A substantial four-bedroom townhouse of 334 m² in the Valdeolletas district of northern Marbella, set within an Andalusian-style residential development with communal gardens and swimming pool. The property offers multiple terraces, sea views, a private lift shaft connecting basement to second floor, and underground parking for up to three cars. Built in 2000 and key-ready, the home is in fair condition and has previously been rented. The asking price is fixed at €725,000. Marbella centre is roughly a ten-minute drive away, with the beach approximately one kilometre as the crow flies.
Set against current new-build supply in Marbella, this townhouse occupies a different segment. Projects such as The Grove (from €527,500), Be Aloha (from €510,000) and Soleil (from €540,000) offer contemporary construction, modern finishes and developer warranties, but typically deliver smaller surface areas than the 334 m² plus 121 m² basement available here. At €725,000, this property costs roughly €2,170 per m² of built space before accounting for the basement, a figure few new-build townhouses in Marbella match. The counterweight is condition: the fair rating, dated finishes and unfinished basement mean a refurbishment budget must be added, and the works carry project-management effort that new-build buyers avoid. Locationally, Valdeolletas is more urban than the new-build belt west of town: pharmacy, supermarket, sports centres and schools sit within hundreds of metres, and the beach is walkable at about one kilometre, whereas several golf-valley developments depend more heavily on the car for daily errands. Marbella's market context matters too: with 4,743 housing transactions per year and a resident population approaching 160,000, resale liquidity in established neighbourhoods is historically solid, and the property's prior rental history demonstrates income potential. Buyers weighing this house against new-build alternatives are effectively choosing between space and immediate usability, a large footprint with works required, versus a smaller, finished home at a similar total outlay. The private lift shaft and three-car underground parking are features rarely found in either new-build or resale townhouses at this price level, and both carry practical value for longer-term occupancy.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in Valdeolletas, an established residential area in the north of Marbella. A supermarket lies 234 metres away and a pharmacy 8 metres, while the nearest hospital is under one kilometre. Playa de la Bajadilla is about one kilometre as the crow flies, and Marbella centre is roughly a ten-minute drive. Golf courses sit around six kilometres from the property.
The layout serves households needing space and flexibility: four bedrooms across three levels, three bathrooms including two en-suites, a 121 m² basement awaiting conversion, and several terraces including a private top terrace with sea views. A communal pool is directly accessible from the patio, and underground parking accommodates up to three cars.
This is not a new-build project. The townhouse was completed in 2000 and is key-ready in fair condition. It has previously been rented and would benefit from updating and refurbishment. The existing private lift could potentially be recommissioned to run from the basement through to the second floor, subject to technical assessment.
The plot is small at 60 m², with outdoor space concentrated in a private patio and terraces rather than a garden. The property is east-facing, so the main outdoor areas receive morning rather than afternoon sun. The basement is unfinished in its current state, and any conversion would require the necessary permissions. The overall condition is recorded as fair, meaning refurbishment costs should be budgeted.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer with a growing household who needs four bedrooms and multiple bathrooms will find the three-level layout workable, with the en-suite top floor suitable for guests or older children. Those seeking a renovation project in an established Marbella neighbourhood can treat the unfinished 121 m² basement and dated finishes as scope to add value, subject to permissions. Households with two or three cars benefit from the private underground parking. Investors may recognise the property's rental history and its size-to-price ratio relative to newer stock. Conversely, the house suits less well those wanting a turnkey home with contemporary finishes throughout, or buyers who prioritise a large private garden, the 60 m² plot makes terrace living the model here. The east orientation favours morning use of outdoor space, which matters to residents who want afternoon and evening sun on their terrace. The fair condition rating is the central fact of this purchase: the price reflects a home that functions but needs updating, and buyers should view it with a works budget in mind rather than expecting move-in-ready presentation. Proximity to schools, shops and healthcare makes it practical for permanent residence, not only holiday use.
The house dates from 2000 and is recorded in fair condition. The interior images show conventional finishes of that period: fitted wooden wardrobes, standard tiling in bathrooms, and functional kitchen units partially open to the living room. Climate control is present in multiple forms, air conditioning for both hot and cold, plus a working fireplace in the living room, which covers year-round comfort. A notable technical feature is the private lift, already installed through the building from basement to second floor; it would need recommissioning, but the shaft and equipment exist, which is rare in townhouses of this age and removes a major construction barrier for buyers with mobility considerations or long-term plans. The basement is unfinished but benefits from natural light and ventilation, making conversion into a gym, office, cinema room or additional living space structurally plausible, subject to permissions. The structure is distributed over ground, first and second floors plus basement, with terraces on two levels and a covered terrace among the listed features. Windows and external elements have not been renewed according to the available data, so buyers should assess insulation and glazing during a technical survey. In short: the bones are substantial, 334 m², solid room proportions, parking, lift shaft, while the finishes reflect a property awaiting modernisation.
