This four-bedroom townhouse in Marbella offers 270 m² of living space on a 1,050 m² private plot in an established residential area of Marbella East. Built in 1970 and available key-ready, the property is spread across three floors plus a basement and includes a private swimming pool, mature garden, and terraces with sea views. The asking price is a fixed €1,100,000. Distances are measured as the crow flies: the nearest beach lies roughly one kilometre away, the supermarket 234 metres, and Málaga Airport 39 kilometres. The surrounding urban environment places daily amenities, healthcare and sports facilities within walking or cycling distance.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in El Rosario, an established residential development in Marbella East characterised by detached villas and a gated setting with 24-hour security. The area combines tranquillity with a practical connection to Marbella town centre and nearby beaches such as Las Chapas. A supermarket sits 234 metres away and the nearest pharmacy 8 metres, meaning basic errands require no car.
The layout serves households needing space and flexibility: four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a living-dining room opening onto a sea-facing terrace, and a covered upper terrace overlooking the garden. Three floors plus a basement allow separation of sleeping and living zones. The 1,050 m² plot offers room to extend the house or add a garage, gym or guest quarters.
This is not new construction. The house was completed in 1970 and is available immediately in key-ready condition. Buyers should treat the delivery status as factual but the 1970 completion date as an indication of the building's era; the property is commonly viewed as a renovation candidate rather than a turnkey modern home.
The property does not offer new-build specifications, modern energy performance documentation, or a contemporary developer finish. No garage is currently included, and the 1970 construction means installations, insulation and layout reflect their period unless updated. Renovation costs are not part of the asking price and must be budgeted separately by the buyer.

Several recognisable situations fit this property. A family relocating to Marbella permanently benefits from four bedrooms, four bathrooms, walking-distance schooling options, 41 primary and 28 secondary schools operate in the municipality, and a hospital 996 metres away. A buyer with renovation ambitions can treat the house as a base to be modernised room by room while living in it, using the plot's space to add a garage or guest quarters later. Households wanting a second home near the sea will appreciate the roughly one-kilometre distance to the beach and the enclosed setting when the house sits empty. Investors evaluating the Marbella East market may see value in the land component: a 1,050 m² plot in an established area near the coast. The property fits less well for buyers seeking a brand-new turnkey home with modern energy performance, or those wanting a lock-up-and-leave apartment with community services, since this house demands ongoing maintenance of a pool, garden and a building from 1970. Buyers relying on public transport will find eleven bus lines and fifty stops in the municipality, though a car remains the practical choice for regional trips.
The house dates from 1970 and its construction and finishing reflect that era. The existing layout includes built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms on the main floor, a fully equipped kitchen and an open-plan kitchen upstairs. The images show a mix of conditions: an open-plan living-dining-kitchen space, a family room with deck access, a bedroom with balcony and tropical view, and an unfinished basement area with patio and pool. This variety indicates that parts of the house are presentable while other parts, notably the basement, remain in a raw state. Buyers should assess the technical systems independently: electrical wiring, plumbing, insulation and glazing from the 1970s typically require updating to meet modern comfort and efficiency expectations. No energy performance documentation or cadastral details are reproduced here. The structural opportunity lies in the volume and the plot: 270 m² of living space over three floors plus basement on 1,050 m² of land leaves room for a garage, gym or guest quarters, as the existing description confirms. Renovation budgets should be established with local architects before purchase, and any extension plans verified against municipal building regulations for Marbella. In short, the value sits in location and land rather than in contemporary finish levels.
The asking price is a fixed €1,100,000 for the existing house; it is not a 'from' price and there is no price list of variants. The property is key-ready and can be transferred without waiting for construction. Within its market segment, this positions the house below new-build comparables such as Royal River in Marbella (from €1,200,000) and above Salvia (from €945,000) and Isla Bela (from €785,000). Buyers comparing budgets should note that the 1970 building stock may require renovation investment on top of the purchase price, and that plot size of 1,050 m² with a private pool is a distinguishing factor at this price level in Marbella East.
Daily life at this address is shaped by the contrast between a quiet, enclosed residential street and an urban environment with everything within reach. The main floor works as the social heart: a living-dining room connects directly to a terrace oriented towards the sea, and the kitchen sits alongside two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and two en-suite bathrooms. The upper floor repeats a similar arrangement with an open-plan kitchen and a second covered terrace above the garden. Mornings can start with a short walk to the bakery or supermarket 234 metres away; the pharmacy is effectively next door at 8 metres. The private pool and mature garden form the outdoor core of the property, with green space that can be divided into separate settings for dining, sunbathing or play. The flat gradient of roughly 1.4% towards the beach makes walking and cycling realistic options rather than gestures. Playa de la Bajadilla lies about a kilometre away as the crow flies, and the marina at Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen is half a kilometre further along the same direction, useful for evening walks or boat trips. The basement adds storage or hobby space. In practice, this is a house for a household that wants outdoor space, proximity to the sea, and the option to reconfigure the property over time rather than move again.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with genuine urban density. Within two kilometres, the area intelligence counts 137 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks, 25 cafés and 3 dentists, an amenity base that makes daily life largely walkable. The supermarket 234 metres away and the pharmacy at 8 metres from the property mean that routine errands take minutes on foot. Healthcare is covered by a hospital at 996 metres and five health centres across the municipality. Sports facilities are unusually close: Polideportivo Francisco Norte at 200 metres, Polideportivo Riohuelo at 400 metres and the Supera Miraflores sports centre with swimming pool at 600 metres. Public swimming options include the municipal pool 1.1 kilometres away. For households with children, the British International School lies 2.2 kilometres away and the English International College 8.2 kilometres. Marbella's old town, with its restaurants and cultural life, is a short drive along the coast. The area supports 415 sports facilities in total and eleven public transport lines with fifty stops, giving residents alternatives to the car for local trips. Seasonal tourism exists, the municipality hosts 52 hotels with nearly 12,800 beds, but the residential streets of El Rosario remain comparatively quiet outside peak weeks.

