This semi-detached house stands in the beachside district of San Pedro Playa, within the Marqués del Duero residential area of San Pedro de Alcántara, part of the municipality of Marbella. The property offers 261 m² of built space on a 403 m² private plot, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Construction dates from 1970 and the house is key-ready.

Playa de San Pedro lies 1.6 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house sits in the Marqués del Duero area of San Pedro de Alcántara, a town within the municipality of Marbella on the Costa del Sol. The beach at San Pedro is 1.6 km away in a straight line, and Puerto Deportivo José Banús lies 3.4 km away. The A-7 coast road connects the area with Marbella, 10 km to the east, and with Estepona further west.
The layout provides four bedrooms and three bathrooms across 261 m², with an ensuite bathroom and fitted wardrobes. Outdoor living is served by 91 m² of terraces, a solarium, a barbecue area, a private garden and a private pool. Air conditioning and a fireplace cover climate control across seasons. Multiple private parking spaces are included within the gated complex.
This is an existing home, completed in 1970, and is available key-ready. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to take into account; the buyer can proceed directly to purchase and occupation. Any modernisation or refurbishment would be a matter for the new owner to assess independently, based on the condition of the 1970 structure.
The property is a semi-detached house, not a detached villa, and its plot measures 403 m² with corresponding garden space rather than extensive grounds. It dates from 1970, so buyers should verify the current state of installations and finishes. No sea views are listed; the views recorded are of the garden and pool. Information about energy performance and community costs is not stated in the available data.
This house suits several recognisable situations. A family relocating to the Marbella area benefits from four bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, proximity to schools and the year-round infrastructure of San Pedro, including health centres and sports facilities such as Polideportivo San Pedro 1.1 km away. Buyers seeking a second home within walking distance of the sea will find the 1.6 km distance to Playa de San Pedro practical, with the private pool covering the months when a beach trip feels like too much effort. Those who entertain can use the barbecue, terraces and solarium as extended living space for much of the year. The property may also fit buyers prioritising a gated setting with private parking over an apartment in a larger community. It is less obvious for buyers wanting a modern new-build with current energy standards, since the construction dates from 1970 and any upgrade works would be at the new owner's initiative. Equally, buyers seeking panoramic sea views should note that the recorded views are of the garden and pool. For owners who want a car-free routine part of the time, the density of amenities within two kilometres, and the 50 public transport stops across 10 lines in the wider area, make daily life manageable without driving every day.
The house was completed in 1970 and is presented key-ready, which means the finishes visible today are those a buyer inspects before purchase rather than a developer's specification sheet. Recorded features include fitted wardrobes, an ensuite bathroom, a covered terrace and a solarium, alongside a barbecue area in the garden. Climate control combines air conditioning for summer with a fireplace for cooler winter evenings, a pairing typical of Andalusian homes of this generation and practical given the average annual temperature of 19 °C with monthly averages ranging from 12 to 26 °C. The images show a covered patio with vines, a modern bathroom with tub, and bedrooms with ample windows, indicating that parts of the interior have been updated over the years. Because the building is more than fifty years old, a technical survey is a sensible step to establish the condition of the roof, electrics, plumbing and insulation; Spanish homes of this period often have solid load-bearing construction but predate current energy-efficiency requirements. The private pool and garden are on the 403 m² plot, and the house includes multiple private parking spaces within the gated complex. In short, the quality on offer is established, maintained housing with features added over time, and buyers should verify each element during viewing rather than rely on new-build guarantees.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €1,470,000. This is an existing home completed in 1970, delivered key-ready, so there is no price list of unit types or phased releases as with new-build developments. The price reflects the position in the beachside area of San Pedro Playa and the combination of 261 m² built area, a 403 m² plot, a private pool and private garden. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees, and should verify annual running costs such as municipal tax and any community fees with the seller. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
Daily life at this address centres on the combination of a residential street setting with beach proximity. The house stands in Marqués del Duero, an established part of San Pedro Playa, where restaurants, cafés, pharmacies and banks cluster within roughly two kilometres. With 27 restaurants and 13 cafés in that radius, eating out and daily errands do not depend on a car, although the enclosed garage parking makes longer trips straightforward. The morning rhythm follows the southeast orientation: the terraces and solarium receive light from early in the day, which suits breakfast outdoors and swimming before the midday heat. The pool and barbecue area support the outdoor part of the day, while the covered terrace allows use in shoulder seasons. Inside, the 261 m² of floor area distributes four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an ensuite, so the house accommodates a family or visiting guests without conversion work. The gradient from the house towards the sea is moderate at 3.3%, meaning the walk to Playa de San Pedro is a manageable stroll rather than a steep climb. In the evening, the surrounding area stays lived-in year-round: San Pedro is a functioning Spanish town with schools, health centres and sports facilities, not a seasonal resort, and the promenade at San Pedro beach sits about 1.6 km away as the crow flies. Puerto Banús, with its marina and nightlife, is close enough for an evening out yet far enough to keep the immediate street quiet.
The surrounding area supports a full daily routine within a short radius. Within two kilometres there are 27 restaurants, 13 cafés, 11 pharmacies and 11 banks, plus a school, which places most daily needs within walking or short driving distance. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the area, and education options include 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the wider municipality, with The International School of Estepona 4.1 km away and the British International School 7.5 km away. For exercise, Rocodromo lies 0.7 km away, the Apolo sports centre 1.0 km and Polideportivo San Pedro 1.1 km. The beach at San Pedro is 1.6 km distant in a straight line, with a moderate 3.3% gradient along the way, and the dog-friendly Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 1.9 km away. Public transport in the area runs across 10 lines with 50 stops, so travel towards Marbella and Estepona is possible without a car, though most residents use one. The setting is residential rather than resort-like: San Pedro has a permanent population and year-round commerce, and tourism infrastructure, including 52 hotels in the district, concentrates along the coast rather than in the residential streets.
The map shows the house in the Marqués del Duero area of San Pedro Playa, with Playa de San Pedro 1.6 km to the south and Puerto Banús 3.4 km to the east along the coast. Marbella centre lies 10 km further east. Distances shown are straight-line measurements; actual road routes are longer.

