This key-ready townhouse is situated in Torrox Costa, in the eastern part of the Málaga province on the Costa del Sol. Completed in 2024, the property offers 148 m² of living space with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The nearest beach, Playa El Peñoncillo, lies roughly 400 metres away as the crow flies. The asking price is a fixed €695,000. The home is south-facing and includes air conditioning, underfloor heating, a private pool and access to a communal pool. Daily amenities such as restaurants, a pharmacy, banks and a school are all within a two-kilometre radius.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Torrox Costa is a coastal settlement between Nerja and Torre del Mar, roughly 42 kilometres from Málaga by direct line. The townhouse sits at approximately 19 metres above sea level with a moderate gradient of 4.2% towards the sea. Playa El Peñoncillo is about 400 metres away as the crow flies, with two further beaches within one kilometre.
The layout of three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 148 m² suits both permanent residence and use as a second home. The south-facing orientation extends usable hours on the terrace, while the private pool and rooftop terrace add outdoor living space. Air conditioning for hot and cold use plus underfloor heating cover year-round climate control.
Construction was completed in 2024 and the property is delivered key-ready, meaning no waiting period or construction risk applies. The finish reflects current building standards rather than an older renovation. Any completion or handover dates mentioned in documentation should be treated as indicative until confirmed at notary.
The property does not include a garden plot, and the data shows no golf course in the immediate vicinity. The nearest electric charging point is around six kilometres away as the crow flies. Public transport exists, six lines with 25 stops, but coverage is limited compared with larger towns, so a car is practical for wider mobility. No information is available about a sea-view guarantee from every room.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A couple or small family seeking a permanent coastal residence with manageable dimensions, three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 148 m², will find the layout supports both daily life and visiting guests, with the en-suite arrangement reducing morning congestion. Buyers relocating from northern Europe who want to avoid construction risk benefit from the key-ready status: there is no off-plan waiting period, and the building dates from 2024, so first-year ownership involves no phased snagging of a development still under construction. Those intending a second home with rental potential can weigh the fixed price against comparable new-build projects in the region; the private pool and proximity of roughly 400 metres to the beach are features that typically matter in the holiday letting market. Active retirees who prefer walking access to amenities, restaurants, pharmacy, banks and cafés all within two kilometres, can manage daily life largely without a car, though one remains useful for Málaga airport, about 50 kilometres away by direct line. The property is less self-evidently suited to buyers requiring a large garden plot, a golf course at the doorstep, or rural tranquillity; the setting is built-up and suburban. Households with school-age children have one school within two kilometres and a broader selection of five primary and two secondary schools in the area, which supports year-round living rather than purely seasonal use.
Because the property was completed in 2024, the construction and installation standards reflect current Spanish building regulations rather than those of an older dwelling retrofitted over time. The climate systems are the clearest indicator: the home includes air conditioning units capable of both hot and cold operation, supplemented by underfloor heating. This combination matters in practice, the region's average monthly temperatures range from 17°C to 25°C, meaning winters are mild but cool enough that underfloor heating raises comfort on the coldest mornings, while summer periods call for effective cold-air conditioning. Interior photographs show a modern open-plan living area with direct sea views, a covered patio, and bathrooms finished to contemporary standards, one bedroom featuring a jacuzzi positioned against an ocean view. A hallway accommodates a washing machine, indicating a separate utility function rather than appliances placed in living space. Outdoor construction includes a private pool, listed as heated, and a rooftop terrace of over 50 m² accessed by an internal staircase, which points to a purpose-built upper structure rather than a later addition. Parking and storage are provided through a private garage space and a separate storage room. Buyers should nonetheless verify finishes during a viewing and request the standard documentation, including the occupancy certificate and installation certificates for the heating and pool systems, as delivery dates in listings are indicative until confirmed in the title deed.
The asking price is fixed at €695,000; this is an existing, completed home rather than a new-build project with a price list, so no from-price applies. For context within the immediate area, Mary's Hill in Torrox Costa advertises new-build homes from €529,000, which places this property at the upper end of the local range once its completion date, private pool and finished condition are taken into account. Buyers comparing options should note that published prices of comparable projects typically refer to base configurations before extras such as pools, parking or storage. Availability is immediate given the key-ready status, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process and notary scheduling.
Daily life around this townhouse revolves around the short walk to the coast. Playa El Peñoncillo lies about 400 metres away in a straight line, which in practice means a few minutes on foot, with a moderate incline of 4.2% on the return route from the beach. Two further beaches, Playa del Sillón and Playa los Cuartos, sit within about one kilometre. The morning routine can plausibly include a swim before breakfast during the six-month season when sea temperatures stay at or above 20°C. Shopping and services are concentrated within a two-kilometre radius: 52 restaurants, 11 cafés, two pharmacies, three banks, a dentist and a school. That density means most errands are walkable or a short drive, reducing dependence on larger centres for everyday needs. The area is suburban in character, built-up along the coast rather than rural, with tourism infrastructure of seven hotels and around 1,400 beds. Outside the summer months the pace slows noticeably, and the permanent population carries the local economy, including five primary schools and two secondary schools in the wider area. Healthcare access consists of one health centre locally, with hospital-level care available in the larger towns further along the coast. The Balcón del Mediterráneo viewpoint, 1.3 kilometres away, marks a common evening walking destination with views along the shoreline. For exercise beyond the beach, an open-air gym sits about 3.9 kilometres away, and three urbanisation swimming pools operate within 1.3 to 1.7 kilometres. The overall rhythm is that of a small, service-oriented coastal town rather than a resort enclave or a rural retreat.
The immediate environment is characteristic of Torrox Costa: a low-rise coastal strip with residential urbanisations, beachfront chiringuitos and a commercial centre within walking distance. The amenity data within two kilometres, 52 restaurants, 11 cafés, two pharmacies, three banks and a dentist, describes an area where dinner, prescriptions and cashpoints do not require a car. Education is represented by a school within the same radius, with five primary and two secondary schools in the wider area, and healthcare by one health centre. Tourism pressure is moderate: seven hotels with roughly 1,400 beds mean the population swells in summer but the area does not depend on high-rise resort traffic. Housing turnover in the area runs at about 820 transactions per year, indicating an active but not overheated local market. Public transport consists of six lines serving 25 stops, sufficient for local trips towards Nerja and Torre del Mar, though most residents keep a car. The setting is quietest outside July and August, when the restaurants and promenade quieten down and the town reverts to its permanent community.
The map shows the property's position in Torrox Costa, with Playa El Peñoncillo roughly 400 metres away by direct line and the coastline running east towards Nerja. Málaga city and its airport lie west, about 42 and 50 kilometres respectively as the crow flies. All distances shown are straight-line; road routes are longer.

