Just loved it! I have a thing about bright, light and airy properties, and this one just ticked all the boxes for me!

4 bedroom 3 bathroom two story villa, located in the best part of Calahonda! Just off the Calahonda Strip, walking distance to the shops, bars, restaurants, golf courses and the beach.

My initial thoughts were, this has it all, great for family life, a holiday home, or an investment for a rental income. Big rooms with many balconies, and terraces with full access to the wrap-around flat garden. Excellent for outdoor living. The garden is mature but easily maintained. The current owners pay 60 euro per month to a regular gardener. The best option by far. Within the garden is plenty of room for sunbathing, relaxing both around the heated pool and within the garden area. A heated pool gives you a full year round swimming facility and ideal if you have rental clients! A great feature of this property is the fully equipped BBQ area, complete with outdoor fridge.

The ground floor consists of an entrance hall, and a corridor leading to 3 good sized bedrooms, one en-suite. A gallery kitchen with outdoor access and a lounge dining room which is split level.

This villa is heated by a log burnings stove, and full climatisation by air conditioning and heating.

The master bedroom dominates the upstairs of the property. Stunning! The whole floor area is taken up with this bedroom, an en-suite luxury bathroom and a dressing room. There is access to a lovely private terrace which wraps around 2 side of the house, giving access to the sun all day long. The views are amazing. Looking right down to the Mediterranean! Life doesn't get much better than that!

This villa is really worth considering if you are thinking of investing in the Costa Del Sol. 25 minutes drive from the international airport of Malaga, 15 minutes to Marbella and Puerto Banus. There are many golf courses locally, tennis courts, horse riding facilities, shopping and sightseeing. There is an international school in Calahonda, as well as one of the top international schools in the South of Spain, located only 10 minutes drive away.

The villa is quite unique as it has a double garage right on the street, ideal for not only parking but plenty of store area too.

Beautiful location, quite area, yet you are right there in the middle of things if that is what you want. There is a small bus which runs regularly around Calahonda, meaning that a car is not necessary if you were thinking of using this villa as a holiday home, or for holiday rentals. Calahonda really is an expats paradise for many reasons.
