A detached villa of 454 m² on a 1,218 m² plot in La Sierrezuela, Mijas Costa, completed in its current form following a full renovation in 2021. The property offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with the main living areas and four bedrooms arranged on a single level. It includes a private pool, a two-car garage, a separate studio apartment of approximately 70 m² and a multi-use room of around 40 m². The asking price is €1,345,000. The villa holds a valid touristic licence and sits in a suburban residential setting roughly 4.2 km from the nearest beach, as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa stands in La Sierrezuela, a residential enclave within Mijas Costa, at 279 metres above sea level. An urban environment with amenities within walking distance surrounds it: a supermarket lies 239 m away and a pharmacy 265 m. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, is 4.2 km in a straight line, with a 6.5% gradient on the route down. Málaga airport is approximately 14 km away.
The layout places four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, the kitchen and living areas on one level without steps, which suits families and people with reduced mobility. Three bedrooms open directly onto the pool terrace. The separate studio apartment with its own entrance and the multi-use room accommodate guests, remote work or hobbies. Air conditioning is fitted per bedroom, and all windows have shutters.
This is an existing home, not a new-build project. Originally constructed in 1996, it was completely renovated in 2021. The construction status is key-ready, meaning the buyer can move in directly. The completion date of the renovation, 2021, is indicative and should be verified during the purchase process. No further construction phases or delivery schedule apply to this property.
The property is a single detached villa; no further units, phases or price list are available. It does not sit directly on the seafront: the beach is 4.2 km away in a straight line and the descent has a steep gradient of 6.5%. There is no sea view; the documented views are of countryside, garden, pool and panoramic surroundings. The nearest train station, Carvajal, is 4.3 km away, so daily rail commuting requires transport to the station.

Several recognisable situations fit this property. Families with children or with a member who has reduced mobility benefit from the step-free, single-level arrangement of the four main bedrooms and all primary living spaces. Multi-generational households or those with frequent guests can use the self-contained studio apartment, which has its own kitchen, bathroom and separate entrance. Buyers working remotely may find the 40 m² multi-use room, currently a yoga studio, convertible into an office, gym or hobby space. Purchasers seeking a licensed rental business will note the valid touristic licence and documented rental history, though returns depend on management and market conditions and are not guaranteed. People relocating permanently to the Costa del Sol will find schools, health centres and supermarkets within practical reach, with 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the area. Retirees wanting a low-maintenance garden benefit from automatic irrigation and lighting. Buyers who require a seafront position should look elsewhere: the beach is 4.2 km away as the crow flies, with a steep descent. Households needing more than four bedrooms on the main level plus the studio's fifth should verify the current layout against their requirements. Investors comparing against new-build alternatives in the region should weigh the fixed price of €1,345,000 against from-prices of roughly €205,000 to €270,000 at comparable developments, while accounting for the difference in size, plot and licence status.
The villa was originally built in 1996 and completely renovated in 2021 to a high standard, according to the seller's documentation. The renovation delivered a modern kitchen with an island and breakfast area, an open-plan living and dining space, and bathrooms finished with contemporary fittings including a walk-in shower, a bathtub and double washbasins in the master ensuite. Every bedroom has fitted wardrobes and individual air conditioning, allowing temperature control per room. All windows have shutters, which assist with heat management and privacy. Climate control covers hot and cold air conditioning, complemented by a fireplace in the living room for winter months. The outdoor spaces include a covered terrace, a private pool and a barbecue area, with the tropical garden equipped with an automated watering system and lighting. The garage accommodates two cars behind an electric gate. The lower level adds the studio apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom and lounge, and the multi-purpose room. The south orientation supports passive solar gain in winter while the shutters and air conditioning manage summer heat. Condition is documented as excellent. Buyers should independently verify the renovation quality through a technical survey, as is standard practice for existing homes in Spain; no energy performance details are reproduced here.
The asking price is a fixed €1,345,000 for the property as a whole. This is an existing, key-ready home completed after full renovation in 2021, so there is no price list, no unit variation and no from-price. The purchase covers the main house of approximately 230 m² with four bedrooms, the separate studio apartment of roughly 70 m², the multi-use room of about 40 m², the two-car garage, the pool and the landscaped plot of 1,218 m². A valid touristic licence transfers with the property, which is a documented fact relevant to buyers considering rental use. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to the standard Spanish purchase process.
Daily life at this villa is organised around a single-level layout with the pool terrace between the two wings of the house. The main wing pairs an open-plan kitchen with an island and breakfast area with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The opposite wing contains the dining area, a living room with lounge, bar and fireplace, a master suite with ensuite bathroom, a third bathroom and a fourth double bedroom. This arrangement keeps the core household functions on one floor, with the lower garden level reserved for the studio apartment and the flexible room currently used as a yoga studio. The garden is tropical in character with automatic irrigation and lighting, which reduces routine maintenance. Outdoor dining with a barbecue area sits alongside the private pool. Practical errands are short: the supermarket is 239 m away and the pharmacy 265 m, both walkable. Within two kilometres there are 32 restaurants, four banks, three pharmacies and three cafés, giving the immediate area a settled, urbanised residential rhythm rather than a seasonal one. Education is well covered, with 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools in the area, and two health centres serve the district. The position inland from the coast, at 279 metres elevation, means cooler evenings than directly at sea level, while beaches remain reachable by car. A car is convenient but not strictly necessary for everything, since eight public transport lines with 50 stops serve the area. The house functions equally as a permanent family residence or as a licensed rental property, and the existing documentation reflects both uses.
The surroundings combine suburban residential calm with urban convenience. A supermarket 239 m away and a pharmacy 265 m away make daily shopping possible on foot. The broader area offers 32 restaurants, four banks and three cafés within two kilometres, plus a municipal swimming pool at 1.9 km. Sports facilities include a polideportivo at 1.8 km and the Lew Hoad tennis and padel club at 2.4 km. For rail travel, Carvajal station is 4.3 km away in a straight line, with Fuengirola station at 5.5 km, connecting to the Málaga commuter line. Eight public transport lines with 50 stops serve the district, so a car is helpful but not essential for every trip. Healthcare is available at two health centres locally, with a hospital 6.7 km away. The elevation of 279 metres and the 6.5% gradient to the coast mean the villa sits above the coastal strip, which affects the walking route to the sea but also separates the property from the busiest tourist zones. Several viewpoints lie within 1.4 km, indicating the hillside character of the immediate terrain.
The map shows the villa's position in La Sierrezuela, inland from the Fuengirola coastline. Note the supermarket and pharmacy within 300 metres, the railway stations along the coast, and the golf courses to the north-east. All marked distances are straight-line; road routes are longer.

