This 240 m² townhouse is located in Villas & Golf, a residential development in Guadalmina Alta, west of San Pedro de Alcántara on the Costa del Sol. Built in 2004 and now key-ready, the property offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms across two floors. The asking price is €869,000. The development includes communal gardens, a swimming pool and 24-hour security, and sits within a golf-oriented residential belt roughly 2.3 km from the nearest beaches, as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Guadalmina Alta is an established residential area between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, surrounded by golf courses including El Campanario at 1.7 km and El Paraíso at 2.6 km straight-line. Marbella lies 11 km away, while beaches such as Playa Atalaya are 2.3 km from the property. The setting is suburban, with the Sierra mountain backdrop visible from the terraces.
The house is arranged for family use: one bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor, three double bedrooms upstairs, one with en-suite facilities and a walk-in wardrobe. A covered terrace, air conditioning for hot and cold use, a fireplace and a private garage space support year-round living. Mountain and garden views are present from the property.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 2004 and is offered in key-ready condition, described by the seller as in good to excellent condition. No construction phases, payment plans or delivery schedules apply. Purchase means transfer of an existing, completed home, which allows inspection of the actual construction and finishes before commitment.
The property has no private swimming pool; pool facilities within Villas & Golf are communal, including a children's pool. There is one garage space, not a multi-car garage. The house is east- and west-facing, so direct sunlight varies across the day. Distances to beaches and amenities are given as straight-line figures; actual travel by road is longer.

Several buyer profiles align with what this property offers. A family relocating to the coast year-round benefits from the four-bedroom layout, the ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, and the proximity of two schools within 2 km, including The International School of Estepona at 2.6 km straight-line distance. The 24-hour security and communal pool suit households that want managed outside space without private pool maintenance. Golf-focused buyers find El Campanario at 1.7 km and El Paraíso at 2.6 km, with further courses along the corridor towards Estepona. Buyers prioritising walkable beach access should note the 2.3 km straight-line distance to Playa Atalaya, reachable, but usually by car or bicycle rather than a stroll in swimwear. The property also fits buyers of a second home who want an established, completed property they can inspect fully before purchase, without the delivery risk of off-plan construction. It is less suited to buyers seeking a private pool, a new-build energy standard, or a central Marbella town setting, the nearest major town centre is 11 km away in Marbella. Households needing more than one parking space should also verify whether additional parking can be arranged.
The house dates from 2004, which places it in the era of solid Andalusian coastal construction: cavity walls, terracotta or marble flooring typical of the period, and a layout generous by later standards, 240 m² across two floors for four bedrooms is spacious relative to contemporary townhouse builds in the region. Climate control is present in the form of air conditioning units providing both hot and cold air, supplemented by a fireplace. This combination reflects the practical reality of the local climate: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, so heating is genuinely needed in the cooler months, not only cooling in summer. Condition is reported as good to excellent, and the property is described as key-ready, meaning no renovation works are assumed necessary. Buyers should nonetheless apply standard diligence to a 20-year-old home: the age of the air conditioning units, boiler, kitchen appliances and window seals are the usual points of attention in properties of this vintage. The presence of a walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom and independent kitchen indicates a finish level aimed at the mid-to-upper residential market rather than a basic rental specification. A covered terrace extends usable outdoor space beyond the warm months.
The asking price is fixed at €869,000 for the complete property, a 240 m² townhouse with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, terraces and one garage space in Villas & Golf. This is an existing home completed in 2004, not a new-build with a price list, so there is no range of unit prices; the figure applies to this specific house. The seller indicates that offers are welcome. For context, the provincial median income of €16,450 and roughly 800 housing transactions per year in the local market frame this as a transaction in the upper segment of the area's residential stock.
Daily life in Villas & Golf follows the rhythm of a low-density residential development on the western edge of the Marbella municipality. The house stands in an urbanisation with communal gardens and a shared pool, staffed with 24-hour security, which shapes a quiet environment where the loudest sounds tend to come from the surrounding greenery and, occasionally, golf course activity nearby. Inside, the layout divides the home functionally. The ground floor holds the living room with direct terrace access, an independent kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, a configuration that suits households wanting ground-floor sleeping space or guest accommodation. The first floor concentrates three double bedrooms around the master suite with its en-suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and private terrace. Morning light reaches one side of the house, evening sun the other, given the east-west orientation. The immediate area is amenity-rich for a suburban setting. Within 2 km there are 31 restaurants, 14 cafés, 12 pharmacies, 11 banks and two schools, meaning routine errands do not require a trip into Marbella itself. The terrain towards the beach is essentially flat, with an average gradient of 1.7%, which matters for cycling and walking. A car remains the practical mode for most journeys: the beach lies 2.3 km as the crow flies, and public transport, while present with 8 lines and 50 stops in the wider area, serves this stretch of coast at a frequency geared more towards commuters than spontaneous outings.
Guadalmina Alta sits in the golf corridor between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, one of the most established residential stretches of the western Costa del Sol. The environment is suburban and green, with the development itself bordered by courses and, per the listing data, forest nearby. Elevation is low at 41 m above sea level, and the route to the coast descends at a gentle average gradient of 1.7%, effectively flat terrain for practical purposes. The density of daily amenities within 2 km is notable for a suburban address: 31 restaurants, 14 cafés, 12 pharmacies, 11 banks and two schools. This reflects the mature character of the Guadalmina and Atalaya commercial strip, which developed alongside the residential areas rather than after them. Sports facilities are close at hand, with the Apolo sports centre 1.0 km away and the Middle Pool and Top Pool facilities at 1.4 km. For wider recreation, Puerto Deportivo José Banús marina lies 4.9 km straight-line. Public transport coverage exists, 8 lines and 50 stops, though most residents rely on a car for beach visits, shopping and airport transfers.
The map shows the property's position in Guadalmina Alta, between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona on the western Costa del Sol. Golf courses sit closest to the pin, the beach strip lies 2.3 km south, and Marbella's centre sits 11 km east along the coast road, the classic layout of this green residential corridor.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Guadalmina Alta occupies a position on the western flank of the Marbella municipality, closer to Estepona's sphere of amenities than to Marbella's old town, which lies 11 km straight-line to the east. Algeciras (55 km) and Málaga city (59 km) frame the wider region at either end. The area is part of the continuous golf-and-residential corridor that runs from San Pedro de Alcántara towards Estepona, a stretch known for mature urbanisations, international schools and year-round occupancy rather than seasonal tourism concentration. For buyers mapping the Costa del Sol, this location trades Marbella-centre proximity for space, greenery and lower density.
Key distances, measured as the crow flies: the nearest beaches, Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro, all lie 2.3 km away; Marbella is 11 km; the José Banús marina 4.9 km. Golf is the closest category of all: El Campanario at 1.7 km, El Paraíso Club at 2.6 km and its clubhouse at 2.7 km. Supercharger charging stations for electric vehicles are available at 5.6 km (Estepona) and 7.7 km (Marbella). Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar (GIB) at roughly 48 km and Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at roughly 50 km straight-line. Road distances are longer, and AGP is generally the practical choice given its far wider route network. By car, access runs via the A-7 coastal road or the AP-7 toll motorway, both of which pass the Guadalmina corridor. Public transport exists with 8 lines and 50 stops in the area, but a car remains the standard means of transport for daily life here.

