This corner townhouse stands in El Coto, a residential urbanisation in the municipality of Mijas, Málaga. The property was completed in 1988, offers three bedrooms, one bathroom and a guest toilet across roughly 96 m² of living space, and carries a fixed asking price of €349,500. Key-ready and in good condition, it includes a private parking space, a communal swimming pool, a 14 m² enclosed front patio and a roughly 40 m² roof terrace with views towards Fuengirola, Mijas Golf and Mijas Pueblo. Shops, restaurants and public transport are within walking distance, and the beaches of the Costa del Sol lie under five kilometres away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house sits in El Coto, an established urbanisation between Mijas Pueblo and Fuengirola. A supermarket lies about 294 metres away and roughly twenty-nine restaurants operate within two kilometres. The A7 motorway is a few minutes away by car. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, is 4.3 km away in a straight line, and Málaga airport approximately 17 km.
The layout serves practical year-round living: a fitted kitchen with the option to open it to the living and dining area, three bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom with a new walk-in shower, and a separate downstairs toilet. Outdoor space comprises the enclosed front patio for morning sun and a large private terrace with an outside kitchen. Air conditioning provides both hot and cold climate control.
This is an existing home, completed in 1988, offered key-ready with a fixed asking price rather than a new-build price list. The condition is recorded as good, with documented updates including the walk-in shower. Viewing and purchase can proceed on the standard resale schedule; no construction phases or off-plan payments apply.
The property has a single full bathroom plus a guest toilet, which some households may find limiting. There is no private pool; swimming is via the communal pool. Built in 1988, the house reflects the dimensions and construction standards of its period rather than contemporary new-build specifications. A moderate gradient of roughly 4.9% separates the house from the coast.
This property suits several recognisable situations. A couple or small family seeking a year-round base on the Costa del Sol will find walking-distance shopping, schools nearby and rail access to Málaga practical for permanent residence. Buyers wanting a second home within short travelling distance of the airport, about a 20-minute drive, can arrive, park in the private space and be settled within the hour. Households that prioritise outdoor living over interior floor area may value the combined 50-plus square metres of patio and terrace, an unusual volume for this price bracket. Golfers benefit from the position between Mijas Golf (5.7 km), Los Lagos and Los Olivos (about 6 km), all reachable in under ten minutes by car. Buyers who need two full bathrooms or a private pool should, however, look elsewhere or budget for modification. Those who prefer brand-new construction and modern energy performance may also find 1988-era housing a compromise, despite the documented good condition and updated shower. Finally, the single full bathroom is a consideration for households with three occupied bedrooms. In short, the house fits buyers who weigh location, terrace space and price per square metre more heavily than new-build finishes or en-suite accommodation.
The house dates from 1988 and is recorded in good condition, with maintenance and updates documented in the key installations. The bathroom upstairs has been refurbished with a new walk-in shower. The kitchen is fully fitted and could be opened to the living and dining room, a modification that would require builder input but is structurally plausible given the layout description. Climate control is present through an air conditioning unit providing both hot and cold air, supplemented by the orientation of the outdoor spaces: the enclosed east-facing patio captures morning sun, while the west and south-west orientation of the terrace delivers afternoon and evening light. All three bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, adding usable storage beyond the separate storage room listed among the features. The terrace contains an outside kitchen, boiler and washing machine in one corner, concentrating utility functions outdoors and freeing interior space. Practical details worth noting for a 1988 building: a buyer's survey can verify insulation standards, electrical installation and window quality, which predate current technical building codes. Access to the plot is via stairs or a ramp. The private parking space is included, and the communal pool is maintained collectively. Overall, the finishing level is consistent with a well-kept resale property of its generation rather than a renovated premium product.
The asking price is €349,500, fixed for this existing home rather than presented as a starting price. For context, new-build projects currently on the market in Mijas advertise from-price lists ranging from €249,900 (Laguna One) to €320,000 (Balance Nova), meaning this resale townhouse is positioned at or above the entry level of the new-build segment while offering more space per euro than many off-plan apartments. The price includes a private parking space and use of the communal pool. Completion dates and transaction timelines for a resale purchase are indicative and depend on the standard notarial process.
Daily life in this townhouse follows a pattern typical of the Mijas-Fuengirola residential belt, where urban convenience and coastal leisure sit close together. Mornings can begin on the 14 m² enclosed front patio, which catches the morning sun before the terrace shifts to evening shade. The supermarket under 300 metres away makes routine shopping a walk rather than a drive, and the cluster of restaurants, cafés and banks within two kilometres covers most everyday needs without leaving the neighbourhood. The ground floor works as a single living zone: the fitted kitchen can be opened to the dining and living room, which in turn leads onto the large terrace. With an outside kitchen, boiler and washing machine in one corner, that terrace functions as a second living and laundry area, with space for sunbeds and a dining table alongside panoramic views over Fuengirola, Mijas golf course and Mijas Pueblo, with partial sea views. Upstairs, the three bedrooms all have fitted wardrobes and the master has a small balcony. The communal pool provides swimming without private maintenance obligations. A car is useful but not essential here: seven public transport lines and 69 stops serve the municipality, and the Cercanías rail stations of Fuengirola and Carvajal are 4.8 and 4.9 km away respectively, connecting the area to the coast and to Málaga. The beaches around Torreblanca and Los Boliches are a short drive, and the A7 puts Marbella and Málaga within easy reach. Access to the property itself is via stairs or a ramp.
El Coto sits in the stretch of Mijas that functions as a residential extension of Fuengirola, roughly 213 metres above sea level with a moderate gradient of about 4.9% down to the coast. This elevation produces the panoramic views over Fuengirola and Mijas Pueblo described from the terrace, while keeping the beaches within a five-kilometre straight-line radius. The immediate surroundings are urban with services on foot: the supermarket at 294 metres, a pharmacy 3.9 km away, a bank within the two-kilometre amenity cluster, and the hospital at 6.6 km. El Corte Inglés is within walking distance according to the listing. Mobility is flexible. A car is handy for the beach, golf and airport runs, but 69 public transport stops on seven lines plus the Fuengirola and Carvajal stations reduce dependence on driving. The A7 is a few minutes away by car, linking west to Marbella (24 km straight-line) and east to Málaga (24 km). Schools are well represented, with fifteen primary and ten secondary institutions across the municipality, and two health centres serve local residents. The area remains active outside the summer season given its permanent population and year-round services.
The map shows the property in El Coto, set back from the coast at about 213 metres elevation between Mijas Pueblo and Fuengirola. Beaches lie between 4.3 and 5.2 km away in a straight line; golf courses, rail stations and the airport surround the urbanisation. All mapped distances are direct, as the crow flies.

