This two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse is located in Cabopino on the Costa del Sol, between Marbella and Fuengirola. Built in 1985 and now key-ready, the property offers 196 m² of living space within a gated complex with a communal pool and garden, underground parking and a garage. The house is south-facing with sea views, a private terrace and air conditioning. The asking price is fixed at €799,000. Cabopino is a small coastal enclave known for its marina and its position close to several golf courses, with Marbella roughly 13 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in Cabopino, a coastal settlement on the Málaga side of the Costa del Sol. Marbella lies about 13 km away in a straight line and Fuengirola around 9 km, which places the property between two of the coast's main urban centres. Puerto Cabopino is 3.3 km away, and Málaga Airport roughly 27 km as the crow flies. The nearest beaches sit at 2.5 km direct distance, reached via a slope of about 7.9 per cent.
The property combines 196 m² of living space with a private terrace, a fully fitted kitchen and optional furniture, which simplifies both permanent residence and use as a second home. Bedrooms have wooden or marble flooring, and both bathrooms are complete. Communal facilities include a pool and garden, while parking is arranged underground with a private space and garage. Air conditioning and a south-facing orientation support year-round comfort.
This is an existing home, completed in 1985 and currently key-ready. The condition is recorded as good, although neighbouring homes in the complex have carried out improvements such as adding bedrooms, and similar work would be possible here. Any renovation would be the buyer's own initiative and cost. No construction phase applies: the house can be transferred in its present state, with furniture available by negotiation.
The property has two bedrooms rather than three or more, and offers communal rather than private outdoor space, aside from the terrace. It is a resale from 1985, so buyers should expect a building of nearly forty years old, with the renovation potential and considerations that entails. The gradient to the beach is recorded as steep at 7.9 per cent. No lift, private pool or private garden forms part of the listed features.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a lock-and-leave second home benefits from the gated complex, communal maintenance and optional furniture, allowing occasional use without ongoing management burden. A couple planning permanent residence on the Costa del Sol may find that 196 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms offers generous living space per room, along with a practical layout for daily use. Golf players value the concentration of courses nearby: Cabopino golf and El Soto Golf within about 2.4 to 2.6 km, plus La Siesta Golf Club at 1.0 km. Buyers open to renovation can follow the example of neighbours who have added bedrooms, potentially converting the house into a three-bedroom home within the existing footprint. The property suits those who want to be near the coast without paying for a frontline position, accepting the 2.5 km distance and the hillside gradient in exchange for sea views and a quieter residential setting. It is less suitable for buyers needing three or more bedrooms immediately, a private pool, single-level living throughout, or frequent car-free travel, the nearest train station is Fuengirola at 9.3 km straight-line distance. Families with school-age children should note the English International College at 7.0 km, while five health centres serve the surrounding area.
The interior photographs show a traditional Spanish finish typical of 1980s coastal construction. The master bedroom has marble floors, other bedrooms wooden flooring, and the hallway includes built-in cabinetry, providing practical storage. Both bathrooms are functional units, one with a bathtub and tiled walls, the other with characteristic round windows. The kitchen is fully fitted. Climate control consists of air conditioning, and the south-facing orientation supports passive warmth in the cooler months. The condition is recorded as good, but buyers should approach a 1985 building with realistic expectations: insulation standards, window frames and installations from that era generally differ from current new-build norms, and an independent technical survey is the standard step before purchase. The renovation potential is explicitly noted, neighbouring properties have added bedrooms and carried out improvements that would also be possible here, subject to community rules and licensing. Outside, the property relies on communal facilities: a shared pool and communal garden within the gated complex, reducing private maintenance responsibility. Parking is well covered, with underground parking, a garage and a private space listed. A private terrace extends the living area outdoors and, given the south orientation, receives midday and afternoon sun.
The asking price is a fixed €799,000 for the townhouse as it stands, including a fully fitted kitchen, air conditioning, communal pool access, and both underground parking and a garage. Furniture is optional and can be negotiated separately. Because this is an existing home rather than a new-build development, there is no price list of unit types; the price applies to this specific property of 196 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. For context, buyers should note that comparable new-build apartments elsewhere on the coast, Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona, start between roughly €205,000 and €322,000, though these differ in type, age and location. Budget for a resale purchase should also include transfer costs, notary fees and any renovation work the new owner chooses to undertake.
Daily life around this townhouse is shaped by the small scale of Cabopino and its position on the hillside above the coast. The house itself is south-facing, so the private terrace receives sun through the middle of the day, with sea views across the Mediterranean. Mornings can begin on the terrace, and the communal garden and pool provide outdoor space without private maintenance obligations. Within about 2 km there are 19 restaurants, two cafés, a pharmacy and a bank, meaning most day-to-day needs are covered without driving far. The area is tourist-oriented, 52 hotels and nearly 13,000 beds are registered nearby, so the rhythm shifts noticeably between the summer months, when restaurants and beaches are busy, and the quieter winter season, when many facilities remain open but the pace slows. The house sits at roughly 209 m above sea level, which explains both the sea views and the 7.9 per cent gradient on the route down to the beach at 2.5 km straight-line distance; in practice this means a short drive or a walk with a return climb. Puerto Cabopino, 3.3 km away, functions as the local social anchor with its marina and waterside dining. For sports, Finca Naundrup (0.7 km), Club del Sol (0.9 km) and La Siesta Golf Club (1.0 km) are all within walking or short driving range. Four public transport lines and 48 stops serve the wider area, but a car remains the practical choice for reaching Marbella, Fuengirola and the airport.
The surroundings mix residential calm with a strong seasonal tourist layer. Within 2 km, the count of 19 restaurants, two cafés, one pharmacy and one bank indicates that dining out is easier here than daily grocery logistics, for which a short drive to Calahonda or La Cala de Mijas is the usual route, La Cala de Mijas viewpoint is 3.8 km away. The tourism register of 52 hotels and 12,781 beds shows how the population swells in summer; outside the high season the same infrastructure remains, with shorter queues. Education is well represented at regional level, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, and the English International College 7.0 km away for international schooling. Healthcare access includes five health centres in the surrounding area. Housing market activity is substantial at 4,743 transactions per year in the region, which supports liquidity for resale. The property's position at 209 m elevation gives it sea views but also the 7.9 per cent gradient to the beach, worth factoring in for anyone with mobility considerations or young children. Public transport exists (four lines, 48 stops), but for Marbella at 13 km or Fuengirola at 9.9 km straight-line, a car remains the practical mode.
The map shows the house in its hillside setting above the Cabopino coast, with the marina, the beaches at 2.5 km and the golf cluster within a narrow radius. Marbella and Fuengirola frame the area to the west and east. All distances shown are straight-line measurements; actual road routes are longer.

