Villa in Mijas, Malaga

Set on an elevated 18,000 m² plot on the Mijas to Fuengirola road, around one kilometre below the pueblo, this south-facing detached villa offers a rare combination of a substantial family home and a significant development opportunity. Approximately one third of the land is buildable, and existing approval is in place for 10 townhouses with a total build size of 2,760 m². This section of the plot is relatively flat, making construction and road access straightforward.

The existing villa extends to 326 m² with a 124 m² private terrace. It comprises a main house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a 2-bedroom guest apartment on the ground floor with its own entrance. It also has a private pool, a garage with parking for several cars, double glazing, an alarm system and a partially fitted kitchen. The property requires renovation but has clear potential as a luxury independent villa or boutique B&B. Subject to town hall approval, it could be separated from the new build area. Thanks to its raised position, there are panoramic views down to the sea and over the countryside. The non-buildable land slopes gently down to the river bed as a green oasis.

Primary features:

• 18,000 m² plot with approval for 10 townhouses
• 5 bedrooms, including a separate 2-bedroom guest apartment
• Private pool and 124 m² terrace
• Panoramic sea and country views, south facing
• Garage and private parking
• Renovation project with strong investment potential

Mijas is one of the Costa del Sol's most charming destinations. Its whitewashed hillside pueblo is known for narrow streets, flower-filled balconies and sweeping views across the Mediterranean. The village offers traditional restaurants, shops and a relaxed Andalusian pace of life, while the beaches and lively promenade of Fuengirola are just down the hill. Málaga Airport is within easy reach, as are numerous golf courses, making Mijas a perennial favourite with British buyers.