Within the western Costa del Sol, this property occupies a middle position between the white village of Mijas Pueblo on the mountainside and the coastal town of Fuengirola. Málaga and Marbella both lie 24 km away in straight-line terms, east and west respectively, giving balanced access to the region's two principal urban centres. Algeciras and Gibraltar lie far to the west at 79-89 km. The municipality counts 95,104 inhabitants (2025) and records roughly 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active, liquid resale market.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances and travel times are longer. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, lies 4.3 km away, with Playa Torreblanca at 4.7 km and Playa de los Boliches at 5.2 km. The listing states the beach is under ten minutes away by car.

The Mijas climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 17.8°C and monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coolest months to 26°C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months. At 213 metres elevation with a moderate 4.9% gradient to the sea, the property enjoys cooler evenings than the immediate waterfront while remaining within a short drive of it. The setting is listed as close to forest, reflecting the green belt on the Mijas mountainside above the urbanisation; viewpoints such as Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón (1.6 km) and Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu (1.9 km) mark walking routes into this terrain. Mountain views are recorded from the property itself. Sunshine hours on this stretch of coast are among the highest in Spain, which matters directly for the west and south-west facing terrace described in the listing.

The coastline around Fuengirola and Mijas offers a range of beaches within a narrow band: Torreblanca-Carvajal (4.3 km), Torreblanca (4.7 km), Los Boliches (5.2 km) and Playa de San Francisco (4.9 km) are the closest to the house. Mijas municipality itself holds five Blue Flag beaches, Calahonda (Riviera), Calahonda I, El Bombo, El Chaparral and La Cala, reflecting consistent water quality and services along its shore. Recreation beyond the beach is well developed: the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club is 2.0 km away, Karting Mijas at 2.7 km, and the municipality counts 266 sports facilities in total. Golfers can choose between at least four courses within a 6.3 km radius. Fuengirola marina (5.2 km) adds sailing and waterfront dining. For quieter outdoor time, the forested slopes and miradores above the urbanisation provide walking terrain immediately behind the house.

Set against current supply in Mijas, this townhouse occupies a distinct position in the market. New-build alternatives in the same municipality advertise from-price lists of €249,900 at Laguna One, €294,000 at Hipódromo Mijas and €320,000 at Balance Nova. At a fixed €349,500, this resale property sits at the upper end of that band, but the comparison is not straightforward: those figures typically represent apartment typologies at entry level, whereas this listing delivers a corner townhouse with roughly 96 m² indoors, over 50 m² of private outdoor space across patio and terrace, a private parking space and a communal pool. Buyers effectively trade new-build energy performance and modern finishes for space, orientation and an established neighbourhood with mature infrastructure. The location itself is a differentiator within the western Costa del Sol. El Coto combines walking-distance urban services, supermarket at 294 metres, El Corte Inglés reachable on foot, with a hillside position that new coastal developments cannot replicate at this price. Distances to the coast are comparable to Fuengirola itself (beaches 4.3-5.2 km) while retaining mountain and golf views. Regionally, Mijas records about 3,800 housing transactions per year, one of the most active municipal markets on the coast, which supports resale liquidity. Median provincial income of €16,450 contextualises local purchasing power and the weight of international buyers in this segment. For households weighing this property against off-plan alternatives, the decisive factors are the single full bathroom, the 1988 construction date and the certainty of immediate delivery against the deferred completion and developer specifications of new projects.