Cabopino occupies a transitional position on the Costa del Sol: east of Marbella (13 km), west of Calahonda and La Cala de Mijas, and roughly 39 km from Málaga city. It is one of the smaller coastal enclaves between the two anchors of the region, known mainly for its marina, its dune-backed beach and the golf courses on the inland side of the coast road. This places the property in a quieter bracket than central Marbella or Fuengirola while keeping both within a short drive, and about 27 km straight-line from Málaga Airport, the main international gateway to the coast.
By car, the property connects via the A-7 and AP-7 coastal corridors: Marbella is 13 km away in a straight line, Málaga city 39 km, and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport approximately 27 km as the crow flies, road distances and times are longer. Gibraltar Airport sits 69 km straight-line away to the west, an alternative for some international routes. The nearest beaches, La Luna-Royale, Playa de Calahonda Riviera and Playa de Calahonda, are all 2.5 km direct distance from the house, with Puerto Cabopino marina at 3.3 km and Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 9.9 km. Golf is unusually close: El Soto Golf at 2.4 km, Cabopino golf and a par-3 course at 2.6 km, and La Siesta Golf Club at 1.0 km. Train access is limited, the station at Fuengirola is 9.3 km straight-line away, so the four local bus lines and 48 stops mainly serve coastal hops rather than regional commuting. Underground parking and a garage on site make car ownership straightforward.

The climate data points to a typical Mediterranean profile: an average annual temperature of 17.8 °C and a swimming season of about four months during which sea water reaches 20 °C or more, roughly June through September. At 209 m elevation on a hillside, the house benefits from slightly cooler evenings than the immediate waterfront while keeping its sea views. The 7.9 per cent gradient to the coast is the main physical characteristic of the terrain, manageable on foot for most, but a daily consideration. Sunshine hours along this stretch of the Costa del Sol support outdoor use of the terrace and communal pool across most of the year, and the south-facing orientation maximises exposure during the shorter winter days. Rainfall is concentrated in the winter half-year, as is normal for southern Spain. The 32 local public holidays per year reflect Andalusia's full festive calendar, which shapes the rhythm of local life, from ferias to neighbourhood celebrations in Marbella and the surrounding villages.

Beach life is centred on the sandy stretches at 2.5 km straight-line distance: La Luna-Royale Beach and the two Playa de Calahonda sections. The nearest Blue Flag beaches, Casablanca and El Cable, are located along the Marbella, Fuengirola coast, two of the standard bearers for water quality in the area. Puerto Cabopino, 3.3 km away, adds a marina with moorings and waterfront restaurants, and the larger marina at Fuengirola is 9.9 km distant. Golf is the second recreational pillar: Cabopino golf (2.6 km), El Soto Golf (2.4 km), a par-3 course (2.6 km) and La Siesta Golf Club (1.0 km) form a dense cluster, with the well-known courses of Marbella within easy driving range. For land-based sport, Finca Naundrup (0.7 km) and Club del Sol (0.9 km) are the nearest centres. Walkers can reach the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas at 3.8 km, and the coastal path network between Marbella and Fuengirola passes through the area, supporting walking and cycling directly from the house.

Within the Costa del Sol resale market, this townhouse occupies a specific niche: an older, larger property close to the water in a small coastal enclave. Compared with new-build alternatives in the region, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) or Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,950), the €799,000 asking price reflects the value of location and plot rather than modern construction. Those newer projects offer contemporary specifications and warranties at lower entry prices, but generally further from the coast, with apartment living rather than a townhouse with a terrace, garage and communal pool in an established gated community. Buyers comparing the options are effectively weighing 1980s construction with renovation potential against turnkey new builds inland. Cabopino itself sits in the mid-range of the Marbella municipal stretch: less expensive than frontline Marbella or Puerto Banús, more oriented to residential tourism than the large-scale urbanisations of Calahonda to the east. The regional market records 4,743 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale environment, and the concentration of 52 hotels nearby confirms the area's enduring demand from visitors, relevant for anyone considering rental use of the property. With Marbella 13 km west and Fuengirola 9.3 km to the train station east, the position is genuinely between the two, which broadens the practical catchment for shopping, healthcare and schools, including the English International College at 7.0 km. The elevation of 209 m is a distinguishing feature: it delivers the sea views buyers associate with this stretch of coast, at the cost of the steep walk or drive down to the beach.
