About Cerrado Hills
Thirteen villas, no more. Cerrado Hills is a small project in Cerros del Águila, the hills behind Mijas Costa, where the homes are set in an arc around one of the greens of the Cerrado del Águila golf course. Each villa has 4 bedrooms with their own bathroom, a private pool and sea views. Our data lists two villas for sale: one at €2,890,980 and one at €2,929,000.
The layout is well thought out for families and guests. Three bedrooms are upstairs and the fourth is next to the living room, handy for visiting parents or if you prefer to avoid stairs. The kitchen, dining room and living room form one open space on the same level. Beneath the house is a large basement you can fit out to your own taste: an extra bedroom, a home cinema, a wine cellar or a gym.
The figures per villa: the first has 375 m² built, of which 297 m² usable, on a 1,165 m² plot. The second measures 399 m² built and 334 m² usable, on 1,160 m² of land. Both have 250 m² of terrace, 4 bathrooms, 3 parking spaces and energy rating B. The complex is gated. Home automation lets you control lighting, shutters, security, heating and air conditioning, including from your phone.

Cerrado Hills in figures
For a villa with a private pool and sea views, Cerrado Hills asks a median of €7,525 per m². That is 51% above new builds in Mijas (€4,984, 55 projects) and 102% above resale homes in Mijas (€3,717 per m², idealista, September 2026). The comparison is skewed, though, because the Mijas median consists mainly of apartments. The outdoor space is more relevant: with 250 m² of terrace and more than 1,160 m² of land, the project scores better than 89% of the projects in our comparison. For the €2,890,980 villa, allow a total of around €3,267,070: €289,098 VAT, €34,692 stamp duty, €17,300 notary and €35,000 lawyer.
| Price | € 2.890.980 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 289.098 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 34.692 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 17.300 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 35.000 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.
Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 89% of new developments in Mijas. Largest outdoor space: 250 m².
Planned completion December 2026. For half of the new developments in Mijas, completion is within 14 months.
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current supply of 55 new developments in Mijas and the average asking price of resale homes in Mijas according to Idealista, September 2026. Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
Cerros del Águila lies in the hills of Mijas, at around 135 metres above sea level, between the Mijas Costa coastline and the mountain village of Mijas Pueblo. It is a quiet villa area around the Cerrado del Águila golf course, with plenty of greenery and sweeping views over the Costa del Sol. Living here feels like a residential neighbourhood, not a seaside resort. Mijas itself combines the white village with its cobbled lanes and patios with modern amenities on the coast.
Here you use the car every day. Mercadona is a 13-minute drive, El Chaparral beach 16 minutes. St Anthony's College, an international school, is 12 minutes away, as is Fuengirola town centre. Vithas Xanit hospital is 21 minutes away and Málaga airport 34 minutes.
We will send you the exact location and the address of the sales office when you request Privé access or book a viewing.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:00 on 21 June and sets at 21:40, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Cerrado Hills sits at around 135 metres above sea level.
Sea views are confirmed for both available villas, along with golf course views since the villas are built around a green. We are requesting the exact orientation of each villa and will check it on site.
Homes and finishes
Kitchens and bathrooms are fitted with high-quality products; another source mentions top European brands. The home automation controls lighting, shutters, security, heating and air conditioning via a wall panel or your smartphone. Both villas have energy rating B. For a villa in this price range, we request the brand and model of the main installations, check the waterproofing of the basement and the bank guarantee, and have the cadastral boundaries of the plot verified.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Cerrado Hills through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Cerrado Hills
Strengths
- Only 13 villas, so quiet, small-scale living.
- Every villa has a private pool, sea views and 4 bedrooms with their own bathroom.
- A ground-floor bedroom, practical for guests or later in life.
- Large basement you can fit out as a cinema, gym or extra bedroom.
- Plots of around 1,160 m² and 250 m² of terrace per villa.
- Completion planned for 1 December 2026.
Points to consider
- Price per m² 51% above the median for new builds in Mijas.
- Beach a 16-minute and supermarket a 13-minute drive away: you cannot do without a car.
- Total cost including taxes around €3,267,070 for the cheapest villa.
- No show home; you judge the finishes from plans and documentation.
- Ask whether the basement is included in the 375 to 399 m² built; that changes the real price per m².
Who is Cerrado Hills right for?
Cerrado Hills is made for families and buyers looking for a villa as a main residence or for long stays, with room for children, grandchildren and guests. Golfers literally live on the course here. It is less suitable if you want to walk to the sea, if you are looking for a short holiday address or if you would rather avoid the upkeep of a large plot.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.
- Independent. We are not tied to any development. We compare the entire market and tell you honestly when a project is not right for you.
- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.
- Beyond the handover. We follow the construction, the handover and the after-sales with you, so you are never on your own.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.

Frequently asked questions about Cerrado Hills
Is Mijas a good place to live?
Mijas is one of the largest municipalities on the coast and has both beach areas and quiet hills. Cerros del Águila belongs to the latter: green, peaceful and with views, but with the car as your constant companion.
How many villas does Cerrado Hills have?
The project consists of 13 villas, each with 4 en-suite bedrooms, a basement and a private pool. Our data currently lists two for sale.
What can I do with the basement?
You can fit out the basement as you wish: as an extra bedroom, home cinema, wine cellar or gym. We recommend asking in advance which finish is standard and what fitting it out costs extra.
How far is Málaga airport from Cerrado Hills?
By our measurement, it is a 34-minute drive to Málaga airport. Fuengirola town centre is 12 minutes away.
Do I pay more if I buy Cerrado Hills through Imagine Marbella?
No. You pay the same price as buying directly from the seller. Through us you also get independent advice, legal guidance and aftercare.
What costs come on top of the price of a new-build home?
In Andalusia, a new build carries 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), plus notary, land registry and lawyer's fees. For the most affordable home in Cerrado Hills, that adds up to around 13.0%.
