Villa

Some homes stand out for their location; others for their outdoor spaces. This villa offers both, together with an unusually advanced range of energy and smart-home features. It is located in Los Hidalgos, Manilva, around 450 metres from the beach, and has a private swimming pool, garden and solar PV system with battery storage.

Set on a 609 m² plot, the property is arranged over two floors. Its practical layout includes a bedroom on the ground floor and a more private sleeping area upstairs.

On entering the property, you will find an open-plan living and dining area with a kitchen and access to the covered porch, which connects the interior with the garden. This floor also has a bedroom, a full bathroom and a wardrobe. Having a bedroom on the main floor is convenient for guests or anyone who prefers to avoid stairs.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has a dressing room. There is also a second bedroom, two bathrooms and a terrace. In total, the villa has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with separate spaces for relaxing and spending time together.

**Outdoor living**

The garden and outdoor seating areas surround a private 8 x 4 metre swimming pool. There is space for dining outdoors, relaxing by the pool and enjoying the Mediterranean climate for much of the year.

The property also has a covered garage of 53.24 m², with space for two vehicles, as well as a storage room.

**Solar energy and features**

The solar PV system includes high-efficiency bifacial panels with an installed capacity of up to 13 kWp. It is complemented by battery storage of approximately 30 kWh, allowing some of the energy generated during daylight hours to be stored for later use, when solar production is lower.

Surplus energy can be exported to the electricity grid. Any financial compensation depends on the terms of the electricity supply contract. The level of savings and energy independence will depend on the household’s consumption and how the system is used. The installation can help reduce reliance on the grid and make better use of the energy generated at the property.

The villa also has an aerothermal system, which uses energy from the outside air to help optimise energy consumption and contribute to comfort in the home.

For convenience and access control, there is a smart video intercom that lets you manage and open the external entrance gate remotely via a mobile app. The property also has electric shutters; those in the main bedroom can be operated by remote control.

**Manilva and the Mediterranean close by**

The beach is around 450 metres away, approximately a six-minute walk or a one-minute drive. The property has quick access to the A-7 Mediterranean Motorway and is set in a quiet residential area, with services and leisure facilities nearby.

With its layout, private plot and range of features, this villa could work equally well as a permanent home or as a second home on the Costa del Sol.
