A three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse is for sale in Cabopino, on the eastern edge of Marbella, with a fixed asking price of €595,000. Built in 1970 and in good condition, the property offers 130 m² of living space on a 95 m² plot within a gated, frontline golf community. The home is south facing and includes a communal swimming pool, a private garage with two parking spaces, a private garden, solarium, basement and guest apartment. Distances mentioned are straight-line unless stated otherwise.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in Cabopino, between Marbella (13 km) and Calahonda, at roughly 209 metres above sea level with views over golf courses, countryside and partial sea views. Puerto Cabopino marina lies 3.3 km away, and the nearest beach is 2.5 km as the crow flies, reached via a gradient of about 7.9%, which is steep and worth noting for daily trips on foot.
The house is arranged around three bedrooms, two of them en suite, plus a separate toilet, study, guest apartment and games room. The south orientation supports daylight on the terraces, solarium and garden through the day. Practical features include air conditioning, double glazing, electric blinds, fitted wardrobes, a fully fitted kitchen, fireplace, Wi-Fi and an automatic irrigation system for the garden.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 1970 and is key-ready, described as being in good condition. Renovation history is not documented in the available data, so buyers should verify the actual state of installations and finishes during a viewing. The construction status means the property can be transferred and occupied without waiting for a build phase.
The plot is compact at 95 m², so outdoor space relies on the private garden, covered terrace and solarium rather than extensive grounds. The pool is communal, not private. The property dates from 1970 and carries the technical implications of that construction period. The walk to the beach involves a steep 7.9% gradient, and the house has no lift, as is typical for this type and era of home.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a lock-and-leave second home near golf will find the gated community, communal pool and included garage reduce maintenance responsibility, while the guest apartment allows visiting family or friends to stay independently. Households with regular guests or adult children may value the three bathrooms, two en suite, plus the extra toilet, a layout that limits morning congestion. Buyers who play golf or want it on the doorstep are served by Cabopino golf at 2.6 km, El Soto Golf at 2.4 km and the Par 3 Course at 2.6 km, straight-line distances. Part-year residents will appreciate the fireplace and air conditioning for cooler and warmer months respectively, and the double glazing supports year-round comfort. The property is less suited to buyers who want to walk to the beach daily, given the 2.5 km distance and the steep 7.9% gradient, or those who want a large private garden on a substantial plot, 95 m² is modest. Buyers focused on modern energy performance should note the 1970 construction date and arrange a technical survey. Pet owners are explicitly permitted, which is not always the case in resort communities, and remote workers can use the study and existing Wi-Fi connection. Households needing international schooling have the English International College at 7.0 km, and five health centres operate in the area.
The house is documented as being in good condition, with a finish level consistent with a maintained 1970 property that has been updated over time rather than a contemporary new build. The kitchen is fully fitted and equipped, and the living room has a fireplace, which in this region is often used for the shoulder-season months when evenings cool down. Climate control combines air conditioning with the fireplace, and double glazing with security shutters and electric blinds addresses both insulation and security. Storage and utility features are extensive for the size of the house: a basement, a storage room, a wine cellar and a water tank, the latter a practical reserve in a region where summer water restrictions can occur. Windows are described as glass doors in places, connecting the living spaces with the covered terrace and balcony. The solarium adds an outdoor level with the rooftop views shown in the listing imagery, including sea views framed by pine trees. The guest apartment functions as an independent unit within the property, which has implications for both family use and possible rental scenarios, subject to local licensing rules. Buyers should treat all finish descriptions as indicative and verify the actual condition of the roof, installations and damp proofing during a viewing, as these are the typical cost items in homes of this age. No energy performance certificate details are available in the source data, so an assessment before purchase is advisable for anyone budgeting renovation or running costs.
The asking price is fixed at €595,000 for the property as offered, including the two parking spaces in the private garage and with furniture available as an option. As an existing 1970 townhouse, it is priced against the second-hand market in Cabopino rather than new-build price lists. For context, new-build projects elsewhere on the coast, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, start lower, but those are off-plan apartment products of a different type and location. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status; completion dates do not apply here.
Daily life in this townhouse revolves around a compact, layered layout: living areas with a fireplace and dining room on the main floor, bedrooms above including two en-suite bathrooms, and a basement level with storage, a games room and a self-contained guest apartment. The south orientation means the covered terrace, balcony and solarium receive sun through the middle of the day, which in practice shapes how the household uses the house across seasons. The setting is inside a golf resort, gated and monitored with surveillance cameras and a security entrance, so the immediate environment is quiet and residential rather than urban. The gradient towards the coast means most residents use the car for beach trips; the two private parking spaces in the garage make that straightforward. Local life within 2 km includes 19 restaurants, two cafés, a pharmacy and a bank, which covers everyday needs without driving into Marbella. Sports facilities are close at hand: Finca Naundrup at 0.7 km, Club del Sol at 0.9 km and La Siesta Golf Club at 1.0 km, all measured in a straight line. Outside the summer months the area is noticeably calmer, since much of the surrounding accommodation is tourist-oriented, 52 hotels with around 12,800 beds are registered in the wider area, so the rhythm of the neighbourhood changes with the seasons. For a household that values a secure, low-maintenance base near golf with the coast a short drive away, the property's format matches that use; buyers seeking a walkable beachfront location would need to weigh the 2.5 km distance and the slope.
The immediate surroundings combine resort facilities with residential calm. Within 2 km there are 19 restaurants, two cafés, one pharmacy and one bank, enough for daily needs without driving. The neighbourhood sits inside a golf resort with gated access and surveillance, meaning traffic is limited to residents and guests. Marbella, at 13 km straight-line, is the natural urban reference with around 148,000 inhabitants, while Málaga city lies 39 km away. The train station in Fuengirola is 9.3 km away, and the area is served by four public transport lines with 48 stops, which offers an alternative to the car for some journeys, though most residents drive. Puerto Cabopino at 3.3 km provides a marina with dining and moored boats, a characteristic feature of this stretch of coast. For families, the data lists 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider area, plus the English International College at 7.0 km. Sports access is notably dense: Finca Naundrup at 0.7 km, Club del Sol at 0.9 km and La Siesta Golf Club at 1.0 km. Outside the peak summer weeks the area quietens considerably, as much of the surrounding accommodation is hotel-based and seasonal.
The map shows the property's position on the elevated golf terrain of Cabopino, with the coast 2.5 km to the south and Puerto Cabopino marina just beyond. Marbella lies west and Fuengirola east along the A-7 corridor. Marked distances are straight-line; actual driving routes are longer, particularly given the hilly terrain between the house and the beaches.

