A fully renovated three-bedroom, three-bathroom semi-detached house of 175 m² in the Jardines del Golf community at Riviera del Sol, Mijas Costa. The home overlooks Miraflores Golf and the surrounding hills, with sea views from the solarium. The property was completed in 2001 and underwent a six-month renovation including complete rewiring, levelled walls and updated finishes. It forms part of a small gated community with landscaped gardens and a heated communal pool. The asking price is fixed at €849,000 and the house is key-ready, sold fully furnished with underground parking for two cars.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house stands in Riviera del Sol, a residential urbanisation between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Mijas Costa. Marbella lies 16 km away as the crow flies and Málaga 35 km. Three golf courses sit within 1.6 km, the nearest beach at 3.8 km straight-line, and Fuengirola train station 3.7 km. The terrain towards the coast is flat, at roughly 45 m elevation.
The layout serves year-round living: an open-plan living and dining area with a contemporary kitchen and guest WC on the main floor, three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, and two open terraces. Outdoor space includes a terrace off the living room, a patio and a rooftop solarium with pergola. Air conditioning and underfloor heating in the bathrooms cover both seasons. The house is sold fully furnished.
This is an existing home, completed in 2001, not a new-build project. A comprehensive six-month renovation was carried out, covering the electrical installation, wall levelling, finishes and bathroom heating. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the property can be occupied directly after purchase. Completion dates for such transactions depend on the notary schedule and are always indicative.
The community prohibits short-term rentals, which excludes holiday-let income as a use case. Parking is limited to two underground spaces. There is no private pool; swimming facilities are communal and heated. The recorded title deed area is 91.58 m² excluding the covered porches counted in the 175 m² built figure. The beach lies 3.8 km away as the crow flies, so the house is not within walking distance of the sea.
This property suits buyers in several recognisable situations. A retired or semi-retired couple seeking a move-in-ready home without renovation risk will find the completed works, rewiring, levelled walls, updated finishes and bathroom underfloor heating, remove the most common source of unexpected cost in older Spanish properties. Families needing three bedrooms and proximity to schooling benefit from the 15 primary and 10 secondary schools recorded in the area, together with two health centres. Golf players gain direct visual and practical access to the course: Miraflores lies at the doorstep, with Cerrado del Águila and Los Lagos within 1.6 km. Buyers wanting a quiet base for part-year residence will note the short-term rental ban, which keeps the community residential year-round rather than rotating with holiday seasons. The house fits less well for certain profiles. Investors seeking rental yield cannot let it short-term under community rules. Buyers wanting to walk to the beach should account for the 3.8 km straight-line distance. Those preferring new-build warranties should note the 2001 construction date, mitigated but not erased by the renovation. Buyers reliant on public transport will find four lines and 50 stops locally, though a car remains the practical mode for most journeys.
The renovation was comprehensive and documented in scope. The entire electrical installation was rewired, a significant intervention for a 2001 property, addressing the single most expensive hidden defect in older Spanish housing. Walls were levelled and re-finished, which matters visually in the open-plan living area where the kitchen was incorporated into the living room; uneven substrates would show clearly across such continuous surfaces. The bathrooms received underfloor heating, a comfort feature in the cooler months of a coast that averages 18.6°C annually, with monthly means between 14 and 26°C. Air conditioning is installed for the summer. The contemporary kitchen forms part of the open-plan arrangement, and the interior is delivered fully furnished, reducing immediate outlay after purchase. Structurally, the built area of 175 m² includes covered porches; the title deed records 91.58 m² including the allocated share of communal areas, a discrepancy buyers should review with their legal adviser, as deed area and marketed built area are calculated differently in Spain. Outdoor elements include a pergola area on the rooftop solarium and a covered patio, both visible in the property photography. The house is in excellent condition per the listing data, and the condition reflects the recent works rather than original 2001 standards. Two underground parking spaces complete the practical specification.
The asking price is fixed at €849,000 for this existing home; it is not a from-price and there is no unit variation as with new-build developments. The price reflects the completed renovation, the fully furnished delivery and the two underground parking spaces included in the sale. For context, new-build comparables in the region start lower, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those are off-plan apartments rather than a key-ready renovated house on a golf frontline. The property is available immediately upon completion of the standard purchase process.
Daily life at Jardines del Golf revolves around the golf course at the doorstep and the residential rhythm of Riviera del Sol. The house faces south-east, giving the main terrace and solarium morning and midday sun, with views over the greens of Miraflores and the hills beyond; the rooftop solarium adds sea views. A staircase leads directly from the terrace down to the communal gardens and the heated pool, which extends the swimming season beyond the roughly five months when sea water stays at or above 20°C. The interior was restructured during the renovation: the living room was opened up to incorporate a contemporary kitchen, producing one continuous living and dining space suited to both everyday use and entertaining. The main floor holds this open area plus a guest WC; upstairs are three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two open terraces. A basement provides additional space, and underground parking for two cars removes the daily search for a spot. Riviera del Sol itself is an established urbanisation with a mixed international population. Within 2 km there are five restaurants and two pharmacies; 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools serve the wider area, along with two health centres. Four public transport lines with 50 stops cover the locality, though a car remains the practical choice for beach trips and shopping. The setting is quiet by regulation as well as geography: the community bans short-term rentals, which limits transient occupancy and preserves the residential character throughout the year.
The immediate environment combines golf, residential calm and workable access to the coast's amenities. Three golf courses, Los Lagos at 1.1 km, Cerrado del Águila at 1.6 km and Los Olivos at 1.6 km, all straight-line, place the house in one of the denser golf clusters of the western Costa del Sol. Pádel players have Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 1.5 km and Raquetas de Mijas at 2.0 km, with the municipal sports centre of Las Lagunas at 2.4 km. Daily provisions are covered by five restaurants and two pharmacies within 2 km, with broader shopping in Fuengirola, 3.7 km from the house and reachable by car in minutes. Healthcare is available through two health centres in the area, and education through 15 primary and 10 secondary schools, sufficient depth for permanent residence rather than holiday use only. Transport works at several levels. Four bus lines with 50 stops serve the locality. The Cercanías railway terminus at Fuengirola connects towards Málaga, with Carvajal station at 7.2 km as an alternative. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport lies 21 km straight-line away, typically a drive of roughly half an hour; Gibraltar airport is 75 km. For electric vehicle owners, the Fuengirola Supercharger sits 7.7 km away, and the property's underground garage provides two secure spaces.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Riviera del Sol occupies the central stretch of Mijas Costa, positioned between Fuengirola (3.7 km to the railway station) and Marbella (16 km). This places it in the middle band of the Costa del Sol: close enough to Marbella's services and dining for regular use, near enough to Málaga city and its airport (roughly 21 km) for international access, yet set within a golf-and-residential belt rather than a hotel strip. The locality records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market, and the provincial median income of €16,450 provides context for the regional economy rather than for this specific urbanisation.
Distances below are straight-line; road distances run longer. The nearest beaches, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral, all lie 3.8 km away, and the gradient to the coast is a flat 1.1%, making cycling a realistic option. Fuengirola's marina is 4.3 km distant, with the smaller and quieter Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km. Regional centres sit within comfortable range: Marbella at 16 km, Málaga city at 35 km and Algeciras at 78 km. Air access splits between Málaga-Costa del Sol (AGP) at roughly 21 km, the practical airport for most international travel, and Gibraltar (GIB) at 75 km. The railway at Fuengirola, 3.7 km away, offers a car-free link towards the airport via Málaga. A car remains advisable for daily life: the beaches, larger supermarkets and Marbella are all simplest by road, and the house includes two underground parking spaces to support that pattern.

