This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is situated in the residential area of Mirador de la Dehesa in Torrox, in the eastern part of the Costa del Sol. Built in 2010 and now key-ready, the property offers 84 m² of living space with a covered terrace offering unobstructed views, a lift in the building and a private parking space in the garage included in the asking price of €255,000. The apartment is sold fully furnished and has access to a communal pool and communal garden. The centre of Torrox Costa, with its beaches and public services, is approximately 8 minutes away by car.
Within Torrox itself, this resale apartment is priced below the entry point of current new-build developments: Sea View starts at €289,000, Residencial Altair at €305,000 and Residencial Peñoncillo at €320,000, all for new construction near the coast. The €255,000 asking price here therefore reflects the 2010 build year and resale status, while including items that new-build buyers typically pay extra for: a garage space and complete furnishing. Against the wider Costa del Sol, Torrox sits on the eastern, more affordable side of the market. The municipality records about 864 housing transactions per year with roughly 22,000 inhabitants, steady turnover without the volume seen in Málaga city (579,076 inhabitants, 42 km away) or the Marbella belt (147,958 inhabitants, 88 km away). Median income in the province of €16,450 signals a lower-cost local economy than the western coast, which feeds through into prices, running costs and the character of daily life. Where Marbella and Benalmádena offer golf-course living and marina nightlife, Torrox offers a quieter Axarquía setting: villages in the Sierra de Almijara foothills, Blue Flag beaches without high-rise density, and a modest tourism sector of seven hotels. The trade-off is distance from the major facilities, hospitals at 12 km, the main golf cluster 47 km or more away, which buyers comparing locations should weigh against the lower entry price.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment lies inland of the coast in a residential urbanisation near Torrox, roughly 2.3 km as the crow flies from the nearest beach, Playa El Peñoncillo. The setting is urban with amenities within walking distance: a supermarket at 337 m and a pharmacy at 447 m. Málaga airport is 49 km away in a straight line, about 45 minutes by car.
The layout is practical for year-round or seasonal living: two bedrooms, a full bathroom plus a guest toilet, a fully fitted kitchen with terrace access, and a bright living room with sliding doors. A lift serves the first-floor apartment, and a private garage space is included. The covered terrace extends the usable living area for much of the year.
This is a resale property, not a new-build development. Construction was completed in 2010 and the condition is recorded as good. The apartment is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its current finished state, sold fully furnished, without waiting for a construction phase or delivery date.
The property has two bedrooms and 84 m² of living space, which sets limits on household size and space for guests working from home. There is no private pool or private garden; outdoor swimming is via the communal pool, and the nearest golf course is 47 km away as the crow flies. The gradient from the urbanisation towards the beach is moderate at 4.9%.
This apartment fits a buyer who wants a move-in-ready home on the eastern Costa del Sol without a new-build waiting period or premium. A couple seeking a second home will find the two bedrooms, guest toilet and covered terrace sufficient for visits and guests, while the fixed price with furniture and garage included simplifies the purchase. It also suits someone planning partial or full relocation: the supermarket and pharmacy within a few hundred metres, primary and secondary schools in the municipality, and a health centre in Torrox support year-round living on a modest budget. Buyers who want a private pool or a garden of their own should look elsewhere; the outdoor space here is a terrace plus shared facilities. The same applies to golf-oriented buyers, the nearest listed courses are 47 km or more away as the crow flies, so this is not a golf-urbanisation purchase. The property is less obvious for large families: 84 m² and two bedrooms set clear limits. For a single person or a household of two, possibly with occasional guests, the layout works well. Finally, the moderate gradient to the coast matters for buyers with mobility considerations; the lift inside the building is a plus, but the walk to the beach involves a slope.
The building dates from 2010, which places it in the modern Spanish construction era with contemporary insulation standards for its year. The apartment is described as well-kept and in good condition. Windows are double glazed, a feature that supports both thermal comfort in winter and quieter interiors against occasional street or neighbour noise. The kitchen is fully fitted and includes appliances; photo material shows a washing machine in the kitchen-hallway area, indicating laundry facilities inside the apartment rather than in a shared space. Bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, which adds practical storage without freestanding furniture. There are two bathrooms: a full bathroom with bathtub, visible in the photo material, and a separate guest toilet, a layout that works well when guests stay over. The living-dining area is furnished with a sofa and dining table, and the property is sold fully furnished, so the interior as photographed transfers with the purchase. The terrace is covered, making it usable in rain and providing shade in summer. Technically, the apartment has a lift in the building, and a private parking space in the garage is included. Buyers should note that no energy certificate details are reproduced here and should request the technical file from the seller. As with any resale from 2010, a technical inspection can verify the state of installations such as the boiler, electrics and plumbing before purchase.
The asking price is fixed at €255,000 for this existing apartment. That price includes a private parking space in the garage and the complete furniture package, which reduces the additional outlay normally needed after a resale purchase. Compared with new-build developments in the same municipality, where prices start at around €289,000 (Sea View), €305,000 (Residencial Altair) and €320,000 (Residencial Peñoncillo), this property is positioned below the entry price of new construction in Torrox, in exchange for a 2010 build rather than a newly delivered home. The property is key-ready, so no waiting period applies.
