A fully renovated detached villa of 270 m² on a 716 m² plot in El Chaparral, in the Málaga area, offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €1,350,000. The property comprises five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, a private swimming pool, a south to south-west orientation and panoramic views over La Cala Bay and the Mediterranean. The home was originally completed in 1979 and has since undergone a complete renovation. Key-ready, with an integral garage and parking for two further vehicles on the driveway.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in an urbanised residential area with everyday amenities within walking distance: a supermarket at roughly 800 metres and a pharmacy under 900 metres, both measured in a straight line. Golf courses, beaches and the city of Málaga, about 6 km away, are all reachable by car. A car is convenient but not strictly necessary for all daily errands.
The layout answers a demand for space and privacy: five bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, a lower-level studio that can serve as an office or self-contained guest room, a luxury kitchen with breakfast room, and a covered dining terrace fitted with glass curtains for year-round use. Outdoor space includes a private pool, terraces and a landscaped garden.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1979 and has been fully renovated and refurbished since, with the work described as recent. It is key-ready, meaning no construction phase or waiting period applies. The completion date of the original build is historical fact rather than a forward-looking delivery date.
The property offers no communal facilities such as a gym, padel courts or residents' club; amenity is limited to the private plot. There is no underfloor heating outside the bathrooms, and climate control relies on air conditioning and a fireplace. Parking is limited to the integral garage plus two vehicles on the driveway. Beaches lie several kilometres away, not within immediate walking distance.

