Some houses are designed for holidays. Others are designed for truly living in. This villa is located in the hills above Arenas, surrounded by nature and offering far-reaching views across the mountainous landscape all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. A place of peace and privacy, without feeling cut off from everyday life. The house stands out for its open and welcoming layout. The living area, dining room and kitchen form the heart of the home. Large windows and glass doors allow plenty of natural light to flood the interior and constantly draw the eye outside. One of its most attractive features is the connection to the terraces. The large glazed panels can be opened or closed depending on the season. In summer, they create an airy transition to the outdoors, while in the cooler months they provide a sheltered winter garden. A space that is not only beautiful but can genuinely be enjoyed throughout much of the year. And this is where one of the property's most important characteristics becomes clear: it was not designed solely for summer living. Underfloor heating throughout the house ensures a comfortable living environment even in winter. The private swimming pool can be heated, and the pool area has recently been upgraded with new technical equipment and new tiles. Long-term planning has also been considered when it comes to water and energy supplies. The property has its own well and a total water storage capacity of approximately 165,000 litres across the plot. Solar energy is already used to heat domestic water. In addition, the technical infrastructure for expanding the electricity supply through photovoltaic panels is already in place, allowing the system to be extended in the future. The main house offers several bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as an additional room that would be ideal as a home office. The rooms are bright, spacious and thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfortable shared living and private spaces. There is also a completely separate guest apartment with its own entrance. Family and friends can stay here independently, making it equally suitable for longer visits or as an additional workspace and guest accommodation. The plot, measuring approximately 8,300 m2, is fully fenced and offers the generous space one would expect from a country estate. There is plenty of room for a garden, fruit trees or simply enjoying the surrounding landscape and sense of openness. Another feature that makes a real difference in everyday life is the access to the property, which is fully paved and has no steep inclines. Arenas, with its main everyday amenities, is just a few minutes away. Vélez-Málaga can be reached in approximately 25 minutes, while the coast, including Torre del Mar and Caleta de Vélez, is around 30 minutes away. It is this combination that makes the property so appealing. The views of the sea and mountains. The tranquillity. The generous plot. But also the features that become particularly valuable when you actually live here: water reserves, heating, energy infrastructure, easy access and spaces designed ‌to ‌function ‌throughout ‌the ‌year. A ‌country home that ‌was ‌not designed ‌merely ‌for a few beautiful summer ‌weeks. ‌But for life ‌in ‌Andalusia, ‌twelve ‌months ‌of ‌the ‌year.
