A key-ready townhouse in the El Mirador development at Peñoncillo, Torrox Costa, completed in 2024 and offered at a fixed asking price of €699,000. The property measures 148 m² and is arranged over three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with an open-plan kitchen and living area oriented south towards the Mediterranean. Features include underfloor heating in the bathrooms, air conditioning, solar panels, a private jacuzzi, a parking space and a storage room. The gated community offers a heated saltwater pool, spa, gym and a communal tapas bar. Playa El Peñoncillo lies approximately 400 metres away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The property sits in the Peñoncillo district of Torrox Costa, at approximately 19 metres above sea level on a moderate coastal slope. Playa El Peñoncillo is 0.4 km away in a straight line, with two further beaches within about 1 km. Málaga lies 42 km away as the crow flies, Granada 58 km. The gradient from the house to the beach measures 4.2%, which means part of the return walk is uphill.
The house is configured for year-round coastal living: three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 148 m², an open-plan kitchen-living space with large windows facing the sea, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and hot and cold air conditioning. Outdoor space includes terraces with dining and lounge areas and a private jacuzzi oriented towards the coastline. A south-facing orientation maximises daylight on the main living floor.
Construction was completed in 2024 and the property is key-ready, meaning it can be transferred in its finished state without a waiting period. This is an existing, completed home rather than an off-plan purchase: the asking price is fixed at €699,000 and is not a starting price from a developer price list. Deliveries and completion dates in Spain are always indicative, although in this case the build is already finished.
The property has no private swimming pool; swimming facilities are communal within the gated development. There is one dedicated parking space and a storage room, but no private garage for multiple vehicles is listed. A garden is not mentioned in the data. The nearest electric charging point is 6 km away, and the hillside position involves a moderate 4.2% gradient to the beach. Rental income and tourist licence status are not stated in the available data.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple or family seeking a move-in-ready home on the Costa del Sol without the uncertainty of off-plan construction will find the 2024 completion and key-ready status directly relevant: there is no waiting period and no construction risk. Buyers who place sea views and walking-distance beach access high on their list will note the 0.4 km straight-line distance to Playa El Peñoncillo and the south-facing orientation of the living spaces. The house also suits those planning extended stays or full-time relocation rather than short holiday visits. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms and full air conditioning indicate a house built for year-round occupation, and the local amenity base, 52 restaurants, pharmacies, banks, schools and a health centre within reach, supports daily life beyond the tourist season. Households with children or with regular guests benefit from the three-bathroom layout. Buyers for whom a private pool is essential will not find it here; the pool is communal, heated and saltwater, which has different practical implications in terms of availability and maintenance responsibility. Similarly, buyers needing charging facilities for an electric car should note the nearest listed charging point is 6 km away, and the property includes one parking space. Finally, investors should verify rental and licence arrangements independently, as the available data does not state tourist rental permissions.
As a 2024 build, the property reflects contemporary Spanish construction standards and materials. The interior is arranged around an open-plan kitchen and living area with generous glazing designed to bring in natural light and frame the sea views; the photographic material shows a modern living room with direct sightlines to the outdoors and a terrace configured for dining and lounging. Finishes are described by the seller as premium quality; as with any purchase, buyers can verify materials and workmanship during a viewing or technical survey. Climate control is a clear strength of the specification. The house combines hot and cold air conditioning with underfloor heating, with underfloor circuits specifically noted in the bathrooms, a feature that adds comfort during the cooler winter months along this stretch of coast, where average monthly temperatures range between 17°C and 25°C. Solar panels are installed, which reduces grid electricity demand and operating costs, particularly relevant given the running of a jacuzzi and climate systems year-round. The exterior specification includes terraces at multiple levels, as shown in the aerial imagery of the development, with a private jacuzzi positioned to take in the coastal panorama. A dedicated parking space and separate storage room are included, which is practical for a coastal townhouse where street parking near the beach can be limited in summer. Within the gated community, shared facilities comprise a heated saltwater swimming pool, spa, a fully equipped gym and a communal tapas bar. These amenities are managed collectively, so their availability and maintenance are tied to the community's rules and fees, which buyers should request and review before purchase.