Torrox Costa occupies the eastern stretch of the Málaga province, between Nerja and Torre del Mar and roughly 42 km by direct line from Málaga city. Its position places it closer to Granada (58 km straight-line) than most western Costa del Sol towns, which shapes both the visitor profile and the driving distances for airport access. Compared with Marbella (88 km direct), the eastern side of the coast is lower in density, less golf-oriented and generally more priced towards permanent residents than resort buyers. This positioning suits buyers prioritising beach proximity and everyday services over the marina and golf infrastructure of the western Costa del Sol.
The nearest beach, Playa El Peñoncillo, is about 0.4 km away as the crow flies, with an actual walking distance somewhat longer given the street layout and the 4.2% incline. Málaga, the provincial capital with around 579,000 inhabitants, lies 42 km in a direct line and offers the full range of urban services. Granada is 58 km away by the same measure, and Marbella 88 km. Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP) is roughly 50 km in a straight line, road distances and driving times will be longer, and the coastal A-7 motorway connects the area westbound. Gibraltar airport lies about 141 km away by direct line. Golf facilities are not recorded in the vicinity of this property. For electric vehicle owners, the nearest charging point is approximately 6 km away as the crow flies, which is worth factoring into daily charging routines. Three communal urbanisation pools sit within 1.3 to 1.7 km, and an open-air gym at 3.9 km.

The climate data points to a typical eastern Costa del Sol pattern: an average annual temperature of 19.7°C, with monthly averages between 17°C and 25°C. In practical terms, this means winter days are generally mild enough for terrace use at midday, while summer temperatures are moderated by the sea breeze rather than the extreme heat of the inland provinces. The swimming season lasts six months, during which sea temperatures remain at or above 20°C, roughly May through October. The property sits at about 19 metres above sea level, low enough that access is easy on foot but high enough to command sea views over the coastline towards Nerja, as referenced in the description. The 4.2% gradient to the beach is moderate: manageable for most walkers, though noticeable on the return uphill. Mountain and country views are also recorded, reflecting the position between the Mediterranean and the foothills of the Sierras behind Torrox.

Three beaches lie within about one kilometre of the property as the crow flies: Playa El Peñoncillo at 0.4 km, Playa del Sillón at 0.9 km and Playa los Cuartos at 1.0 km. This cluster gives residents a choice of stretches within a short walk, useful in summer when the nearest access points fill up. The immediate property itself provides a private, heated pool and jacuzzi, plus access to a communal pool, so swimming does not depend on beach conditions or season. Beyond swimming, the recreation offer includes the Balcón del Mediterráneo viewpoint at 1.3 km, a common walking destination with coastal panoramas, and an open-air gym at 3.9 km for structured exercise. No golf courses are recorded in the immediate data for this location; the nearest charging infrastructure for electric vehicles sits about 6 km away. Water-based recreation extends naturally along the coast towards Nerja, whose shoreline is visible from the upper terrace on clear days.

Within Torrox Costa itself, the closest recorded comparable is Mary's Hill, a new-build development advertising homes from €529,000. Against that base price, this townhouse at a fixed €695,000 represents a higher entry point, with the differential explained by its completed 2024 status, larger 148 m² footprint, three bathrooms and the inclusion of a private heated pool, items that in new-build price lists are typically charged as extras on top of the published from-price. Further west along the Costa del Sol, Acqua Gardens in Estepona starts from €524,600 and Aby Upper in Estepona from €320,000. Those Estepona projects sit in a different market segment: the western Costa del Sol carries heavier golf, marina and resort infrastructure, higher density around Marbella and Estepona, and a buyer profile weighted towards second homes and investment. The eastern coast around Torrox Costa trades lower headline prices and a quieter, more residential character against greater distance from Málaga airport, roughly 50 km by direct line versus considerably less for Estepona-based developments. Housing transactions in the local area run at about 820 per year, indicating a functioning resale market rather than a speculative one. Median income in the province of €16,450 provides context for local purchasing power, which is materially below northern European levels and underpins the role of international buyers in this price bracket. For a buyer weighing this property against off-plan alternatives, the central trade-off is certainty: a finished, inspectable home with a fixed price and immediate availability, versus a from-price on a development where the final cost of an equivalent specification, pool, parking, storage, heating, may land closer to this figure once configured.
