This three-bedroom townhouse stands on Calle Castilla in Torre de Benagalbón, a small coastal district in the Rincón de la Victoria municipality, roughly 16 kilometres from Málaga as the crow flies. The home offers 135 m² of built area across two floors, two bathrooms, two terraces with sea views, air conditioning, central heating and a private garage with storage loft. Completed in 1998 and sold fully furnished with a fitted kitchen, it is offered at a fixed asking price of €331,000. The nearest beach, Playa Los Rubios, lies about 600 metres away on foot.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Torre de Benagalbón sits directly on the Mediterranean coast at low elevation, with Playa Los Rubios roughly 600 metres from the front door. The district counts around 2,833 residents and has a pharmacy, a school and a cluster of restaurants and cafés within two kilometres. Málaga lies 16 km away in a straight line, Marbella 62 km. The setting is residential rather than resort-based.
The layout places three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the ground floor, with the living-dining room, kitchen and main terrace above. Air conditioning serves the living room and all bedrooms, and central heating is installed. A utility room, a second terrace with barbecue, and a private garage with loft storage cover practical household needs. The property is delivered fully furnished with appliances included.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Construction was completed in 1998, which places it near the end of the standard Andalusian build cycle for that period. The property is key-ready and described as being in fair condition. Any purchase budgeting should account for the property's age when planning maintenance or renovation work over the coming years.
No swimming pool, garden or communal leisure facilities are listed for this property. There is no lift, and bedrooms are reached via internal stairs. Official registry records show 82 m² of floor area, below the approximate 135 m² built figure that includes courtyard and terrace. The condition is recorded as fair, and the garage sits on a separate street reached by a communal staircase.
This property fits a buyer who wants a ready-to-occupy home near the beach without the wait or the snagging process of a new development. Because it is sold furnished with a fitted kitchen, it can serve as a second home from the first week of ownership, useful for buyers who want a coastal base for holidays and gradually longer stays. It also suits a small household that values outdoor space over interior volume. The terrace arrangement, an upper terrace with sea views and a lower barbecue terrace, supports the Mediterranean outdoor-living pattern, while the 135 m² built figure, of which 82 m² is registered floor area, means interior space is modest rather than generous by villa standards. Families using the local school and amenities year-round will find the walkable layout and the two full bathrooms practical. Investors considering rental use should weigh the property's age and fair condition against its beach proximity and garage, which are strong points in the local letting market. The property is less suited to buyers seeking a modern energy-efficient build, a private pool or step-free ground-floor living, since the bedrooms and bathrooms all sit on the ground floor but the living area is upstairs.
Built in 1998, the house reflects the construction standards of late-nineties Andalusian residential building: cavity-block construction, tiled floors and simple rendered facades. The interior is delivered fully furnished, and the kitchen is fitted with appliances plus a separate utility area, which adds everyday practicality for a household of three to four people. Climate control is better specified than many properties of this vintage. Air conditioning units serve the living room and all three bedrooms, and central heating is installed as well, a combination that covers both the hot coastal summers and the cooler winter months, when temperatures in the region still average around 15°C. This dual system reduces the reliance on standalone electric heaters that is common in older coastal stock. The condition is recorded as fair, which for a 1998 build typically means original or partly updated finishes, functioning systems and cosmetic wear. Photography shows a living-dining room with a modern sofa and an open kitchenette, a bathroom with bathtub and storage, and a conventional fitted kitchen with sink and cabinetry, consistent with a habitable, lived-in home rather than a renovated one. Two bathrooms, both fully fitted, are a practical plus at this size. The covered upper terrace extends usable living space across the seasons, and the private garage with a loft provides storage that coastal townhouses often lack. Buyers planning refurbishment should treat this as a property with sound bones and dated elements rather than a project requiring structural work.
The property is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €331,000. Estate agent fees are included in that figure; notary costs, registration fees and the Andalusian property transfer tax (ITP) are not, as is standard under regional regulations. The price reflects a furnished, key-ready property with two bathrooms, two terraces, sea views and a private garage. For comparison, new-build apartments further along the coast currently start from around €269,950 in Torre del Mar, €205,000 in Mijas and €321,000 in Estepona, though those are apartment projects rather than townhouses with private parking. Buyers should note the registry floor area of 82 m² when comparing prices per square metre.
Daily life here follows the rhythm of a compact, walkable coastal village rather than a purpose-built resort. The house occupies a west-facing position on Calle Castilla, meaning the upstairs living-dining room and its covered terrace receive afternoon and evening sun, suited to late lunches and sunset views over the sea and the hills behind. Because the bedrooms sit on the ground floor, the upper level functions as the daytime living zone, opening onto the terrace through the main reception room. The second, more sheltered terrace with its barbecue area serves as an outdoor extension of the kitchen for much of the year. The immediate surroundings are residential and quiet by Costa del Sol standards. Within two kilometres there are ten restaurants, two pharmacies, a school and a café, so day-to-day errands are largely manageable on foot or by a short drive. A gym sits 400 metres away and a larger sports complex at Benajarafe is 4.4 km distant. The beach is roughly a ten-minute walk, close enough for an evening swim without needing the car. With 3,000 or so residents in the district itself and the larger town of Rincón de la Victoria a short drive along the coast, the area holds its population year-round. Out of the summer season the neighbourhood remains lived-in, which matters for anyone planning to use the house outside peak holiday months. The private garage on Calle Ceuta, one street below, is reached conveniently via a communal staircase, keeping car access and pedestrian access separate and practical.
Torre de Benagalbón forms part of the Rincón de la Victoria coastline, a string of residential districts east of Málaga that are considerably calmer than the resort strips further west. The house sits in a low-rise neighbourhood where the sea is visible from the upper terrace and the beach is a ten-minute walk. Elevation is only six metres, so the terrain is flat, cycling and walking to nearby amenities involve no serious climbs. The immediate catchment is well served for its size: within two kilometres there are ten restaurants, two pharmacies, a school and a café, plus a gym 400 metres away. Larger weekly shopping and services are a short drive towards Rincón de la Victoria or Málaga. Public transport coverage is strong for a settlement of this size, with 17 lines and 50 stops recorded, so car-free living is plausible, though a car adds convenience for exploring the region. Málaga city, with its historic centre, museums, hospital network and high-speed rail connection, lies 16 km away as the crow flies. Marbella is 62 km and Granada 77 km straight-line, placing both within day-trip range. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is roughly 24 km in a straight line, making arrival and departure straightforward for international owners.

