Villa in Valtocado, Mijas

A detached five-bedroom villa sits high on the Valtocado estate at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. It offers real privacy and panoramic views over the mountains, the countryside and down to the Mediterranean. The house has 430 m² built on a gated plot of 3,865 m², spread across two plots, and a double garage.

The main living area is a large lounge and dining room with marble floors and a fireplace. Glass doors open onto a 90 m² south-facing terrace, part of it covered, which suits dining outdoors with sea views. There is a fitted kitchen, a utility room, and a master suite with its own private office. Air conditioning (hot and cold), double glazing and fitted wardrobes are included.

The landscaped gardens lead down to a large private pool set among olive trees, with a barbecue nearby. Beneath the main house is a fully independent three-bedroom guest apartment with its own living space. It would work well for visiting family, a gym or a games room. There is also basement storage, and furniture is available by separate arrangement.

Mijas combines Andalusian charm with an easy coastal lifestyle. Its whitewashed pueblo looks out over the Costa del Sol, and the beaches of Mijas Costa and the town's many golf courses are close by.