This property fits a buyer who wants a finished, move-in-ready villa rather than a new-build purchase with a construction phase. The five en-suite bedrooms suit large or blended families, as well as owners who regularly receive guests and value everyone having a private bathroom. The lower-level studio with its own shower room is relevant for buyers who work from home or want self-contained accommodation for visitors or older children. A buyer prioritising outdoor living will find the combination of a private pool, landscaped garden and a glazed covered terrace that extends usable outdoor time across the seasons a practical match. The orientation towards the south and west favours those who value afternoon and evening sun, whether for swimming, dining outside or simply sitting on the terrace as the light fades over the bay. The setting also works for golf players: the villa sits adjacent to Chaparral Golf, with several other courses within driving distance. Buyers who want to live without a car full-time will find basic errands feasible on foot, though beach and city trips involve driving. Finally, the property suits someone who values a stable residential community over a resort-style complex with shared facilities, since amenity here is private rather than communal. What it does not fit is a buyer seeking a new-build warranty, on-site communal leisure facilities, or a frontline-beach location within walking distance of the sand.
The villa has undergone a complete renovation and refurbishment, and the interior reflects a contemporary standard rather than its 1979 origins. The kitchen is described as a luxury installation with a breakfast room and a central island, visible in the property photography alongside built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms and modernised bathrooms with new vanity units. The living room opens directly onto a covered dining terrace, which is fitted with glass curtains of good quality, allowing the space to be closed off in cooler weather while retaining the sea view. Climate control is addressed on several fronts: hot and cold air conditioning throughout, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and a fireplace for the winter months. This layered approach is practical in a coastal Andalusian climate where winter evenings can be cool despite mild daytime temperatures. The principal bedroom suite has panoramic sea views across the pool and gardens and direct access to a private terrace. Each of the four main bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom, and the fifth lower-level room has a shower room and WC of its own. Practical provision includes a large integral garage and a driveway for two additional cars. The condition is listed as excellent, recently renovated and recently refurbished, which suggests the major works, including the glass curtains, kitchen and bathrooms, are of recent date. As with any renovated property, buyers will want to verify the exact scope and age of the renovation during the technical survey, particularly regarding insulation, glazing and electrical installations in a building of this age.
The villa is offered as an existing home at a fixed asking price of €1,350,000. This is not a price-list project with tiered from-prices: the amount applies to this specific property with its 270 m² of living space, 716 m² plot, five en-suite bedrooms, private pool and garage. The price reflects the completed renovation, meaning no separate budget for refurbishment needs to be factored in. For context within the wider region, new-build apartments in Torre del Mar, Estepona and Mijas currently start between roughly €205,000 and €270,000, which positions this property in a different segment of the market. Availability is immediate, as the home is key-ready.
Daily life here centres on the villa itself and the immediate garden setting. With a south to south-west orientation, the terraces and pool area receive afternoon and evening sun, which shapes how the outdoor space is used: swimming and dining outdoors late into the evening are realistic in the warmer months. The covered terrace with glass curtains functions as an intermediate zone, open in summer and enclosed against cooler weather in winter, effectively adding a year-round living room with sea views. Inside, the house is organised around generous bedroom accommodation: four en-suite bedrooms in the main living area and a fifth room with its own shower and WC on the lower level, suitable as an office or independent guest quarters. This makes the property workable for a large family, for households that regularly host visitors, or for owners who want a separated space for remote work. The urbanisation is described as well maintained and financially sound, with similar private residences around it, which points to a stable residential character rather than a seasonal rental environment. For groceries and pharmacy visits, the nearest facilities sit within a kilometre, so routine errands do not require a car. Beaches, golf and the wider city require driving, but distances remain short: the nearest beach lies about 6 km away as the crow flies. The rhythm of the area is therefore residential and quiet by default, with the option to move towards the coast, golf or central Málaga within a quarter of an hour by car.
The immediate surroundings are urban and walkable for daily needs: a supermarket sits roughly 800 metres away and a pharmacy just under 900 metres, both in a straight line. Within two kilometres, the area counts nineteen restaurants, ten cafés, five banks and a second pharmacy, giving the neighbourhood a full-service character outside the holiday season. A hospital is about 3.1 km away and there are four health centres in the wider area. For electric vehicle owners, a charging point lies 1.2 km from the property. Public transport is present with eight lines and sixty-nine stops in the municipality, and railway stations at Fuengirola (4.8 km straight-line) and Carvajal (8.9 km) connect the area to the regional rail network towards Málaga and Fuengirola. Education is well covered, with 41 primary schools and 28 secondary schools in the broader municipality, relevant for families considering year-round residence. The balance of the area is residential rather than purely touristic, although tourism infrastructure, including 52 hotels, exists nearby, meaning summer months bring more activity to the coastal strip. For a household based here, the practical picture is one of short distances to everything routine, with the car used mainly for the beach, golf and the airport run.
The map shows the villa in its setting above La Cala Bay, with Chaparral Golf directly adjacent and the beaches of the Mijas coast a short distance to the south. Straight-line distances to the supermarket, pharmacy, hospital, golf courses and Málaga Airport can be read directly from the plotted points.

Within the Costa del Sol, this location occupies a middle position between the metropolitan pull of Málaga, about 6 km away, and the resort towns further west such as Marbella at 45 km. It combines urban-level services, education and healthcare with a coastal residential character. The proximity of the airport at 7.8 km straight-line is a distinguishing feature for international buyers, shortening both arrival journeys and rental accessibility. Compared with inland alternatives, the elevation of 41 metres and the position above the bay give sea views without the driving distances that hillside villas often require.
Measured in straight-line kilometres, the nearest beaches are Playa de San Andrés at 6.2 km, Playa de la Malagueta at 6.7 km and Playa de la Misericordia at 6.9 km; actual road distances will be somewhat longer. Málaga Airport lies 7.8 km away as the crow flies, which makes arrivals and departures straightforward, with the drive typically well under twenty minutes. Golf options fan out across the region: Club de Golf de Guadalhorce at 6.9 km, Club de Golf Málaga Parador at 10 km and Campo de Golf Miguel Ángel Jiménez at 12 km, in addition to Chaparral Golf immediately adjacent to the property. Málaga city centre, with roughly 579,000 inhabitants, is about 6 km away, offering the full range of cultural and commercial facilities of a provincial capital. Marbella lies 45 km along the coast and Granada 92 km inland, both feasible as day trips. By car, the coastal arterial roads provide the main access routes. Public transport with eight lines and the nearby Cercanías stations gives a workable alternative for commutes along the coast.