Torre de Benagalbón occupies a modest position on the eastern Costa del Sol, between Málaga city (16 km straight-line) and the Axarquía towns stretching towards Nerja. Marbella lies 62 km and Granada 77 km away in a straight line, giving the location a dual character: the cultural and commercial weight of Málaga within easy reach, and quieter, less developed coastal villages to the east. Compared with the western Costa del Sol, this area has lower building density, fewer resort facilities and a stronger year-round Spanish population, which shapes a different living experience for permanent residents.
The nearest beach, Playa Los Rubios, is approximately 600 metres from the house, a ten-minute walk. Two further beaches, Playa Los Claros at 1.1 km and Playa Victoria at 2.0 km, extend the coastal options along the same stretch. All distances are straight-line or walking figures from the source data; road routes may be slightly longer. Málaga Airport (AGP) lies about 24 km away as the crow flies, the most practical gateway for international travel. Gibraltar Airport is roughly 117 km distant and Alicante-Elche about 369 km, both significantly less convenient. For boating, Puerto Deportivo del Candado marina is 8.8 km along the coast. Sports facilities include the Axarquía gym 400 metres away and the Benajarafe sports complex 4.4 km away. With 17 public transport lines and 50 stops in the area, everyday mobility does not strictly require a car, though the private garage makes one easy to keep.

The climate data shows average monthly temperatures ranging from 15°C in the coolest months to 28°C in summer, with an annual average of 18.5°C, a typical eastern Costa del Sol profile. Winters are mild enough for terrace use on many days, particularly given the west-facing orientation, which captures afternoon sun during the shorter days. Summers are warm and dry, and the air conditioning across the living room and bedrooms handles the peak months. The swimming season runs about four months with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, concentrating beach use from late spring to early autumn. At six metres above sea level, the terrain around the house is flat, and the surrounding countryside rises inland towards the hills visible from the upper terrace. Rainfall is concentrated in the cooler half of the year, leaving long dry spells in summer, a pattern that suits low-maintenance outdoor living but makes the barbecue terrace a mainly evening and shoulder-season space in July and August.

The coastal strip near Torre de Benagalbón offers three beaches within two kilometres: Playa Los Rubios at 0.5 km, Playa Los Claros at 1.1 km and Playa Victoria at 2.0 km, all straight-line distances. This density means the beach choice can vary with mood, a quick morning walk to the closest cove or a longer stroll along the shoreline. Water temperatures support roughly four months of comfortable swimming. Recreation beyond the beach centres on sports and boating. The Axarquía gym lies 400 metres from the house and the Complejo Deportivo de Benajarafe 4.4 km away, covering indoor training and municipal facilities. Puerto Deportivo del Candado, 8.8 km to the west, offers a marina for sailing and water-based leisure. No golf courses are listed in the immediate vicinity, which distinguishes this stretch of coast from the golf-dense areas around Marbella and Estepona, a relevant point for buyers who play regularly.

Within the eastern Costa del Sol, this townhouse competes in a different segment from the nearest new-build projects. Aquamar in Torre del Mar starts from €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €321,000. All three are apartment developments with 'from' pricing, whereas the Benagalbón property is an existing home with a fixed €331,000 asking price, a townhouse with a private garage, two bathrooms, two terraces and full furnishing included. That difference matters in practice. A new-build apartment at €321,000 in Estepona may offer modern construction standards, communal pools and developer warranties, but typically without private parking storage of this kind, without sea views from two terraces, and with a completion date rather than immediate occupation. The Benagalbón house trades those advantages for location fundamentals: a ten-minute walk to the beach, a genuine year-round village of under 3,000 residents, and Málaga city 16 km away. Along this stretch of coast, prices per square metre generally sit below Marbella and Estepona levels, reflecting lower building density and fewer resort amenities such as golf courses. For buyers prioritising beach proximity and a Spanish residential atmosphere over gated facilities, the eastern Costa del Sol, and Benagalbón in particular, tends to offer more built space per euro. Against that, the 1998 construction date and fair condition mean refurbishment costs should be budgeted, and the registered floor area of 82 m² is the figure that counts for legal and tax purposes.
