La Vida – Beautifully Renovated, Detached 2 Bedroom Villa with Panoramic Views

Mijas La Nueva | €525,000

La Vida is a genuinely unique property within Mijas La Nueva — a beautifully renovated detached two-bedroom home offering the privacy, outdoor space and lifestyle of a villa in a size that is rarely available.

Set on a 205 m² plot, the property offers a built area of almost 97 m², plus an additional porch of almost 16 m², arranged over two levels. What makes La Vida particularly special is the way the house connects with its exceptional outdoor spaces, creating a home that feels wonderfully spacious, private and immersed in its surroundings.

For buyers who love the idea of a private detached villa without needing a large four- or five-bedroom property, La Vida offers something particularly special.

Indoor-Outdoor Living

The heart of La Vida is undoubtedly its wonderful south-facing outdoor living space.

The principal living area opens directly onto a substantial covered terrace through impressive Technal Lumeal sliding doors with solar-reflective glass, creating an almost seamless transition between inside and out. These extra-large openings extend to approximately 4.2 metres and 3.2 metres respectively, bringing an incredible amount of light into the home and allowing the views and surrounding greenery to become part of the living space.

A substantial purpose-built timber pergola is one of the standout features of the property. Its solid timber construction and glazed covering create a genuine outdoor room, complete with ceiling fans and generous space for comfortable lounge seating, dining and entertaining. Rather than simply providing shade, it becomes a true extension of the home and an area that can be enjoyed throughout much of the year.

Beyond the covered area is further terrace space, while mature landscaping creates a wonderfully private Mediterranean setting. A built-in traditional BBQ, established olive tree, decorative Andalusian tiling, exterior lighting and carefully maintained planting all add to the character of the property.

From here, the outlook stretches across the surrounding mountains and towards the coast, with the property’s orientation providing beautiful afternoon light and sunsets.

Living & Kitchen

Inside, La Vida combines contemporary comfort with touches of traditional Andalusian character.

The open living and dining area is light and welcoming, with the large glass openings drawing the greenery and views into the house. A glass-front wood-burning fireplace with brick surround creates a focal point, complemented by built-in shelving and carefully retained traditional details.

The kitchen has been completely replaced and designed to maximise the space, with handleless cabinetry, soft-close and full-extension drawers, a Silestone worktop and integrated Bosch appliances. The refurbishment also included new plumbing, electrical points and lighting, together with contemporary glass splashbacks.

A separate laundry/utility room provides valuable additional practical space.

Two Bedrooms – Both En-Suite

Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, creating a particularly comfortable layout for owners and guests.

High vaulted ceilings add volume and character, while both bedrooms have ceiling fans and air conditioning.

The master en-suite features a bath/shower and underfloor heating, while the second en-suite has a walk-in shower.

Both bedrooms open onto the upper terrace, providing another wonderful connection to the outdoors. The terrace itself has undergone extensive refurbishment, including replacement finishes and waterproofing, façade repairs and the creation of a built-in terrace bench with decorative tiling.

The deep built-in daybed creates a particularly lovely place to sit and enjoy the outlook, while the terrace provides a beautiful setting from which to watch the sun disappear behind the mountains.

Extensively Renovated & Thoughtfully Upgraded

La Vida has undergone a substantial whole-house refurbishment, encompassing the principal living areas, bathrooms, glazing and doors, terraces, pergola, electrical and plumbing installations, kitchen and energy systems.

Notable features include:

• Nine solar panels with 5 kW battery backup

Privacy, Gardens & Parking

La Vida has a wonderfully private feel.

The property is approached through a double-gated entrance. From the lower gate, traditional tiled steps wind through the landscaped garden to a second gate and the house itself.

The established gardens have been designed to be attractive but manageable, with irrigation, exterior lighting, mature planting and an impressive olive tree creating a lush Mediterranean environment.

There is also convenient off-road parking directly in front of the property, together with useful exterior storage.
