This four-bedroom townhouse is located in the gated community of Duquesa Golf Villas in La Duquesa, on the western Costa del Sol in the municipality of Manilva, Málaga. Completed in 2005 and in good condition, the property offers 124 m² of living space spread over three levels, with three bathrooms, a private rear garden, a solarium and access to two communal pool areas. The asking price is fixed at €369,000. The home sits roughly 0.6 km from La Duquesa beach as the crow flies and 0.3 km from Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an established residential urbanisation between the Duquesa Golf course and the coast. La Duquesa beach lies about 0.6 km away in a straight line, and the marina about 0.3 km. The terrain towards the sea is flat, with a gradient of only 2.3%. Algeciras lies 32 km away and Marbella 35 km, both measured in a straight line.
The house provides four bedrooms and three bathrooms across 124 m², including an en-suite principal bedroom, a top-floor room usable as a bedroom or home office, a separate storage room and a private solarium. A gate in the rear garden opens directly onto the communal gardens and one of the two pool areas, which shortens the daily walk to swimming facilities.
This is a resale property, not a new-build development. Construction was completed in 2005 and the home is key-ready and in good condition. It is offered unfurnished, which allows buyers to plan their own interior. The stated completion date is indicative and should be verified during the purchase process.
The property does not have a private pool; swimming facilities are communal, shared within the gated community. Parking is on the street or in a private space, but there is no enclosed garage mentioned in the data. The orientation is north-west, which affects sun exposure on terraces. The home is sold unfurnished, so furnishing costs should be anticipated.
This home suits several recognisable situations. A family needing four bedrooms and three bathrooms within a moderate budget will find the layout workable, with the top-floor room available as a study once children claim the first-floor bedrooms. Buyers seeking a second home within walking distance of the sea may value the 600-metre straight-line distance to La Duquesa beach and the marina's dining options nearby. Investors can consider the rental demand around Duquesa, where golf visitors and holiday tenants sustain a seasonal letting market; the communal pools and gated setting are features that appeal to that audience. Retirees or part-year residents who prefer a flat, walkable setting will note the 2.3% gradient to the beach and the presence of a health centre and three primary schools within the local area, which supports longer stays. The property is less obvious for buyers wanting a private pool, an enclosed garage or a lock-and-leave apartment with full building services, since this is a three-level townhouse with communal facilities and street or open private parking. It also does not suit those seeking brand-new construction with developer warranties, as the house dates from 2005. Buyers sensitive to morning sun should weigh the north-west orientation against their daily routine.
The property was completed in 2005 and is presented in good condition, though the interior finish reflects its age rather than contemporary new-build standards. The kitchen is fully equipped with wooden cabinetry and a window, according to the listing photographs. The living area uses sliding and patio doors to connect the interior with the rear garden, a typical construction approach for Andalusian townhouses of this period. Bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom; the family bathroom and guest bathroom complete the three-bathroom arrangement. The top floor offers the solarium and a separate storage room, which is a practical feature for holiday equipment or seasonal items. No information is available in the data about recent renovations, appliance ages or the technical condition of installations such as the boiler, air conditioning or electrical system, and these points warrant verification during a viewing and through an independent technical survey, which is customary for resale purchases in Spain. As the home is sold unfurnished, buyers can replace flooring, kitchens or bathrooms to their own taste, but such works should be priced into the total budget. The community context also matters for quality of life: two communal pool areas and shared gardens imply community fees, and the overall maintenance standard of the urbanisation is best assessed on site.
The asking price is fixed at €369,000. This is an existing, key-ready resale home rather than a new-build project with a price list, so there is no range of unit prices. For context, comparable new-build developments nearby advertise from-prices: Alonia in La Duquesa from €316,000, Aby Upper in Estepona from €320,000 and Acqua Gardens in Estepona from €524,600. Those figures concern different product types and should not be read as direct equivalents. Buyers should additionally budget for purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and should confirm community fees and annual property tax (IBI) with the seller or managing agent before committing.
Daily life in this townhouse follows a coastal rhythm shaped by the immediate surroundings. Mornings can begin in the private rear garden, which connects through a gate to the communal gardens and one of the two swimming pool areas, so a swim before breakfast requires little more than a pair of sandals. The layout is practical for families or visiting guests: the ground floor holds the kitchen, a guest bathroom, the hallway and a generous living area with patio doors to the garden; the first floor carries three bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the principal bedroom offering an en-suite, dual-aspect patio doors and a private terrace; the top floor adds a flexible fourth bedroom or office, a storage room and the solarium with elevated views across the community. The marina at La Duquesa, roughly 300 metres away as the crow flies, anchors the local leisure scene with its restaurants and promenade, while the beach at La Duquesa sits about 600 metres from the front door. Within two kilometres there are more than thirty restaurants, several cafés and three pharmacies, which keeps everyday errands manageable on foot or by a short drive. The north-west orientation means the solarium and rear garden receive afternoon and evening sun, a pattern that suits late-day outdoor meals in a climate averaging 18.5°C annually. Outside the summer months the area quietens considerably, as much of the surrounding housing serves holiday use, so residents should expect a seasonal rhythm with livelier summers and calmer winters.
The immediate environment combines residential calm with proximity to the marina and golf facilities. Within two kilometres, the data lists 33 restaurants, four cafés, three pharmacies and a dentist, which covers most daily needs without longer trips. Education is available with three primary schools and one secondary school in the area, and there is one health centre, relevant for families and longer-term residents. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, about 0.3 km away as the crow flies, functions as the social hub of the neighbourhood with its waterside promenade. For sport, Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas lies 3.0 km away. Golfers can reach Doña Julia at 2.5 km, the Golf Academy Albayt Resort at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km. Public transport consists of five lines serving 29 stops, which allows some local travel without a car, though most residents in this part of the coast rely on a vehicle for commuting and shopping beyond the immediate area. Road distances to actual destinations will be longer than the straight-line figures given here.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Duquesa occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, in the municipality of Manilva between Estepona and Sotogrande. Its position places residents closer to Gibraltar (about 25 km straight-line) than to Málaga Airport (about 74 km), which distinguishes it from the Marbella-centred stretch of the coast. Marbella lies 35 km away and Algeciras 32 km, while Málaga city is 83 km distant. The area is characterised by a mix of holiday homes, golf developments and marina-based tourism, with housing turnover in the wider area recorded at 1,351 transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market.
Beach access is one of the property's strongest practical points: La Duquesa beach lies 0.6 km away as the crow flies, on a flat 2.3% gradient, making it walkable for most residents. Playa de la Chullera is 2.6 km away. Two marinas are within easy reach, Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa at 0.3 km and Puerto de Sotogrande at 8.9 km. For air travel, Gibraltar Airport is roughly 25 km away in a straight line and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport about 74 km; driving times to both will be longer than the direct distance suggests, and Málaga Airport is the more common gateway for international arrivals along this stretch of coast. Larger towns frame the region: Algeciras at 32 km and Marbella at 35 km straight-line, with Málaga city at 83 km. A car remains the practical means of transport for most journeys, although the five local bus lines and 29 stops provide a basic alternative.