The property is offered as a completed, key-ready home at a fixed asking price of €699,000, not as a from-price within a development price list. The price reflects a 2024 build with sea views, three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 148 m², plus communal facilities and private extras such as the jacuzzi, parking space and storage room. For context, new-build townhouses at Mary's Hill in Torrox Costa start from €529,000, while comparable projects in Estepona start from €320,000 (Aby Upper) and €524,600 (Acqua Gardens). Buyers should budget additional purchase costs in Spain, including transfer tax, notary and registry fees. Availability is immediate given the completed construction status.
Daily life in this property centres on the interaction between the house and the coast. The south-facing orientation and large glazing mean the open-plan living area receives sun throughout the day, with sea views as a constant backdrop. Mornings can begin on the terrace; the beach at El Peñoncillo is roughly 400 metres away as the crow flies, a short walk that returns slightly uphill given the 4.2% gradient and the elevated position of the El Mirador development. The surrounding neighbourhood of Peñoncillo functions as a residential extension of Torrox Costa. Within two kilometres there are 52 restaurants, 11 cafés, two pharmacies, three banks and a dentist, which covers most daily needs without travelling further. A health centre is located in the wider area, and education is available with five primary schools and two secondary schools in the municipality. Tourism is present but modest in scale, with seven hotels and around 1,437 beds, meaning the area retains a settled, residential character outside the summer months rather than becoming a purely seasonal resort. The house itself supports a practical routine: three bathrooms reduce morning congestion for a family or visiting guests, underfloor heating in the bathrooms adds comfort in the cooler winter months, and solar panels contribute to reducing electricity costs. The communal facilities, a heated saltwater pool, spa, gym and tapas bar, extend the usable living space beyond the 148 m² interior. Public transport is available with six lines and 25 stops, so a car is convenient but not strictly essential for local trips. For excursions, viewpoints such as Balcón del Mediterráneo (1.3 km) and several nearby beaches provide variation within walking or short driving distance.
Torrox Costa occupies the coastal strip of a municipality that markets itself as having one of the best climates in Europe; the local data supports comfortable conditions, with an average annual temperature of 19.7°C and monthly averages between 17°C and 25°C. At an elevation of 19 metres, the property sits low enough for easy coastal access yet high enough on the slope to benefit from the sea views that define its orientation. The immediate surroundings combine residential calm with practical density. Within two kilometres there are 52 restaurants, 11 cafés, two pharmacies, three banks, a dentist and a school, so most daily errands are within a short drive or an extended walk. The housing market in the area records around 820 transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market. Tourism infrastructure, seven hotels and roughly 1,437 beds, is modest relative to major resort towns, which keeps the off-season quieter than in Marbella or Fuengirola. Transport within the town is served by six public bus lines and 25 stops, which covers local movement between Peñoncillo, Torrox Costa and Torrox Pueblo. For destinations further afield, a car remains the practical option. Leisure facilities nearby include three communal swimming pools at varying distances (1.3–1.7 km), an outdoor gym at 3.9 km and the Balcón del Mediterráneo viewpoint at 1.3 km, a regular spot for evening walks and coastal views.
The map shows the property's position on the Torrox Costa hillside, roughly 400 metres as the crow flies from Playa El Peñoncillo and within easy reach of the two neighbouring beaches. Málaga city and its airport lie west along the coast, while Granada and the mountains sit inland to the north-east, a location that balances beach access with quick escapes into the Andalusian interior.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Torrox Costa sits on the eastern Costa del Sol, between Nerja and Torre del Mar, roughly 42 km as the crow flies from Málaga city and 58 km from Granada. This positions it closer to Granada's cultural offer and the Alpujarra mountain routes than the Marbella-focused western Costa del Sol, 88 km to the south-west. The area attracts a mix of permanent residents, mainly European, and a moderate level of tourism, with a local transaction volume of around 820 home sales per year indicating a functioning, liquid market rather than a speculative hotspot.
