A detached villa of 463 m² on a 675 m² plot on the border of Mijas Costa and Fuengirola, offered at a fixed asking price of €999,000. The property was completed in 1983 and combines a main single-level house with three additional independent units, giving a total of seven bedrooms and four bathrooms. The villa is key-ready in the sense that it is immediately habitable in its current state, although its condition is recorded as fair and renovation or restoration works are required. It lies in an urban environment with a supermarket within roughly 240 metres, air conditioning, a private pool and sea views from several rooms.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa sits near the boundary between Mijas Costa and Fuengirola, in a built-up residential area with shops and services within walking distance. A supermarket is about 239 metres away and a pharmacy 265 metres, measured in a straight line. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, lies 4.2 km away as the crow flies, with the gradient towards the coast recorded as steep. Málaga Airport is 14 km away.
With seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and 463 m² of living space divided across a main house and three separate units, the property suits multi-generational living or rental configurations. The main house has two separate entrances and two kitchens, allowing division into two self-contained dwellings. The plot includes a private pool, several terraces, parking for several vehicles and two storage rooms.
This is not a new-build project. The villa was completed in 1983 and is an existing home with a fixed asking price. Its condition is listed as fair, with renovation and restoration explicitly required. Buyers should therefore budget for refurbishment costs and treat any delivery or completion timing as dependent on the scale of works they undertake after purchase.
The property does not offer new-build finishes, and its condition requires renovation and restoration work before it can reach a modern standard. There is no mention of a communal garden or shared facilities; outdoor space is limited to the private plot of 675 m². The walking route to the beach involves a steep gradient, and the original marketing claims of investment returns are unverified projections rather than guaranteed outcomes.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A family with adult children or regular guests can occupy the main house while relatives or visitors use the independent chalets and studio, each with its own entrance and privacy. An owner planning to combine living and income can live in one unit and let others, provided the required tourist or long-term rental licences are obtained. Buyers seeking a renovation project with the option to reconfigure, for instance converting the terrace chalet into a two-bedroom apartment or dividing the main house in two, will find the two-entrance, two-kitchen layout already geared towards that. The property suits those who want proximity to Fuengirola's services and transport without living in an apartment block, and who accept a steep walk to the beach in exchange for hillside sea views. It is less suitable for buyers wanting a turn-key, modern-finish home, since the fair condition requires substantial works, and for those who cannot manage stairs or sloped terrain across the plot. Investors should treat the advertised return projections as assumptions to be tested against realistic rental income, occupancy rates, licensing feasibility and refurbishment costs rather than as established figures.
Built in 1983, the villa reflects the construction methods and materials of that period, updated in places over the intervening decades. The condition is recorded as fair, and both renovation and restoration are explicitly listed as required, so buyers should expect dated finishes, systems needing review and works to bring the property up to current standards. Installed comforts include air conditioning, satellite television and WiFi, and the property benefits from double entrances, a secondary kitchen in the main house and two storage rooms. The three independent units have their own kitchens and terraces, with the poolside chalet overlooking the pool and the terrace chalet featuring a rooftop solarium. Practical points for technical inspection include the age of the roof and waterproofing, electrical wiring, plumbing, pool installations and the structural state of the terraces and solaria. The south, south-west and west orientation supports natural light and afternoon and evening sun on the outdoor spaces, which reduces heating demand in the mild local climate but also increases summer cooling needs. Given the multi-unit layout, buyers intending to let units should verify that each dwelling meets current habitability, ventilation and safety requirements. A survey by an independent architect is advisable before purchase, both to cost the renovation realistically and to confirm which parts of the structure can be retained.
The asking price is fixed at €999,000 for the entire property: main house, three independent units, pool, terraces, two storage rooms and parking, on a 675 m² plot. This is an existing home completed in 1983, so the price should be weighed against its recorded condition, which is fair, with renovation and restoration required. Comparable new-build projects in the region start considerably lower per unit, for example Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, but those offer smaller, newly finished apartments rather than a multi-unit villa. Buyers should factor refurbishment, licensing and furnishing costs into the total budget, and verify the legal status of all separate units with a notary before proceeding.
The property functions as a small residential complex on one plot rather than a conventional single family villa. The main house occupies one level and contains three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and two kitchens, with two separate entrances that allow it to be split into two independent dwellings. Around the pool and terraces stand three further units: a two-bedroom poolside chalet, a one-bedroom terrace chalet with a private roof solarium that could be reconfigured as a two-bedroom apartment, and a separate studio suitable for a home office, gym or additional accommodation. Daily life here revolves around the plot itself: morning sun on the south-, south-west- and west-facing terraces, swimming in the private pool, and outdoor dining areas sheltered by mature Mediterranean planting. Views extend towards the sea, the mountains and the surrounding landscape from different corners of the property. Beyond the gates, the neighbourhood is urban and practical. A supermarket is within roughly 240 metres and a pharmacy slightly further, while the wider area offers restaurants, banks and cafés within a two-kilometre radius. The beach is not on the doorstep: at 4.2 km in a straight line, with a steep gradient on the route down, reaching the sea is simplest by car or by using the train from Carvajal station, 4.3 km away. The layout lends itself to households that value independence under one roof, or to owners who wish to occupy one unit and let others, although any letting activity must comply with regional licensing rules.
The immediate surroundings are urban and well serviced. Within roughly 240 metres there is a supermarket, with a pharmacy about 265 metres away; within two kilometres the count includes 32 restaurants, three pharmacies, four banks and three cafés. Healthcare is covered by a hospital 6.7 km away and two health centres in the area, and education options include 15 primary schools and 10 secondary schools, which matters for permanent relocation rather than holiday use. The nearest beach, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, lies 4.2 km away in a straight line, with Playa de la Torreblanca and Playa de los Boliches slightly further; the 6.5% gradient towards the coast means the walk back up is demanding, so most residents drive or use public transport. The Cercanías train stations at Carvajal (4.3 km), Fuengirola (5.5 km) and Torremuelle (6.1 km) connect the area to Málaga and the airport, and eight bus lines with 50 stops serve the locality, meaning a car is useful but not essential for every trip. Sports facilities nearby include a public sports centre 1.8 km away, a municipal swimming pool 1.9 km away and the Lew Hoad tennis and padel club 2.4 km away. The elevated position at 279 metres above sea level brings sea and mountain views and slightly cooler evenings than at the coast itself.
The map shows the villa in its hillside setting between Mijas Costa and Fuengirola, with the coastline and nearest beaches roughly four kilometres below and the golf courses of the Mijas valley to the north. The markers make the walkable radius around the property visible: supermarket, pharmacy and viewpoints nearby, transport links and the airport a short drive away.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Mijas Costa is the main commercial and residential zone associated with, though not limited to, Fuengirola, positioned roughly midway between Málaga (24 km) and Marbella (24 km) along the Costa del Sol. This gives residents access to two very different urban centres within a similar travel time: Málaga with its airport, culture and 579,076 inhabitants, and Marbella with 147,958 inhabitants and its established resort economy. The area records around 3,800 housing transactions per year, indicating an active resale market, and tourism infrastructure of 10 hotels with some 2,131 beds keeps seasonal demand for accommodation consistent.
Distances below are straight-line measurements, as the crow flies, and actual road distances may be longer. Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is 14–15 km away, making it reachable by car or the nearby train line, while Gibraltar Airport is roughly 80 km away. Beaches lie between 4.2 and 5.3 km away, and Fuengirola marina is 5.7 km from the property. Golfers have three courses within easy reach: Campo Los Lagos at 5.2 km, Campo Los Olivos at 5.3 km and Mijas Golf at 5.7 km. Daily essentials are the strongest point of this location: the supermarket at 239 metres and the pharmacy at 265 metres mean basic shopping does not require a car. An electric-vehicle charger is available 3.8 km away, including a Supercharger in Fuengirola at 3.7 km. For longer trips, the regional cities of Málaga and Marbella both lie about 24 km away in opposite directions along the coast.