The area sits at a modest elevation of 41 metres above sea level, so the terrain around the villa involves limited slope, though the property's views over La Cala Bay indicate it occupies a raised position relative to the shoreline. The climate is Mediterranean with an average annual temperature of 18.5°C and monthly averages ranging from about 12°C in winter to 26°C in summer, a range that supports outdoor living for most of the year. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts around four months, so the private pool effectively extends the swimming window beyond what the sea alone offers. Winters are mild: the fireplace and underfloor bathroom heating cover the cooler evenings, while the glass curtains on the covered terrace keep an outdoor-feeling room usable through the shoulder seasons. Rainfall is concentrated outside the summer months, in line with the regional pattern, and sunshine hours are high for European standards, which is what sustains the garden and the outdoor-oriented layout of the house.

The coastline near El Chaparral holds five Blue Flag beaches: Calahonda (Riviera), Calahonda I (Royal Beach-La Luna), El Bombo, El Chaparral and La Cala. The Blue Flag designation indicates water quality and services such as lifeguard cover and access facilities during the season. The nearest sand is about 6 km away as the crow flies, so beach visits are a short drive rather than a walk. Golf is the strongest recreational card in the immediate setting: the villa borders Chaparral Golf directly, and three further courses lie within 12 straight-line kilometres, giving players a choice of layouts without long journeys. For broader sport, the municipality counts 266 sports facilities, ranging from public courts to private clubs. Walking and cycling are feasible in the coastal and hinterland zones, and the sea view towards Morocco on clear days reflects the open southern horizon across the strait. Restaurants and cafés within two kilometres of the property, nineteen and ten respectively, cover everyday dining, while the wider La Cala de Mijas area adds seasonal beachside options.

El Chaparral is a southbound vehicle crossing from San Diego into Tijuana. It is part of the San Ysidro Port of Entry. It replaced the former entry point known as Puerta México which stood immediately east of El Chaparral. The opening of El Chaparral roughly tripled the number of traffic lanes to 22, reducing wait times for vehicles entering Mexico. It is roughly in the same location as the former Virginia Avenue crossing, where trucks entering the US from Mexico prior to 1983 was located. Access is via a four-lane, temporary access road that is 0.2 miles (0.32 km) long and leads west from the end of Interstate 5.

At a fixed asking price of €1,350,000, this villa occupies a different segment from the current new-build supply in the region. Comparable apartment projects such as Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950), Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) serve buyers at entry and mid-market levels, typically offering two- and three-bedroom apartments with communal pools. Those projects deliver modern specifications and community facilities, but not the land, privacy or space of an individual villa. This property, by contrast, offers 716 m² of private plot, a private pool, five en-suite bedrooms and an integral garage, in a completed and renovated state with no waiting period. The setting strengthens the comparison: direct adjacency to a golf course, sea views from an elevated position, and a location roughly equidistant in practical terms from Málaga city and the beaches of the Mijas coast, with the airport only 7.8 km away in a straight line. Within the Mijas coastal zone, the housing market records around 4,743 transactions per year in the wider area, indicating an active resale environment, which matters for liquidity should the owner later sell. The regional fundamentals, an average annual temperature of 18.5°C, five Blue Flag beaches nearby and a resident population of roughly 95,000 in the municipality, support year-round occupation rather than purely seasonal use. The trade-off against new-build alternatives is age: the structure dates from 1979, so while the renovation is recent, the buyer takes on a building of mature construction rather than a developer warranty. For buyers weighing space, privacy and immediate availability against communal facilities and new construction, this villa and the apartment projects represent the two ends of the same market.
