A traditional townhouse of 140 m² in the centre of San Pedro de Alcántara, within the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room with fireplace and a rooftop solarium terrace. Built in 1970 and requiring renovation, it is situated a short walk from Avenida Marqués del Duero and the Plaza de la Iglesia. The asking price is fixed at €440,000. Distances to the beach, Marbella and Puerto Banús are measured in straight-line kilometres. The property is currently configured as a single dwelling.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in the town centre of San Pedro de Alcántara, close to shops, restaurants, a school and the main avenue. Playa de San Pedro lies approximately 1.6 km away as the crow flies, and Marbella is 10 km in a straight line. The surrounding streets are urban in character, with 27 restaurants and 11 pharmacies within 2 km.
The property currently functions as a family home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 140 m². The rooftop solarium, partially covered by a pergola and gazebo, provides outdoor space. A fireplace features in the living room. The house is unfitted and unfurnished, which means kitchens and interiors must be installed as part of renovation works.
This is an existing property completed in 1970 and now key-ready in the sense that it is immediately available for transfer. However, the condition is recorded as requiring renovation and restoration. There is no construction phase or developer delivery schedule involved; buyers take on a refurbishment project with works to be planned and licensed locally.
The property does not offer a fitted kitchen, furniture, parking, a garden, a swimming pool or sea views. Renovation and restoration are required throughout. Any conversion into independent apartments depends on planning feasibility, licences and approvals that have not yet been confirmed. Views are urban and oriented towards the street.
This property suits several recognisable situations. First, an investor seeking a renovation project in an established town centre: the theoretical conversion into three independent units, each potentially lettable, is the principal financial angle, though it remains subject to municipal approval. Second, a buyer who wants to create a custom home near Marbella at a lower entry price than the coastal strip, accepting that the works must be commissioned and managed personally. Third, someone planning a permanent move to San Pedro who values walking-distance amenities, school, pharmacy, cafés and the weekly rhythm of a Spanish town, over sea views or a private pool. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a turn-key holiday home, since the interiors are dated and unfitted, or for those wanting on-site parking, a garden or communal facilities. The south-facing orientation and rooftop solarium will appeal to buyers who prioritise outdoor living space in an urban setting. Households intending to rely on public transport will find the 10 local lines practical for daily needs, while trips to Marbella, Estepona or the airport are easier by car. The typical buyer is comfortable with Spanish planning procedures and renovation budgets, and values location and land value over finish.
The building dates from 1970 and its construction reflects the techniques and standards of that period. The current condition is recorded as requiring both renovation and restoration, which in practice means updating electrical installations, plumbing, windows and interior finishes, and bringing thermal and acoustic performance towards modern expectations. The kitchen is not fitted and the property is sold unfurnished, so the full interior is to be installed by the buyer. Utilities are connected: electricity, drinkable water and gas are available at the property. The living room contains a fireplace, typical of townhouses of this era. The layout comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a spacious living room and a rooftop solarium reached by an internal staircase; the roof terrace carries a pergola and a gazebo, providing shaded and open seating areas. Images show an open-plan living-dining area, bedrooms with ceiling fans and large windows, indicating a functional but dated interior. Structural assessment by a qualified surveyor is a standard step for properties of this age in Spain, and any conversion into independent apartments would additionally require an architect's project, planning confirmation and building licences from Marbella municipality. No warranty is given on the condition of installations; inspection before purchase is advisable.
The asking price is fixed at €440,000 for the property as a whole. This is an existing home from 1970, not a new-build development, so there is no price list or unit variation. The price reflects the central location and the redevelopment potential: subject to planning regulations and the necessary licences, the building could be converted into up to three independent apartments. Buyers should budget separately for renovation and restoration works, which the property requires throughout. Comparable new-build projects in the wider region start at lower from-prices, but those are typically located further from Marbella's centre. Availability is immediate, as the property is key-ready.
Daily life around this townhouse takes place within the historic core of San Pedro de Alcántara. The Plaza de la Iglesia and the Avenida Marqués del Duero are within a short walk, meaning cafés, banks, pharmacies and shops are reached on foot rather than by car. The area counts 13 cafés and 11 banks within a 2 km radius, alongside a school and several health centres in the wider town. The rhythm here is urban and year-round, not seasonal: San Pedro functions as an established residential town within the municipality of Marbella, with some 4,743 housing transactions per year recorded locally, indicating an active property market. For leisure, the rooftop solarium serves as the property's principal outdoor space; it carries a pergola and a gazebo with seating, usable across most of the year given the regional climate. The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro, sits 1.6 km away as the crow flies, roughly a 20-minute walk, with a moderate gradient of 3.3% between the town and the shore. Sports facilities such as the Polideportivo San Pedro (1.1 km straight-line) and the Rocodromo climbing wall (0.7 km) support an active routine. Public transport covers the town with 10 lines and 50 stops, so day-to-day mobility without a car is realistic, though a vehicle remains useful for reaching Marbella, Puerto Banús or the golf courses inland. The house itself, with its unmodernised interiors and street-facing windows, fits a buyer comfortable with building works before moving in.
The immediate surroundings are those of a consolidated Andalusian town centre. Within 2 km there are 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies, 11 banks and a school, which places almost all daily errands within walking distance. Education provision in the wider area is substantial, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools, plus international options such as The International School of Estepona (4.1 km straight-line) and the British International School (7.5 km). Healthcare is covered by 5 health centres in the area. For recreation, three golf courses lie within roughly 3 km: Magna Marbella Golf at 2.3 km, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 2.8 km and El Higueral Golf at 3.2 km, all straight-line distances. The marina of Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 3.4 km away as the crow flies. Public transport consists of 10 lines with 50 stops, supporting car-free living locally. Marbella city lies 10 km away in a straight line, and Málaga and Algeciras are each about 57 km distant, straight-line measurements that translate into longer road journeys.
The map shows the property's position in the centre of San Pedro de Alcántara, a short distance inland from the coast. Playa de San Pedro lies 1.6 km to the south-east as the crow flies, with the golf valleys of Las Brisas and Magna Marbella to the north-east and Puerto Banús 3.4 km to the east. Marbella city centre is 10 km away in a straight line.

