A substantial semi-detached house in La Duquesa, Manilva, on the western Costa del Sol. The property offers approximately 350 m² of built space on a 500 m² plot, with six bedrooms, two bathrooms, terraces and a balcony. Built in 2005, it is key-ready and includes a private pool, jacuzzi, sauna, a private lift and garage space for five cars. The asking price is fixed at €1,010,000. The house sits within a golf-side urbanisation, 0.6 km from La Duquesa beach as the crow flies and 300 m from Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an established urbanisation in La Duquesa, in the municipality of Manilva, 14 m above sea level with a flat gradient to the beach. The marina is roughly 300 m away as the crow flies, the beach 0.6 km, and Doña Julia golf course 2.5 km. Thirty-three restaurants, three pharmacies and several schools lie within a 2 km radius.
The house accommodates large households: six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a storage room, fitted wardrobes and garage space for five vehicles. A private lift connects the floors, which supports multi-generational use or reduced mobility. Outdoor space includes terraces, a balcony, a private pool, jacuzzi and sauna, alongside a communal pool and gardens.
This is an existing home, completed in 2005, offered key-ready. It is not part of a new-build development, so no construction phases, payment stages or delivery dates apply. The condition is documented as excellent, with air conditioning and a fireplace already installed. Any purchase proceeds through the standard resale route rather than an off-plan process.
The property has two bathrooms for six bedrooms, which limits simultaneous use by large groups. The build dates from 2005, so buyers should verify current technical installations independently. The eastern orientation shifts sun exposure towards the morning. No plot expansion, no further development rights and no rental licence status are documented in the available data.
The house fits several recognisable situations. A family relocating permanently to the coast needs school places, healthcare and space; within 2 km there are three primary schools, one secondary school and a health centre, and the six bedrooms absorb a growing household without immediate expansion. Multi-generational buyers face a specific problem: most coastal townhouses stack living space over three floors with stairs as the only connection. Here the private lift solves that, allowing grandparents or less mobile family members to use the whole house. Buyers who host frequently, extended family holidays, visiting friends, seasonal rental of part of the property, benefit from the capacity. Six bedrooms, parking for five cars and two separate water-facing leisure zones (private pool plus communal pool) allow several households to share the property without constant friction. Golf-oriented owners will note the frontline-golf setting and the documented golf views, with Doña Julia at 2.5 km and further courses at Estepona and Casares within a short drive. It fits less well for buyers seeking a low-maintenance lock-and-go apartment, a modern off-plan build with warranty stages, or a hillside property with sweeping elevated views, this is a 2005 build on flat land close to the marina, and that is a different proposition.
The house was completed in 2005 and is documented as being in excellent condition. The specification includes fitted wardrobes throughout the bedrooms, a dedicated storage room, air conditioning and a fireplace, which covers both summer cooling and winter heating demand in a region where average annual temperature sits at 18.5°C. The wellness installations go beyond the standard for this category: a private swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna are all on the plot, in addition to the communal pool and gardens of the urbanisation. This reduces reliance on shared facilities and extends use into shoulder seasons. The private lift is a structural feature rarely found in semi-detached houses of this age and size, and it materially changes how the full 350 m² can be used across generations. Parking capacity is documented at five cars within the garage, an unusually high figure for the area and relevant for households with multiple vehicles or visiting guests. As with any 2005 build, buyers should commission an independent technical survey covering electrical installations, plumbing, the lift's maintenance record and pool equipment, since these systems approach twenty years of service. No documentation on recent renovation, energy performance or warranty status is included in the available data, so the reported excellent condition should be verified on inspection rather than assumed.
The property is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €1,010,000; it is not part of a price-list development, so there is no "from" price or unit variation. At roughly 350 m² built on a 500 m² plot, the asking price corresponds to approximately €2,890 per m² of built area. The house is key-ready, completed in 2005, which means the purchase can proceed directly to survey, notary and completion without construction stages. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs (transfer tax, notary and registry fees), and should confirm community fees, IBI and waste-collection costs with the seller, as these figures are not included in the available data.
This is a high-capacity family house positioned for daily use rather than occasional visits. With six bedrooms and a 500 m² plot, it suits households that need volume: permanent residents with children, multi-generational families, or buyers who regularly host guests. The private lift removes the usual barrier of a multi-storey townhouse, making upper floors accessible for older family members. The daily rhythm of the location is walkable within its core. The marina at Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa is about 300 m away as the crow flies, and the beach roughly 600 m on a flat 2.3% gradient, so morning swims and evening walks along the seafront require no car. Within 2 km there are 33 restaurants, four cafés, three pharmacies, a dentist, a health centre, three primary schools and one secondary school, which covers most day-to-day needs. The house itself is oriented around outdoor living. The balcony overlooks the golf course and pool, and the listing documents sea, golf, country and panoramic views. Morning sun comes with the eastern orientation; the afternoon shifts to shaded terraces. The private pool, jacuzzi and sauna extend usable leisure hours beyond the beach, and the communal pool and gardens provide a second option for children. A car remains useful for wider trips, Doña Julia golf is 2.5 km away, Sotogrande port 8.9 km and Estepona about 6.3 km from the nearest golf course, but the immediate neighbourhood functions on foot. Five public transport lines with 29 stops in the area provide a basic alternative, particularly along the coast road.
Life around the property centres on the La Duquesa marina and seafront. The marina, roughly 300 m away as the crow flies, anchors the local hospitality scene; the 33 restaurants and four cafés within 2 km cluster largely around it and the adjacent beach. La Duquesa beach is 0.6 km away on a flat 2.3% gradient, making the walk to the sea short and manageable for all ages. Daily services are concentrated: three pharmacies, a dentist and a health centre within 2 km, plus three primary schools and a secondary school. This density means the area supports year-round living, not only seasonal tourism, reflected in 1,351 housing transactions per year in the local market. For sport, Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas lies 3.0 km away, and the golf cluster around Doña Julia (2.5 km) provides another daily option. Playa de la Chullera, 2.6 km west, offers a quieter alternative to the main beach. Public transport exists, five lines and 29 stops, but is oriented along the coastal corridor. A car remains the practical choice for Marbella (35 km as the crow flies), Algeciras (32 km) or Málaga city (83 km).
The map shows the property's position between the golf course and the sea: the marina 300 m to the south, the beach just beyond it, and the green of the course at the balcony's edge. Note that distances shown are straight-line; road routes run slightly longer.

