Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in a residential urbanisation between Mijas Pueblo and Fuengirola, roughly 6 minutes by car from the village and 8 to 15 minutes from Fuengirola centre. A supermarket (294 m) and pharmacy (283 m) are within walking distance, and the nearest beaches lie about 4.3 to 4.6 km away in a straight line. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 17 km distant as the crow flies.
The house accommodates three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 276 m² of living space, arranged over two floors with an independent guest apartment of 33 m² containing its own bathroom and kitchenette. Terraces on several levels, a solarium with glass curtains and a south-west orientation provide outdoor living space for most of the day. Off-road parking is available on the driveway.
This is an existing home, completed in 2003 and currently key-ready. The internal condition is mixed: parts are in good order, while the seller states that general renovation is required. Buyers should budget for modernisation works alongside the purchase. No delivery date applies, as the property is available in its present state.
The property requires general renovation, which affects both budget and timing. The plot is limited to 202 m², so garden space is modest; the land with fruit trees on the south side is of private use but not registered. Parking is on the driveway and communal road, there is no private garage. The gradient towards the beach is moderate at 4.9%, and steps connect the levels of the house.

This property suits buyers who prioritise space, views and flexibility over a turnkey finish. Recognisable situations include: a household that wants three bedrooms plus a separate guest apartment for visiting family or rental income; a buyer with renovation budget who prefers to modernise a 2003 build to personal specifications rather than pay new-build premiums; and anyone seeking a south-west orientation with panoramic views over Fuengirola and the sea. It also fits buyers who want proximity to services without being in a tourist centre, the urbanisation is residential, with a supermarket and pharmacy within 300 metres, while Mijas Pueblo and Fuengirola remain a short drive away. Households with children will find 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the municipality, plus two health centres. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a lock-and-leave finish, a large private garden on registered land, or a private garage. The plot is 202 m² and parking is on the driveway. The moderate gradient and internal steps also matter for anyone with limited mobility.
The house dates from 2003 and reflects the construction standards of that period. On the main floor, marble floors run throughout, and the lounge has a Danish fireplace with access to a terrace fitted with awnings. Windows are double glazed, and roller blinds are installed on the main windows. The kitchen is a fully fitted rustic model with a ceramic hob and dishwasher; all installations in the house are electric. The lower level has laminate wood-effect flooring, built-in wardrobes and split air conditioning units providing hot and cold air. The solarium-style multipurpose room is enclosed with glass curtains, extending its usable season. The guest apartment has its own bathroom, kitchenette and air conditioning unit. Condition-wise, the listing records a mixed picture: parts of the house are in good or fair order, but general renovation is required. Buyers should commission a technical survey covering the electrics, plumbing and damp, as would be prudent for any property of this age. The community itself is described as well maintained, and the shared areas of the gated complex are kept in order. There is a large private storage room accessible via illuminated steps, ventilated by a skylight.
The asking price is fixed at €480,000 for the property in its current condition. This is not a new-build price list; the figure covers the house, guest apartment, terraces and the gated community's shared facilities as they stand. Buyers should add renovation costs, as general modernisation is required. Recurring costs are low for the region: community fees are €15 per month and the annual IBI property tax is €635. For context, comparable new-build projects in Mijas currently start at roughly €345,000 to €490,000, though those figures apply to different property types and specifications.
Daily life here revolves around a residential hillside setting with views and proximity to everyday services. The house is entered on the main floor, where a lounge with a Danish fireplace opens onto a covered terrace with awnings facing the coast. The rustic kitchen is fully fitted and leads to a large multipurpose room enclosed by glass curtains, currently used as a study or second dining area, which functions as an indoor-outdoor space throughout the year. A bedroom and a full bathroom sit on this level, finished with marble floors. The lower floor contains two further bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a second full bathroom and laminate wood-effect flooring. Split hot-and-cold air conditioning units serve the bedrooms, and the main windows have double glazing and roller blinds. Steps at the front lead down to a private storage room, with the passage lit and ventilated by a skylight. The independent guest apartment, with its own bathroom, kitchenette and air conditioning, opens onto a sunny terrace suited to outdoor dining. It can serve visiting family or be let separately, subject to local regulations. The routine is practical: shops and a pharmacy are a few minutes' walk away, Mijas Pueblo is a short drive for restaurants and village life, and the beaches and marina of Fuengirola are reachable in roughly 8 to 15 minutes by car.
The urbanisation sits on the Mijas hillside at roughly 213 metres above sea level, between the white-washed village of Mijas Pueblo and the coastal town of Fuengirola. The immediate surroundings are residential and relatively quiet, with around 29 restaurants, three cafés, four banks and a pharmacy within two kilometres, enough for daily needs without depending on the car for every errand. For larger trips, Fuengirola centre is 8 to 15 minutes away by car, offering the full range of urban services, a marina at Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola (5.2 km straight-line) and a railway station (4.8 km straight-line) on the Cercanías line to Malaga. Public transport in the municipality covers seven lines with 69 stops, so a car is convenient but not essential for everything. Healthcare is covered by two health centres in Mijas and a hospital 6.6 km away as the crow flies. The area has 266 sports facilities, including the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club 2.0 km away and Karting Mijas at 2.7 km. Mijas municipality counted 95,104 inhabitants in 2025, giving the area year-round substance rather than a purely seasonal character.

Fuengirola, the nearest coastal town, supplies beaches, rail links and a marina. This between-position, hillside residential calm with two larger employment and service centres at equal distance, defines the location within the wider Costa del Sol.

Mijas enjoys an average annual temperature of 17.8 °C, with monthly averages ranging from 14 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20 °C or above, lasts about four months. The house stands at 213 metres elevation with a south-west orientation, which favours afternoon and evening sun on the terraces, a practical benefit for outdoor living between spring and autumn. The slope towards the sea is moderate at 4.9%, meaning the panoramic views come with a gradient: the walk to local shops is manageable, but the return involves an incline. On clear days the listing notes visibility as far as the Moroccan coastline across the Strait, alongside the Sierra de Mijas mountains behind the property. Several viewpoints, including Mirador Juan Antonio Gómez Alarcón at 1.6 km, offer walks with coastal vistas.

Within Mijas, this property competes with both resale homes and new-build developments. Comparable new projects include Coral Residencial (from €345,000), Jardines de las Lagunas II (from €411,600) and Electus (from €490,000). Those figures are starting prices for new construction, generally with modern specifications, energy performance and communal facilities, but typically smaller surface areas than the 276 m² offered here. The trade-off is condition. This house requires general renovation, so the effective cost lies above the €480,000 asking price once works are included. What the buyer receives in exchange is space, three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a self-contained 33 m² guest apartment, plus a south-west orientation and panoramic coastal views that new developments in the flatter, lower-lying areas of Mijas do not always provide. Positionally, the urbanisation sits closer to Mijas Pueblo than the coastal new-build zones, at 6 minutes by car to the village, while retaining access to the beaches and station of Fuengirola within 10 to 15 minutes. The municipality records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market, relevant for future liquidity. Compared with Marbella 24 km to the west, price levels in Mijas are generally lower, and compared with central Fuengirola the setting is quieter and more residential. Buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives should compare total cost including renovation, surface area, view quality and the flexibility of the guest apartment.
