This four-bedroom townhouse is located in Artola, on the eastern side of Marbella, within a residential urbanisation at approximately 17 metres above sea level. The property offers 178 m² of living space across three bathrooms and a guest cloakroom, with a private rooftop solarium, covered terrace and private garage. Built in 2007 and delivered key-ready, it is offered fully furnished with a fixed asking price of €599,000. Playa de Cabopino lies roughly 0.8 km away as the crow flies, and the area includes golf courses, international schools and marina facilities within a short radius.
Against current new-build supply on the Costa del Sol, this townhouse occupies a different market position. Comparable new developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar start from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those projects offer modern construction and developer specifications at lower entry prices, but they sit further from the beach-and-golf core of Marbella East and, as from-price listings, typically represent smaller units or earlier phases. This property, at a fixed €599,000 for 178 m², works out at roughly €3,365 per square metre, a level consistent with a furnished, licence-holding townhouse within walking reach of Cabopino beach rather than with off-plan apartment stock. Within Marbella East itself, Artola trades on its protected dunes, low-rise urbanisations and the marina at Cabopino, which distinguishes it from denser areas such as Calahonda to the east or central Marbella to the west. The district records 4,399 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market with reasonable liquidity for owners. The tourism infrastructure, 48 hotels and around 12,600 beds, underpins both the rental demand and the seasonal population swing that residents should expect. Median provincial income of €16,450 is of limited direct relevance to this segment, as the local buyer pool is predominantly international. For buyers weighing new-build versus resale, the trade-off is clear: newer specifications and warranties inland versus immediate coastal position, rental licence and turnkey furnishing here.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Artola sits in Marbella East, a low-rise residential zone between the protected dune landscape and the coast. Cabopino Marina is about 0.9 km away in a straight line, while Marbella centre lies roughly 12 km to the west. The immediate area combines quiet residential streets with beach, golf and marina amenities within a two-kilometre radius, including sixteen restaurants and three cafés.
The house provides four bedrooms and three bathrooms across 178 m², suited to family use, extended stays or rental operation. A fully fitted kitchen, air conditioning, guest cloakroom and private garage cover daily practical needs. Communal gardens and a communal pool are included within the maintained community, and the rooftop solarium with barbecue area extends usable outdoor space throughout the year.
This is an existing property completed in 2007, not a new-build development. It is available key-ready and sold fully furnished. The condition is recorded as good. Buyers should treat completion dates for any transfer process as indicative and arrange an independent technical survey, as is standard for a property of this age on the Costa del Sol.
The property has a north-facing orientation, which affects direct sunlight on the main living level. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal only. The garden is likewise communal. Parking is limited to the single private garage space. These are the recorded limitations in the listing data and should be weighed against personal requirements.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family seeking a permanent residence in Marbella East benefits from four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a garage and proximity to international schooling. A second-home buyer wanting a low-maintenance coastal base finds a furnished, turnkey house with communal pool and gardens maintained by the community, so no private pool upkeep applies. An investor targeting the tourist rental market is the third profile: the existing licence, furnished condition and location near Cabopino beach and marina support immediate rental operation, and the stated income range of €30,000 to €35,000 per year, subject to verification, reflects current market conditions in the area. The house suits buyers prioritising outdoor living space, given the solarium and multiple terraces, more than those seeking a large private plot. It fits households comfortable with a north-facing main orientation, where the solarium compensates with open sky and evening light. It is less suited to buyers requiring a private pool, more than one parking space, or a brand-new build with developer guarantees. The 2007 construction means standard due diligence on installations and community finances applies.
The house was completed in 2007 and is recorded as being in good condition. Interior photographs show a living room with fireplace and balcony access, a bedroom with built-in bench and nightstand, two bathrooms, one with a double-sink vanity and mirror, one with bathtub, and an upper hallway with railing and wall art, suggesting a conventional Spanish residential finish rather than a recent designer renovation. The kitchen is fully fitted, and the property is delivered fully furnished, including loose furniture as shown. Climate control consists of air conditioning throughout the recorded specification. Technical elements relevant to buyers of this vintage include the age of the air conditioning units, plumbing, electrical installation and window glazing, none of which is detailed in the data and all of which merit inspection. The rooftop solarium includes a barbecue area, and the covered terrace provides weather-protected outdoor space off the main living level. Parking is a private garage, which offers security and shade for one vehicle. Communal areas, landscaped gardens and the swimming pool, are maintained by the community; the monthly community fee is not stated. Buyers should request the community certificate, maintenance history and any planned works on the building before commitment.
The asking price is fixed at €599,000, following a price reduction from a previous listing level. As an existing home, no from-price applies. The house is sold fully furnished and key-ready, which reduces initial setup costs for buyers intending to use it immediately or place it into tourist rental. The property holds an existing tourist rental licence, with the seller citing estimated annual rental income of €30,000 to €35,000; such projections depend on occupancy and management and should be verified independently. Annual running costs such as community fees, IBI and waste collection are not stated in the data and should be requested separately.
