This key-ready villa stands on the front line of the Cerrado del Águila golf course in Cerros del Águila, Mijas, on the Costa del Sol. Completed in 2021, the property offers 364 m² of built space arranged over three levels, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a separate guest toilet. A private pool, several terraces and covered parking for two cars are set on a 586 m² plot. The asking price is €1,400,000. Views extend over the golf course towards the Mediterranean, with Marbella roughly 20 km and Málaga around 30 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Cerros del Águila is a residential area in the municipality of Mijas, set inland from the coast at about 45 m above sea level. The nearest beaches, including Playa del Castillo, lie 3.2 km away in a straight line, and Fuengirola's train station is 3.3 km distant. The villa itself borders Cerrado del Águila Golf, which means the immediate surroundings are green, low-rise and comparatively quiet outside peak holiday periods.
The house is laid out for year-round living as much as for holidays. Four bedrooms across three levels allow guests or family to stay independently, and the lower floor with its own small kitchen, billiard room and lounge functions as a self-contained zone. Everyday needs are covered within 2 km: ten restaurants, four pharmacies, three banks and fifteen primary schools serve the wider area, so daily life does not depend on long car journeys.
This is an existing home completed in 2021 and described as key-ready, meaning no construction phase or waiting period applies. The buyer purchases a finished property that can be transferred in the normal timeframe of a resale transaction. Fixtures noted in the data include air conditioning, solar panels, fitted wardrobes and covered parking for two vehicles; any delivery or handover dates remain indicative until confirmed in the purchase process.
The data records no communal facilities such as a gym, spa or residents' club, and the pool is private rather than part of a shared complex. It is not a beachfront property: the sea is 3.2 km away by direct distance, which in practice means a short drive. No information is available in the source data about lift access, heating type beyond air conditioning, or annual community fees, so buyers should verify these points directly.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A household relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol that wants a finished, recently built home rather than an off-plan purchase will find the 2021 completion and key-ready status relevant, since it removes construction risk and rental bridging periods. Golf players form a second obvious group: the club is a few hundred metres away on foot, and two further courses, Los Lagos and Los Olivos, lie within 2.3 km, so a car is not needed for a round. Families with school-age children can draw on fifteen primary and ten secondary schools in the area, plus three health centres. Multi-generational or hospitality-heavy households benefit from the three-level layout, in which the lower floor with its own kitchen and bathroom operates almost as an annexe. Buyers seeking a second home that can also generate rental income will note the tourism infrastructure nearby, 29 hotels and roughly 9,400 beds, as an indicator of steady visitor demand. Conversely, buyers who want to walk to the beach daily, or who require communal facilities such as a shared pool, gym or 24-hour reception, will find this property less aligned with those priorities, since the sea is 3.2 km away by direct distance and the amenities are private to the house.
The villa was completed in 2021, which places it within the current generation of Costa del Sol construction standards: better insulation norms, pre-installation for climate systems and contemporary fittings are typical of that period. The recorded specification includes air conditioning, fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, a utility room and a storage room, practical elements that affect daily use more than appearance. Solar panels are installed, which reduces electricity consumption for water heating or general supply and lowers running costs relative to older stock in the same price bracket. The bathrooms are fitted with showers throughout, three in total plus a separate guest toilet on the main floor. Outdoor finishes follow the regional convention for this segment: a private pool, a low-maintenance garden on the 586 m² plot, a covered terrace, a private terrace and a built-in barbecue. Covered parking for two cars protects vehicles from sun exposure, a practical point given the climate. The interior photographs show a modern, minimalist finish with large windows in the living areas and bedrooms, oriented towards the golf course and garden views. The lower level is finished to the same standard as the rest of the house rather than as a basement, with a billiard room and lounge, which indicates it was planned as living space from the outset. Buyers should still arrange an independent technical survey to verify installations, as with any resale purchase.
The property is offered as an existing home with a fixed asking price of €1,400,000. This is not a price-list project, so there are no unit variants or from-prices; the figure applies to this specific villa with its 364 m² of built area, 586 m² plot, four bedrooms and private pool. Compared with new-build developments in the wider region, which start between roughly €205,000 and €321,950, this home sits at the upper segment, with the price reflecting its size, 2021 construction date and front-line golf position. Availability is immediate in principle, as the house is key-ready; the actual transfer date depends on the standard purchase process.
Living here revolves around the rhythm of a golf-side residential neighbourhood. The main floor works as the everyday hub: an open-plan kitchen, dining area and living room flow onto covered terraces and the garden, so meals and downtime can move outdoors for much of the year. With an average annual temperature of 18.6 °C and monthly averages between 14 and 26 °C, terrace use is not confined to summer. The upper floor holds two bedrooms with golf and sea views and access to a rooftop terrace, which in this climate functions almost as an extra living room. The lower level is the flexible part of the house: a fourth bedroom, a shower room, a small kitchen, a billiard room and a TV lounge, with direct access to the pool. That arrangement suits households that regularly host visitors, teenagers who want their own space, or owners who plan to work from home and need separation between living and sleeping zones. Day-to-day shopping, schools and healthcare sit within a few kilometres, while the coastline at La Cala de Mijas and Fuengirola is close enough for an evening swim or a beachfront dinner without a lengthy journey. The area stays residential in character year-round rather than emptying out after August, which matters for anyone planning permanent residence.
The immediate setting is defined by the golf course: the villa sits on its front line, and the data records the club roughly 300 metres away, with Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila 0.9 km distant for other racket sports. Everyday errands are local. Within 2 km there are ten restaurants, four pharmacies, three banks and two cafés, which covers most routine needs without heading into town. For larger shopping and services, Fuengirola lies about 4 km away by direct distance, with its train station at 3.3 km and the marina at 3.9 km. Healthcare is organised around three health centres in the area, and education spans fifteen primary schools and ten secondary schools, making the location workable for resident families rather than only holidaymakers. Sports facilities extend beyond golf: Ciudad Deportiva Las Lagunas is 2.2 km away, Karting Experience 2.6 km, and a public swimming pool at Piscina Bellavista 2.8 km. The terrain is essentially flat, the gradient to the beach is measured at 1.3%, so cycling and walking to the coast are realistic options. Public transport is present with eight lines and fifty stops in the area, an unusually good figure for a residential district this size, though most residents will use a car as their primary means of transport.
The map shows the villa on the front line of Cerrado del Águila Golf, with the Mijas coastline 3.2 km to the south and Fuengirola's town centre and station just beyond. Marbella lies 20 km west and Málaga 30 km east, framing the property within the central Costa del Sol corridor.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Cerros del Águila occupies a middle position on the western Costa del Sol: inland of Fuengirola, east of Marbella (20 km) and west of Málaga city and its airport (21–30 km). This places the property within the zone residents often call central Costa del Sol, close enough to Marbella's amenities and Málaga's culture and flights for regular visits, while remaining in a residential Mijas setting with lower density than the coastal strip. Algeciras, at 84 km, marks the far edge of the practical radius towards Cádiz province. The location trades beachfront proximity for golf-side calm and views, a common pattern in Mijas where hillside and course-side homes sit a few kilometres from the shore.
Beaches sit 3.2 km away in a straight line, Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral are all at that distance, so the sea is a five-minute drive rather than a walk. Two marinas broaden the coastal offer: Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 3.9 km and Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km, both within an easy reach for boat trips or waterfront dining. Golf is the closest amenity of all: Cerrado del Águila Golf at 1.1 km on the mapped measurement, with Mijas' Los Lagos at 1.7 km and Los Olivos at 2.3 km. Regional access runs through two airports: Málaga-Costa del Sol is about 21 km away by direct distance, one of the reasons this stretch of coast is popular with international owners, while Gibraltar is roughly 75 km. Rail connections come via the Cercanías line at Fuengirola station, 3.3 km away, with Los Boliches at 4.6 km; from there trains run towards Málaga city, about 30 km straight-line. Marbella lies 20 km to the west. All distances are as the crow flies; actual road distances and travel times will be longer, particularly on the coastal road in summer.

