This three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse stands in a small gated community of 26 homes on the edge of Mijas Golf, west of Mijas in the province of Málaga. The 137 m² property was built in 1986 and has since been fully reformed, offering a key-ready home with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, three terraces and a west-facing top-floor principal suite overlooking the golf course and mountains. Air conditioning, heating and a recently installed solar energy system are in place. The asking price is fixed at €394,000.
Within the central Costa del Sol, this property occupies a specific niche: the reformed, low-rise golf-side townhouse, as opposed to new-build apartment product. Comparable new developments in the wider region illustrate the price context. Lantana Residencial in Mijas advertises from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. Those are entry prices for new apartments, typically smaller units without the three-terrace, three-bathroom layout offered here. At a fixed €394,000, this townhouse competes on completeness, a reformed interior, a principal suite on its own floor and a frontline golf position, rather than on price per square metre or novelty. Locationally, Mijas Golf sits in the belt of golf urbanisations between Fuengirola and Mijas village, one of the most established residential zones of the coast. Compared with Estepona, 47 km west towards Marbella and further from the airport, the position is closer to Málaga city and its transport infrastructure, including María Zambrano station and the airport at roughly 7 km straight-line. Compared with Torre del Mar on the eastern Costa del Sol, the western location benefits from a denser concentration of golf courses, marinas and international services, at the cost of a somewhat busier coastal corridor. For buyers weighing a reformed 1980s townhouse against new build, the trade-off is straightforward: new-build offers current construction standards and developer warranties but at rising entry prices and often with apartment-style layouts; this property offers space, views and a mature community with established gardens, on a building envelope that predates current regulations but has been substantially modernised inside. The annual transaction volume of roughly 3,800 sales in the area indicates an active resale market, which matters for future liquidity.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The townhouse sits frontline to the golf course at Mijas Golf, an urbanisation between Mijas and Fuengirola. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport lies roughly 7 km away as the crow flies, and Málaga city centre with its María Zambrano train station is nearby. Shops, schools and healthcare facilities are located within a short drive, making the setting residential rather than remote.
The layout serves households that value space across three levels: an open-plan ground floor with kitchen, dining and lounge, two double bedrooms on the first floor, and a principal suite with en-suite bathroom and private terrace on the top floor. Practical additions include a guest WC, storage under the stairs, a utility room and covered as well as open terraces.
This is not a new-build project. The house was completed in 1986 and has been reformed throughout, with a new kitchen, new bathrooms, double glazing and a solar energy system. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the buyer can take occupation directly after completion of the purchase. No further delivery dates apply.
The property has a communal swimming pool and communal gardens rather than a private pool. There is no private garage mentioned, and the development consists of only 26 homes with shared facilities. The west-facing orientation means the terraces receive sun from around midday onwards, not in the morning. Living area is 137 m², which sets clear limits on room sizes for a three-bedroom layout.
This property fits several recognisable situations. The first is the buyer of a second home on the Costa del Sol who wants a turnkey property: the reform has been completed, the house is key-ready, and the west-facing terraces with golf and mountain views match the classic image of evenings outdoors in southern Spain. A second situation is the household relocating permanently. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms spread over three levels, including a principal suite on its own floor, the layout accommodates a couple plus children or regular guests. Schools are noted as nearby in the feature list, which supports family use. The practical floor plan, utility room, storage, guest WC, is geared towards year-round living rather than occasional holiday use. A third profile is the buyer specifically seeking a golf-side location. Frontline golf position, views over the fairways and proximity to the courses around Mijas and the wider Málaga province are the central locational assets here. Buyers who want a private pool, a flat coastal apartment or a modern high-rise with sea views should look elsewhere, as this house offers communal facilities and an inland golf setting instead. Finally, the solar energy system and recent double glazing may appeal to buyers who factor running costs into their decision, although the 1986 structure means the building fabric predates current new-build standards.
The house has been reformed throughout, and the specification described is contemporary rather than dated. The kitchen is new and fully integrated, with an oven, microwave and induction hob plus extensive storage, an induction hob in particular indicates a modern electrical installation rather than an older gas setup. The bathrooms, including the family bathroom and the en-suite on the top floor, are described as recently installed. Double glazing runs along the patio doors of the living area, and air conditioning with heating is present throughout the house, which covers both temperature control in summer and heating in the cooler months. A newly installed solar energy system has been fitted to supply electricity to the home. For a buyer, this has a direct consequence for running costs, particularly given the west-facing orientation and the afternoon sun load on the upper floors. Combined with double glazing, the systems reduce dependence on grid electricity for daytime consumption. The structural context matters as well: the building dates from 1986, so the reform has been carried out on an existing envelope rather than a new one. What the buyer gets is a recently modernised interior within a mature, established community with landscaped gardens that are described as well maintained. Practical storage is distributed through the house, under-stair cupboard on the ground floor, storage in the principal suite and a separate utility room, which for a 137 m² property is a meaningful amount of ancillary space. WiFi is in place, and the covered terrace extends usable outdoor space into the shoulder seasons.
The asking price is fixed at €394,000. For that amount the buyer acquires a key-ready, fully reformed townhouse of 137 m² with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, three terraces and access to a communal pool and gardens within a gated community of 26 homes. The recent renovation, kitchen, bathrooms, double glazing, air conditioning, heating and solar panels, means there are no immediate refurbishment costs reflected in the purchase decision. As a point of regional comparison, new-build apartments in the wider area currently start from roughly €205,000 in Mijas (Lantana Residencial) and €321,000 in Estepona (Etherna Homes 2), though those are different product types and price structures.
