This semi-detached townhouse stands in lower Riviera del Sol, within a gated community of fourteen homes between Fuengirola and Marbella. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 142 m² of living space, built in 1970 and now available key-ready and fully furnished. The asking price is fixed at €535,000. The house includes a private terrace and garden, a covered terrace, air conditioning, a fitted kitchen and a private off-street parking space, with a communal pool a few steps from the front door.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Riviera del Sol sits on the Mijas Costa stretch between Fuengirola and Marbella. Marbella lies 16 km away as the crow flies, Fuengirola train station 3.7 km. The nearest beach, Playa del Castillo, is 3.8 km in a straight line. Two golf courses, Los Lagos and Cerrado del Águila, are within 1.6 km of the community.
The layout serves practical year-round living: a fitted kitchen, lounge and dining room on the ground floor opening onto a terrace and private garden, with three bedrooms upstairs, one currently used as an office. Air conditioning, fibre optic, fitted wardrobes, a storage room and an ensuite bathroom cover daily household needs.
This is an existing home completed in 1970, not a new-build development. The construction status is key-ready: the property is delivered furnished and can be occupied directly after purchase. Buyers should expect the construction standards and layout typical of a 1970s building that has since been updated.
The property does not offer a private pool; swimming is communal. There is no underfloor heating or heat pump listed, and the house was built in 1970, so insulation and construction techniques differ from current new-build standards. The garden is described as small and the community consists of only fourteen houses, which limits on-site facilities.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family seeking a permanent base on the Costa del Sol benefits from three bedrooms, nearby primary and secondary schools in the wider Mijas area, and healthcare centres within reach. Buyers wanting a furnished holiday home that can be locked up between visits will find the gated community of fourteen houses and the turn-key condition practical. Remote workers can use the third bedroom as an office, supported by fibre optic connectivity. Active residents benefit from the tennis and padel club next door and two golf courses within 1.6 km. It is less obvious for buyers who want a private pool, a large plot or a contemporary new-build standard, or those who want to live entirely without a car in a dense urban centre.
The house was completed in 1970 and has since been modernised; it is presented in good condition and fully furnished. The interior combines tiled floors with terracotta in the hallway, a modernised bathroom, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms and a fully fitted kitchen with appliances. Climate control consists of air conditioning units and a fireplace, allowing both summer cooling and supplementary winter heating, though the absence of central heating or underfloor systems is a factor to weigh for full-time winter residence. The ensuite bathroom serves the master bedroom, and a separate storage room provides space for luggage, garden furniture and sports equipment. Fibre optic is installed, supporting streaming and home office use. Construction-wise, a 1970s townhouse has solid masonry walls and traditional methods; insulation values and window performance will not match current building codes, so buyers planning renovation or an energy upgrade should factor this into their budget. The terrace is covered, extending usable outdoor time in shoulder seasons and light rain. The garden is compact and enclosed, prioritising privacy over space. The community maintains the shared pool and common areas, with costs shared among the fourteen households.
The asking price is fixed at €535,000 for the property as a whole, including furniture and the private parking space. This is an existing resale home, so there is no price list by unit type and no phase pricing. Buyers comparing with regional new-build projects should note that comparable developments start from roughly €205,000 in Mijas, €269,950 in Torre del Mar and €321,000 in Estepona, although those prices apply to different product types and locations. Viewings are by appointment and the seller indicates that reasonable offers will be considered. Delivery is immediate upon completion of the purchase.
Daily life at this townhouse is organised around the terrace and garden. The ground floor connects the lounge and dining area to the outdoors through full glass doors, so meals, reading and evening time can move between inside and outside for much of the year. With a south to south-west orientation, the outdoor spaces receive afternoon and evening sun, which suits both winter stays and long summer evenings. The first floor holds two double bedrooms and a single room currently in use as an office, a configuration that works for a family, for guests, or for remote work combined with living space. The communal pool sits a few steps from the house, which lowers the barrier to a daily swim during the roughly five-month season when sea and pool water exceed 20°C. A private parking space within the gated community removes the search for street parking, a practical point in a coastal area that gets busy in summer. Within a minute's walk there is a tennis and padel club with a restaurant and gym, and the immediate area counts several restaurants and two pharmacies within two kilometres. The neighbourhood sits at low elevation with a flat gradient towards the coast, so walking and cycling are straightforward. Riviera del Sol is a residential zone rather than a town centre: shops, larger services and the beach at Playa del Castillo are reachable, but daily life involves short trips by car or on local transport. The house is fully furnished, which shortens the move-in process for buyers who want a turn-key arrival.
The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with short distances to leisure infrastructure. Within 2.4 km there are three sports centres, including Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 km and Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas at 2.4 km. Three beaches lie 3.8 km away in a straight line, with the coastal road connecting them in a few minutes by car. Fuengirola's marina and train station are roughly 3.7 to 4.3 km away, giving access to the Cercanías line towards Málaga. The area counts around 2,000 hotel beds, indicating a seasonal influx of visitors in summer and a quieter rhythm from October to April. Five restaurants within two kilometres and two pharmacies cover basic daily needs, while larger shopping is concentrated in Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies the central stretch of Mijas Costa, between Fuengirola to the north-east and Marbella 16 km to the south-west. This position gives residents access to two of the Costa del Sol's principal urban economies: Marbella with roughly 148,000 inhabitants and Málaga city, the regional capital, at 35 km. The area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market. Compared with Estepona further west or Torre del Mar to the east, Riviera del Sol trades on centrality rather than frontier growth.
Access is one of the stronger points of this location. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is 21 km away as the crow flies, reachable by car via the A-7 or AP-7 in well under an hour, and the train from Fuengirola station connects towards the city. Gibraltar airport is 75 km away. By car, Marbella is 16 km straight-line and Málaga city 35 km. Public transport consists of four lines with fifty stops in the area, including coastal buses along the A-7, so a car-free stay is partly feasible, though most residents keep a vehicle for groceries and beach trips. The nearest beach is 3.8 km in a straight line; the seller describes a walk of six to seven minutes to the beach, bars and restaurants, which reflects local path layout.

