This townhouse is situated in Terrazas de Miraflores, a gated residential community between Pinares de San Antón and Miraflores del Palo on the eastern side of Málaga. The property offers 248 m² of built space across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, completed in 2009. Positioned approximately 2.1 km from the nearest beach and about 6 km from Málaga city centre, it combines residential quiet with urban accessibility. The house includes a private garage, rooftop solarium with sea views, and access to a communal pool and padel court within the community.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property lies in a residential hillside area east of Málaga centre, roughly 2.1 km from the coast at Playa de San Andrés and 2.3 km from the beaches of El Palo and Pedregalejo. Málaga Airport is approximately 14 km away by road. Train stations at Atarazanas and Málaga Centro Alameda are within about 1 km, and some 40 public transport lines serve the wider area.
The layout serves households needing three bedrooms and multiple living zones: a living room with fireplace, a terrace, an interior patio, and a rooftop solarium. The primary bedroom is en-suite with a sea-facing terrace. A multipurpose basement with independent access and high ceilings has previously functioned as a gym and home office, and could accommodate other uses. Parking for two cars is provided in a private enclosed garage.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 2009 and is offered in good condition, meaning buyers avoid construction-phase risk and waiting periods associated with off-plan purchases. Interior elements such as hardwood floors, air conditioning, and a fireplace are already installed. Community facilities, including the pool and padel court, are established and in use.
The property does not offer a private pool or private garden; both pool and garden areas are communal. There is no private outdoor hot tub, although the solarium is set up to accommodate one. The house has three bedrooms rather than four or more, and as a 2009 build it does not carry a new-build energy certificate or modern developer warranties. A west orientation means morning sun on the main terraces is limited.
This property fits several recognisable buyer situations. A family requiring proximity to international schooling would find St. George's British School, the Lycée Français, and the Cerrado de Calderón area within a short drive, combined with three bedrooms and a functional basement for study or play space. Buyers relocating to Málaga for work who want city access without central-city density, the centre is roughly 6 km away with train links within 1 km, form a second group. A third is the second-home buyer seeking a coastal property usable year-round, where the interior patio, solarium, and air conditioning extend comfort across seasons and the 18.4 °C average temperature supports off-season use. Households combining home office with residence will note the basement's track record as a workspace with independent access. Conversely, buyers seeking a private pool, a private garden, or four or more bedrooms would need to consider other properties, as would those prioritising new-build energy performance or morning sun on the main terrace given the west orientation. Buyers intending to rely exclusively on public transport should verify specific connections, as 40 lines serve the wider area but coverage of this specific hillside street may vary.
The interior specification, as listed, includes hardwood floors in the main living room, a working fireplace, and large windows oriented towards sea views. Air conditioning provides climate control, and the condition is recorded as good for a 2009 completion, a build date that places it after Spain's 2006 Technical Building Code came into force, meaning the original construction met then-current requirements for thermal insulation, ventilation, and accessibility. The property includes a utility room. Bathrooms number three in total: two full bathrooms plus a guest powder room, with the primary bedroom en-suite. Outdoor surfaces combine stone wall detailing and artificial lawn areas on terraces, visible in the property imagery, reducing garden maintenance burden. The basement is described as having high ceilings and an independent entrance, which supports flexible future use, though any conversion into a self-contained apartment would require verification against local planning rules and community statutes. As a resale property, no developer finish options or warranties apply; the buyer's survey would assess current condition of systems such as the air conditioning units, fireplace, and waterproofing of terraces and the solarium. The communal areas, pool, padel court, and gardens, are reported as maintained, and their ongoing upkeep costs would appear in community fees, which prospective buyers should request.
The property is listed at €850,000 for a completed 2009 townhouse of 248 m² with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a private two-car garage, and communal facilities. This positions it above new-build comparables in the region 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), a differential driven by the established Málaga city location, plot size of an existing townhouse, and proximity to the city centre rather than new-build specification. As a resale listing, the price is a fixed asking figure rather than a developer 'from' price.
Daily life at this address follows a pattern typical of eastern Málaga's residential belts: quiet, gated surroundings during the day, with the city, coast, and services a short drive or bus ride away. The house itself is organised around its outdoor spaces. The main terrace adjoins the living room and serves as the principal daytime and dining area, oriented towards sea views over the bay. The interior patio offers shade in summer, functioning as a secondary outdoor room when temperatures rise. The rooftop solarium, prepared for a jacuzzi, extends usable space in the evenings and provides 360-degree views across the city and coastline. Inside, the three bedrooms are positioned as sleeping quarters, with the en-suite primary bedroom opening onto its own sea-facing terrace. The basement is a significant functional zone: with high ceilings and independent access from the garage, it has operated as a gym and office and could serve as guest accommodation or a media room, subject to any community or planning constraints. Practical errands involve short trips: a supermarket sits 1.7 km away, a pharmacy 1.6 km, and a hospital 1.5 km. The neighbourhood density of services is high, 363 restaurants and 155 cafés within a 2 km radius, reflecting the proximity to El Palo and Pedregalejo rather than an isolated suburban setting. Residents can walk to local amenities in many cases, though a car simplifies supermarket runs, school commutes, and beach visits given the roughly 2.3 km distance and the residential topography between the house and the shore.
Pinares de San Antón is an established residential district on Málaga's eastern side, characterised by low-rise housing and pine cover on the slope between the city and the coast at El Palo. The immediate environment is residential and comparatively quiet relative to the beachfront zones below. Services are concentrated within a 2 km radius: 363 restaurants, 155 cafés, 81 pharmacies, 64 banks, and 22 dentists indicate a fully urbanised amenity base rather than a seasonal one, meaning the neighbourhood functions identically in February and August. Practical infrastructure is close: supermarket at 1.7 km, pharmacy at 1.6 km, and hospital at 1.5 km. Sports facilities nearby include Club de Tenis Málaga (0.7 km), SportMiraflores (1.2 km), and Polideportivo Municipal La Mosca (1.4 km), plus the community's own padel court. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo del Candado (2.7 km) and IGY Málaga Marina (5.5 km), serve boating interests. Transport links are strong for a residential hillside: 50 bus stops, 40 lines, and rail connections at Atarazanas (0.6 km) and Málaga Centro Alameda (0.9 km) place the city centre and its high-speed rail interchange within easy reach.
The map shows the property on the eastern slope of Málaga, between the Pinares de San Antón greenery and the coast at El Palo. The city centre, train stations, and airport lie to the southwest; the beaches and marinas to the southeast. This placement illustrates how the house sits within the city's own amenity radius rather than at the edge of it.