Daily life in this townhouse is organised over three floors, each with a distinct function. The ground floor works as the social core: a single open-plan space combines the kitchen, dining and living areas, with wall-to-wall double-glazed patio doors that open onto the private terrace and garden. The kitchen was newly installed with integrated appliances, including an oven, microwave and induction hob. From the terrace there is direct access to the communal gardens and swimming pool, which removes the barrier between the house and the outdoor space for much of the year. The first floor holds two double bedrooms, one with a Juliet balcony overlooking the protected Parque El Esparragal and the other opening onto a private terrace with pool and golf views, alongside a family bathroom and a separate utility room with the washing machine. The top floor is entirely occupied by the principal suite, with built-in storage, an en-suite bathroom and large doors onto a west-facing terrace. This is the defining space of the house: from around midday until sunset the terrace catches the sun, with panoramic views across the golf course and the mountains behind Mijas. The rhythm of the day follows this orientation. Mornings tend to happen in the kitchen and garden; afternoons and evenings move upstairs to the top terrace. Because the community is small, 26 homes, the gardens and pool are shared with a limited number of neighbours, and the frontline golf position means the view is dominated by greens and fairways rather than built-up areas. The community has recently approved the option to extend the private outdoor area, which gives a future owner room to adapt the plot.
Mijas Golf is a residential urbanisation built around its golf courses, situated inland of Fuengirola and the coast. The immediate surroundings are defined by fairways, the protected Parque El Esparragal and low-density housing, which keeps the area quiet outside peak holiday periods. Everyday needs are covered within a short drive: restaurants, pharmacies, banks and cafés are concentrated in Fuengirola and the neighbouring commercial areas, and fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools are recorded in the wider area, along with two health centres. Transport links are a clear strength of the position. Málaga city centre and its María Zambrano station, with high-speed connections north, lie within easy reach, and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 7 km away as the crow flies, so actual travel distance by road will be somewhat longer. Seven public transport lines and fifty stops serve the wider area, although a car remains the practical choice for daily errands from the golf urbanisation itself. The immediate street environment is that of a gated development: 26 homes, a communal pool and gardens, with the golf course as the main view.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Mijas Golf occupies a position between the village of Mijas, the coastal town of Fuengirola and the A-7 corridor towards Málaga. Málaga city, the regional capital with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, lies to the northeast; Marbella, with about 148,000 inhabitants, sits 47 km to the west along the coast; and Granada is about 90 km away, reachable for weekend trips. This places the property in the central Costa del Sol: the beaches and marinas of Málaga bay on one side, the golf valleys and mountain parks of the interior on the other, with the airport in between. Within this framework, the house represents the inland golf-residential variant of the region rather than the beachfront or high-rise coastal alternatives.
Distances in this section are straight-line and measured to points in the wider Málaga area. The coast is close at hand: Playa de San Andrés lies 1.5 km away, with Playa de la Misericordia at 2.9 km and Playa de los Baños del Carmen at 4.1 km. Two marinas, IGY Málaga Marina at 1.2 km and Marina Real Club Mediterráneo at 1.6 km, offer moorings and waterfront dining. Golf options nearby include Club de Golf Málaga Parador (7.9 km), Club de Golf de Guadalhorce (9.2 km) and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (10.7 km), in addition to the course at the doorstep. Sports facilities are close: a municipal chess centre at 0.2 km, a wellness centre at 0.4 km and a fitness club at 0.7 km. Electric-vehicle charging points are available from about 4 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport sits roughly 7 km away as the crow flies; Gibraltar airport is about 103 km. Train access runs via El Perchel, María Zambrano and Guadalmedina stations.

The climate data for the area shows an average monthly temperature range of 12°C in the coolest month to 27°C in the warmest, with an annual average of 18.9°C, a typical Mediterranean pattern of mild winters and warm, dry summers. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about five months, roughly May through September or October. The elevation is low at 13 metres above sea level, so no significant slopes affect walking or cycling in the immediate area, although the golf course topography and mountain backdrop to the north provide visual relief. The west-facing terraces of this house align with the climate: afternoon and evening sun from around midday until sunset for much of the year, which is when outdoor space is used most in this region. The protected Parque El Esparragal in front of the property adds a green, undeveloped element to the immediate view.

The nearest beach, Playa de San Andrés, lies 1.5 km away as the crow flies, followed by Playa de la Misericordia at 2.9 km and Playa de los Baños del Carmen at 4.1 km, all urban Mediterranean beaches within a short drive of the golf urbanisation. For golfers, the location is central: the home stands frontline to a golf course, and three further clubs, Club de Golf Málaga Parador, Club de Golf de Guadalhorce and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez, lie between roughly 8 and 11 km away. Recreational facilities in the vicinity include a municipal chess centre, a wellness centre and a fitness club, all under a kilometre. Two marinas within about 2 km offer sailing and waterfront leisure. For walkers and cyclists, the protected Parque El Esparragal and the fairways themselves form the closest green space. The area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year and ten hotels with just over 2,100 beds, indicating a permanent residential base that outweighs the tourist footprint.
