A fully renovated townhouse in the established residential area of Nagüeles, on the western side of Marbella. The property offers 174 m² of living space across three levels, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a further guest toilet. Built in 1981 and modernised in recent years, it is key-ready and available at a fixed asking price of €790,000. The house forms part of a gated community with mature gardens and a communal pool, set roughly 4 km from Marbella town centre and about the same distance from Puerto Banús, with the beach at Playa de Nagüeles approximately 1.9 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Nagüeles is a consolidated residential district between Marbella town and Puerto Banús. The nearest beach, Playa de Nagüeles, lies 1.9 km away in a straight line, while two marinas and several golf clubs sit within roughly 4-5 km. The area combines proximity to town with a greener, hillside setting at 66 metres elevation.
The house is arranged over three floors: a kitchen, laundry and storage on the entrance level, two en-suite bedrooms with private terraces on the middle floor, and a flexible attic with home office, TV lounge and guest toilet. A south-facing paved garden, air conditioning and fitted wardrobes cover the practical needs of year-round or seasonal living.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse dates from 1981 and was fully renovated some years ago; it is now key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. No further construction phases or delivery schedules apply. Any future conversion of the attic is at the buyer's initiative.
The property has a small plot of 28 m², so outdoor space is limited to the paved garden area and terraces rather than a large garden. There is no private pool; swimming is via the communal pool. Parking is described as convenient within the gated community, but no private garage is listed. The building's age dates from 1981, predating current new-build standards.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple or small family seeking a permanent residence near Marbella will find the en-suite bedrooms, storage and gated setting practical for daily life. Part-year residents who want a lock-up-and-leave holiday home close to both Marbella town and Puerto Banús benefit from the community management and the low-maintenance paved garden. Buyers who work remotely can use the attic as an office with mountain and partial sea views, while retaining the option to add bedrooms later should family circumstances change. Those who prioritise outdoor space in the form of a large private garden or a private pool will not find that here, and would need to consider the communal facilities instead. The house also suits buyers who value an established neighbourhood over new-build: Nagüeles has mature vegetation and a settled community feel that newer urbanisations cannot replicate. Households with children have the British International School 1.6 km away in a straight line, plus a broad selection of primary and secondary schools in the wider Marbella area. Car-free living is theoretically possible given twelve bus lines and fifty stops in the municipality, but the hillside position and the distances to the beach and amenities make a car the realistic choice. Finally, the 1981 construction and subsequent renovation mean the property will not carry new-build warranties, which matters to buyers who weigh building age in their decision.
The property's condition is described as recently renovated, and the interior photographs support this: a modern living room with staircase and contemporary furnishings, a bathroom finished in blue tiling, and a bedroom with balcony access. The kitchen is fully fitted with a breakfast bar and is complemented by a separate utility room, which is a practical arrangement not always found in townhouses of this age. Fitted wardrobes are present, and air conditioning with hot-air heating provides climate control for both summer and the mild Andalusian winter. The two en-suite bathrooms on the middle floor mean each main bedroom has independent facilities, with a further powder room on the attic level. Storage is a recurring theme throughout the house: a storage room, a utility room and ample built-in space are all listed. In structural terms, the building dates from 1981, so buyers should note that it predates current building regulations on insulation and accessibility; the renovation has modernised the interiors, but an independent technical survey remains standard practice for resale property in Spain. The community elements, gated access, mature gardens and a communal pool, are managed collectively, and their state of maintenance is best assessed on site. Windows and glazing specifications are not detailed in the available data, so interested buyers should verify these during a viewing, particularly given the south-facing orientation and the potential summer heat.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €790,000 as an existing, key-ready home. This is not a price-list development, so there is no range of unit types or prices; the figure applies to this specific townhouse with its current layout of three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a guest toilet across 174 m². Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees. The attic conversion potential could add bedrooms, though the listed price reflects the property in its current configuration. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life in this townhouse revolves around its layered layout. Mornings can start on the south-facing paved garden, which catches sun for most of the day given the orientation, before the day moves into the bright living room that opens directly onto it. The entrance floor works as the practical zone: a fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, a laundry room and extra storage keep household tasks separate from the living areas. On the middle floor, both bedrooms are en-suite with their own terraces, which suits couples, guests or older children who value privacy, with views over the gardens, greenery and mountains. The attic is the most adaptable part of the house, currently a home office and TV lounge with a guest toilet, it can be converted into two further bedrooms to create a four-bedroom home. Beyond the front gate, the community offers mature gardens and a communal pool, visible in the listing imagery as a resort-style pool surrounded by planting. Nagüeles itself is a low-rise, established neighbourhood, so the rhythm is residential rather than touristic, despite Marbella's beach clubs and Puerto Banús being only minutes away by car. With fourteen restaurants, two pharmacies and a café within 2 km, daily errands are manageable locally, while the full retail and cultural offer of Marbella town is a short drive down the hill. For part-year residents, the house's lock-up-and-leave format inside a gated community reduces maintenance concerns during absences.
Nagüeles sits on the gentle slope above Marbella's western beach strip, at 66 metres elevation. The immediate surroundings are residential and green, the setting is described as close to forest, within an urbanisation of mature planting. Distances to daily amenities are short: within 2 km there are fourteen restaurants, two pharmacies and a café, while the Golden Mile's hotel and dining offer extends along the coast road. Marbella town centre lies 4 km away as the crow flies, offering the full range of shops, services and cultural life of a city of nearly 148,000 inhabitants. Healthcare is well covered, with five health centres in the area, and education ranges from 41 primary schools to 28 secondary schools, including the British International School 1.6 km from the house. For leisure, Playa de Nagüeles is 1.9 km away in a straight line, and Playa de Casablanca 2.1 km. Golfers can reach The Range at 2.2 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 3.8 km and Magna Marbella at 4.6 km. Sports facilities include a tennis and padel club 2.7 km away and a municipal sports centre at 2.9 km. Road distances will be longer than these straight-line figures, and the hillside position means most journeys start with a descent towards the coast road.
The map shows the townhouse in its hillside setting above Marbella's Golden Mile, roughly midway between Marbella old town and Puerto Banús. Beaches, golf courses and marinas cluster along the coast below, while the Sierra Blanca foothills rise immediately behind the neighbourhood.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Nagüeles occupies a middle position on Marbella's western side, between the Golden Mile and the golf valley behind Puerto Banús. This places the property closer to both Marbella old town and Banús than developments further east or west, at roughly 4 km to each. Within the Costa del Sol as a whole, it sits at the heart of the Marbella-Benalmádena-Estepona axis, about 51 km straight-line from Málaga city and 63 km from Algeciras. The local market records around 4,399 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale environment.
By car, the house is positioned between two anchors: Marbella town at 4 km and Puerto Banús at roughly 4 km straight-line, both reachable within minutes downhill. The beaches of Nagüeles and Casablanca lie around 2 km away, with road distances somewhat longer due to the slope. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 42 km as the crow flies, expect a drive of around 45-50 minutes via the A-7/AP-7, while Gibraltar Airport is 55 km straight-line to the southwest. Public transport exists in the form of twelve bus lines with fifty stops across the municipality, including a stop near the area, though services are oriented towards Marbella town rather than the hillside urbanisations. An EV charging point, the Marbella Supercharger, is 1.5 km away, which is relevant for electric vehicle owners. Within the wider area, marinas at Marbella (3.8 km), Puerto Banús (4.1 km) and La Bajadilla (5.0 km) provide mooring, dining and boat trips. A car remains the practical mode of transport for most daily journeys from this location.

