This four-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse is situated in the gated community of Ribera de Guadalmina in Guadalmina Alta, on the western side of Marbella. The property offers 158 m² of living space over a 31 m² plot, completed in 2005 and available key-ready. Within walking distance lie the Guadalmina Commercial Centre and Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, while the beaches of Playa Atalaya and San Pedro de Alcántara sit roughly 2.3 km away as the crow flies. The asking price is fixed at €849,000, with the home sold fully furnished and including underground parking and a storage room.
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, about 11 km from central Marbella. The neighbourhood sits slightly inland at 41 m elevation, with a flat 1.7% gradient to the coast. Shops, restaurants, pharmacies and banks cluster within 2 km, and three beaches lie at similar distance in a straight line.
The house provides four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room with fireplace, separate kitchen, several terraces and a private garden with covered terrace and barbecue. Communal facilities include two swimming pools and maintained green zones. Air conditioning, fitted wardrobes and WiFi are present. Underground parking and a storage room add practical capacity for a household.
This is an existing home completed in 2005, not a new-build development. It is described as being in good condition and key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. The interiors retain their original Andalusian character, and the source material notes there is scope to modernise and personalise the spaces rather than a renovation obligation.
The plot is small at 31 m², so the private outdoor space is limited to the garden and terraces rather than expansive grounds. The property is west-facing, which affects sun exposure across the day. There is no private pool; swimming is via two communal pools. Built in 2005, the interiors may not match current new-build finishing standards without updating.
This property fits a household that prioritises space and a garden within a secure, established community, and that values proximity to golf and daily amenities over direct beachfront position. Families with school-age children can reach a local primary school and several international options, including Laude San Pedro International College and Atalaya International School mentioned in the source material. Buyers seeking a key-ready home they can move into immediately will find the property usable as it stands, sold furnished and in good condition. At the same time, those willing to modernise interiors can treat the original 2005 finishing as a starting point and personalise over time. The house also suits buyers who want a second residence with low practical friction: underground parking, storage, communal pools and walkable shopping reduce the management burden of occasional occupancy. It is less suited to buyers requiring a private pool, extensive private grounds, or contemporary new-build specifications without any updating. A car remains useful, beaches, Marbella and Puerto Banús are minutes away by road but not on foot, so the location works best for households comfortable with driving as their base mode, supplemented by eight public transport lines and fifty stops in the wider area.
The townhouse was completed in 2005 and is presented in good condition, retaining its traditional Andalusian character in the architectural detailing and layout. The interior configuration follows a classical structure: a spacious living room with fireplace, a separate kitchen rather than an open-plan arrangement, four bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and three bathrooms distributed across the accommodation. The images show a spacious bedroom with balcony access and generous patio areas oriented towards the garden. Technical and comfort features include air conditioning, WiFi and a barbecue installation on the covered terrace. The house is sold fully furnished, which shortens the move-in process but also means buyers inherit an existing interior style. Several terraces and a private garden extend the usable area beyond the 158 m² interior, and a covered terrace allows outdoor use outside the peak summer months. A large storage room and underground parking space are included, addressing two practical needs that older townhouse communities often lack. The 2005 construction date means the building predates the energy-performance standards and finishing technologies of current new-build projects; the source material explicitly notes potential to modernise the interiors. Buyers assessing long-term budgets should therefore factor in possible kitchen and bathroom updates depending on personal standards, alongside standard maintenance for a twenty-year-old property in a community with green areas and two communal pools managed collectively.
The asking price is a fixed €849,000 for this existing townhouse, sold fully furnished. That figure covers the 158 m² of living space with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus the private garden, covered terrace, storage room and underground parking space. For context within the wider region, the price sits well above new-build starting prices in Torre del Mar, Mijas and Estepona, reflecting the established positioning of Guadalmina Alta near Marbella. Interested parties should verify current availability and viewing arrangements directly, as an existing home is a single unit rather than a price list with multiple options.
Daily life in this townhouse centres on the rhythm of a consolidated gated community. Mornings can begin on the covered terrace off the private garden, which catches the western light later in the day given the west-facing orientation. The living room with its fireplace serves as the main indoor gathering point in cooler months, while the separate kitchen and multiple terraces allow household activities to spread across the house across the seasons. Practical routines are short: the Guadalmina Commercial Centre with its restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and shops is within walking distance, so a missing ingredient does not require a car trip. Pharmacies and banks are similarly close, with twelve pharmacies and eleven banks within a 2 km radius. For households with children, a primary school lies in the immediate area, and several international schools, including The International School of Estepona at 2.6 km as the crow flies, widen the options. Leisure time splits naturally between the two communal pools inside the community, the nearby golf courses, and the coast. Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro all lie about 2.3 km away in a straight line, reachable in a few minutes by car. Puerto Deportivo José Banús sits 4.9 km away for marina visits and dining. The area remains residential rather than touristic in character; outside the summer months the neighbourhood stays quiet, with the amenities of San Pedro de Alcántara a short drive away for urban variety.
