Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is situated in Manilva, positioned at the border of Málaga and Cádiz provinces. The property lies close to the coastline with the nearest beach at La Duquesa just 2.5 km away. The surrounding area features a mix of residential developments with access to local amenities within a short distance.
The property accommodates three bedrooms and two bathrooms across its 228 m² layout. The living spaces include an open-plan design connecting kitchen and living areas, with private terraces extending the living space outdoors. The 540 m² plot provides space for outdoor activities and garden maintenance.
This villa was completed in 1988, making it an established property rather than new construction. The building is classified as completed and ready for occupation. The property has undergone updates including a newly fitted kitchen while maintaining its original architectural character.
The villa does not offer communal facilities or services typically found in new developments. As a standalone property, maintenance of gardens and pool are the responsibility of the owner. The location requires some form of transportation for access to certain amenities and distant destinations. There is no elevator in the two-storey structure.
This property would suit buyers seeking an established villa with garden and pool rather than an apartment or new-build townhouse. It accommodates those requiring space for a family or regular guests, with three separate bedroom areas. The location appeals to those who wish to live near the coast without being in a high-density tourist area. The combination of indoor and outdoor living spaces makes it suitable for year-round occupation or extended seasonal use. The property would also suit those who value having their own outdoor space for entertaining and relaxation, as well as those who require parking for multiple vehicles. Its proximity to golf courses would appeal to golf enthusiasts, while the nearby beaches and marinas provide alternative leisure options.
The villa features a recently fitted kitchen with modern appliances and finishes, contrasting with the traditional Andalusian architectural elements of the property. The bathroom facilities include an ensuite arrangement for the master bedroom. Interior features include fitted wardrobes providing built-in storage solutions. The living space incorporates an open fireplace for cooler months. Outdoor elements include a private 8x5 metre pool set within landscaped gardens, a designated barbecue area, and covered terraces with retractable glass panels offering flexible usage. The property includes an alarm system as a security measure. The overall condition is described as excellent, indicating ongoing maintenance and updates despite the 1988 construction date.
The property is listed at €695,000, positioning it within the upper segment of Manilva's residential market. This price reflects the combination of plot size, built area, and established location. Comparable properties in the area include Blue View Heights from €490,000, Kristina Views from €545,000, and Golden View II from €562,750. The villa represents a premium option compared to these developments, with pricing that accounts for its larger plot and individual character rather than being part of a homogeneous development.
Daily life at this villa centres around its outdoor spaces, with the private pool and terraces serving as extensions of the living areas during warmer months. The south-west facing orientation means the garden receives afternoon sun, making it suitable for outdoor dining and relaxation. The proximity to local amenities (supermarket at 315m, pharmacy at 159m) allows for routine errands on foot. The location provides a balance between accessibility and a sense of remove, with beaches and leisure facilities within a short drive while maintaining a residential atmosphere. The two upper terraces offer different experiences, one enclosed with retractable glass for year-round use, the other open for summer enjoyment with views extending to the African coastline.
The villa's location in Manilva provides access to both essential services and leisure facilities. Daily necessities like supermarkets (315m) and pharmacies (159m) are within walking distance, while larger shopping centres and medical facilities require short journeys. The area has six public transport routes with 36 stops, offering alternatives to private car use. The local infrastructure includes one health centre, educational facilities (three primary schools and one secondary school), and 34 sports facilities within the municipality.