The climate data points to a typical Costa del Sol profile: an average annual temperature of 18.6 °C, monthly averages ranging from 14 °C in winter to 26 °C in summer, and a swimming season of five months during which sea water stays at or above 20 °C. For practical purposes, that means outdoor living from roughly May to October and mild, but not tropical, winters in which the terraces and pool remain usable on many days. The site sits at 45 m above sea level on essentially flat terrain, a 1.3% gradient towards the beach, which distinguishes it from hillside developments further inland in Mijas where steep access roads and stairs are common. The elevation is sufficient to open panoramic views over the golf course to the sea and mountains without the climb that higher properties demand. The green belt of three golf courses within 2.3 km shapes the natural surroundings, providing open, irrigated landscape rather than dense urban blocks. The immediate microclimate benefits from this: more vegetation and slightly more air movement than in the built-up coastal strip. Rainfall concentrates in the cooler months, leaving long dry stretches that suit a low-maintenance garden of the type installed here.

The nearest stretch of coast combines three beaches within the same 3.2 km radius: Playa del Castillo, Playa Mati and Playa El Chaparral. El Chaparral in particular is known as one of the quieter, less developed beaches in the Mijas area, backed by dune vegetation rather than a full promenade, which appeals to residents who prefer a natural shoreline over busy chiringuito rows. Water sports and boat access run through the two marinas: Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola at 3.9 km and the smaller, sheltered Puerto Cabopino at 9.1 km, the latter a well-regarded spot for dining at the water's edge. Recreation on land is unusually well covered for a residential district. Golf dominates, with Cerrado del Águila effectively next door, plus Los Lagos and Los Olivos in Mijas within 2.3 km. Padel players have Club de Pádel Cerrado del Águila at 0.9 km. Families with children can use Piscina Bellavista, a public pool 2.8 km away, and Karting Experience at 2.6 km. The viewpoint at La Cala de Mijas, 3.6 km away, marks the traditional evening destination: a short drive for sunset over the sea and the village's restaurants. For electric-car owners, the Fuengirola Supercharger station is 7.7 km away, useful for fast charging before longer journeys along the coast.

Within the regional market, this villa occupies a different segment from the new-build projects typically listed alongside it. Comparable developments such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €321,000) are price-list projects with apartment-style living and communal facilities. This property is a single, completed detached-villa-style home with a fixed €1,400,000 asking price, private outdoor space and no shared amenities, a fundamentally different product for a buyer who prioritises privacy and space over communal pools and on-site services. Location-wise, Cerros del Águila sits between Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas, roughly 20 km from Marbella and 30 km from Málaga. That central position is one of the area's practical strengths: both the airport (about 21 km by direct distance) and the Marbella catchment fall within a short drive, while the immediate surroundings remain residential and green. Against Torre del Mar on the eastern Costa del Sol, the west has more established international infrastructure, more schools, health centres and year-round services, but also higher price levels, which the local median income of €16,450 per household in the province underlines: this is a market driven substantially by buyers from outside the region. Within Mijas itself, front-line golf positions carry a premium over village and coastal apartments, and the roughly 2,169 housing transactions per year in the area indicate a liquid resale market, relevant for anyone factoring exit options into the purchase. Buyers weighing this villa against a new-build alternative should weigh the trade-off directly: a finished, four-bedroom golf-front home available now, versus smaller new units at a lower entry price but with construction timelines, community fees and communal rather than private outdoor space.
