This semi-detached house stands in Duquesa Golf Villas, a gated community beside the La Duquesa golf course in the Manilva municipality of Málaga province. Built in 2005 (completion date indicative) and subsequently renovated, the property offers 130 m² of living space across three floors, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a solarium and a south orientation. The location places the beach at roughly 600 metres and Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa at about 300 metres, while everyday amenities including a supermarket and pharmacy sit within walking distance. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies approximately 74 km away by straight line, with Gibraltar airport around 25 km.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits within an established urban area of La Duquesa, between the golf course and the coast. Distances are short: the marina at 0.3 km, La Duquesa beach at 0.6 km, and a supermarket at 172 m. The terrain is essentially flat, with a 2.3 per cent gradient towards the sea and an elevation of 14 metres above sea level, which means walking and cycling are practical for most daily errands.
The house is configured for permanent or seasonal residential use: three bedrooms and two bathrooms on a corner plot within a gated complex with three communal pools, one of which is a children's pool. Practical features include fitted wardrobes, a laundry area, a storage room, private parking, fibre optic connectivity and full air conditioning. Sold furnished, it can be occupied without further fitting-out work.
This is not a new-build development. The house was completed in 2005 (indicative) and has since undergone a complete renovation, described as including renewed installations, a central air conditioning system and integrated home automation controlling lighting, appliances and electric blinds. Buyers should verify the scope, permits and warranty status of the renovation independently during due diligence.
The property has no private swimming pool; pool access is communal. There is no private garden, only a private terrace alongside communal gardens. The nearest EV charging point is approximately 10 km away, which affects electric vehicle ownership. The listed price of €399,000 is presented as a starting figure and availability should be confirmed. The nearest hospital is 6.6 km away.

This property matches several recognisable buyer situations. A couple or family seeking a holiday home that requires no work before first use will find the furnished, renovated condition relevant. Buyers intending partial or full relocation benefit from the walkable amenities, the health centre within the area and three primary schools plus one secondary school in the locality, which supports year-round family living. Golf players place Doña Julia at 2.5 km and Finca Cortesín at 4.3 km within a short drive. Those who prioritise outdoor space within a secure complex may value the combination of private terrace, balcony and solarium alongside communal pools. The house is less obviously suited to buyers wanting a private pool or a large private garden, since those are not part of the offer. It also suits buyers who prefer established communities with a known service charge history over newly built developments. Investors considering rental use should note the location near marina, beach and golf, and assess licence requirements for tourist lettings in Manilva municipality independently. Households dependent on an electric vehicle should factor in the 10 km distance to the nearest charging point, or investigate private charging options with the community.
The renovation is described as complete, covering installations, climate control and home automation. The kitchen is equipped with Bosch appliances throughout: an induction hob with integrated extractor, coffee maker, steam oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, wine cooler and a reverse osmosis water filtration system. Flooring is marble, a material typical of the 2005 construction period but here paired with contemporary joinery; photo material shows a modern sofa setting, a smart-home control panel and an oak-toned kitchen with island countertop. The master bathroom includes a freestanding stone bathtub, a smart toilet with bidet function, large mirrors and a stone basin on a solid wood counter. The second bathroom has a walk-in shower. Technical fittings include double glazing, ducted air conditioning, fibre optic connection and satellite TV, with integrated home automation controlling lighting, appliances, electric blinds and curtains remotely. Storage is addressed through fitted wardrobes, a storage room and a laundry area. Buyers should treat the 2026 renovation date stated in the listing as indicative and request documentation: invoices, electrical and plumbing certification, and any community approvals for the works. No energy performance certificate rating was supplied in the data and should be requested from the vendor, as it is legally required for resale in Spain.
The asking price is €399,000 for a fully renovated, furnished three-bedroom semi-detached house of 130 m², which works out at approximately €3,070 per m². Within the immediate comparable set, Alonia in La Duquesa starts at €316,000 and Aby Upper in Estepona at €320,000, while Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts at €524,600. The price of a resale property with completed renovation differs structurally from off-plan pricing: there is no construction-phase payment schedule, and the property can be transferred relatively quickly subject to standard Spanish conveyancing. Buyers should budget for transfer costs including notary, registry, legal fees and taxes, which typically add a percentage on top of the purchase price.
Daily life here is organised around a compact, walkable coastal neighbourhood. A supermarket sits 172 metres from the door and a pharmacy 182 metres, so routine shopping does not require a car. The marina at Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa, roughly 300 metres away, functions as the social centre of the area with its restaurants, bars and promenade; the surrounding 2 km radius contains 33 restaurants, four cafés and three pharmacies. The house itself follows a vertical layout: an open-plan living and dining area with an island kitchen on the main floor, opening onto a private terrace adjacent to a communal pool; three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor, with the master suite accessing a south-facing balcony; and a top floor arranged as a multifunctional room with a cinema setup, bar and office area, connected to a solarium. Because the complex is established rather than newly built, the gardens and pools are already mature, and the surrounding community operates year-round. With 29 public transport stops across five lines in the area, mobility without a car is feasible, though a vehicle expands access to Estepona, Sotogrande and the wider region. The flat terrain and low elevation make walking to the beach undemanding, roughly a ten-minute stroll to La Duquesa beach.
The surrounding area combines residential calm with dense everyday provision. Within a 2 km radius there are 33 restaurants, three pharmacies, four cafés and a dentist, alongside a health centre and schools. The supermarket at 172 m and pharmacy at 182 m mean most routine needs are met on foot. Recreational infrastructure is concentrated nearby: the marina at 0.3 km, La Duquesa beach at 0.6 km, and the Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas sports centre at 3.0 km. The climate data supports outdoor use for much of the year: 3,845 recorded sunshine hours annually, an average temperature of 18.5°C and a five-month swimming season with sea temperatures at or above 20°C. The area records 1,351 property transactions locally, indicating an active and liquid resale market rather than a dormant seasonal enclave. Transport is served by five public lines covering 29 stops, which is substantial for a settlement of this size. Off-season, the marina district continues to function, though the character of the area shifts towards a quieter residential rhythm outside the summer months. The flat terrain and 14 m elevation mean no significant climbs between the house, the beach and the marina.
The map shows the property in relation to the La Duquesa marina immediately to the south, the beach beyond it, and the golf course wrapping the urbanisation to the north. Estepona lies east along the coast; Sotogrande and Gibraltar lie west. Everyday amenities cluster within a few hundred metres of the marker.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
La Duquesa occupies the western end of the Costa del Sol, in Manilva municipality, between Estepona to the east and Sotogrande and the Cádiz border to the west. This positions the property roughly equidistant from two airport options: Gibraltar at about 25 km straight-line and Málaga at roughly 74 km. The locality is smaller and lower-density than Estepona or Marbella, with the marina as its focal point, and it sits closer to the Sotogrande golf and polo cluster than most Costa del Sol addresses.
Key distances: La Duquesa beach 0.6 km, Playa de Manilva 0.8 km, Playa de la Chullera 2.6 km. Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa 0.3 km; Puerto de Sotogrande 8.9 km. Golf: Doña Julia 2.5 km, Finca Cortesín 4.3 km, Golf Academy Albayt Resort 4.9 km, Estepona Golf 6.3 km. Hospital 6.6 km. Airports by straight line: Gibraltar approximately 25 km, Málaga-Costa del Sol approximately 74 km, which translates to a drive of roughly 20–25 minutes and about an hour respectively by road. The nearest EV charging point is 10 km away. Supermarket and pharmacy are both under 200 m from the property.