The climate data points to a typical Costa del Sol profile: average monthly temperatures ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.9°C. The swimming season lasts five months, during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C, roughly May to October. At 66 metres above sea level, the house sits high enough to benefit from air movement and views, without the access challenges of higher hillside urbanisations. The setting is described as close to forest, and the Sierra Blanca foothills begin directly behind Nagüeles, giving the mountain views noted from the bedrooms and attic. Nearby viewpoints at Cantera de la Legua (2.8 km), Mirador la Concha (3.6 km) and Mirador de los Gitanos (3.9 km) offer walking destinations in the immediate hinterland. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler months, leaving long dry summers that suit the south-facing garden and terrace lifestyle, though the air conditioning listed in the features is a practical response to July and August temperatures.

The nearest sandy option is Playa de Nagüeles at 1.9 km straight-line, followed by Playa de Casablanca at 2.1 km, both part of Marbella's Golden Mile beach stretch. Playa de la Bajadilla, adjacent to the fishing port, lies 4.8 km away. The municipality holds Blue Flag status at two beaches: Los Monteros (Adelfas) on the eastern side and Puerto Banús-Levante to the west. Recreational sailing is served by three marinas: Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen in Marbella (3.8 km), Puerto Deportivo José Banús (4.1 km) and Marina La Bajadilla (5.0 km). Golf is a defining feature of this stretch of coast: The Range golf lessons facility is 2.2 km away, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, one of the region's established championship courses, is 3.8 km, and Magna Marbella Golf 4.6 km. For racket and team sports, Club de Tenis y Padel El Mirador is 2.7 km away and Polideportivo Paco Cantos 2.9 km. The area's tourism infrastructure is substantial, with 48 hotels and over 12,600 beds in the vicinity, which keeps restaurants and services open year-round rather than seasonally.

At €790,000 for 174 m², this townhouse is priced at roughly €4,540 per square metre, a level consistent with established Marbella addresses, where land scarcity and the Golden Mile proximity set the tone. The available comparables all sit outside Marbella itself. Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts at €524,600, and Aby Upper in the same town at €320,000, reflecting Estepona's position further west along the coast, roughly 25-30 minutes' drive from Marbella. Alba Benalmádena, from €648,000, lies east of Fuengirola, closer to Málaga airport but further from the Marbella-Puerto Banús axis that defines this property's location. What distinguishes this townhouse from those new-build options is twofold. First, it is a resale in a mature, gated community with established gardens, buyers know exactly what the surroundings look like today, rather than relying on renders of landscaping still to come. Second, its Nagüeles address places it within minutes of both Marbella old town and Puerto Banús, a position that new developments in this segment can rarely match because most available land now lies in secondary zones. On the other side of the ledger, the 1981 construction year means no new-build guarantees, and buyers comparing against Estepona or Benalmádena should note they would obtain more square metre per euro there, in exchange for a longer commute to the Marbella centre. The regional market context, around 4,399 transactions per year locally and a provincial median income of €16,450, underlines that demand in this pocket of Marbella is driven substantially by international and second-home buyers rather than local income levels, which historically supports resale values in established urbanisations. Whether that premium is worth it depends on how much a buyer values the Nagüeles-Marbella combination over newer stock further along the coast.
