This one-bedroom townhouse is situated in the La Cortijera area of El Chaparral, on the edge of La Cala de Mijas on the Costa del Sol. The property measures 38 m² of living space on a 59 m² plot and was comprehensively renovated approximately one year ago. It is sold fully furnished and in key-ready condition. Playa de La Cala - El Torreón lies roughly 300 metres away as the crow flies, and the centre of La Cala de Mijas can be reached on foot along the coastal promenade. The asking price is fixed at €349,500. The home includes a west-facing private terrace, a communal swimming pool, air conditioning and a tourist rental licence.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property stands in an urban setting near the coast of La Cala de Mijas, in the province of Málaga. The beach at El Torreón is about 300 metres away in a direct line, the supermarket roughly 400 metres and the pharmacy under 300 metres. Málaga Airport lies 25 km away as the crow flies. Shops, restaurants and cafés in the village centre are reachable on foot or by bicycle.
The house offers one bedroom, one bathroom and 38 m² of living space, with a west-facing private terrace that receives afternoon sun. It is delivered furnished and renovated, which limits the work required before occupation. Communal facilities include a swimming pool, a children's pool, a bowls green and an on-site bar. Air conditioning, satellite TV and WiFi are installed. The compact layout suits one or two occupants.
This is an existing property completed in 1970 and renovated roughly one year ago. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the home can be occupied directly after purchase. There is no planning phase or delivery schedule involved; any dates relating to completion relate to the original build and the recent refurbishment. The asking price is a fixed amount of €349,500.
The property has one bedroom and one bathroom across 38 m² of living space, which restricts its capacity to small households. The plot is 59 m², so outdoor space is limited to the private terrace and communal areas. No private pool, private garden or private parking is included. The building dates from 1970, and communal facilities are shared with other residents and holidaymakers.

This property fits a buyer seeking a small, low-maintenance home near the beach that can be used immediately. Because it is delivered furnished and renovated, it suits purchasers who do not want to coordinate builders or interior work in Spain. The tourist rental licence makes it relevant for buyers who intend to let the home to holiday guests during periods of absence, subject to local regulations in force at any given time. The single bedroom and 38 m² of living space mean the home is practical for one or two people, a couple, a solo owner or a small family's second residence, rather than for larger households or buyers needing separate work and guest rooms. The walkable surroundings suit those who prefer not to depend on a car for daily needs: beach, supermarket, pharmacy and village centre are all within walking distance. Buyers seeking a private garden, private pool or dedicated parking will not find those elements here; the outdoor space consists of the private terrace and the communal grounds. The location between La Cala de Mijas and the golf courses of El Chaparral and Cerrado del Águila also makes it a base for golfers who accept compact accommodation in exchange for proximity to the fairways.
The property was completely renovated approximately one year before listing and is described as being in excellent condition. The interior combines a living area with a kitchenette and bar seating, finished with marble flooring and a beamed ceiling visible in the living space, a detail typical of older Andalusian buildings modernised in recent years. The home is sold fully furnished, which reduces the remaining investment after purchase. Climate control is present in the form of air conditioning units that provide both hot and cold air, covering heating and cooling across the seasons. Satellite TV and WiFi are installed. The bathroom was renewed as part of the renovation. It should be noted that the building dates from 1970; while the interior has been refurbished, the construction age means that elements such as insulation, glazing and building services follow the standards of the original build combined with the recent renovation, rather than current new-build regulations. Buyers attaching weight to energy performance may wish to verify this during a viewing. The outdoor area consists of a private, west-facing terrace within a courtyard setting with planting, plus shared use of the communal swimming pool, children's pool and bowls green. No private parking space or storage room is listed among the features.
The asking price is fixed at €349,500. This concerns an existing home completed in 1970 and renovated approximately one year ago, delivered furnished and in key-ready condition, including a tourist rental licence. The price reflects a small-scale property: 38 m² of living space, one bedroom and one bathroom on a 59 m² plot, with use of communal facilities. For comparison, new-build projects in the wider region currently advertise from prices of €205,000 in Mijas, €269,000 in Estepona and €269,950 in Torre del Mar, although those projects differ in type, size and specification from this resale property.
Daily life around this townhouse is organised around the coast. The beach is a few hundred metres away in a direct line, and the recently extended promenade connects the El Chaparral area with the centre of La Cala de Mijas, where restaurants, cafés, shops and supermarkets are located. A supermarket sits roughly 400 metres from the door and a pharmacy under 300 metres, so routine errands do not require a car. The home itself functions as a compact base: a living area with a kitchenette, one bedroom and a bathroom, extended by a west-facing terrace that catches afternoon and evening sun. That orientation shapes the daily rhythm, mornings indoors or at the beach, afternoons on the terrace. The development includes a communal swimming pool, a children's pool, a bowls green and an on-site bar, which creates a social setting during the warmer months. Air conditioning provides cooling in summer and heating in winter. The area is urban and walkable, with about fifty public transport stops and four lines serving the wider municipality, plus a train connection via Fuengirola station 6 km away as the crow flies. The tourist rental licence allows the property to be let to holiday guests when not in use by the owner, a relevant factor for anyone considering occasional occupancy.
The immediate surroundings are urban and well-served. Within two kilometres, the area counts roughly 26 restaurants, 15 cafés, 6 banks, 2 pharmacies and a school, alongside 10 hotels with about 2,100 beds, an indication of the area's touristic character, particularly in summer. Daily provisions are close at hand: the supermarket is around 400 metres away as the crow flies and the pharmacy under 300 metres. Healthcare is available at two health centres in the area, with the hospital 12 km away in a direct line. The nearest beach, Playa de La Cala - El Torreón, lies about 300 metres from the property. The recently extended promenade runs along the coast into the centre of La Cala de Mijas, giving residents a car-free route to the village. The Polideportivo de La Cala sports centre is 0.6 km away, and padel and tennis clubs sit within about 2.5 km. For public transport, four lines and roughly fifty stops serve the area, and the railway stations of Fuengirola and Carvajal are 6 and 10 km away respectively in a direct line. Málaga Airport is 25 km as the crow flies, or roughly 24 km measured directly to the terminal.