Cabopino occupies the eastern edge of Marbella municipality, positioned between the marina that gives the area its name and the extensive Calahonda urbanisation. Marbella centre lies 13 km to the west, Fuengirola 9.3 km to the east along the coast, and Málaga city 39 km away. This places the property in the central Costa del Sol, with equal access to the airport corridor and the Marbella-Estepona golf belt. Compared with Marbella's golden mile or central Fuengirola, Cabopino is lower-density and more resort-oriented, defined by golf courses, pine-covered hills and the small marina rather than high-rise front line development.
Distances below are straight-line; road distances and travel times are longer. The nearest beach, La Luna-Royale Beach, is 2.5 km away, as are the Playa de Calahonda beaches. The gradient from the house to the coast averages 7.9%, steep enough that most residents drive. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is roughly 27 km away, making it the clear arrival airport; Gibraltar is an alternative at about 69 km. Golf is the closest recreation: Cabopino golf at 2.6 km, El Soto Golf at 2.4 km and a Par 3 course at 2.6 km. The marinas of Cabopino (3.3 km) and Fuengirola (9.9 km) frame the coast on either side. Public transport exists, four lines and 48 stops, but as in most of the Costa del Sol, a car remains the practical means of daily mobility, and the included two-space private garage supports that directly.

The house stands at about 209 metres above sea level, elevated enough for the documented golf, country and partial sea views, and it is described as mountainside in setting. The average annual temperature is 17.8°C, a mild coastal Andalusian profile, and the swimming season, when sea water holds at 20°C or above, lasts about four months, roughly June through September. That figure is a useful reality check for anyone picturing year-round sea swimming; spring and autumn are better suited to walking and golf. The elevated position with a 7.9% slope towards the beach means the property catches breezes and enjoys the outlook, at the cost of uphill returns from the coast. The surrounding pine and golf landscape shown in the listing imagery reflects the green character of this part of Marbella's eastern edge. Sun exposure on the south-facing terraces and solarium supports outdoor use for most of the year.

Coastal recreation within easy reach includes three beaches at 2.5 km straight-line, La Luna-Royale and the two Playa de Calahonda sections, sandy family beaches backed by the Calahonda urbanisation. The Blue Flag standard is held locally by Casablanca and El Cable, two beaches in the wider municipality. Golf is the strongest recreational asset here: Cabopino golf at 2.6 km, El Soto Golf at 2.4 km and the Par 3 Course at 2.6 km give three options within a five-minute drive, and the property itself sits frontline to a golf resort. Padel and racquet sports are covered by Club del Sol at 0.9 km, and Finca Naundrup at 0.7 km offers further sports facilities. Puerto Cabopino marina, 3.3 km away, adds waterside dining and boating, while the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas (3.8 km) makes a straightforward excursion. A children's playground is noted close to the property, relevant for visiting families.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this Cabopino townhouse occupies a specific niche: an existing, key-ready home inside a gated golf resort on Marbella's eastern edge, priced at €595,000 as a fixed asking price. Compared with the new-build comparables, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, it costs substantially more per unit, but those projects are off-plan apartments in different submarkets: Torre del Mar and Estepona sit further from the Marbella price band, and Mijas inland locations trade at lower levels than frontline golf terrain in Marbella municipality. What the buyer pays for here is immediacy and position: no construction waiting period, an established community with mature gardens and communal pool, and an address inside a golf resort roughly 13 km from Marbella centre. The offsetting considerations are the 1970 construction date, meaning older building fabric than any of the new-build comparables, and the compact 95 m² plot. Setting matters too: Cabopino combines a small marina, pine hills and three golf courses within 2.6 km, a profile closer to a quiet resort enclave than to the apartment-dense stretches of Fuengirola or Torremolinos. For buyers comparing across the region, the decision largely comes down to whether an established Marbella-adjacent golf location with immediate availability outweighs newer construction further from the coast's central belt. Housing market activity in the area is substantial, with 4,743 transactions per year recorded, indicating a liquid resale market should the buyer later sell. Median provincial income of €16,450 also contextualises the international premium the Marbella coast commands relative to the regional average.