San Pedro de Alcántara occupies a distinct position within the municipality of Marbella: less internationally known than Marbella old town or Puerto Banús, yet directly between them and Estepona. Marbella centre lies 10 km to the east along the coast; Estepona and, further on, Algeciras (57 km) lie to the west. Málaga city and its airport sit at the eastern end of the Costa del Sol at roughly 48-57 km. For residents, this means the quieter, more Spanish character of San Pedro combines with access to the marinas, golf courses and hotel infrastructure of the central Costa del Sol. The house itself stands in a residential beachside pocket rather than on the tourist front line.
Access by car is good: the A-7 and AP-7 run along the coast, connecting San Pedro with Marbella 10 km away and with Estepona and Algeciras to the west. Málaga, with 579,076 inhabitants, lies 57 km away in a straight line and its airport, Malaga-Costa del Sol (AGP), approximately 48 km; driving time is considerably longer than the straight-line figure suggests, typically around 45-50 minutes via the AP-7. Gibraltar Airport is a similar distance at roughly 49 km as the crow flies, giving a second flight option. Beach access is a core feature: Playa de San Pedro lies 1.6 km away in a direct line, and the marina at Puerto José Banús is 3.4 km from the house. Golfers can reach 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. Electric-vehicle owners will find the Marbella Supercharger 6.1 km away and a Supercharger near Estepona at 7.2 km. Given the density of amenities within two kilometres, many errands are walkable, which reduces dependence on the car for daily life.

The climate is a central part of living here. The average annual temperature is 19.0 °C, with monthly averages between 12 °C in the coolest month and 26 °C in the warmest, and the swimming season, when sea water reaches at least 20 °C, lasts about five months. This means pool and beach use typically extends from late spring into early autumn, and the fireplace listed among the features covers the mild but cooler winter evenings. The house sits at 53 m above sea level, low enough to keep walking and cycling practical, with a moderate 3.3% gradient towards the beach. For nature excursions, the viewpoints at Mirador del Muelle de Honor (3.3 km) and Mirador de la Charca de los Tubos (4.9 km) offer coastal scenery within easy reach, and the hinterland of the Sierra behind Marbella opens up walking routes further afield. Sunshine hours on the Costa del Sol are among the highest in Spain, which matters for a southeast-facing house with a solarium: the orientation delivers morning and midday sun on the terraces while avoiding the strongest late-afternoon heat in summer.

Beach life around San Pedro is well served. Playa de San Pedro, 1.6 km away in a direct line, is the nearest option and forms part of a broad, family-oriented stretch of coast with a promenade. Playa Canina Ventura del Mar at 1.9 km is a designated dog beach, and Playa Atalaya lies 3.5 km to the east. The area records two Blue Flag beaches, Guadalmina and Venus-Bajadilla, which reflects water quality and lifeguard standards. Recreation beyond the sand includes three golf courses within 3.2 km: Magna Marbella Golf, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and El Higueral Golf, a concentration that places the house within a short drive of the Golf Valley. Sports facilities nearby include Rocodromo at 0.7 km, the Apolo centre at 1.0 km and Polideportivo San Pedro at 1.1 km, covering climbing, gym and municipal sports. For sailing and waterfront dining, Puerto Deportivo José Banús is 3.4 km away. The sea temperature supports swimming for roughly five months a year at comfortable levels, aligning with the private pool season at home.

At a fixed asking price of €1,470,000, this house occupies a different segment of the market from recent new-build projects along the coast. Comparable developments such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) offer modern apartments or townhouses at entry-level prices, but in locations further from the Marbella beachside core and with smaller plots. What this property offers instead is land and position: a 403 m² private plot with pool and garden in the Marqués del Duero area of San Pedro Playa, within walking distance of the beach and minutes by car from Puerto Banús and the Golf Valley. San Pedro itself functions as the more residential counterpart to Marbella centre, 10 km east, with a permanent population, year-round commerce and schools, and housing transactions in the area run at roughly 4,743 per year, indicating an active resale market. Buyers weighing this house against new-build alternatives should consider three trade-offs. First, a 1970 construction carries no developer guarantees and may need investment to reach current insulation and installation standards. Second, the plot size and private pool are features rarely available at new-build prices in this immediate area, where land values are high. Third, the semi-detached form means shared structural elements with the neighbouring property, which affects both costs and renovation flexibility. Within San Pedro, the beachside setting commands a premium over properties in the northern, inland streets of the town, and the proximity of international schools, the health network and the AP-7 corridor supports year-round liveability as well as rental potential, should the owner consider letting the property in periods of non-use.
