Sol.