San Pedro de Alcántara sits on the western side of the Marbella municipality, roughly 10 km straight-line from Marbella city centre and about 3.4 km from Puerto Banús. This positions the property between two of the Costa del Sol's most established destinations while retaining the character of a genuine Spanish town rather than a resort. Málaga and its airport lie about 57 km and 48 km away respectively in straight-line terms, and Algeciras, gateway to Gibraltar and North Africa, is 57 km. Within the region, San Pedro functions as a year-round residential base with strong services, distinct from the more seasonal beach enclaves further west towards Estepona.
The nearest beach, Playa de San Pedro, is 1.6 km away as the crow flies, with the dog-friendly Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.9 km and Playa Atalaya at 3.5 km. The route from the town to the coast carries a moderate gradient of 3.3%, meaning the return walk involves a gentle climb. Marbella is 10 km away in a straight line and Algeciras 57 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies approximately 48 km away as the crow flies, with Gibraltar Airport a comparable 49 km, an unusual situation where two international airports are almost equidistant, and Gibraltar can be the shorter road journey for destinations it serves. Alicante-Elche Airport, at roughly 439 km straight-line, is not a practical option. Electric-vehicle charging is available at the Marbella Supercharger (6.1 km straight-line) and the Estepona Supercharger (7.2 km). Within the town itself, shops, schools and healthcare are reachable on foot, and the 10 public transport lines with 50 stops cover the town and connections towards Marbella.

San Pedro de Alcántara sits at a low elevation of 53 metres above sea level, so the terrain between the house and the coast involves only a moderate 3.3% gradient, manageable on foot or by bicycle for most people. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.0°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, conditions that allow the rooftop solarium to be used for most of the year. The swimming season lasts about five months, during which sea temperatures reach at least 20°C. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, consistent with the Andalusian coast. The elevation also means no steep access roads or hillside exposure to wind, unlike villages set higher in the Sierra. Green spaces nearby include viewpoints at the Mirador del Muelle de Honor (3.3 km straight-line) and the Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.9 km), the latter a coastal wetland area suitable for walking and birdwatching.

Beach options within a few kilometres include Playa de San Pedro (1.6 km straight-line), Playa Canina Ventura del Mar (1.9 km), which permits dogs, and Playa Atalaya (3.5 km). The area holds two Blue Flag beaches: Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, a recognised standard of water quality and services. Golfers can reach three courses within roughly 3 km of the property: Magna Marbella Golf (2.3 km), Real Club de Golf Las Brisas (2.8 km) and El Higueral Golf (3.2 km), all straight-line distances, with road distances somewhat longer. Sports facilities close by include the Rocodromo climbing centre (0.7 km), the Apolo centre (1.0 km) and the municipal Polideportivo San Pedro (1.1 km). Marinas at Puerto Deportivo José Banús (3.4 km) and Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen in Marbella (9.2 km) cover mooring and nautical services. The tourism infrastructure is significant, 52 hotels with 12,781 beds, which sustains restaurant and leisure options year-round in San Pedro itself.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a different segment from the new-build developments typically advertised in the region. Comparable projects listed nearby include Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000). Those developments offer modern construction, fitted finishes and communal facilities, but at locations further from the Marbella town centres, Torre del Mar and Mijas sit on the eastern side of Málaga's coastal arc, while Estepona lies west of San Pedro. At a fixed €440,000 for 140 m², this townhouse prices at roughly €3,140 per m² of existing built area in the heart of San Pedro, before renovation costs. That comparison illustrates the regional trade-off: new-build pricing in the €200,000-€320,000 range buys contemporary finish and developer warranties on the urban periphery, whereas this asking price buys land value and location within a consolidated centre, ten minutes' drive from Puerto Banús and 10 km straight-line from Marbella. The local market is active, with 4,743 housing transactions per year recorded in the area, and San Pedro's tourism infrastructure of 52 hotels and 12,781 beds supports rental demand, the background condition for the apartment-conversion strategy, which remains contingent on planning approval. Buyers comparing options should weigh finished new-build comfort in outer locations against an urban renovation asset with redevelopment potential in one of the coast's most established towns.
