This project features a partially constructed detached villa with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, situated in the tranquil rural setting of Valtocado, near Mijas Pueblo. Boasting 250 m² of living space on a 2439 m² plot, it offers the potential for full customization of finishes. The main structure, including walls, is already in place, providing a solid foundation for completion. The location is characterized by peace and a rural atmosphere, with a focus on privacy and views.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
Located in Valtocado, an inland hillside area near Mijas Pueblo, this villa offers a serene environment with views. Its proximity to Mijas Pueblo provides access to cultural and gastronomic options, while the coastline and urban amenities of Fuengirola are within reach.
This project is ideal for buyers seeking to complete a home to their exact specifications. The generous living area and spacious plot offer flexibility for families, outdoor enthusiasts, or those requiring a dedicated home office space. The potential to create a private swimming pool aligns with an outdoor-oriented lifestyle.
The project is in the 'new construction' phase, with the main structure and walls already completed. Windows and interior works are yet to be finished. Estimated completion costs range between €300,000 and €400,000, depending on material choices and finish level.
This project is not a turnkey solution; the buyer must undertake the remaining construction and finishing works. A car is essential for daily travel in this rural setting, as public transport is limited and distances to amenities are significant.

This project is perfectly suited for buyers looking for a unique opportunity to realize a home entirely to their taste. It appeals to those who desire the structure of a new build but want the freedom to decide on interior design, finishes, and specific features.

An estimate for these completion works ranges from €300,000 to €400,000, depending on material selection and the scope of work.
Valtocado, a hillside area at approximately 372 meters above sea level, offers a peaceful alternative to the busier coastal areas. The environment is primarily rural and residential, ensuring a greater degree of privacy and quiet. Its proximity to Mijas Pueblo, a traditional white village, provides opportunities for cultural excursions and local gastronomy. The natural surroundings encourage walks and enjoyment of the landscape, with several viewpoints nearby. Life here is characterized by serenity, often with dramatic sunrises and sunsets painting the landscape.
Life in Valtocado, at an altitude of 372 meters, offers a quiet and rural existence, far from the hustle and bustle of the coast. The area is primarily agricultural and residential, with a low population density. The proximity to Mijas Pueblo provides a cultural hub with local shops, restaurants, and traditional Andalusian charm. Daily necessities, such as a supermarket and pharmacy, are located approximately 3.7 and 3.8 km away, making a car essential for most journeys. The nearby viewpoints invite recreational outings.
This map displays the villa's location in Valtocado, an area north of Mijas Pueblo and Fuengirola. It illustrates the inland position, proximity to golf courses, and the relative distance to the coastline and Málaga Airport.
Valtocado is strategically situated in the province of Málaga, inland from the popular coastal town of Fuengirola and the white village of Mijas. The project is located in the heart of the Costa del Sol, a region renowned for its beaches, golf courses, and Mediterranean lifestyle. Its elevated position offers a contrast to the immediate coastline, positioning the villa as a tranquil base with access to both natural beauty and urban amenities.
The villa is located approximately 18 km (as the crow flies) from Málaga Airport (AGP), a major hub for international travelers. The nearest beaches, such as Playa Torreblanca-Carvajal, are about 8 km away. For daily shopping, a supermarket is situated 3.7 km away, and a pharmacy at 3.8 km. The closest golf courses, Mijas Golf and Campo Los Olivos, are at 5.0 km and 5.2 km respectively. A car is essential, as public transport is limited to 3 lines and 19 stops within a wide radius.

Compared to projects on the immediate coastline, such as Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) or Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), this villa in Valtocado offers a larger plot and greater potential for customization, albeit at a higher starting price (€725,000). Its inland, hillside location distinguishes it from more flat, coast-focused developments. Alba Benalmadena (from €699,000) is closer to the coast and urban amenities but may lack the tranquility and expansive grounds of the Valtocado site. This project appeals to a buyer willing to invest additional funds in finishing to create a bespoke home in a more rural, panoramic setting, rather than opting for a ready-made apartment or villa closer to the bustle of the Costa del Sol.
