This semi-detached house stands in Artola, Cabopino, in the eastern part of Marbella, within an established residential community bordering the Cabopino Golf Course. Built in 2006 and completed to key-ready standard, the property offers approximately 245 m² of built space on a 265 m² private plot, with a southwest and west orientation that provides afternoon and evening sun together with sea views from the terraces. The home currently has two large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a self-contained ground-floor study with its own toilet and kitchen, a private garage for two vehicles, and additional storage space. The asking price is fixed at €890,000.
Within the wider Málaga coastal market, this property occupies a mid-to-upper segment. At a fixed asking price of €890,000 for 245 m² of built area, it is priced per square metre well above the regional comparables of Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €279,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), though those figures are new-build starting prices rather than completed homes, so the comparison is indicative rather than exact. The premium reflects three factors: location within Marbella municipality, where market activity of 4,743 transactions per year indicates sustained demand; the established character of Artola, Cabopino, with its golf, dune and marina setting; and the sheer size of the house, which at 245 m² substantially exceeds the typical new-build apartment in the comparable projects. A buyer weighing this property against new-build alternatives trades developer warranties and modern energy standards for space, a large plot and a mature residential environment. Against other Marbella East locations, Cabopino is lower-density than the tower zones of Riviera del Sol and Calahonda to the east, and considerably more affordable than the beachfront strips of central Marbella 13 km to the west. The documented potential to add one or two bedrooms gives the property an internal expansion route that new-build apartments cannot offer. On the cost side, buyers should note that renovation works, should they pursue the conversion, sit outside the asking price, and that recurring local costs are not included in the published data. Employment and income context places the provincial median at €16,450 per year, underlining that this segment of the market is driven largely by international and second-home buyers rather than local incomes.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in Artola, Cabopino, roughly 13 km as the crow flies from central Marbella and about 39 km from Málaga. It sits next to Cabopino Golf, with Cabopino Marina approximately 3.3 km away in a straight line. The nearest beach, La Luna-Royale, lies 2.5 km away by direct distance, with the gradient from the house to the sea measured at 7.9 per cent, which is steep.
The house suits buyers seeking space and flexibility in a residential setting. Two en-suite bedrooms offer privacy, while the independent ground-floor study with toilet and kitchen can serve as a guest suite, home office or self-contained living area. The terraces and layout allow for the creation of one or two additional bedrooms, and the plot and garage for two vehicles provide practical capacity for a family or for year-round and seasonal use.
This is not a new-build development. The house was completed in 2006 and is described as being in good condition and key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. Any adaptation, such as converting terraces or the study into additional bedrooms, would be a renovation project for the buyer to plan and permit separately. Completion dates and work schedules for such modifications are indicative until confirmed with contractors and the local authority.
The property offers three bedrooms registered, though currently configured as two large en-suite bedrooms plus a study area. There is no swimming pool listed among the features, and no garden size beyond the 265 m² plot is specified. The steep 7.9 per cent gradient to the beach means walking to the sea involves a notable incline. No information is available on energy performance or community fees in the provided data, and buyers should verify these independently.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family that has outgrown a two-bedroom apartment but wants to stay in Marbella East will find the en-suite configuration and the documented potential to add one or two bedrooms directly relevant, since the terraces and layout are described as suitable for conversion. Buyers planning multi-generational living can use the ground-floor study with its own toilet and kitchen as an independent area for parents or adult children, keeping the upper floor private for the main household. Those who work remotely for part of the year gain a dedicated office space that can be closed off from the rest of the house. Golfers and Marina visitors benefit from the position next to Cabopino Golf and roughly 3.3 km from Puerto Cabopino. Buyers seeking a holiday home with strong rental logic also match this profile: two en-suite bedrooms plus a self-contained studio-style space allow flexible guest arrangements, and the surrounding area shows growth, with new apartment and villa developments noted around Artola. The property is less obvious for buyers who want a walk-everywhere coastal location, the beach is 2.5 km away in a straight line with a steep gradient, or who require an on-site pool, which is not listed in the features. Equally, buyers wanting brand-new construction with developer warranties should look at new-build alternatives, since this house dates from 2006. For a household with one or two cars, the garage holds two vehicles, and a preference for space, views and golf-side calm over immediate beachfront access, the configuration aligns well.
