Villa in Cerros del Aguila, Mijas

Set at the top of Cerros del Aguila and surrounded by tropical greenery, this south-facing nine-bedroom villa enjoys 360-degree views over the Mediterranean and the Mijas mountains. The house sits within a total landholding of over five hectares. The adjoining land offers considerable potential, and the main house could also serve as a clubhouse.

Moroccan-inspired design runs throughout. The ground floor has a spacious living room, a fully fitted kitchen, three en-suite bedrooms, a gym and an office. On the first floor, the master bedroom features handmade Moroccan art, alongside a guest WC and a flexible room. A further room on the second floor could also be a bedroom. Below, the first basement level holds the garage and storage rooms. The second houses an indoor pool with beautifully hand-painted walls.

The grounds feature two waterfalls, one feeding the pool and the other a stream through the landscaped garden. A secret bar room is hidden behind it. There is also a small stable, a riding area, a barbecue, covered terraces and a helipad. The villa comes fully furnished and has underfloor heating, air conditioning, marble floors, a sauna and fibre optic.