Daily life in Mirador de la Dehesa revolves around a quiet residential urbanisation on the slope above Torrox Costa. The apartment sits on the first floor of a building with a lift, and the covered terrace functions as an outdoor room for most of the year, given the region's mild climate and an average annual temperature of 19.1°C. The living room connects to the terrace through sliding doors, and the kitchen also has direct terrace access, which suits both everyday meals outside and longer evenings with mountain views. Grocery shopping is a short walk: the supermarket is 337 m away and a pharmacy 447 m, so basic errands do not require a car. Within 2 km there are six restaurants, two schools, two pharmacies and five banks, covering most daily needs. The beach is not at the doorstep but is reachable: Playa El Peñoncillo is 2.3 km as the crow flies, about 8 minutes by car to Torrox Costa. The gradient between the urbanisation and the coast is moderate, so walking to the sea involves some inclination. A car is convenient for beach trips, the hospital 12 km away and airport runs, but regular bus services from Torrox Costa, plus six local bus lines with 23 stops, provide alternatives. The communal pool and garden on the premises give residents shared outdoor space without private maintenance obligations.
Torrox is a municipality of about 22,015 inhabitants (INE, 2025), split between the inland old village, Torrox Pueblo, and the coastal Torrox Costa. The apartment sits in an urbanised zone near the coast, on the lower foothills of the Sierra de Almijara, at roughly 114 m elevation. Life here is quieter than in the large resorts further west: local tourism infrastructure is modest (7 hotels, 1,437 beds), so the off-season remains residential in character. Amenities cluster within practical range, supermarket and pharmacy within a 5-minute walk, restaurants, cafés, banks and schools within 2 km, and the municipal swimming pool Piscina Municipal María Peláez at 1.2 km. Healthcare runs through the local health centre, with the nearest hospital 12 km away as the crow flies. For transport, a car is convenient for beach trips, hospital visits and the airport, but not strictly necessary for everything: six bus lines with 23 stops serve the municipality and there is a regular bus service from Torrox Costa towards Málaga. Málaga airport lies 49 km in a straight line, roughly 45 minutes by car. Málaga city itself is 42 km away, Granada 56 km, about an hour and a half's drive, putting skiing in the Sierra Nevada within day-trip range in winter.
The map shows the apartment's position in the Mirador de la Dehesa urbanisation above Torrox Costa, with the coast and the three nearest beaches within about 3 km as the crow flies, the supermarket at 337 m, and the road connections towards Nerja, Málaga and the airport.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Torrox belongs to the comarca of Axarquía, on the eastern Costa del Sol between Málaga (42 km) and Nerja towards Granada (56 km). The position is closer to Málaga airport than the more expensive Marbella belt (88 km), while remaining outside the dense resort strip. Housing transactions in the municipality number around 864 per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market. Compared with the marinas and golf resorts of the western Costa del Sol, the Axarquía coast retains a more Spanish, small-town character with villages in the hills behind.
Distances are straight-line unless stated otherwise. Beaches: Playa El Peñoncillo 2.3-2.7 km, Playa del Sillón and Playa los Cuartos around 2.7-3.0 km, all reached in about 8 minutes by car. Shopping: supermarket 337 m, pharmacy 447 m. Health: hospital 12 km, plus two pharmacies within 2 km. Airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol 49-50 km (about 45 minutes by car); Gibraltar 142 km; Alicante-Elche 344 km. Golf: the nearest listed courses, Club de Golf Málaga Parador (47 km) and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez (50 km), are a considerable drive; the description also mentions Baviera golf at 15 minutes by car. An electric-vehicle charging point is 5.9-6.0 km away. Public transport covers the municipality with 6 lines and 23 stops, and a regular bus connects Torrox Costa with Málaga and the airport route. Road distances are longer than straight-line figures, so actual travel times by car exceed what the kilometre figures suggest.

Torrox is marketed as having one of the mildest climates on the European coastline, and the data support a warm but not extreme pattern: an average annual temperature of 19.1°C, with monthly averages ranging from 17°C in the coldest months to 25°C in summer. The swimming season runs about six months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C. The apartment stands at roughly 114 m above sea level on the foothills of the Sierra de Almijara, which explains both the mountain views from the terrace and the moderate 4.9% gradient towards the coast. The elevated position relative to the beachfront means slightly cooler evenings in summer than directly on the sand. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, so the covered terrace remains usable year-round. For walkers, the hinterland of the Axarquía offers hillside terrain, while the Balcón del Mediterráneo viewpoint at 2.8 km is a nearby spot for coastal panoramas.

The Torrox coastline holds three Blue Flag beaches, Cenicero-Las Dunas, El Morche and Ferrara, a sign of water quality and services along this stretch. The beaches closest to the apartment are Playa El Peñoncillo, Playa del Sillón and Playa los Cuartos, all within roughly 3 km as the crow flies and about 8 minutes by car. For swimming outside the sea season, the apartment's urbanisation has a communal pool, and the municipal Piscina Municipal María Peláez lies 1.2 km away, with two more pools in nearby urbanisations at 2.5 and 2.6 km. Sports provision in the municipality counts 51 facilities, including an open-air gym at 3.8 km. Golf is not a local feature here: the nearest listed courses are 47 km or more away, though the Baviera course mentioned in the listing is a 15-minute drive. In winter, the Sierra Nevada near Granada, about an hour and a half by car, makes skiing combined with an afternoon on the coast technically possible.
