Villa for sale in Valtocado - La Alquería - La Atalaya, Mijas, Málaga

Valtocado, one of the most recognized and prestigious urbanizations of the Costa del Sol, nestled in the Sierra de Mijas. Here you will find some of the best villas with spectacular panoramic views. This villa was completed in 2012 and is in excellent condition, like new. The house faces southwest, and the roof has a shallow pitch, which helps keep the home cool in summer and warm in winter, reducing the amount of additional energy needed to heat or cool it. The overall design of the house is U-shaped, which protects the front terraces from most winds. This allows comfortable living all year round and helps the house achieve an energy rating of BB. Newgrange, Stonehenge, and Tulum come to mind with the attention to detail the builder took when designing the house.

There is radiant flooring throughout the villa, fuel oil gas, and solar panels. Everything is easily controlled from the excellent machine room located in the basement area. The villa has 5 bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a guest toilet—all on one level, another fantastic asset of this property.

We enter the villa through a lovely square hallway, and from there we go to the main bedroom with its walk-in dressing area, bathroom, and large French doors with direct access to the pool area. Again, this bedroom has been oriented to allow the best possible position with respect to light depending on the time of year. Also from the hallway you can access a room that can be used as a fifth bedroom or a nice, cozy living room/lounge, since it has a wood-burning stove or even an office—especially today, when remote work is so popular. This room leads to a small patio, and in this room we will also find another door that leads to the completely open-plan living area. From the same hallway and through another door, we access the large open-plan area with a living room/dining area and a kitchen area, so you can create several different spaces and zones to suit your needs.

All of this area leads to the covered terrace and the pool area through numerous French doors. The views from the villa are absolutely fantastic and offer panoramic views of the coast and the backdrop of the Mijas mountains. From the dining room you also access 3 double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms and their own access to a small patio.

This villa has been built, as we mentioned earlier, to very high-quality standards: double-glazed windows with 6.5 mm safety glass, and all the patio doors have laminated safety glass on both sides. They all include an extra air chamber to achieve maximum insulation, and the window frames have thermal bridge break.

From the house you can access the ground floor, where we find a spacious garage with two remote-controlled opening doors. Here, in the basement, the machine room is also located, from where the entire house and each element of it are controlled with an easy, well-distributed touch. Also in the basement there is another area that could be used as a gym, cinema room, billiards room, etc. There is an access driveway through electrically operated black wrought-iron gates from the road directly to the garage.

The villa has a lot of outdoor space, and everything is easy to maintain. The location, as we already mentioned, is in Valtocado (Mijas) and is just a 5-minute drive from Mijas Pueblo. From there you can drive to the coast in 10 minutes, to Fuengirola and access the highway to go to Málaga or Marbella in 30 minutes in either direction. Also from Valtocado you can go in the opposite direction to Mijas Pueblo and connect to the A-357 highway in Alhaurín. So, although we enjoy nature and the countryside in its purest form, we are never too far from anywhere.

For golfers, the closest golf course is Alhaurín Golf, and not far away there are others such as Lauro Golf, Mijas Golf, La Cala Resort, Santana, El Chaparral, to name just a few. Shopping is also not a problem, as there are many nice small boutiques and shops in Mijas Pueblo, or alternatively we can go back down to the coast again to La Cala de Mijas, Fuengirola, or Marbella. Málaga Airport is only 30/40 minutes away by car.

This makes the villa ideal for living all year round, using as a holiday home, and even as a good investment due to its high rental potential. Or, as we mentioned earlier, the ideal place to use now as your home if you want to work remotely, since the fiber optics in the area are excellent, so you can work and enjoy life in the beautiful villa under the sun. Many people are relocating with this in mind, especially young families.
