This property is a traditional townhouse located in the urban center of Manilva, Málaga. Featuring a living area of 68 m², with two bedrooms and one bathroom, the home offers a structural base for renovation. The location is characterized by an urban setting where essential amenities, including a supermarket and pharmacy, are within walking distance. The property is situated at approximately 137 meters above sea level. The coastline of Playa de Manilva is located at a distance of 2.5 km.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house is situated in the 'Manilva Pueblo' district, the historic town center. This area distinguishes itself from the immediate coastal strip by its traditional street layout and higher elevation. A car is recommended for visiting the beaches, but is not strictly necessary for daily shopping given the proximity of retail stores.
This property targets buyers looking for a fixer-upper. The layout of two bedrooms provides compact living space. Due to the presence of a private terrace, outdoor space is available. The 'urban views' indicate that the view primarily faces other buildings and streets.
This is not a new build project. The property is classified as 'Renovation Required'. The current state of the fixtures and fittings is outdated. Buyers should account for a complete modernization process, including sanitary ware, kitchen, and wall and floor finishes.
This project does not offer amenities such as a swimming pool, garden, or communal spaces. Parking is on-street (public). The finish is in poor condition, requiring immediate investment after purchase. The property is not directly on the beach but located inland.
This project is suitable for investors or DIY enthusiasts looking to increase the value of a property through renovation. It is also an option for buyers with a limited budget willing to invest time and effort into finishing touches. For buyers seeking move-in ready comfort, this object is less suitable. The location is further relevant for those who prefer life in a Spanish village over residential subdivisions.
The current condition of the home is dated and shows signs of wear. Descriptions and imagery indicate damage to sanitary facilities and walls. The home requires a complete refurbishment. The quality of finishing after renovation depends on the materials and contractors chosen by the new owner. No specific high-end finishes are present in the current state.
The asking price of €150,000 positions this object in the lower segment of the regional real estate market. This price level reflects the required renovation. For comparable, renovated properties in the same region, prices are significantly higher. The availability of this type of home is limited, as most of the regional supply consists of new build apartments.
Manilva Pueblo functions as an authentic Andalusian village. Daily life takes place on the streets and around the main square. The presence of local shops and tapas bars within walking distance creates a central living environment. In the morning, groceries can be done on foot, while evenings are spent in local hospitality venues. The distance to the coast (approx. 3 km) ensures one is separated from the tourist bustle of the beaches, yet can be there within minutes by car.
The environment offers a mix of living and daily amenities. A supermarket is located 315 meters away, and a pharmacy at 159 meters. The Complejo Deportivo Las Viñas is 400 meters away, bringing sports facilities close by. The streets are narrow and the area feels local and traditional. It is an area that is inhabited year-round, unlike purely tourist zones.
The map shows the position of the home in the center of Manilva Pueblo. Distances to beaches (blue zone) and golf courses (green zone) are measured as the crow flies.
Manilva is located on the southwestern edge of the province of Málaga, bordering Cádiz. It is part of the 'Costa del Sol Occidental'. The position is strategic between the larger cities of Estepona (east) and Sotogrande (west). It offers an affordable alternative to the more expensive coastal towns in the region.
The nearest beach, Playa de Manilva, is located at a distance of 2.5 km as the crow flies. La Duquesa marina is located at 3.1 km. For airports, Gibraltar is the closest option at 26 km, while Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is 75 km away. Accessibility by car is good due to the proximity of the A-7/AP-7 connections.

Compared to projects like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) or Aby Upper (from €320,000), the asking price of this object in Manilva is significantly lower. The main difference is the construction phase: the comparison projects are new builds with luxury amenities and higher finish levels. This object in Manilva is an existing construction that needs to be fully renovated. The location Manilva Pueblo is more traditional and village-like than the urbanizations of Estepona or Benalmadena. For buyers looking at price per square meter, this object offers a low entry, but with additional costs for renovation. Unlike the gated communities on the coast, this is a home in an open Spanish neighborhood.