Daily life here follows a coastal residential rhythm. The morning routine can start on the covered terrace off the living area, which opens directly from the dining space, while the rooftop solarium serves as the main outdoor room later in the day, with a barbecue area and open views towards the sea, mountains, countryside and gardens. With an average annual temperature of 18.8°C and a swimming season of roughly five months with water at or above 20°C, outdoor use of the house extends well beyond the summer peak. The gradient to Playa de Cabopino, 0.8 km away as the crow flies, is listed as flat at 1.4%, so the beach is walkable for most residents. The surrounding urbanisation is described as quiet, with the busier activity concentrated around the marina and beachfront. Groceries, pharmacies and banking fall within the two-kilometre amenity set, meaning a car is convenient but not strictly essential for basics. Four public transport lines and forty-eight stops serve the wider area. Outside the tourist season the neighbourhood returns to a predominantly residential character; the 48 hotels and roughly 12,600 beds in the district indicate how much the population swells in summer. For a household combining school-age children with coastal living, the English International College sits 4.5 km away in a straight line, and the broader area records forty-one primary and twenty-eight secondary schools.
The immediate environment is defined by the Artola dunes, a protected natural area, and the coastline between Cabopino and Calahonda. Playa de Cabopino lies 0.8 km away in a straight line, Playa de Calahonda 1.2 km and Playa de Artola 2.1 km, giving three distinct beach options within a short drive or walk. Puerto Cabopino, 0.9 km away, functions as the local social hub with its marina, restaurants and beach chiringuitos. Daily amenities within two kilometres include sixteen restaurants, three cafés, three banks and a pharmacy, which covers routine needs without travelling into Marbella. Healthcare access includes five health centres in the district. For sport, Don Carlos Tennis Club is 2.2 km away, Club del Sol 2.7 km, and a public swimming pool at Camping Marbella Playa 1.4 km. The flat 1.4% gradient to the beach makes cycling and walking practical. Marbella centre is roughly 12 km west, and Málaga city 39 km northeast, both reachable by car along the A-7/N-340 corridor; four bus lines with forty-eight stops provide an alternative, though frequencies are limited outside peak season.
The map shows the property's position in Artola relative to the Cabopino dunes, marina and beach (0.8–0.9 km), the surrounding golf courses and the road corridor linking Marbella (12 km) and Málaga (39 km). All distances shown are straight-line measurements; road distances are somewhat longer.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Artola occupies the eastern edge of Marbella municipality, between the Cabopino marina and the Calahonda urbanisation. Marbella centre lies 12 km to the west, putting its old town, Paseo Marítimo and shopping within a short drive, while Málaga city and its airport sit 39 km and roughly 30 km respectively to the northeast. The position balances coastal accessibility with a quieter, lower-density residential character than central Marbella, and it sits closer to the golf cluster of Marbella East than to the Puerto Banús luxury axis. On the Costa del Sol as a whole, this is a mid-to-upper segment coastal location with year-round amenity coverage.
Distances below are straight-line measurements; actual road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa de Cabopino, is 0.8 km away on a flat 1.4% gradient. Cabopino Golf sits 0.8 km from the property, with Santa María Golf & Country Club at 3.0 km and Greenlife Golf Marbella at 3.3 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 30 km away in a direct line, typically a drive of around half an hour to forty minutes depending on traffic. Gibraltar Airport (GIB) lies about 66 km to the southwest. Marbella is 12 km away and Málaga city 39 km. Public transport consists of four lines with forty-eight stops in the area, serviceable for coastal hops but not comparable with urban frequency; a car is the practical choice for most residents, and the private garage covers secure parking.

Artola lies at 17 metres above sea level, essentially flat relative to the shoreline, so no steep climbs feature in daily routines. The climate data records an average annual temperature of 18.8°C, consistent with the Costa del Sol's mild winters and warm summers, and a swimming season of about five months during which sea temperatures hold at 20°C or above, roughly May through September. The protected Artola dunes sit directly in the vicinity, offering walking routes through native coastal vegetation without leaving the neighbourhood. The property's elevation of the rooftop solarium above the surrounding urbanisation gives open views towards the sea, mountains and countryside, which also increases sun exposure on the upper level despite the north-facing main orientation. Rainfall on this stretch of coast is low and concentrated in the cooler months, meaning outdoor living space remains usable for most of the year.

Three beaches fall within roughly two kilometres: Playa de Cabopino (0.8 km), Playa de Calahonda (1.2 km) and Playa de Artola (2.1 km). Cabopino beach adjoins the dune reserve and the marina, combining sand with restaurant access; Artola beach sits beside the Artola Dunes natural monument, one of the better-preserved dune systems on this coast. Golf is a defining recreation here, Cabopino golf is 0.8 km away, Santa María Golf & Country Club 3.0 km and Greenlife Golf 3.3 km, with La Siesta Golf Club at 2.6 km. Racquet sports are covered by Don Carlos Tennis Club (2.2 km) and Club del Sol (2.7 km). Puerto Cabopino marina, 0.9 km away, provides mooring, waterside dining and a seasonal social scene. The communal pool and gardens within the community itself supply daily swimming and green space without leaving the urbanisation.
