, this duplex penthouse exemplifies a pragmatic investment proposition backed by a long‑established local agency.

Discovering the penthouse in Guadalmina Alta

This frontline‑golf duplex penthouse in Campos de Guadalmina spans 220 m² of built space with approximately 120 m² of terraces. Priced at EUR 695,000, the four‑bedroom, four‑bath layout includes a master suite, multiple private terraces and an underground garage. As shown in the photos, the principal living room opens onto a large terrace with direct views over the Guadalmina Golf Course and surrounding mountains — a property configuration that supports both seasonal short‑let demand and longer‑term family occupancy.

How the layout and features affect returns

From an investor perspective, three attributes matter: usable indoor area, private outdoor space, and functional bedroom count. This penthouse’s 220 m² plus 120 m² terraces materially increases lettable area compared with standard flats, improving headline nightly rates for short lets and reducing vacancy risk for mid‑term rentals because larger units attract families and multi‑occupancy groups. The presence of four en‑suite‑capable bathrooms simplifies conversion to multiple ensuite bedrooms — a configuration that typically commands a 10–20% uplift in per‑bed revenue in Marbella’s premium leisure micro‑markets.

Practical features that change ownership costs

• Included underground garage — lowers ongoing tenant recruitment friction and enhances long‑term capital appeal.
• Air conditioning and lift access — reduces capex required to reach rental‑ready condition for international tenants.
• Large terraces and frontline views — premium differentiators for both holiday occupancy and resale.

NCH Dallimore Marbella’s role: selection, positioning and execution

NCH Dallimore Marbella has 40 years of local presence and a demonstrated track record across investment, vacation homes and first‑time buyer segments. Their value proposition for international buyers is threefold: rigorous sourcing, local market calibration and asset presentation tailored to investor underwriting. This penthouse was sourced and positioned with those criteria in mind — frontline golf exposure, walkable amenity access and a flexible internal plan that allows conversion (kitchen to additional bedroom or bathroom) to match tenant profiles or owner preferences.

How agency expertise reduces execution risk

For international buyers, execution risk includes regulatory unfamiliarity, tax structuring mistakes and unreliable local management. NCH Dallimore Marbella mitigates these through established vendor relationships, bilingual transactional teams and recommended local partners (legal, tax and property management). In practice, that means quicker due diligence, clearer total cost forecasting and a defined path from purchase to rental listing — critical when a single month of occupancy can swing annual net yield materially in holiday‑oriented markets.

The property as a case study in agency curation

Take this penthouse as an example: the agency highlighted its reform potential during valuation meetings, projecting a modest renovation (kitchen reconfiguration and terrace upgrades) that would increase achievable annual gross rents by an estimated 15–25% on short‑let platforms and improve long‑term resale margins. The photos supplied show original but well‑kept finishes; NCH Dallimore Marbella provides renovation scope and cost estimates to international buyers so the opportunity can be modelled into net yields rather than left as a post‑purchase assumption.

What the images reveal about capital efficiency

The image set highlights three investor‑relevant facts: generous outdoor terraces (supporting higher per‑night rates), sightlines over the golf course (a defensible amenity), and a layout that lends itself to minor reconfiguration. NCH Dallimore Marbella deliberately uses this visual evidence to support underwriting: clear daylight exteriors show accurate context for seasonality analysis; interior shots reveal current finish levels for capex planning.

Marbella context: demand drivers and downside risks

Marbella’s appeal rests on climate, international connectivity and a mature leisure economy. For Campos de Guadalmina specifically, proximity to golf, retail and Puerto Banús supports year‑round rental demand from families and mid‑term stays rather than purely summer occupancy. That improves blended yield stability. Countervailing risks include local regulatory changes on short‑term lets, variable tourism cycles and maintenance costs associated with older buildings (this property was built in 2000). NCH Dallimore Marbella frames these risks quantitatively for buyers — estimating maintenance and community fees, and running sensitivity scenarios for occupancy and rate assumptions.

Underwriting checklist for similar Marbella penthouses

• Confirm net usable area versus advertised built area and terrace inclusion — terraces materially affect effective rent.
• Itemise community (IþU) fees and local property taxes to calculate true net yield.
• Model multiple operating scenarios: long‑let, mid‑term, and short‑let seasonality to assess blended occupancy.

How to proceed if you’re considering this listing

If this penthouse matches your investment criteria, request a full financial pack from NCH Dallimore Marbella that includes recent community accounts, itemised running costs, renter profile data and sample renovation budgets. The agency’s local team can provide comparables within Guadalmina Alta and a projected cash‑flow model that separates gross income, operating expenses and conservative vacancy assumptions.

As shown in the property images, the combination of terrace area, frontline position and garage access is uncommon at this price point in Marbella — a fact NCH Dallimore Marbella leverages in negotiations to preserve buyer upside.

Conclusion: measured opportunity, managed by experience

This Marbella penthouse is a clear example of a marketable asset where agency curation matters. NCH Dallimore Marbella’s 40 years in the market, procedural support for international buyers and practical renovation pathways convert a standard listing into an underwritten investment choice. For investors seeking a mix of seasonal revenue and long‑term appreciation, this property warrants a focused financial review rather than a purely aesthetic one.
