Villa in Valtocado, Mijas

Set within the prestigious Valtocado urbanisation in the Sierra de Mijas, this detached villa was completed in 2012 and remains in excellent, as-new condition. It is south-west facing, with a U-shaped design that shelters the front terraces from the wind. Panoramic views take in the coast and the mountains.

All five bedrooms and the living space are on one level. The master suite has a walk-in dressing room, an en-suite bathroom and French doors opening onto the pool area. A fifth bedroom with a wood burner could also serve as a snug or home office. The open-plan sitting, dining and kitchen area opens through several sets of French doors to a covered terrace and the private pool. Three further double bedrooms are all en suite, each with its own patio, and there is also a guest toilet.

The villa is built to a high specification, with double-glazed safety glass and thermally broken frames. Heating comes from underfloor heating throughout, air conditioning and solar panels. Fibre optic broadband and an alarm system are also installed. The basement holds a double garage, a machine room and a flexible space suitable for a gym or cinema. The landscaped garden is designed for easy upkeep.