The village belongs to the municipality of Mijas, a district with approximately 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale and new-build market. Compared with the large urban centres of Marbella and Málaga, La Cala de Mijas retains a village scale while offering urban services, a combination reflected in its popularity with both permanent residents and holiday homeowners.
The property's position makes most amenities reachable on foot or by bicycle. The beach at El Torreón is roughly 300 metres away as the crow flies, with two further beaches within about one kilometre. Golfers reach El Chaparral Golf Club at 2.0 km in a direct line, Cerrado del Águila at 3.1 km and Santana Golf at 4.9 km. Marbella lies 18 km away and Málaga city 34 km, both measured straight-line, so road distances and travel times are longer. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is approximately 24-25 km in a direct line, an important factor for international owners making short trips. An electric-vehicle charging point sits 3.2 km away. Public transport consists of four bus lines with around fifty stops; the nearest railway connection is Fuengirola station at 6 km straight-line.

La Cala de Mijas lies at approximately 55 metres above sea level, with a moderate gradient of about 3.4% between the property and the beach, walkable for most people, though not entirely flat. The climate is Mediterranean: average monthly temperatures range from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.5°C. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around five months, generally from late spring to early autumn. This gives the terrace and the communal pool genuine seasonal use rather than year-round function, although the beach and promenade remain usable throughout the year. The west-facing orientation of the private terrace aligns with the climate: afternoon and evening sun during the warmer months, while air conditioning handles both summer heat and the mild winter periods. The village marks 32 local public holidays per year, reflecting an active local calendar of festivities.

Within the regional market, this property competes on proximity and readiness rather than size. New-build alternatives currently advertised nearby include Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000. Those projects generally offer newer construction standards, longer delivery timelines and, in some cases, more floor area per euro, but they involve purchase from plan or early phase, with the associated waiting period and completion risk. This townhouse, at a fixed €349,500, sits above those entry prices while offering something they cannot: immediate availability, a completed renovation and a furnished interior. Its 38 m² of living space and single bedroom are nonetheless considerably smaller than what most new-build competitors provide at similar or lower price points, so the premium paid here reflects location and turnkey condition rather than volume. Locationally, La Cala de Mijas occupies a central Costa del Sol position, 18 km from Marbella, 25 km from the airport and 6 km from Fuengirola station in a direct line, which is more central than Torre del Mar or Estepona for buyers prioritising airport access and Marbella connections. The municipality records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, one of the more active markets on the coast, supporting liquidity for resale. The tourist rental licence adds a practical dimension: the area's ten hotels and roughly 2,100 beds indicate established holiday demand, which is the same demand a licensed rental property can serve. Buyers comparing options should weigh the trade-off directly: newer and larger further from the beach and completion date, or smaller, older and immediately usable at walking distance from the shore.