La Duquesa sits on the western Costa del Sol, in Manilva municipality, roughly midway between Estepona and Sotogrande. This places it at the quieter, more residential end of the coast: Marbella is 35 km away as the crow flies, Algeciras 32 km to the west and Málaga city 83 km to the east. The area trades the density of Marbella and Estepona for golf-side urbanisations, a working marina and village-scale services, while remaining within reach of both, Estepona's courses start at 6.3 km and Sotogrande's marina at 8.9 km. For buyers comparing the central Costa del Sol, this is the lower-density, value-per-square-metre alternative.
Distances below are straight-line; actual road distances run longer. The nearest beach, La Duquesa, is 0.6 km away, and the marina 0.3 km, both walkable. Three golf courses sit within 6.5 km: Doña Julia at 2.5 km, the Golf Academy at Albayt Resort at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km. Sotogrande port lies 8.9 km west. Two airports serve the area. Gibraltar (GIB) is about 25 km away as the crow flies, which suits UK-based travel, while Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at roughly 74 km offers the wider international network. By car, both require a drive along the A-7 or AP-7 coastal corridor. Larger towns: Algeciras at 32 km, Marbella at 35 km and Málaga city at 83 km, all straight-line. Locally, five bus lines with 29 stops cover the immediate area, but frequency is oriented to resident demand rather than commuter schedules, so most households keep at least one car, and this house garages five.

The climate data supports a long outdoor season. The average annual temperature is 18.5°C, and the swimming season, months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, runs about five months, typically May to October. The private pool and jacuzzi extend this window further on either side. The site lies at just 14 m above sea level with a 2.3% gradient to the beach, so the terrain is flat throughout: no hillside stairs, no elevated access roads. This affects daily life directly, cycling, walking to the marina and pushing prams or wheelchairs all remain effortless. The eastern orientation gives the terraces and balcony morning sun, with shade building through the afternoon; the documented golf, sea and country views are visible from the upper balcony. Inland, the Manilva countryside rises behind the urbanisation, giving the green backdrop visible in the listing's view descriptions.

The two nearest beaches bracket the area's character. La Duquesa, 0.6 km away, is the everyday beach: dark Mediterranean sand backed by the marina's chiringuitos and restaurants. Playa de la Chullera, 2.6 km west towards Sotogrande, is a quieter cove stretch beneath low cliffs, suited to off-peak visits. The marina itself functions as the recreational hub, berths, waterfront dining and the coastal promenade that links eastwards towards Estepona. Sotogrande port, 8.9 km away, adds a larger sailing and dining scene within a short drive. Golf anchors the inland recreation: Doña Julia at 2.5 km is the home course, with the Albayt Resort academy at 4.9 km and Estepona Golf at 6.3 km providing variety. For land sports, Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas at 3.0 km covers municipal facilities. On the plot itself, the private pool, jacuzzi and sauna supply daily recreation without leaving home, complemented by the communal pool and gardens.

At €1,010,000 fixed for roughly 350 m² built, about €2,890 per m², this property prices well above the new-build comparables listed for the wider region: Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those are entry-level apartment products, however; the correct comparison is not price per unit but capacity per euro. A buyer working with roughly one million euros can either purchase a new two- or three-bedroom apartment on the central Costa del Sol or, as here, a six-bedroom house with a 500 m² plot, private pool, sauna, lift and five-car garage on the western end of the coast. The trade-off is structural: the house dates from 2005 rather than off-plan 2026 delivery, and its location in Manilva sits 35 km from Marbella rather than within the Golden Mile's orbit. What the western Costa del Sol offers in exchange is lower density and more square metres for the money. Estepona Golf begins 6.3 km away, Sotogrande's marina and polo valley lie under 9 km, and the local market records 1,351 transactions per year, an active but not overheated resale market. Gibraltar airport at 25 km straight-line is a practical advantage for UK-based owners that the Mijas and Torre del Mar comparables cannot match. For a household needing six bedrooms specifically, the new-build alternatives in this data set do not compete: they deliver smaller units at lower entry prices. The relevant competition is other large resale townhouses between Estepona and Sotogrande, and against that field this property's lift, wellness facilities and parking capacity are the distinguishing variables.