The house was completed in 2006 and is presented in good condition, with the photographic record showing an interior that has been maintained and partly modernised. The kitchen is fitted with marble tiles and appears in the images as a contemporary installation with integrated units. The bathrooms include a modern suite with a walk-in shower, wall-hung basin and toilet. The main living space is laid out as an open-plan living and dining area connected to the kitchen, which suits both everyday use and entertaining. Bedrooms are equipped with fitted wardrobes, listed among the confirmed features, which adds usable storage without taking floor space. Climate control is covered by air conditioning with both hot and cold functions, allowing year-round temperature regulation. Views are documented in several directions: sea views, panoramic views, garden views and street views, reflecting the corner position and the terraces on different sides of the house. The orientation is southwest and west, so the principal outdoor spaces receive afternoon and evening sun. Externally, the property benefits from a private garage for two vehicles and separate storage space. As with any property of this age, buyers should arrange a technical survey to assess the condition of the roof, installations and any terrace waterproofing, particularly relevant here because the terraces form part of the conversion potential described in the listing. The information available does not include an energy performance certificate or details of recent system upgrades, and these points should be verified during due diligence rather than assumed.
The asking price is fixed at €890,000 for the complete property. This is an existing home completed in 2006, not a new-build project with a price list, so there is a single asking price rather than a range of unit prices. The property includes the 265 m² plot, the 245 m² of built area, the private garage for two vehicles and the additional storage space. Buyers comparing costs should budget separately for any conversion of the study or terraces into additional bedrooms, for which no cost estimate is included in the available data. Recurring costs such as community fees, IBI and waste collection are not stated in the source material and should be requested during the enquiry process. Availability is immediate in principle, as the house is key-ready and in good condition.
Daily life in this Artola residence centres on space, light and the rhythm of an established golf-side urbanisation. The southwest and west orientation means the main terraces receive sun through the afternoon, with the layout described as offering sea views and sunsets from the upper outdoor areas. Mornings can begin on the ground floor, where the open-plan living and dining area connects to the kitchen; photographs show a modern kitchen with marble tiles and a contemporary bathroom with a walk-in shower. The two principal bedrooms each have an en-suite bathroom, which reduces competition for facilities during busy holiday periods. The ground-floor study, with its own toilet and kitchen, works as a home office on ordinary weekdays, a guest suite when visitors stay, or an independent living area for relatives who need their own space. The size of the house, 245 m² built on a 265 m² plot, leaves generous terraces, and the layout is documented as allowing the creation of one or two additional bedrooms, which is relevant for households expecting to grow. Outside the front door, the setting is defined by Cabopino Golf next to the community, the Artola dunes and their natural beaches roughly 1.5 km away, and Cabopino Marina about 3.3 km away in a straight line. Within 2 km there are 19 restaurants, two cafés, a pharmacy and a bank, so day-to-day essentials are reachable without driving into Marbella. The nearest beach is 2.5 km by direct distance, walkable in around 25 minutes according to the seller's description, though the 7.9 per cent gradient makes the return journey uphill. A car remains the practical mode of transport for most journeys; the train station in Fuengirola is 9.3 km away as the crow flies.
The Artola, Cabopino area functions as a residential zone on the eastern side of Marbella, combining an established urbanisation with golf and natural coastal features. Within 2 km of the property, the data lists 19 restaurants, two cafés, one pharmacy and one bank, a level of supply that covers daily needs while keeping the immediate street quiet. For sport, three centres lie within about a kilometre: 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. Healthcare access is reasonable, with five health centres recorded in the wider area, and education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, with the English International College at 7.0 km for families seeking international schooling. The tourism infrastructure is substantial, 52 hotels and 12,781 beds in the region, which signals a busy summer season and a quieter winter, a pattern typical of the Costa del Sol. Public transport exists, with four lines and 48 stops recorded, but the nearest train station is Fuengirola at 9.3 km as the crow flies, so most residents rely on a car. The property's own garage for two vehicles supports that pattern. Marbella, at 13 km direct distance, is the natural urban centre for shopping, culture and services, while the surrounding residential growth, new luxury apartments and villas noted in the area, indicates sustained investment interest in the neighbourhood.