The climate data points to a typical western Costa del Sol profile: an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, with monthly averages running from 12°C in the coolest month to 26°C in the warmest. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly June through October, which is a key seasonal marker for how intensively the beaches and pools get used. At 41 m elevation on essentially flat terrain, the property avoids the hillside access issues common further inland. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler half of the year, leaving long dry summers, the reason air conditioning is standard equipment here. Nature access includes forest nearby, per the listing, and several viewpoints within 5 km, including Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.3 km. The mountain views from the terraces are a consequence of the Sierra foothills rising directly behind this coastal plain.

Three beaches lie at an equal 2.3 km straight-line distance: Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro. This stretch of coast offers sandy family beaches with chiringuitos, and the flat 1.7% gradient makes the route cyclable. Actual road distance is somewhat longer than the straight-line figure. Golf is the dominant recreation in the immediate area: El Campanario at 1.7 km and El Paraíso Golf Club at 2.6 km, with the clubhouse at 2.7 km, put two courses within a five-minute drive. For organised sport, the Apolo sports centre sits 1.0 km away, with pool facilities at 1.4 km. The communal pool and children's pool inside Villas & Golf cover daily swimming without leaving the development. Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 4.9 km adds marina-based leisure, dining and boat access to the recreational mix.

Within the western Costa del Sol, this property competes in a different segment from new-build developments further along the coast. The comparable projects listed, Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000), are new constructions in the eastern and central Costa del Sol, priced per unit from considerably lower entry points. The €869,000 asking price here reflects three factors those projects do not combine: an established Marbella-municipality address, a 240 m² plot-independent home with four bedrooms, and the Villas & Golf setting with 24-hour security. Buyers weighing this townhouse against new-build alternatives are effectively comparing a completed, inspectable 2004 property in a prime western location against off-plan or recent units in less established areas at lower prices. The trade-offs run in both directions: new builds offer current construction standards and developer warranties but typically smaller floor plans and delivery timelines; this property offers space, maturity of surroundings and immediacy but a 20-year-old building stock. Locationally, Guadalmina Alta sits in the golf corridor west of San Pedro de Alcántara, an area characterised by year-round international residency, two international schools within reach (The International School of Estepona at 2.6 km, the British International School at 9.1 km) and roughly 800 housing transactions per year in the local market, an active but not speculative turnover level. Compared with Marbella centre, 11 km east, the area trades walkable urbanity for density, greenery and quieter streets.