The property stands at 279 metres above sea level, high enough for panoramic views over the coastline and the mountains behind Mijas, but low enough that winters remain mild. The average annual temperature is 16.9°C, with monthly averages ranging from 14°C in the coldest months to 26°C in summer, a profile dominated by sunshine and limited rainfall. The swimming season, defined by sea temperatures of 20°C or more, lasts about four months, so pool and sea use is concentrated in late spring to early autumn, although the private pool extends the season somewhat on warm shoulder-month days. The steep gradient towards the sea is a defining physical characteristic: it buys the views and privacy but means walking to the beach involves a real climb back. Several viewpoints within 1.5 km, including Mirador Hermanos Nuñez Andreu at 600 metres, underline the hillside character of the area. The south, south-west and west orientation of the villa maximises afternoon and evening sun on the terraces, which is pleasant for outdoor living but increases summer cooling demand on the air conditioning.

The nearest beaches, Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal at 4.2 km and Playa de Torreblanca at 4.5 km as the crow flies, sit at the Fuengirola end of the coast, known for wide sandy stretches and a full promenade of chiringuitos and facilities. Playa de los Boliches, at 4.7 km, is a family-oriented beach backed by a residential neighbourhood with restaurants and shops. All three are most conveniently reached by car given the steep return climb. Golf is a strong feature of this location, with Mijas Golf, Los Lagos and Los Olivos all within about six kilometres, a concentration of courses unusual even by Costa del Sol standards. For racket sports, the Lew Hoad Tennis and Padel Club lies 2.4 km away, and a municipal sports centre and public swimming pool are within two kilometres. Fuengirola marina, 5.7 km away, offers moorings, boat trips and seasonal water activities. Hiking options are present in the nearby sierra, with several marked viewpoints within walking distance of the villa itself.

Within the wider Costa del Sol market, this villa occupies a specific niche: it is an older, multi-unit property sold on plot value and configuration rather than on new-build quality. Comparable new developments listed in the region price from €205,000 to €269,950, Lantana Residencial in Mijas from €205,000, Aquamar in Torre del Mar from €269,950 and Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona from €269,000, but these are newly finished apartments or townhouses, typically with two or three bedrooms and communal facilities, and located further from the central Fuengirola, Mijas coastal belt. Against that backdrop, €999,000 for a 463 m² villa on a 675 m² plot with seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private pool and four separable dwellings places the property in the segment of buyers seeking space and income flexibility rather than turn-key comfort. The comparison is therefore not purely on price per square metre: a new apartment offers warranty, energy efficiency and low maintenance, while this villa offers volume, subdivision potential and a hillside view position that new coastal builds rarely combine. Locationally, the Mijas Costa, Fuengirola border is one of the more practical addresses on the coast, within about 14 km of the airport, 24 km from both Málaga and Marbella, and with walkable daily amenities, which supports year-round rental demand, a factor relevant to the investment case the seller highlights. Buyers comparing options should weigh refurbishment costs here against the higher entry prices of comparable finished villas closer to the sea, since renovated multi-unit properties in Fuengirola and Mijas typically trade well above this asking price.
