This three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse forms part of a small enclave of twelve homes in the established El Paraiso urbanisation between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcantaria, on the Costa del Sol. Completed in 1986 and offered key-ready at a fixed asking price of €550,000, the property has 114 m² of living space with a west-facing orientation towards the golf course and mountains. Communal gardens and a swimming pool are shared among the twelve houses. The beach at Playa Isdabe lies 1.3 km away as the crow flies, and El Paraiso Golf Club is within walking distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in El Paraiso, an established residential urbanisation on the western Costa del Sol between Estepona and Marbella. It sits frontline to the golf course, with the clubhouse roughly a kilometre away on foot. A supermarket is 453 m from the door, a pharmacy 1.1 km, and the nearest beach 1.3 km in a direct line. Marbella lies 14 km away; Malaga airport is approximately 52 km by air.
The layout serves practical year-round living: three bedrooms and two bathrooms across two levels, a lounge with wood burner and dining area open to the fitted kitchen, and a ground-floor bedroom with walk-in shower room. Outside space includes a front patio, a west-facing lounge terrace with retractable glass roof, a full-width upper terrace and a basement storeroom. Air conditioning provides hot and cold climate control.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 1986 and is available immediately, key-ready. External painting of the twelve-house urbanisation is reported as imminent. Buyers should budget for the normal maintenance considerations of a property of this age, and a technical survey is a standard step in the purchase process. No delivery date applies; completion follows the notarial transfer.
Short-term rentals are not permitted in this community, which rules out holiday-let income. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal, including a children's pool. Parking is arranged on the front patio or in the street, as the property has no private garage. Built in 1986, the home predates current insulation standards. The enclave of twelve houses means facilities are shared with a small group of neighbours.

This house suits several recognisable situations. Golf-playing households will value the frontline position: El Paraiso Golf Club is within walking distance, with El Campanario Golf Course only 0.3 km away, allowing play without daily car dependency to the course. Families relocating permanently benefit from a ground-floor bedroom and walk-in shower room, The International School of Estepona 0.8 km away, and a pharmacy, supermarket and health infrastructure nearby. Retirees seeking a manageable, single-community setting may find the small enclave of twelve houses and the flat 1.4% gradient to the beach appealing, since the terrain poses no significant walking obstacle. Buyers wanting a flexible indoor-outdoor layout, a terrace that converts to a glazed room in winter, will recognise that feature in the lounge terrace. Conversely, the property fits less well for buyers seeking rental income, since short-term letting is prohibited. Those wanting a private pool, a private garage or contemporary new-build energy performance should also look elsewhere, as the house offers communal swimming, patio or street parking, and 1986 construction. The property suits occupants who accept a mature building in exchange for an established location where amenities, golf, school and beach are all within a short radius, and who intend to use the home personally rather than commercially.
The house was built in 1986 and is described as being in good condition. Its construction predates current Spanish building regulations on thermal insulation and energy performance, which is normal for the urbanisation's era and should be verified through a technical survey. The interior layout is conventional for its period: entrance hall, spacious lounge, fitted kitchen, dining area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, connected by an internal staircase. Notable fittings include a wood burner in the lounge, air conditioning with both hot and cold functions, and a walk-in shower room on the ground floor. The most distinctive technical feature is the lounge terrace enclosure: a remote-operated retractable glass roof with full-height glass curtains, which allows the space to function as either an open terrace or a glazed additional room depending on season and weather. The photographs show a bathroom with blue tiling, bathtub and sink, and a twin bedroom, finishes consistent with a maintained but not newly renovated home. Outside, the west-facing terraces on both levels look over the golf course and mountains. The basement provides a spacious storeroom. Community elements, gardens and swimming pool, including a children's pool, are maintained collectively by the twelve-house community. The community has scheduled exterior painting of the urbanisation as imminent, indicating ongoing communal upkeep. Buyers should treat the condition report as a starting point and commission an independent survey covering damp, electrics and the terrace mechanism before purchase.
The property is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €550,000, this is not a from-price, and no unit variation applies. The price reflects a key-ready, 1986-built townhouse of 114 m² with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple terraces and access to communal gardens and pool. For context, newly built apartments elsewhere on the coast start from around €205,000–€270,000 in comparable projects, so buyers are paying a premium here for the established frontline-golf setting and the small twelve-house enclave. Availability is immediate upon notarial transfer. Buyers should additionally account for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees), annual IBI, community fees for the shared gardens and pool, and possible maintenance given the building's age.
Daily life here follows the rhythm of a mature golf urbanisation rather than a purpose-built resort. The enclave consists of twelve houses arranged around shared gardens and a pool, which keeps the setting quiet and neighbourly, particularly outside the summer months. Mornings can start on the full-width upper terrace, which faces west and looks over the golf course towards the mountains, including views towards La Concha. The lounge terrace is fitted with a retractable glass roof and glass curtains, so it can be used as an enclosed room in winter and an open terrace in summer, effectively adding flexible living space usable throughout the year. Practical errands are short: the supermarket is 453 m away, within an easy walk, and four pharmacies operate within two kilometres. The front patio currently serves for outside dining and barbecues but could alternatively be used for parking. Evenings tend to centre outdoors, as the west orientation catches the afternoon and evening sun. The beach at Playa Isdabe is 1.3 km away as the crow flies, a walk of roughly twenty minutes or a short drive, with Salduna and Playa del Saladillo slightly further along the coast. The surrounding area is urbanised with amenities within walking and cycling distance, and 31 restaurants, six cafes and three banks sit within a two-kilometre radius. In high summer the area is busier, driven by tourism, while from autumn to spring it reverts to a residential pace. Groceries, golf, school runs and beach visits can all be managed locally without constant motorway driving.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with practical accessibility. Within a two-kilometre radius there are 31 restaurants, six cafes, three banks, four pharmacies and a dentist, meaning most daily needs are met without a car. The nearest supermarket sits 453 m from the property. For families, one school lies within two kilometres and The International School of Estepona is 0.8 km away; the wider area counts 19 primary schools and 10 secondary schools. Healthcare is available at two health centres in the area, with the nearest hospital 5.2 km away. Sports facilities cluster unusually close: El Campanario Golf Course at 0.3 km, El Paraiso Golf Club around 1 km, and the RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 0.9 km. Public transport covers the area with six lines and 50 stops, which supports car-free living for local trips, though most residents use a car for longer journeys. Electric-vehicle owners can charge 1.8 km away, with Tesla Superchargers at Estepona (3.8 km) and Marbella (9.5 km). The urban environment means the area is built-up rather than rural, with the associated noise and activity levels of a coastal zone that hosts 24 hotels and around 6,900 tourist beds, busier in summer, residential in tone during the rest of the year.
The map shows the townhouse within the El Paraiso urbanisation, frontline to the golf course between Estepona and Marbella. Note the cluster of amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, international school and golf clubs, all within about one kilometre, and the beaches roughly 1.3–1.7 km to the south. All distances are straight-line.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
El Paraiso occupies a position on the western Costa del Sol between Estepona and the San Pedro, Marbella belt. Marbella, with around 148,000 inhabitants, lies 14 km to the east; Estepona is the nearer municipal town to the west. Malaga city (61 km, some 579,000 inhabitants) anchors the region at the eastern end, while Algeciras (53 km) sits to the southwest towards Gibraltar. Within this corridor, El Paraiso functions as an established golf urbanisation, older and lower-density than the recent new-build apartment zones further east, and more residential in character than the Puerto Banus leisure core 6.6 km away.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances and travel times are longer. The nearest beach, Playa Isdabe, is 1.3 km away, with Salduna at 1.4 km and Playa del Saladillo at 1.7 km, all walkable or a few minutes by car on the flat terrain (1.4% gradient). Marbella lies 14 km to the east and Estepona a similar short distance west, so both towns are within a 15–20 minute drive. Puerto Deportivo José Banus, the marina at Puerto Banus, is 6.6 km away. Two airports serve the location: Gibraltar (GIB) at roughly 46 km and Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at approximately 52 km straight-line, meaning about 45–50 minutes by road depending on traffic. Alicante-Elche (ALC) is 443 km away and not practical for regular use. Public transport is available with six lines and 50 stops in the area, and many amenities are reachable on foot or by bicycle. A car remains the practical choice for airport runs, Marbella visits and bulk shopping.

