This detached villa is situated in the exclusive La Mairena, a residential resort high above the Costa del Sol. The development offers a combination of tranquility, space, and sweeping views over the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding mountain landscape. With a plot of 1563 m² and a living area of 328 m², this villa provides a generous living environment. The property is currently ready for occupation and boasts a high standard of finishes and comfort, designed for a luxurious lifestyle.
Compared to developments on the immediate coastline, such as Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, this villa in La Mairena offers a significantly higher degree of tranquility and a more rural setting, which is also reflected in its pricing. Estepona, while popular, is closer to the sea and amenities, potentially leading to more urban bustle. Alba Benalmadena in Benalmádena, priced around €699,000, is also coastal, but La Mairena distinguishes itself through its hillside location. The La Mairena villa targets buyers who prioritize views, space, and quietude over direct beach access or proximity to a lively town center. The price of €1,400,000 places this project in the higher segment of the market, consistent with the exclusive location and the size of the property and plot, unlike the starting prices of the mentioned Estepona projects, which are considerably lower.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located in La Mairena, the villa enjoys an elevated position at 395 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views stretching from the Sierra Nevada to the African coast. Its proximity to the coast, at a bird's-eye distance of 4.7 km to the nearest beach, balances the tranquility of the mountainous hinterland with accessibility to the Mediterranean.
This villa is designed for residents who appreciate comfort, space, and views. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, it offers ample accommodation for families or guests. The open-plan living areas, landscaped gardens, and private swimming pool are geared towards a relaxed lifestyle, with a strong focus on both indoor and outdoor living.
This development is already completed ('Gereed'). The villa is ready for occupancy, offering the advantages of modern construction techniques and finishes without the waiting period associated with an off-plan project. This allows for a swift move-in after purchase.
The location in La Mairena, at altitude and in a rural setting, implies that a car is essential for daily commutes. While public transport lines and stops exist, their frequency and coverage may be more limited than in denser coastal areas. The gradient towards the beach (8.0%) might be a consideration for some.
This villa suits buyers seeking a tranquil and spacious living environment while maintaining proximity to the Costa del Sol's amenities. It is ideal for families desiring a large home with private outdoor space and views, or for individuals looking for a luxurious holiday home or permanent residence that offers privacy. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to multiple courses. The elevated location appeals to those who value a pleasant climate with ample sunshine, while keeping the coast within reach. The necessity of a car for daily errands and transport aligns with residents accustomed to this lifestyle or willing to adapt to it. It is a choice for a higher quality of life, centered around the peace of La Mairena.
The villa is designed with a focus on modern architecture and high-quality finishes. The 328 m² of living space is distributed across a functional layout, including four bedrooms and four bathrooms, often with en-suite facilities. Large windows ensure abundant natural light, connecting the interior space with the surrounding views. Specifications typically include air conditioning (hot and cold), underfloor heating (U/F Heating), and fitted wardrobes. The kitchen is equipped for modern use, and the bathrooms feature quality sanitary ware. The choice of materials and the installation of amenities like fiber optic internet contribute to the home's comfort and durability.
The asking price for this detached villa is €1,400,000. This is a single availability, as the development is already complete. The pricing reflects its location in exclusive La Mairena, the plot size (1563 m²), the construction specifications (328 m² living area, 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms), and amenities such as a private pool and landscaped gardens. Given that the villa is ready for occupancy, this price offers a direct purchasing opportunity without the uncertainties of off-plan investments.