The climate data points to a typical western Costa del Sol pattern: an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of about five months during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C, generally running from late spring into early autumn. The elevation of 14 metres above sea level underlines the genuinely coastal position, and the 2.3% gradient to the beach means no notable hills between the house and the shore, a detail that matters for older residents or those who prefer walking. The north-west orientation of the property implies afternoon and evening sun on the solarium and rear garden rather than early-morning light. Rainfall along this coast is modest and concentrated in the cooler months, so outdoor use of the garden and communal pools is realistic for much of the year. The surrounding landscape combines the green of the golf course and communal gardens with country views from the property.

The two nearest beaches, La Duquesa at 0.6 km and Playa de la Chullera at 2.6 km straight-line, sit at the heart of local recreation, with the marina promenade between them offering the main strolling route. Golf is the second pillar of the area's leisure offering: Doña Julia, 2.5 km away, is the closest course, followed by the Golf Academy Albayt Resort at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km, giving residents three options within a short drive. Sailing and boating facilities are concentrated at Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, practically on the doorstep, and Puerto de Sotogrande, one of the coast's larger marinas, at 8.9 km. For land-based sport, Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas lies 3.0 km away. Within the community itself, two communal pool areas provide swimming without leaving the urbanisation, and the property's private garden and solarium extend the outdoor space available to residents.

Within its immediate market, this townhouse competes with both resale stock and new-build developments around La Duquesa and Estepona. The nearby new-build project Alonia in La Duquesa advertises from €316,000, which is below this property's €369,000 asking price; however, from-prices typically concern smaller or lower-positioned units, while this resale home delivers 124 m² of finished, key-ready accommodation across three levels with a garden, solarium and four bedrooms. Aby Upper in Estepona starts at €320,000 and Acqua Gardens in Estepona at €524,600, illustrating the spread of pricing along this stretch of coast depending on finish, location and specification. A resale purchase differs from new build in several practical respects: there is no developer warranty or staged payment plan, the buyer pays transfer tax rather than VAT, and delivery is immediate rather than dependent on construction timelines. Against other parts of the Costa del Sol, La Duquesa's position at the western end offers lower entry prices than central Marbella, 35 km away, while retaining marina, beach and golf infrastructure. The distance to Málaga Airport of roughly 74 km straight-line is greater than for Marbella or Fuengirola properties, but Gibraltar Airport at about 25 km provides an alternative for UK-linked travel. Local housing turnover of 1,351 transactions per year in the wider area suggests reasonable liquidity for a future resale. Buyers comparing options should weigh the age of a 2005 build and its communal facilities against the warranty and modern specification of new-build alternatives, and set both against the actual living space obtained per euro.
