This semi-detached house stands in Río Verde Playa, on the beachside of Marbella's Golden Mile, approximately 1.3 km as the crow flies from Playa de la Bajadilla. Built in 1996 in an Andalusian style, the property offers 275 m² of living space on a 390 m² plot, with six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private pool, a garden and a detached guest apartment. The asking price is fixed at €2,900,000. Puerto Banús and central Marbella are both within short driving distance, and the house includes a private garage for two vehicles.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property is located in Río Verde Playa, the beachside section of Marbella's Golden Mile. Playa de la Bajadilla lies 1.3 km away in a straight line, with two marinas roughly 1.4 km from the house. Marbella centre is 7 km away in a direct line, while Málaga and its airport are 54 km and about 38 km away respectively.
The house is arranged over two floors with six bedrooms and four bathrooms, suitable for larger households or regular guests. A separate guest apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom and terrace adds independent accommodation. Outdoor space includes a private garden, pool, covered terrace and private terraces with a southwest orientation. A sauna and a two-car garage are included.
This is an existing home, completed in 1996 and described as being in good condition. It is key-ready, meaning no construction phase or delivery waiting period applies. Buyers should allow for the normal survey and valuation steps that apply to a property of this age, and any modernisation would be at the new owner's initiative.
The property is a semi-detached house, not a detached villa, on a 390 m² plot. Built in 1996, it predates current building regulations and energy standards. There is no sea view mentioned; recorded views are of the garden, pool and urban surroundings. Parking is limited to the private garage for two vehicles. The gradient to the beach is moderate at 4.9%.

This property fits buyers who want an established, key-ready home in a prime Marbella location without waiting for construction. The six bedrooms and separate guest apartment suit multigenerational households, families with regular visitors, or owners who want independent space for guests or staff. The southwest terraces and private pool favour buyers who prioritise outdoor living during long evenings. It may also suit purchasers who value walkable access to services: with the beach 1.3 km away in a straight line, two marinas nearby and an exceptionally dense offering of restaurants and shops within 2 km, daily life can function without heavy car use, although the included garage covers the occasions when it is needed. Buyers for whom this is less obvious a match include those seeking a detached villa with full privacy, a modern new-build with current energy performance, or expansive sea views, none of which this property provides. The 1996 construction date means interiors and systems reflect their era; anyone wanting contemporary specifications should budget for renovation. For buyers focused on land size, a 390 m² plot is modest relative to the property's price segment, which is typical for beachside positions on the Golden Mile.
The house was completed in 1996 and is presented in good condition. Interior finishes include marble flooring, which is consistent with the construction period's upper-market standard on the Golden Mile and offers a hard, cool surface suited to the climate. Fitted wardrobes are installed in the principal bedrooms. The Andalusian architectural character shows in the entrance patio with fountain, arched veranda and tiled outdoor floors, features visible in the property's photography. Climate control is covered from several directions: air conditioning, central heating and a fireplace, allowing heating and cooling across seasons. A private sauna adds a wellness facility uncommon at this property type. WiFi, a storage room and a utility room are present, which supports practical year-round living rather than purely seasonal use. The two-floor layout separates daytime and night-time zones: living, dining, kitchen and two bedrooms below; principal bedrooms and terraces above. The covered terrace extends usable outdoor space into cooler months. As with any property approaching thirty years of age, the technical installation, plumbing, electrics, insulation and the pool system, should be assessed through an independent survey before purchase. No energy certificate details are stated here, and buyers should request full technical documentation during due diligence.
The property is offered at a fixed asking price of €2,900,000. This is an existing home completed in 1996, so no price list or unit variation applies: the price relates to this specific house with its 275 m² of living space, 390 m² plot, six bedrooms, four bathrooms, guest apartment, pool and two-car garage. Buyers comparing against new-build alternatives in the region should note that those projects typically quote from-prices for unbuilt units, whereas this figure is a single asking price for a key-ready property. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard purchase process and any negotiation between parties.
Río Verde Playa is a consolidated residential area between Marbella's Golden Mile boulevard and the coast. Daily life here revolves around short distances: the beach at Playa de la Bajadilla is 1.3 km away as the crow flies, the municipal swimming pool is under a kilometre, and several sports centres sit within the same radius. The immediate area is well served, with 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies and 24 cafés within 2 km, which means groceries, dining and daily errands rarely require a long journey. The house itself supports a settled, indoor-outdoor rhythm. The main floor holds the living and dining area with direct garden access, the kitchen and two bedrooms; the upper floor carries the principal bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and southwest-facing terraces. Because those terraces face southwest, the strongest light arrives from midday into the evening, which shapes when the outdoor spaces are most usable. The entrance patio, in Andalusian tradition, acts as a transitional space between street and interior. The independent guest apartment with its own kitchen and terrace allows visitors or family to stay separately, or could serve other purposes subject to local regulations. Dual street access simplifies arriving, loading and departing by car. Out of season, the area remains active year-round given Marbella's 147,958 inhabitants and the density of permanent services, so the neighbourhood does not empty in winter the way some holiday enclaves do.
Río Verde Playa sits on the coastal side of the Golden Mile, the stretch connecting Marbella centre to Puerto Banús. The immediate surroundings are residential and tourist at once: 52 hotels and nearly 12,800 beds operate in the wider area, which sustains a high density of restaurants, beach clubs and services throughout the year. Within 2 km of the property there are 130 restaurants, 28 pharmacies, 20 banks and 24 cafés, along with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the broader catchment. For sport and leisure, the municipal swimming pool (0.9 km), Pabellón de Gimnasia Rítmica (0.6 km) and Complejo Polideportivo Antonio Serrano Lima (0.9 km) are all within walking or short-driving range. The two Marbella marinas lie about 1.4 km away. Healthcare is covered by five health centres in the area. Public transport runs on 11 lines with 50 stops, giving car-free access to Marbella centre and surrounding districts, though most residents use a car for convenience. The Tesla Supercharger at 4.3 km serves electric vehicle owners. The neighbourhood's character is busiest in summer and calmer, though not dormant, from late autumn to spring.

