Buenavista Views: new build villas in Mijas from €980,000

Concrete foundations, with small piles added where the ground calls for them, support a reinforced concrete frame of floor slabs and columns, and concrete retaining walls take up the slope. The outside walls combine perforated brick, polyurethane insulation and a double plasterboard lining. Outside, they are rendered in waterproof cement and painted white, with stone cladding and timber-effect beams, and some details may be picked out in a second colour.

Half of the villas are floored in Florim porcelain tiles 120 centimetres square, and the other half in wood laid in a herringbone pattern. The stairs are in the same porcelain throughout. The roofs can be walked on, with two layers of waterproofing and insulation over the rooms below, and the roof terraces and porches are laid in large porcelain tiles with a non-slip finish.

Aluminium frames in a textured finish, double glazed and with a thermal break, a layer of insulation built into the frame itself. The railings outside are iron. The entrance is a reinforced security door, and the doors inside are lacquered, with hidden hinges and magnetic latches.

Fitted wardrobes with a luggage shelf, hanging rails, drawers and shelving, all lit with LED.

Fitted by Modulnova with units in a walnut finish and a peninsula worktop in stone-effect porcelain, with a matching sink and a matt black tap by Gessi. The Miele appliances are included: a fridge-freezer, an oven, a microwave, a dishwasher and an induction hob with the extractor built into it.

The floors and shower walls are Florim porcelain in 120 centimetre tiles, non-slip inside the showers, and each shower has a glass screen from floor to ceiling. Modulnova supplies the vanity units, in walnut with built-in lighting. The toilets are Villeroy & Boch, wall hung with Geberit concealed cisterns, and the taps are Ritmonio, single lever.

A heat pump supplies both heating and cooling through insulated ducts concealed in the ceilings, and water-fed underfloor heating covers the whole house. Hot water is heated by an air-source heat pump, drawing warmth from the outside air. Stale air is extracted from the bathrooms and the kitchen by a ventilation system on the upper floor.

Switches and sockets are matt white, and the living room and main bedroom have dimmers. The living room and every bedroom are wired ready for motorised curtains and blinds, and LED lighting runs along the curtain recesses. A video entry phone and Wi-Fi coverage are included, with a television point in the living room and wiring ready for one in each bedroom.

Every villa has a hot tub installed on its roof terrace. The terraces each have a water point, and the planters and planted areas are watered automatically.