The map shows the property in Artola, Cabopino, on Marbella's eastern side. Note the position between Cabopino Golf and the coast: the beach lies 2.5 km away in a straight line with a steep gradient, Marbella is 13 km to the west and Málaga airport roughly 27 km to the northeast. All distances are direct, as the crow flies.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cabopino occupies a specific niche on the Costa del Sol: the easternmost coastal corner of Marbella, positioned between the calibre of Marbella itself (13 km away, 147,958 inhabitants) and the more everyday resort towns of Mijas Costa and Fuengirola. It is 39 km in a straight line from Málaga city and 74 km from Algeciras, placing it centrally on the coast's western half. The area combines a protected dune landscape, a small marina and a golf course, a lower-density profile than the tower-lined sections of the coast further east. Regional market activity is significant, with 4,743 housing transactions per year recorded, and the surrounding new developments indicate that the neighbourhood sits within an active investment zone.
Distances in this section are straight-line measurements; actual road distances are longer. The nearest beach, La Luna-Royale, and the Calahonda beaches lie 2.5 km away by direct distance, reachable by car in about four minutes according to the seller's description, with the walk taking around 25 minutes and the 7.9 per cent gradient making it steep in parts. Cabopino Marina is 3.3 km away, and Fuengirola's marina 9.9 km. Golf options cluster nearby: Cabopino Golf adjoins the property, with El Soto Golf at 2.4 km and a par-3 course at 2.6 km. Marbella is 13 km away as the crow flies and Málaga city 39 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 27 km in a straight line, making flights straightforward for international owners; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at roughly 69 km. Public transport consists of four lines with 48 stops in the area, though the rail connection at Fuengirola, 9.3 km away, is not within walking distance, so a car is the practical choice for most journeys.

The property sits at 209 m above sea level, which explains both the sea views and the 7.9 per cent gradient down to the beach. The elevation gives the terraces an open outlook over the coastline while requiring some uphill walking on the return from the sea. The climate data records an average annual temperature of 17.8 °C, typical of the Mediterranean coast, with mild winters and warm summers. The swimming season is measured at four months with sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, concentrating beach activity between roughly June and September. The standout natural feature nearby is the Artola dune system, a protected natural area with beaches described in the source material as among the finest natural beaches in Marbella, located about 1.5 km from the house. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.8 km away, offers an additional leisure destination. For residents, this combination means a climate suited to outdoor living for most of the year, a genuine natural landscape on the doorstep rather than a purely built-up coastline, and a house orientation, southwest and west, that captures the warm afternoon and evening light.

Coastal recreation around Cabopino is well served. The nearest beaches, La Luna-Royale and the Playa de Calahonda stretches, lie 2.5 km away in a straight line, and the Artola dunes with their associated beaches are about 1.5 km from the property, hosting beach restaurants, chiringuitos, beach clubs and water sports facilities according to the listing. The region records two Blue Flag beaches, Casablanca and El Cable, indicating certified water quality and services. Golf is a defining feature of the location: Cabopino Golf sits next to the community, El Soto Golf is 2.4 km away and a par-3 course 2.6 km, with La Siiesta Golf Club at 1.0 km. Two marinas are within easy reach, Puerto Cabopino at 3.3 km and Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 9.9 km, providing berths, dining and waterfront walks. Sports centres at Finca Naundrup (0.7 km) and Club del Sol (0.9 km) round out the offering. For walkers, the viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.8 km away, marks the start of coastal paths towards the west. The four-month swimming season structures the year: intense beach use in summer, and golf, walking and terrace living in the milder months.
