This exceptional detached villa, located in the exclusive La Mairena, offers a contemporary lifestyle with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. With a living area of 600 m² on a plot of 1517 m², this property combines high-end finishes with a strategic location. The villa has been completely renovated and features six spacious bedrooms and seven bathrooms spread across multiple levels. Every detail has been designed for comfort and aesthetics, from the premium materials to the advanced climate control and private elevator. Completion is recently finished, ensuring a move-in ready home.
Compared to other projects on the Costa del Sol, such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €259,000), this villa in La Mairena is positioned in a significantly higher price bracket. The aforementioned projects typically represent apartments or smaller villas in more coastal or urban developments, with starting prices that are a fraction of the €3,850,000 asking price for this property. La Mairena's exclusivity, the villa's scale (600 m² living space on 1517 m² land), the panoramic sea and mountain views at 400 meters altitude, and the recent, high-quality renovation justify this pricing. While the more affordable projects cater to a broader audience with ready-to-move-in coastal properties, this La Mairena project offers a distinctive combination of space, luxury, privacy, and an exclusive elevated location characteristic of the upper segment of the Costa del Sol residential market.
