Aurea Villas: new build villas for sale in Estepona Golf

Deep foundations on piles under a reinforced concrete slab, with a reinforced concrete wall around the perimeter and drainage outside it, and a structure of concrete slabs on concrete and steel columns. The outside walls are two skins of brick with polyurethane foam insulation in the cavity between them, rendered and painted outside and plastered inside. The partitions inside are brick.

The roof is flat, insulated and waterproofed, and can be walked on, laid in non-slip ceramic tiles. The floors throughout are porcelain tiles 90 centimetres square, in a choice of sand, white, pearl or greige, with a skirting in the same tile and a non-slip version where it is needed. Bathroom walls are tiled to the ceiling in large porcelain tiles in a choice of finishes, including a marble effect. Plaster ceilings run through the whole villa, and the other walls are painted in a smooth light colour.

Colour-lacquered aluminium frames with a thermal break, an insulating strip through the frame that stops cold crossing it, and a setting that lets air in while the window stays closed. Every window and terrace door is double glazed with a 12 millimetre gap, and the glass filters the sun and holds heat in. The front door is a reinforced security door faced in iroko wood. Inside, the doors are lacquered wood with nickel hinges and magnetic latches.

Built-in wardrobes lined in a textile-effect melamine, with compartments and a metal hanging rail. Those in the second bedroom and the hall have fronts in the same design and colour as the doors. The main bedroom has a walk-in dressing room of open units, and doors for it are offered as an extra.

Fitted by the Italian maker Arredo3 in matt lacquered units, with a porcelain worktop. Miele appliances come included: a multifunction oven, a built-in microwave, a built-in dishwasher, and a fridge and a freezer each behind a single door. The hob is induction, with the extractor built into it. The laundry room has its own units and porcelain worktop, with a Miele washing machine and dryer.

Three bathrooms and a separate toilet. The main bathroom has a worktop in a Calacatta marble finish with two basins set into it over a wooden unit, and the others a compact worktop with a single basin. Shower trays are stone resin, the bath is acrylic, and every shower has a fixed glass screen. Toilets are white porcelain, wall hung, with a concealed cistern and a soft-closing lid. Taps are single lever, by Hansgrohe, with a ceiling shower head in the main bathroom and an arm shower in the rest. Mirrors are lit around their edges.

An air-source heat pump, Daikin Altherma or similar, which takes heat from the outside air rather than burning gas, provides the hot water and runs water-fed underfloor heating through the villa, with electric underfloor heating in the bathrooms. The air conditioning is ducted, with a separate fan unit for the living room and for each bedroom so that rooms can be set on their own. There is an extractor in every bathroom and in the kitchen.

A high-capacity electrical installation with white switches and sockets by BTicino, fibre optic and coaxial wiring to the rooms, and a video entry phone. The villa is pre-wired for a home automation system that switches the air conditioning on and off, controls the lighting and sound, cuts the power if smoke is detected in the kitchen, and shuts off the water if a leak is detected at any of three points.

A private swimming pool with the garden laid out around it, planted with native species and watered automatically. Parking is on gravel behind an automatic gate, with a charging point for an electric car.
