This townhouse configuration addresses functional living requirements through its three-floor layout, providing distinct zones for daily activities. The ground floor accommodates social and utility functions with kitchen, living-dining area, and direct access to the outdoor patio. The first floor offers private sleeping quarters, while the basement provides flexible space that can adapt to changing needs, whether for storage, guests, or leisure activities.
Although not a new development, having been completed in 2007, the property presents as a well-maintained residence with specific refurbishments including guest toilet and solarium upgrades. Its established status offers the advantage of a mature community environment with fully developed landscaping and proven construction quality. No building phases or future construction planning affect this property.
The property does not offer sea views due to its inland position approximately 4 km from the coastline. As a townhouse arrangement, it shares walls with neighbouring properties, limiting some privacy compared to detached villas. The development does not include private swimming facilities, relying instead on the communal pool. No elevator access exists between the three floors, which may present mobility considerations.
This property suits those seeking a residence that balances private outdoor space with community amenities. It fits individuals or couples who value the security of a gated complex with 24-hour surveillance, particularly when occupying the property seasonally. The corner position with enhanced natural light and cross-ventilation appeals to those sensitive to air quality and natural lighting in their living environment. The proximity to both urban amenities and coastal leisure activities makes it suitable for those who wish to transition easily between daily necessities and recreational pursuits. Its three-floor layout accommodates those who prefer distinct separation between living, sleeping, and utility areas. Buyers seeking a move-in ready property without waiting for construction completion will find this established residence appropriate for their timeline requirements.
The property demonstrates solid construction quality typical of 2007 developments, with notable features including the travertine stone façade that provides both aesthetic appeal and durability. Interior finishes include wood-effect porcelain flooring on the upper level, offering visual warmth with practical maintenance benefits. The property incorporates double-glazing throughout, enhancing thermal and acoustic insulation. Recent refurbishments have updated certain elements, particularly the guest toilet and solarium areas with contemporary porcelain flooring. The kitchen is fully fitted with essential appliances including oven, ceramic hob, extractor hood, refrigerator, and washing machine. The rooftop solarium has been upgraded with modern materials, and the inclusion of a log-burning fireplace provides supplementary heating during cooler months. While the property shows its age in some aspects, the maintenance and selected updates demonstrate attention to preserving functional quality.
Priced at €415,000, this property represents the mid-range within Mijas townhouse options. When compared to similar developments in the area, it positions above Balance Nova (from €320,000) and Coral Residencial (from €345,000) but aligns closely with Jardines de las Lagunas II (from €411,600). The price reflects the property's corner position, enhanced outdoor spaces including private patio and solarium, plus the benefits of the established community infrastructure with security and shared amenities. The inclusion of a private garage adds value in this urban location where parking can present challenges.
Living in this townhouse follows a rhythm shaped by its practical layout and surroundings. Mornings typically begin with natural light entering through the northeast-facing windows, while the ground floor facilitates morning routines with its kitchen access and direct outdoor connection to the private patio. The living-dining area serves as the daytime hub, with the log-burning fireplace providing warmth during cooler winter evenings. The corner position reduces noise from adjoining neighbours, enhancing the sense of tranquillity within the urban setting. Afternoons often transition to the rooftop solarium for relaxation or the communal pool area for recreation. Evenings might involve strolling to nearby amenities or utilising the paddle tennis courts within the complex, followed by the convenience of returning to an already-established home with no waiting for completion or settling into a new development.

When compared to similar townhouse developments in Mijas, this property sits within the mid-to-upper price bracket. Balance Nova offers entry points from €320,000, while Coral Residencial begins at €345,000, making this €415,000 property approximately 20-23% more expensive. However, the premium reflects specific advantages including the corner position, private outdoor spaces, and inclusion of a garage. In contrast to Jardines de las Lagunas II (from €411,600), the pricing is comparable but this property offers a more established community environment having been completed in 2007 rather than being newer construction. Compared to properties further inland in Mijas Pueblo, this location provides easier access to beaches and coastal amenities, though at a higher price point than more rural settings. The property represents a balance between the premium coastal properties of Marbella to the east and the more urban but less expensive options further from the shoreline.
