The beautiful Spanish-style villa is located in the Valtocado Urbanization on the Costa del Sol halfway between Malaga and Marbella near the picturesque mountain village of Mijas Pueblo. This urbanization on the southern slope of the Sierra de Mijas has a fantastic location. In the background mountains provide ideal opportunities for hiking and mountain biking, in foreground you can enjoy the typical hilly landscape of the Costa del Sol with its own vegetation consisting of lavender, gorse, fennel, orchids, sage and rosemary. The terrain slopes down towards the sea and offers wonderful views over Mijas and Fuengirola to the Mediterranean Sea. On a clear day you can see Africa with the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. This hilly landscape is also ideal for hiking and mountain biking, but also a dream for dog owners. The closest golf course is 5 minutes by car. You will find in 20 min. distance the beaches of Fuengirola and perfect shopping opportunities (including supermarkets like Carrefour, Mercadona, Aldi, Lidl and El Corte Inglés) and a huge range of restaurants.

Medical care in the whole region is very good. In addition to international clinics, there are also resident, German-speaking doctors for the most important specialist areas. The special thing about the Costa del Sol, compared to all other mainland regions of Europe, is the climate. Over 320 days of sunshine a year and little rainfall - that speaks for itself. This region is not only attractive in the summer months, but also ideal for people who want to escape the gray and wet winter of the northern climates. Even in winter the temperatures are almost always in the mid to high double-digit range - often over 20 degrees in the sun at midday - there are many sunny days and daylight it is generally 1-2 hours longer than in northern Germany. For this reason, many Europeans from northern countries have settled here permanently. Compared to many other urbanizations in Spain, the urbanization Valtocado is characterized by its beautiful layout and planting as well as its excellent state of maintenance. The high quality villas are owned by international residents. With a deep valley in the back the Mediterranean-style villa stands on a level plot of land with a wonderful garden and offers everything you need for a relaxed and comfortable life. The pool is heated, which enables year-round temperatures of e.g. 28 degrees, and has a protective cover. The modern pool heating as well as the cover were only installed in 2020. The house itself is very well maintained, renovated and ready to move into! It harmoniously combines the traditional Andalusian style with modern elements. The living area is on the upper floor, from where you have a wonderful view of the garden, the pool and the surrounding landscape up to the sea. When the weather is clear you can see the Atlas Mountains in Africa. The living room has an open fireplace and has access to the dining room and the two terraces. The south-facing terrace with a view of the garden and pool and the view of the sea can be used all year round, as it is integrated into the house and therefore covered. In the hot summer it provides shade, but in winter the flatter sun shines directly in, so that you can enjoy its warmth. From the north terrace, which offers cool shade in summer, you have a great view of the mountains. Hardly any other house in Valtocado can offer this special combination. The separate kitchen-living room is fully equipped and also offers access to the north terrace, where you can have breakfast in summer. The small study and the guest toilet are also located on this level. On the two levels below you will find three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sauna with its own shower, the utility room and the boiler room. The previous owners used one of the bedrooms as a gym.