Guadalmina Alta functions as a mature residential neighbourhood on the western Costa del Sol, between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona and about 11 km straight-line from Marbella centre. Amenities are dense: within 2 km there are 31 restaurants, 14 cafés, 12 pharmacies, 11 banks and 2 schools, giving the area a self-sufficient daily infrastructure. The Guadalmina Commercial Centre lies within walking distance of the property, covering shopping and dining needs without a car. Sport and leisure facilities cluster nearby: Apolo sports centre is 1.0 km away, with two community pools at 1.4 km, and El Campanario Golf Course 1.7 km from the door. El Paraíso Golf Club follows at 2.6 km, and Real Club de Golf Guadalmina is adjacent to the neighbourhood. The terrain is flat, a 1.7% gradient to the sea at 41 m elevation, which makes walking and cycling realistic for local trips. Public transport covers the area with eight lines and fifty stops, though most residents rely on a car for beach trips and visits further afield. The housing market records around 800 transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market. Nearby viewpoints such as Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.3 km offer walking destinations, and the setting is described as close to forest as well as town.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Guadalmina Alta occupies a position on the western side of the Marbella municipality, closer to Estepona's sphere than to Marbella centre, which lies 11 km away in a straight line. Málaga city and its airport sit roughly 50-59 km to the east, while Algeciras and Gibraltar are 48-55 km to the west, the area sits at a midpoint of the western Costa del Sol. This placement combines access to Marbella's and Puerto Banús's amenities with the quieter, more residential character of the Guadalmina and Atalaya neighbourhoods.
The nearest beach, Playa Atalaya, lies 2.3 km away as the crow flies, with Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro at the same direct distance, a few minutes by car given the flat terrain. Marbella centre is 11 km straight-line, and Puerto Deportivo José Banús 4.9 km, making marina dining and shopping a short drive. Two airports serve the area: Gibraltar at roughly 48 km direct and Malaga-Costa del Sol at about 50 km, giving a choice of arrival points; actual road travel to either is longer than the straight-line figure suggests. For electric vehicle owners, Supercharger Estepona sits 5.6 km away and Marbella Supercharger 7.7 km. Golf accessibility is a defining feature: El Campanario at 1.7 km, El Paraíso at 2.6 km, and Real Club de Golf Guadalmina within walking distance of the community. Public transport provides eight lines and fifty stops across the area, usable for local connections, though a car remains the practical base for most households.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 19.1°C, a typical Costa del Sol profile of mild winters and warm, dry summers. The swimming season extends to five months with sea temperatures of 20°C or above, roughly May through September, which matches the use pattern of the two communal pools and the nearby beaches. The elevation of 41 m above sea level keeps the property on essentially flat ground with a 1.7% gradient towards the coast, so no stair-climbing streets or steep access roads affect daily life. The west-facing orientation means the terraces and garden receive afternoon and evening sun, favourable for outdoor dinners and late-day use, though mornings on the terrace will be shaded. Mountain views and lake views are noted from the property, and the setting is described as close to forest, adding green surroundings to the residential environment. Nature excursions are available at several viewpoints within 5 km, including Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos at 4.3 km.

Three beaches lie within about 2.3 km straight-line of the property: Playa Atalaya, Playa Isdabe and Playa de San Pedro. This stretch of coast west of Marbella offers sandy beaches with the full chiringuito and promenade infrastructure of San Pedro de Alcántara a short drive away. Recreation options are heavily golf-oriented: Real Club de Golf Guadalmina is within walking distance, El Campanario Golf Course sits 1.7 km away, and El Paraíso Golf Club at 2.6 km, three courses within a five-minute radius for regular players. Sports facilities beyond golf include the Apolo sports centre at 1.0 km and two pool complexes at 1.4 km. Inside the gated community itself, two communal swimming pools and maintained green areas provide daily recreation without leaving the grounds. Puerto Deportivo José Banús at 4.9 km adds marina-based leisure, waterfront dining and people-watching, while the nearby viewpoints offer gentler walking destinations. The barbecue on the covered terrace extends the private outdoor season beyond the summer months.

At €849,000 as a fixed asking price, this townhouse occupies a different market segment from the newer developments used as comparators on the eastern and central Costa del Sol. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, all substantially lower entry points, but all new-build apartments or townhouses in less established settings rather than a 158 m² home with a private garden in a consolidated gated community. What the Guadalmina Alta property offers in exchange for its price is location maturity: the neighbourhood formed around the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina decades ago, and its infrastructure, 31 restaurants, 12 pharmacies and 11 banks within 2 km, plus a walkable commercial centre, is already in place rather than planned. Its position between San Pedro de Alcántara and Marbella, 11 km from the latter's centre and about 5 km from Puerto Banús, places it in one of the coast's higher-value corridors. Buyers comparing options should weigh the trade-off explicitly: new-build projects deliver contemporary specifications, efficiency standards and developer warranties at lower starting prices further from Marbella, whereas this property delivers space, an established community with two communal pools, and immediate access to golf, schools and shops, with interiors dating from 2005 that may warrant modernisation. The local market records around 800 housing transactions per year, indicating steady turnover in the area. For buyers focused specifically on the Marbella, Estepona stretch rather than the coast as a whole, this property competes mainly with resale townhouses in Guadalmina, Atalaya and El Paraíso rather than with the new-build comparables further east.