The nearest beach, Playa El Peñoncillo, lies 0.4 km away as the crow flies, with Playa del Sillón at 0.9 km and Playa los Cuartos at 1.0 km completing a cluster of swimming options within walking distance. Road distances will be somewhat longer than straight-line figures, and the 4.2% gradient means the walk back from the shore involves a steady incline. Regional accessibility is a defining feature of the location. Málaga, with its 579,076 inhabitants and full urban amenities, is 42 km away in a straight line, and Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is approximately 50 km away, a drive that typically takes under an hour via the coastal motorway. Granada, home to 232,770 people, is 58 km away, making day trips to the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada foothills feasible. Marbella lies 88 km away, while Gibraltar airport (141 km) and Alicante (345 km) are considerably more distant. Public transport is available locally with six lines and 25 stops, but for regional travel a car is the practical choice, and the included private parking space supports that.

The climate data points to genuinely comfortable year-round conditions: an average annual temperature of 19.7°C, monthly averages ranging from 17°C to 25°C, and a swimming season of six months during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20°C. This places the local climate among the warmest on the Spanish mainland coast and means outdoor living on the terraces is not limited to summer. The property's elevation of 19 metres above sea level and its moderate slope position it between the beach and the hills behind Torrox, giving views that take in the Mediterranean, the beach line, the mountains and the countryside, an unusually wide set of vistas for a coastal townhouse. The gradient of 4.2% towards the shore is gentle enough for most pedestrians but is worth noting for buyers with reduced mobility. The setting combines coastal proximity with the wider landscape of the Axarquía region, where inland villages and mountain routes begin within a short drive inland, and the Sierra Tejeda range forms a backdrop visible from elevated points around the town.

Three beaches lie within about one kilometre of the property as the crow flies: Playa El Peñoncillo (0.4 km), Playa del Sillón (0.9 km) and Playa los Cuartos (1.0 km). This cluster gives residents a choice of spots depending on season and preference, from the closest stretch for everyday swims to quieter sections slightly further along the coast. The specific Blue Flag status of these beaches is not stated in the available data and should be verified with the municipality. Swimming is not confined to the sea: the property's own community offers a heated saltwater pool, and three additional urbanisation pools sit between 1.3 and 1.7 km away. For exercise and recreation, an outdoor gym is located 3.9 km from the house, and the Balcón del Mediterráneo viewpoint at 1.3 km is a local landmark for coastal walks. Golf courses are not listed within the immediate dataset, so buyers prioritising golf should check the nearest courses in the wider Málaga, Nerja corridor independently. The combination of beach, pool and spa facilities means water-based and wellness recreation is well covered throughout the year.

Within Torrox Costa itself, the closest comparable development is Mary's Hill, where new-build homes start from €529,000. At €699,000 for a completed 148 m² townhouse with sea views, this property sits above that entry point; the difference must be weighed against what is included, a finished 2024 build, three bathrooms, underfloor heating, solar panels, a jacuzzi, parking and storage, plus access to a heated saltwater pool, spa and gym within the gated community. Starting prices at Mary's Hill typically refer to smaller or lower-positioned units and exclude purchase costs. Further west along the Costa del Sol, the comparison shifts. In Estepona, Acqua Gardens starts from €524,600 and Aby Upper from €320,000, which illustrates how entry pricing rises sharply with proximity to Marbella (88 km from here), but also how the western Costa del Sol trades at higher average levels for comparable specifications. Torrox Costa occupies the value end of the Málaga province coastline: buyers typically get more square metres, newer construction or better views per euro than in Estepona, Fuengirola or Marbella, in exchange for a quieter, less internationally established resort scene and a longer drive to Marbella and Puerto Banús. The regional positioning also matters. The eastern Costa del Sol around Torrox and Nerja is oriented towards Granada (58 km), the Alpujarras and the Sierra Nevada rather than towards the marina-and-golf circuit of the western coast. The local market records around 820 transactions per year and a modest tourism base of seven hotels, pointing to a residentially driven market. For buyers weighing this property against new-build alternatives, the practical comparison is between a finished, specifiable home at a fixed price here versus off-plan purchases elsewhere where delivery dates remain indicative and completion risk sits with the buyer.