The Golden Mile is one of the Costa del Sol's most established prestige addresses, running between Marbella centre (7 km) and Puerto Banús. Within the regional hierarchy it sits above nearby resort zones in terms of consolidation and service density: 4,743 housing transactions per year occur in the surrounding market, indicating active liquidity. Málaga (54 km) functions as the provincial capital and cultural hub, while Algeciras (59 km) and Gibraltar (59 km by air) sit towards the western end of the coast. The location places the property at the coastal heart of the Marbella municipality rather than in its inland or eastern districts.
Key distances, measured in a straight line: Playa de la Bajadilla 1.3 km, Playa de Casablanca 3.2 km, Playa de Nagüeles 3.9 km, Marbella centre 7 km, Málaga city 54 km, Málaga-Costa del Sol airport about 38 km and Gibraltar airport about 59 km. Actual road distances are longer than these figures. By car, the coastal A-7 and AP-7 corridor connects the Golden Mile to Puerto Banús in minutes and to Málaga airport in roughly half an hour to forty minutes depending on traffic. The two-car private garage with direct house access removes parking friction, a practical benefit in a district where visitor parking tightens in high season. Public transport, 11 lines and 50 stops nearby, covers local journeys, and the beach, marinas and several sports facilities are reachable on foot or by bicycle. For international travel, both Málaga and Gibraltar airports provide alternatives, the latter particularly relevant for flights to the United Kingdom.

The property stands at 81 metres above sea level with a moderate 4.9% gradient down to the beach, enough to notice on foot, but not a strenuous climb. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.3°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures at or above 20°C, runs around four months, concentrated in summer; outside that window the private pool and sauna extend usable leisure time, since pool heating is not stated. Sunshine is the defining feature of the Costa del Sol, and the property's southwest orientation aligns the terraces with afternoon and evening light. The Sierra Blanca foothills behind Marbella shelter the coast from northern weather systems, one reason the region records among Spain's highest sunshine totals. Walking options include the Mirador de los Gitanos viewpoint 2.5 km away and Mirador de Ojén at 4.8 km, giving access to hillside scenery within minutes of a beachside address.

The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla (1.3 km straight-line), adjoins the working fishing port and marina of the same name, where 1.5 km away the Puerto Pesquero adds a traditional element to the coastline. Playa de Casablanca (3.2 km) and Playa de Nagüeles (3.9 km) extend the choice westwards along the Golden Mile. Specific Blue Flag status is not stated in the available data for these beaches. Golf is a significant regional asset: The Range golf lessons sit 6.6 km away, with Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 8.1 km and Magna Marbella Golf at 8.9 km, three options within a quarter-hour drive. Water sports and berthing facilities are available at Marina la Bajadilla and Marina Marbella, both about 1.4 km from the house. For families, the British International School lies 3.0 km away and the English International College 7.7 km. Sports centres and the municipal pool complete a recreation offering that does not depend on season or club membership.

At €2,900,000, this property occupies a different segment of the Costa del Sol market from the comparable new-build projects listed. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,950, all entry-level apartment developments in secondary coastal towns. The price difference of roughly ten times reflects three factors: location, plot value and built form. The Golden Mile is among the most consolidated prestige addresses on the coast, with service density, 130 restaurants and 28 pharmacies within 2 km, that secondary towns cannot match. Marbella records 4,743 housing transactions per year, giving the local market depth and resale liquidity that smaller municipalities lack. Land value drives much of the premium: a 390 m² plot walking distance from the beach in Río Verde Playa carries scarcity value that inland or eastern-zone plots do not. Against other Golden Mile options, the trade-offs are structural. The price of a detached villa in this area typically starts well above this level, so the semi-detached form is what brings the property into this price band. Buyers choosing between this house and a new-build further east or west are effectively choosing between prime location with 1996-era construction and modern specification with a longer commute to Marbella and Puerto Banús. Median provincial income of €16,450 underlines how far this segment sits above the local mainstream market; the buyer pool here is international by necessity rather than by preference.