The climate data points to a typical western Costa del Sol profile: an annual mean of 18.6°C with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in winter to 26°C in summer. That spread means heating is needed only modestly, the underfloor bathroom heating and air conditioning cover both ends, while summers support continuous outdoor use of the terraces and solarium. The swimming season runs about five months, during which sea water holds at 20°C or above. The heated communal pool extends usable swimming beyond that window, a practical distinction for residents who use the property outside the peak summer months. The house sits at 45 m elevation with a 1.1% gradient to the sea: essentially flat terrain, so walking and cycling to the coast involve no significant climbs. The south-east orientation places morning sun on the main terrace and midday to afternoon sun on the rooftop solarium, matching the Mediterranean pattern of outdoor breakfasts and shaded afternoons under the pergola. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.9 km away, offers one of the nearby spots for wider coastal views.

Three beaches lie equidistant at 3.8 km: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral. All sit on the Mijas Costa stretch between Fuengirola and La Cala, a sector known for broad sands backed by the coastal promenade; Playa El Chaparral in particular adjoins the dune area near the golf courses. Current Blue Flag status for individual beaches varies by year and should be verified at the time of purchase. Golf is the dominant recreation here. Miraflores Golf lies directly in front of the house, while Los Lagos (1.1 km), Cerrado del Águila (1.6 km) and Los Olivos (1.6 km) give four playable courses within a short drive, a concentration matched by few locations on this coast. Ráquetas and pádel facilities sit within 2 km and the Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas municipal complex at 2.4 km. Water-based recreation includes two marinas: Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 4.3 km for sailing and fishing trips, and Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km, a smaller port with a sheltered anchorage. The area also carries a tourism infrastructure of 10 hotels and 2,131 beds, indicating visitor facilities without the density of the main resort towns.

Within the Costa del Sol market, this property occupies a specific niche: a renovated, key-ready house on a golf frontline, priced at a fixed €849,000. The new-build comparables listed against it start considerably lower, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000, but those figures are from-prices for off-plan apartments, typically with two or three bedrooms and shared facilities, delivered one to two years after purchase. This house offers immediate occupancy, a completed renovation and a title that transfers without construction-period risk. Location-wise, Riviera del Sol sits in the central Mijas Costa band, a quieter and lower-density alternative to Fuengirola's urban front while remaining 16 km from Marbella and roughly 21 km straight-line from Málaga airport, distances comparable to much of the Marbella-Estepona corridor but with a more residential, golf-oriented character. The locality's roughly 3,800 annual housing transactions point to an active resale market with liquidity should an owner later sell. The trade-offs against new-build are concrete. The buyer takes a 2001 structure rather than a ten-year new-build guarantee, mitigated by documented renovation works. The beach at 3.8 km is further than at frontline coastal developments. Against that stand the four golf courses within 1.6 km, the south-east orientation, the rental-ban quiet of a small gated community, and the absence of community-phase uncertainties that off-plan buyers carry. For buyers comparing a finished golf-side house against an off-plan apartment, the choice is largely between immediacy and proven condition on one side and lower entry pricing plus new warranties on the other.
