Villa for sale in Mijas, Málaga

A country property with extreme privacy and space for horses and family and yet only situated a few minute’s drive from the beaches and facilities of the Costa del Sol.

Often the problem with country property in Spain for International buyers is that it is too far removed from the facilities and beaches which are, in fairness, one of the major draws to the area. The coastal area however does not offer the privacy and seclusion that comes with a country property and it is very hard to find a sensible balance between the two.

This property gives it all. Standing in 36,000 mw of private land it gives you the privacy you need and affords wonderful views of the Costa del Sol coastline and yet is only a few minutes drive from all the amenities, shops and restaurants that you could want. Marbella, Puerto Banus, Fuengirola, Benalmadena and even Malaga City are all within easy reach as the wealth of golf courses and beaches of the Costa del Sol.

The property is approached via finished roads and is accessible by even the lowest slung sports car. There is a private driveway which curves up to the property and brings you to an extensive parking area with lots of space for your guests. There is even space to land a helicopter should you need it.