Riviera del Sol lies at 45 metres above sea level with a gradient of 1.1% towards the coast, essentially flat terrain, which makes walking and cycling easy and eliminates steep climbs to the beach. The average annual temperature is 18.6°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in winter to 26°C in summer. The swimming season lasts about five months, when water temperature reaches 20°C or more, roughly from late May to mid-October. Rainfall concentrates in a few winter months; summers are dry and sunny. The Mediterranean climate supports year-round terrace use, especially with the south-facing orientation of the house.

The coastline near Riviera del Sol offers several beaches within a short drive: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral all lie 3.8 km away in a straight line. For boat owners or marina visits, Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola is 4.3 km away and Puerto Cabopino 9.1 km. Golf is a defining feature of the area: Campo Los Lagos is 1.1 km away, with Cerrado del Águila Golf and Campo Los Olivos both about 1.6 km from the house, so three courses sit within a five-minute drive. The R11 tennis and padel club less than a minute's walk away includes a restaurant and a fully equipped gym, covering racquet sports and fitness without needing the car.

Within the Costa del Sol resale market, this townhouse occupies the mid-segment. At €535,000 for 142 m², the price reflects a consolidated Mijas Costa location close to golf, beaches and both Fuengirola and Marbella, rather than new-build premium pricing. Regional new-build comparables underline the difference: Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, all at lower entry points, but for apartments or different locations and without an established garden, furniture and immediate availability. The Riviera del Sol micro-market benefits from roughly 3,800 transactions per year in the wider area, giving resale liquidity uncommon in less developed coastal zones. Location-wise, the property sits nearer to Marbella (16 km) and the airport (21 km straight-line) than Estepona-based alternatives, while Torre del Mar lies on the eastern side of Málaga, further from Marbella. What the 1970 construction does not offer is the thermal performance and layout efficiency of current building codes; buyers comparing with new-build projects should weigh energy costs, window quality and insulation. In exchange, the property delivers something off-plan projects cannot: a finished, furnished home with mature planting, a functioning community of fourteen households and a proven rental or residential track record in an area with steady international demand. For buyers prioritising location and move-in readiness over architectural novelty, the trade-off is straightforward; for those focused on energy efficiency and modern specification, a new-build comparison remains worthwhile.