The location sits at 25 m above sea level with a flat gradient of 1.4% towards the beach, so walking and cycling involve no significant climbs. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.2°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, mild winters and warm, dry summers. The swimming season extends to five months during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C, roughly from late May into October. The west-facing orientation of the main terraces means the house catches afternoon and evening sun, which suits outdoor dining and evening use but leaves mornings on the shaded side. Beyond the golf course, the natural surroundings include viewpoints at Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.4 km) and Mirador del Tajo del Novio (4.9 km), and the mountain scenery, including views towards La Concha from the upper floor, frames the setting. The combination of low elevation, flat terrain and moderate temperatures makes outdoor activity comfortable for most of the year.

Three beaches lie within walking and short-driving distance: Playa Isdabe (1.3 km), Salduna (1.4 km) and Playa del Saladillo (1.7 km), plus Playa Atalaya at 1.7 km, all measured in a straight line. These are the sandy beaches of the Estepona, San Pedro stretch of coast. Golf is the dominant recreational asset: the property sits frontline to El Paraiso Golf Club (clubhouse around 0.85–1 km), with El Campanario Golf Course just 0.3 km away, giving two courses within a kilometre. Racquet sports are covered by the RozaRossa Tennis and Padel Club at 0.9 km. Waterfront recreation extends to Puerto Deportivo José Banus at 6.6 km for marina facilities and dining. For walking and nature, the viewpoints at Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos and Mirador del Tajo del Novio lie under five kilometres away. The area's tourism infrastructure, 24 hotels and roughly 6,900 beds, supports a wide choice of restaurants and leisure options, concentrated in the summer season.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a different segment from the newer apartment developments that dominate current supply. Comparable new-build projects listed alongside it include Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000), all from-prices for new apartments in more easterly or easterly-equivalent locations. At a fixed €550,000 for 114 m², this townhouse sits at roughly €4,820 per square metre, a premium over those new-build entry prices, and the comparison illustrates what the price represents: an established, low-density setting frontline to a golf course in the Estepona, Marbella corridor, rather than a newly built apartment in a higher-density complex. Location quality also differs. El Paraiso lies 14 km from Marbella and about 6.6 km from Puerto Banus, placing it in one of the coast's more consolidated residential belts, with an international school 0.8 km away and two golf courses within a kilometre. The regional housing market records around 3,163 transactions per year locally, and the median provincial income of €16,450 contextualises the domestic market against an international buyer base. Trade-offs against new-build alternatives include the 1986 construction date, communal rather than private pool, the absence of a private garage and the community's ban on short-term rentals, the latter removing the holiday-let revenue that motivates some coastal purchases. What the property offers in exchange is immediate availability, a small twelve-house community rather than a large resort complex, and a mature urbanisation where infrastructure, shops, schools, healthcare, transport, already exists rather than being promised. Buyers comparing options should weigh these factors against their intended use: personal residence in an established golf setting versus new-build specification with rental potential elsewhere.