Marbella is the administrative heart of the western Costa del Sol, seat of the Association of Municipalities of the region, with 159,786 inhabitants registered in 2025. The property's position in Marbella East places it between the town centre and the golf valley of Nueva Andalucía, roughly 40 minutes from Málaga Airport and an hour from Gibraltar. Within the region, the town competes with Málaga city itself (47 km) for scale, while offering a more resort-oriented profile: golf, marinas, international schools and a large stock of villas. Annual housing transactions of 4,743 indicate an active resale market, relevant for future liquidity.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer. The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, lies about 1.0 kilometre away, with Playa de Casablanca at 2.1 kilometres and Playa de la Fontanilla at 2.9 kilometres. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 39 kilometres away, a drive of roughly half an hour on the A-7; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at 58 kilometres.

Electric-vehicle charging is available 2.1 kilometres away, with a Supercharger at 3.3 kilometres. Marbella's marinas, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen at 0.5 kilometres, Marina la Bajadilla at 1.2 kilometres, add mooring and dining options. Málaga city, at 47 kilometres, connects the region to the provincial capital's cultural and transport infrastructure. Within the neighbourhood itself, a car is convenient but not strictly necessary for daily needs.

Marbella's climate is one of its defining assets: the average annual temperature is 19.1°C, with monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months. The town sits at roughly 31 metres above sea level, and the gradient from the property towards the beach is a flat 1.4%, so no steep climbs separate the house from the coast. The coastal position tempers summer heat and softens winter temperatures compared with inland Andalusia. Surrounding greenery, the mature garden of the plot itself plus the villas and natural areas of El Rosario, contributes shade and a degree of privacy. The nearby Mirador de los Gitanos viewpoint at 3.3 kilometres offers walking destinations in the hills behind the coast. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches from late spring through autumn that suit outdoor living around the pool and terraces.

Within Marbella, this townhouse occupies a distinct position relative to current new-build offerings. Royal River, a contemporary luxury development, starts at €1,200,000; Salvia starts at €945,000 and Isla Bela at €785,000. Those projects sell modern finishes, developer warranties and communal facilities, typically with smaller plots. This property inverts that equation: for a fixed €1,100,000 the buyer acquires 1,050 m² of private land with a pool and mature garden, but a 1970 building that will likely need renovation investment. The comparison therefore depends on what the buyer values, turnkey modernity versus land, privacy and the freedom to design the house over time. Locationally, El Rosario sits in established Marbella East, near the beaches of Las Chapas and the golf courses of the valley (Los Naranjos at 6.0 km, Las Brisas at 7.2 km, Aloha at 6.8 km), with 24-hour security within a gated setting. Newer developments often sit further from the historic centre or in denser coastal blocks; here the town centre, marinas and old town are within a short drive, and daily amenities are on foot. Regionally, Marbella's market depth, 4,743 annual transactions, 52 hotels, international schools and a permanent population of nearly 160,000, provides liquidity and rental demand that smaller Costa del Sol towns cannot match. Against Málaga city (47 km), Marbella trades urban scale for a resort profile. Buyers weighing resale value should note that land value in established Marbella East areas has historically been resilient, while the condition of a 1970 structure determines much of the short-term value equation.
