This villa for sale in Mijas Costa sits in a quiet Lower Calahonda cul-de-sac and comes with a private pool and a separate one-bedroom apartment. Only six properties share the street, so there is almost no passing traffic, and the plot is walled and gated behind large electric gates. You get 460 m² of living space on three levels, set on a 944 m² plot where mature plants and trees give privacy and keep the garden relatively low-maintenance.
The Villa: Layout and Living Space
You enter through a hallway that leads to a fully fitted kitchen with a central island and quality appliances. The kitchen has two doorways into the dining and living room, so cooking and entertaining never feel cut off from each other. The room has high ceilings, a media wall and a working fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed sliding doors open onto a covered wraparound terrace.
This level also holds a double bedroom with a full bathroom and direct garden access. That makes it a practical choice for older relatives or guests who prefer to avoid stairs.
A staircase under beamed ceilings takes you to the upper floor, where a large stained-glass window lights the landing. The master suite has a bathroom with a jacuzzi bath, a separate shower, double sinks and marble wall tiling. It also has a walk-in wardrobe, a dressing area and a working fireplace. Sliding doors lead onto a terrace that runs the length of the house. Two more double bedrooms share that terrace and look over the garden. They are served by a mirrored walk-in wardrobe and dressing area and a marble-tiled bathroom.
Pool, Garden and Outdoor Bar
The garden is built for long lunches. The private pool sits within view of the covered terrace, and beside it a bar and barbecue area stands under a large thatched-roof pergola. Mature greenery surrounds the whole plot. Behind the electric gates, the paved driveway has room for up to four cars, and there is also a 46 m² secure garage with fitted storage.
The Guest Apartment and Rental Potential
The lower level houses a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with its own entrance, a modern fitted kitchen, a bathroom and a private terrace reached through patio doors. A separate utility room with washing machine, dryer, sink and storage sits on the same floor.
The apartment is advertised with a tourist licence. That gives you options: hosting visiting family, housing a guest or carer, or renting it out to holiday visitors. Check the licence and whether it applies to future rentals with a local lawyer before you commit to buying.
Comfort and Technology
The house has been equipped for easy living. Electric blinds run throughout. Air conditioning has individual heating and cooling controls for each room, and a recently installed HVAC system provides underfloor heating and cooling. A Control4 home automation system manages lighting, intercom, gates and blinds remotely, which is useful when the house stands empty between visits. 4K security cameras cover the property.
Living in Lower Calahonda
Calahonda is on the Mijas Costa stretch of the Costa del Sol, between Fuengirola and Marbella. From this street, the beach, the Oxygen Super Gymnasium, a medical centre, shops, bars and restaurants are all close by. The A7 is easy to reach, so Fuengirola is about 15 minutes away and Marbella about 20 by car. Málaga Airport is roughly 30 minutes away, which makes this a realistic option as a second home in Spain with frequent short stays.
