An exceptional opportunity to acquire a single level detached villa in the sought-after gated community of Buenavista, Mijas. Ideal opportunity for those seeking privacy, generous outdoor space and a prime Costa del Sol setting. Set on a substantial plot the property offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private swimming pool, landscaped gardens, spacious terraces and stunning Mediterranean Sea and mountain views. The main residence is thoughtfully arranged creating a practical and comfortable layout filled with natural light. The spacious living area flows seamlessly into the dining area and open-plan kitchen, with direct access to the covered terrace with glass curtains, which in turn lead out to the garden and pool. This effortless connection between the interior and exterior is perfectly suited to relaxed Mediterranean living and entertaining. A particularly valuable feature is the independent guest apartment, complete with its own living area, bedroom and bathroom. This versatile space is ideal for welcoming family and friends, accommodating multi-generational living, creating a private home office or providing potential guest accommodation.