Mijas Costa functions as the main commercial and residential zone associated with Fuengirola, positioned between the two anchor cities of the western Costa del Sol. Málaga, with 579,076 inhabitants, and Marbella, with 147,958, both lie 24 km away in a straight line in opposite directions, giving the location balanced access to the province's two largest employment and cultural centres. Algeciras, at 89 km, is the nearest large town to the south beyond that. This places the villa in an established residential belt rather than a resort enclave.
Beaches are 4.2 to 5.3 km away in a straight line: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal at 4.2 km, Playa de Torreblanca at 4.5 km and Playa de los Boliches at 4.7 km, all reached by car given the 6.5% gradient. Málaga-Costa del Sol airport is approximately 14 to 15 km away, a practical distance for regular international travel; Gibraltar airport is an alternative at roughly 80 km. Golf is well represented, with Campo Los Lagos at 5.2 km, Campo Los Olivos at 5.3 km, Mijas Golf at 5.7 km and Lauro Golf at 6.8 km, all straight-line distances. Fuengirola marina lies 5.7 km away. Everyday provision is close: supermarket at 239 m, pharmacy at 265 m, hospital at 6.7 km. Electric-vehicle charging includes the Fuengirola Supercharger at 3.7 km. Road distances will be longer than these straight-line figures.

The climate data for the area shows average monthly temperatures between 14 and 26°C, with an annual average of 16.9°C, reflecting the elevated inland position rather than the warmer coastal strip. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or above, lasts about four months. At 279 metres above sea level, the property sits on hillside terrain with a 6.5% gradient towards the beach, which brings country and panoramic views in place of sea views. The south orientation of the villa maximises daylight on the pool terrace and living areas throughout the year. Nearby viewpoints at 0.6 km, 0.8 km and 1.4 km indicate walking routes with vistas over the surrounding landscape. The subtropical garden planting matches the regional climate, where irrigation is routine in the dry summer months; the automated system installed here manages that task.

Three sandy beaches lie within roughly five kilometres in a straight line: Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal (4.2 km), Playa de Torreblanca (4.5 km) and Playa de los Boliches (4.7 km), the latter forming part of Fuengirola's long seafront with its paseo marítimo. Fuengirola's marina, Puerto Deportivo, is 5.7 km away and offers berths and waterfront dining. Golfers can reach four courses within seven kilometres: Campo Los Lagos, Campo Los Olivos, Mijas Golf and Lauro Golf. For organised sport, the municipal polideportivo at 1.8 km and the Lew Hoad tennis and padel club at 2.4 km cover racquet sports, while the municipal pool at 1.9 km provides year-round swimming. The area records 10 hotels with 2,131 beds, a moderate tourism footprint that indicates seasonal activity without the density of a resort core. All distances are straight-line; road travel takes longer.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a different segment from the current crop of new-build developments. Comparable projects such as Lantana Residencial in Mijas (from €205,000), Aquamar in Torre del Mar (from €269,950) and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona (from €269,000) offer apartment-style living at entry price points, typically with communal pools and smaller footprints. At a fixed €1,345,000, this property competes instead in the detached-villa segment, where the buyer acquires 454 m² of built space, a 1,218 m² private plot, a private pool and a two-car garage. The location itself is a settled residential zone of Mijas Costa linked to Fuengirola, positioned 24 km from both Málaga and Marbella as the crow flies, which keeps it within commuting range of the coast's two largest centres. The area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market, and the provincial median income of €16,450 provides context for local purchasing power, though international buyers dominate this villa segment. Two further points distinguish the property in regional terms. First, the valid touristic licence is a documented asset on the Costa del Sol, where holiday-let licensing has become more restrictive in recent years; new-build developments often do not include one. Second, the elevation of 279 metres and the 6.5% gradient to the beach place the villa above the coastal plain, trading sea views for country and panoramic views and somewhat cooler evenings. Buyers weighing this against a new-build apartment should also factor in that an existing 1996 building, even renovated in 2021, carries different maintenance considerations from a newly delivered development, and that the hospital at 6.7 km and the train stations at 4.3 to 6.1 km are the practical service thresholds for this hillside position.