The asking price is fixed at €725,000 for this existing townhouse. In exchange, the buyer acquires 334 m² of built living space plus a 121 m² basement and private underground parking for up to three cars, a surface area considerably larger than new-build alternatives at comparable price points in Marbella, where nearby projects such as The Grove start from €527,500 and Be Aloha from €510,000, typically for smaller new units. The trade-off is condition: the house is dated in places and a refurbishment budget should be planned alongside the purchase price. The property is key-ready, so transfer can proceed without waiting for construction. Buyers should verify community fees, annual IBI and any costs related to recommissioning the lift before committing.
Daily life in this townhouse revolves around a vertical layout of four levels. The entrance floor contains a hallway, cloakroom, kitchen partially open to a generously proportioned living and dining room with a working fireplace, and direct access to the private patio and communal pool area. The first floor holds a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two further bedrooms sharing a full bathroom, and a terrace over the communal gardens and pool. The top floor adds another en-suite bedroom, a storage room and a private, unoverlooked terrace with sea views. Below ground, the 121 m² basement receives natural light and ventilation and is currently a blank canvas. The east orientation means the terraces catch morning sun, with shade later in the day. Valdeolletas itself is a peaceful residential neighbourhood, so the rhythm here is quiet: short walks to the pharmacy on the corner and the supermarket a few hundred metres away, drives or longer walks into Marbella centre for restaurants and shopping, and summer use of the communal pool a few steps from the patio. The property has previously functioned as a rental, which is relevant context for anyone weighing personal use against an income strategy. Practical considerations include the small 60 m² plot, meaning outdoor living is terrace-based, and the fair condition, which implies refurbishment works at some stage.
Valdeolletas is one of Marbella's established residential areas, combining a quiet setting with short distances to everyday facilities. A pharmacy stands 8 metres from the property and a supermarket 234 metres, so basic shopping is a matter of minutes on foot. A hospital lies under one kilometre away, and within two kilometres the area intelligence counts 137 restaurants, 29 pharmacies, 20 banks and 25 cafés. Sports infrastructure is unusually close: Polideportivo Francisco Norte at 200 metres, Polideportivo Riohuelo at 400 metres and the Supera Miraflores centre with its swimming pool at 600 metres. The nearest municipal pool is 1.1 km away. Two marinas, Puerto Deportivo Virgen del Carmen at 500 metres and Marina la Bajadilla at 1.2 km, sit within walking distance of the coast. For families, the British International School is 2.2 km away and the English International College 8.2 km. Public transport covers the municipality with 11 lines and 50 stops, and many daily amenities can be reached on foot or by bicycle, reducing car dependence for routine errands. Marbella centre is roughly a ten-minute drive for wider shopping, dining and cultural offerings. The gradient towards the beach is flat at 1.4%, making the walk to the sea straightforward despite the kilometre distance.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Within Marbella, Valdeolletas occupies the northern edge of the town's built-up area, residential, established and within easy reach of both the centre and the road towards the golf valley and Estepona. Along the Costa del Sol, Marbella functions as one of the region's principal residential and tourist centres, roughly midway between Málaga city (47 km straight-line) and the Strait of Gibraltar. The town's 159,786 inhabitants, 52 hotels and 4,743 annual housing transactions indicate a deep, liquid property market rather than a seasonal resort village. For positioning: buyers comparing this address with new-build developments west of town trade immediate walkability for contemporary construction.
The nearest beach, Playa de la Bajadilla, lies about one kilometre away as the crow flies, road distance will be somewhat longer. Other beaches include Playa de Casablanca at 2.1 km and Playa de la Fontanilla and Nagüeles around 2.9 km. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 39 km away in a straight line, giving a practical link for international travel; Gibraltar Airport is an alternative at 58 km. Golfers reach Golf Los Naranjos and The Range at roughly six kilometres, with Aloha Golf Club at 6.8 km and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas at 7.2 km, the heart of Marbella's golf valley is therefore a short drive. An electric vehicle charging point is 2.1 km away, with a Tesla supercharger at 3.3 km. A car remains useful for beach trips, golf and the airport, but the density of shops, sports centres and schools within two kilometres means many routines work without one. Eleven bus lines and 50 stops provide public transport coverage across the municipality.

Marbella sits at just 31 metres above sea level with a flat 1.4% gradient towards the coast, so no significant climbs interrupt daily movement. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 19.1°C and monthly averages ranging from 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season lasts about five months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C. This pattern supports outdoor use of the terraces and communal pool from late spring into autumn, while the working fireplace and hot air conditioning cover the cooler winter months. The east orientation of the house places morning light on the terraces, agreeable for breakfast outside during warm months. The setting lists proximity to forest, giving residents access to green walking routes on the inland side of the municipality, alongside the coastal environment. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer, so the outdoor season is long and largely dry, consistent with Marbella's reputation as one of the mildest microclimates on the Costa del Sol.