The location sits at 14 metres above sea level on a coastal plain, with a 2.3 per cent slope towards the beach, effectively flat terrain. Historical climate data records 3,845 sunshine hours per year, an annual average temperature of 18.5°C and a swimming season of five months during which sea temperatures reach or exceed 20°C. For practical purposes this means terrace and solarium use extends well beyond the summer, while the hottest months are moderated by the maritime position. The microclimate of the western Costa del Sol, sheltered by the Sierra Bermeja to the northeast, tends to reduce rainfall relative to inland Málaga province. Coastal walks towards Playa de la Chullera and the Sabinillas promenade provide accessible natural recreation. Buyers sensitive to summer heat should note that the property's air conditioning and the south-facing orientation of its terraces allow both sun exposure and shade management through electric blinds and curtains.

The nearest beach, La Duquesa, lies 0.6 km from the property, followed by Playa de Manilva at 0.8 km and Playa de la Chullera at 2.6 km. The Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina, at 300 metres, anchors the local leisure offer with waterside dining and a promenade. Golf is a defining feature of the area: Doña Julia Golf at 2.5 km, Finca Cortesín Golf Club at 4.3 km, a venue with European tour pedigree, plus the Albayt Resort golf academy at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km. For structured sport, the Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas is 3.0 km away. Within the complex itself, three communal pools including a children's pool provide swimming without leaving the grounds. Sotogrande's marina and its associated polo, padel and sailing infrastructure lie under 9 km to the southwest.

Within its direct comparable set, this property occupies a middle position. Alonia in La Duquesa starts at €316,000 and Aby Upper in Estepona at €320,000, both new-build or newer schemes, while Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts at €524,600, reflecting a different specification and market tier. At €399,000 for 130 m², this resale house prices at roughly €3,070 per m², above the entry-level new builds but below the upper Estepona scheme. What the resale route offers in exchange is immediacy: no construction phase, no phased payments and a completed renovation, with the caveat that warranties and documentation should be verified rather than assumed from a developer guarantee. Locationally, La Duquesa differs from Estepona town in scale and character: it is a marina-centred enclave with a tighter amenity radius rather than a full municipal centre, and it sits closer to the Sotogrande corridor and Gibraltar airport. The western Costa del Sol has seen steady transaction volumes, 1,351 recorded locally, which supports resale liquidity compared with more remote inland positions. Golf access is competitive: Doña Julia at 2.5 km and Finca Cortesín at 4.3 km place two courses closer than Estepona Golf at 6.3 km. Buyers weighing new-build against resale here are effectively trading developer warranties and modern energy ratings for a finished, furnished product in an established community with mature gardens and a known running-cost history, a trade-off best resolved by reviewing the community's service charge accounts and the renovation's certification before committing.
