A 4‑bed duplex penthouse in Guadalmina Alta — analysed as an investible asset and presented by NCH Dallimore Marbella, whose local experience supports international buyers through pricing, due diligence and execution.
Nestled in Marbella’s Campos de Guadalmina, this duplex penthouse presents a clear, evidence‑first opportunity for international buyers seeking scale, flexibility and proximity to demand drivers. Spanning 220 m² of built space with roughly 120 m² of terraces and four ensuite bedrooms, the property sits frontline to Guadalmina Golf and is listed at EUR 695,000 — a price point that, when analysed against Marbella comparables, warrants a disciplined, numbers‑first look.

Take this penthouse as a case study: NCH Dallimore Marbella identified the asset for international distribution because it combines three investment attributes that matter to overseas buyers — usable internal area, meaningful outdoor space, and direct amenity access. The agency’s 40 years’ presence on the Costa del Sol and a platform rating of 90.4/100 enable them to price and position properties so that buyers can compare expected rental income, seasonal occupancy, and capital upside with relative confidence.
This is not a lifestyle blurb — it’s an inventory of investible features. The apartment offers four bedrooms, four bathrooms, elevator access, underground parking and air conditioning across 220.00 sqm of built area; terraces add approximately 120 sqm of outdoor living. Built in 2000 and sold furnished, it includes communal pool access and immediate walking distance to Guadalmina’s clubhouse and commercial centre. As shown in the photos, terraces frame golf‑course and mountain views that support both long‑let and holiday demand narratives.

At EUR 695,000 the pricing sits in a segment attractive to capital preservers and yield‑aware buyers who target Marbella but avoid the ultra‑luxury premium. Useful first calculations: price per built square metre is ~EUR 3,159 (EUR 695,000 / 220 m²). That metric allows apples‑to‑apples comparison against local supply and recent transactions — an essential step before underwriting forecast rental income and net yields. NCH Dallimore Marbella supplies comparable sales and historic occupancy data to international clients, reducing information asymmetry for buyers not resident in Spain.
The property’s configuration — sizeable living rooms, multiple terraces and four en‑suite bedrooms — supports two monetisation strategies: consistent medium‑term leases to expatriate families and high‑season short‑let rentals targeted at golf and leisure tourists. Each strategy has different cost profiles (management fees, cleaning turnover, tax treatment), and the agency’s advisory separates those variables so buyers can model net yield under conservative occupancy scenarios.

NCH Dallimore Marbella’s value proposition is structured around three pillars relevant to overseas investors: local market intelligence, execution capability and compliance support. Their four decades of activity in Marbella mean they maintain live transaction records, developer contacts and a partner network (property managers, tax advisers, notaries) that shorten execution timelines and clarify recurring costs. The agency’s platform rating (90.4/100) and average client score of 5 indicate consistent service delivery across those functions.
• Curated comparables and price‑per‑sqm benchmarks for Marbella micro‑markets (Guadalmina Alta vs San Pedro vs Puerto Banús). • Clear breakdowns of holding costs: IBI (local property tax), community fees, utilities and likely maintenance for a 2000 build that has reform potential. • Assistance with legal checks and NIE acquisition for non‑EU buyers, plus introductions to reputable property managers for either long lets or short‑let operation. • A marketing strategy tuned to international platforms and buyer profiles — crucial for achieving rental occupancy and reducing void periods.

Campos de Guadalmina is a demand corridor that combines golf tourism, family residency and convenient retail. The short distance to San Pedro (≈5 minutes) and Puerto Banús (≈10 minutes) creates diversified demand: families seeking year‑round schools and services, and seasonal tourists who lift summer rates. For investors, this mix reduces exposure to a single tenant profile. The penthouse’s access to communal pool and onsite parking increases its letability across seasons — a characteristic worth quantifying when modelling yields.
Photos supplied with the listing illustrate the principal investment drivers: generous terraces for outdoor living (which command higher nightly rates), bright living rooms suited to longer stays, and views over maintained golf fairways that limit development risk immediately in front of the property. NCH Dallimore Marbella uses these visual assets in data‑led brochures that pair imagery with occupancy history and price bands, enabling buyers to triangulate expected performance quickly.

When evaluating a penthouse like this, prioritize the following checks (NCH Dallimore Marbella can coordinate each): (1) community fees and reserve fund status to estimate annual running costs; (2) detailed utility and A/C servicing history given the 2000 build date; (3) permitted use for short‑lets if you plan seasonal renting; (4) exact dimensions and terrace liveable area for yield calculations; and (5) parking and storage title deeds to confirm inclusive rights. These items materially affect net yield and exit timing.
As the listing shows, the kitchen’s configuration provides optionality — convert to a fifth bedroom or an additional bathroom to increase rentable rooms. NCH Dallimore Marbella presents renovation cost estimates and local contractor contacts so buyers can immediately quantify capex and forecast the post‑refurb yield uplift.

If you’re assessing Marbella property for portfolio allocation, begin with a shortlist of 3–5 assets across micro‑markets and run the same yield model for each (purchase price, estimated rental income, occupancy, management costs, taxes, and refurbishment). Use price‑per‑sqm and terrace‑premium adjustments as standardised inputs. For this penthouse, request NCH Dallimore Marbella’s occupancy and comparable sales pack, the community accounts, and an itemised capex estimate for the kitchen conversion scenario. Their local execution reduces friction for non‑resident buyers and speeds up decision cycles.
As shown in the property images, the terraces and living spaces are the primary value carriers — they are what increases both rental rates and investor appeal.

For buyers outside Spain, the agency’s multilingual team and long‑standing local network simplify legal, tax and operational set‑up.
This penthouse is an illustrative example of NCH Dallimore Marbella’s approach: pair honest, asset‑level detail with local market data and pragmatic execution. For international buyers who evaluate property as an asset class rather than a lifestyle purchase, that combination is the difference between a speculative buy and a portfolio‑grade acquisition.
