Beachfront Villa in La Cala de Mijas | History & Luxury

“This unique Beachfront Villa in La Cala de Mijas was built in 1960 next to the famous and 10,7 meters high antique tower, frontline beach and 10 – 12 meters above the sea. The villa has been reformed completely in 2000/1 and the sea views are amazing!
The size of the plot is 2.474,75 m2, but fenced are only 2.150 m2. The built area is 370 m2. The whole property is protected by high walls and a 103 meters long front-line balustrade. There are 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, hot shower in an external patio, guest toilet, play- and TV- room, living room (90 m2) with fireplace, laundry, big and fully furnished kitchen, salt-water- swimming pool and a pavillion which could be converted into a guest house (50 m2). The main house could be extended another 78 m2.

Historic background: A famous watch tower called “Torre de Calahonda” is located in the center of the property. Built 1575, it served as part of a defense chain of watch towers protecting against potential pirate attacks. The line of watch towers stretches from the Andalusian coast all the way to Cadiz. Surrounded by crew houses at that time, the towers were well-supplied with necessities and were well looked after by the crews residing close to the towers. Therefore some of the towers still stand to this very day.

This tower, being a listed building, gives a certain flair to the property initially built as a holiday home by the Spanish nobleman Enrique de la Mata, minister and president of the International Red Cross (1981 -87). The Spanish king Juan Carlos attended to a party, thrown in his honor by his minister, at this very property. The king made a remarkable entry by yacht through the sea, anchoring close to the property to then be rowed ashore in a smaller boat.