Within the regional hierarchy, the property sits inside Málaga's urban footprint (population approximately 579,000) rather than in a resort corridor. Marbella, 53 km west, functions as the Costa del Sol's principal resort city; Granada, 83 km east, offers an inland Andalusian alternative. The eastern Málaga location places the property closer to a major city centre, an international airport, and high-speed rail than comparable coastal properties further along the coast, at the cost of distance from Marbella's leisure economy.
Distances from the property are as follows (straight-line unless noted): nearest beach, Playa de San Andrés, at 2.1 km; Playa de El Palo and Playa de las Acacias at approximately 2.3 km; Playa de Pedregalejo at 2.5 km. Málaga Airport is roughly 14 km by road (approximately 9 km straight-line). Málaga city centre lies about 6 km away, Marbella 53 km, and Granada 83 km. Golf courses, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce, and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez, sit at 13 to 16 km. An EV charging point is located 2.2 km away, with additional Iberdrola chargers at 1.9 km and 2.4 km. The terrain towards the beach is essentially flat (0.0% gradient), which supports cycling and walking on the coastal side of the district.

The location records approximately 3,893 sunshine hours per year and an average annual temperature of 18.4 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 15 °C to 28 °C, figures consistent with the Málaga coastline, one of Spain's warmest winter urban climates. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, runs approximately four months, meaning sea swimming is a summer activity while terrace and outdoor use extends considerably longer. The property sits at essentially sea level with a flat approach to the coast, so no significant hill climbing is required on the beachward side, though the district itself occupies a slope, so approaches from the inland side may involve gradients. The west orientation places the main terrace and solarium in afternoon and evening sun, aligning with sunset use but limiting direct morning light on those spaces. The interior patio provides shaded outdoor space during peak summer heat.

The nearest beaches are those of the El Palo, Pedregalejo stretch: Playa de San Andrés (2.1 km), Playa de El Palo (2.3 km), Playa de las Acacias (2.3 km), and Playa de Pedregalejo (2.5 km). These are urban beaches with chiringuitos, promenades, and year-round facilities rather than resort beaches. Puerto Deportivo del Candado marina at 2.7 km offers berths and water sports. For golf, three courses lie between 13 and 16 km: Club de Golf Málaga Parador, the closest, plus Club de Golf de Guadalhorce and the Miguel Ángel Jiménez course. Tennis players have Club de Tenis Málaga 0.7 km away, and the community itself includes a padel court. The Alcazaba, Picasso Museum, and Málaga's cultural centre are all within roughly 6 km, giving access to the city's museums, theatre, and gastronomy without requiring long journeys.

Set against regional comparables, this property represents a distinctly different proposition from current new-build coastal developments. Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) are all recent or under-construction apartment projects in secondary coastal towns, whereas this listing is an established townhouse within Málaga's own urban fabric. That difference carries several practical consequences. First, location economics: Málaga city has developed into one of Spain's strongest urban property markets, supported by the technology-sector expansion, cruise port, and cultural tourism that the city has recorded over the past decade, dynamics not present in the same form in Torre del Mar or Estepona. Second, year-round utility: eastern Málaga's amenity base, 363 restaurants and 155 cafés within 2 km, reflects permanent urban demand rather than seasonal tourism, so the neighbourhood does not empty outside summer. Third, transport: the property's access to the airport (14 km by road), two rail stations within 1 km, and 40 bus lines exceeds what secondary coastal towns typically offer. Against that, the new-build comparables provide modern energy certificates, developer warranties, and lower entry prices, factors relevant to buyers weighting capital outlay and specification over urban location. Within eastern Málaga itself, the Pinares de San Antón district occupies the middle tier between the beachfront districts below and the premium hillside addresses of Cerrado de Calderón, and proximity to the international schools in that corridor is a location characteristic that influences demand for family housing in this specific pocket.
