About this property

Overview

This is a single five-bedroom villa built into the hillside above Alhaurín el Grande, covering 571 square metres across its plot of 1,551 square metres. The layout centres on a large open-plan ground floor where living, dining and kitchen areas run straight out to wide terraces and an infinity pool that looks across the valley towards the mountains. The master suite takes up significant space on the upper level and includes a bathroom with a freestanding bath, a separate spa room with sauna and Turkish bath, and a dressing area. The remaining four bedrooms are spread between the upper and lower floors. A dedicated gym and wellness area with hydromassage and rain shower sits in the lower level, alongside the garage.

The villa sits in the Sierra Gorda area, up from the AP-7 motorway, which puts you inland from the coast but still within 40 minutes of Málaga Airport. Alhaurín el Grande itself is a working town rather than a resort, so you get proper shops, weekly markets and local services rather than tourist infrastructure. The setting is quiet and the views uninterrupted, but you are dependent on a car for everything. The nearest supermarket is a nine-minute drive, and if you want the coast or Marbella, that is 30 minutes or more. The seclusion suits buyers who value privacy and space over walkable convenience, though families with young children may find the hillside position and reliance on driving restrictive. The wellness facilities are extensive for a private home, but they also mean higher running costs and maintenance compared to a simpler layout.

HL SG122: Frequently Asked Questions

The coast is 7.7 kilometres away, which takes about 56 minutes by car. This is an inland hillside location above the AP-7 motorway, so beach access requires driving and the route involves winding roads rather than a straight run down to the shore.

The villa has a private infinity pool on its own 1,551-square-metre plot, along with 132 square metres of terrace. You are responsible for all maintenance and running costs, including the pool, sauna, Turkish bath and gym equipment, which adds up compared to a property with shared facilities.

Nothing is within comfortable walking distance. The nearest supermarket is 2.1 kilometres away, which takes nine minutes by car, and the hillside roads have no pavements. You need a car for every trip, including into Alhaurín el Grande town centre.

The hillside position gives you unobstructed mountain and valley views, visible from the pool terrace and upper-floor rooms. The plot also overlooks its own garden and courtyard, and there are some urban views towards the town below.

Málaga Airport is 19 kilometres away, reachable in 39 minutes, which makes lock-up-and-leave use practical. The isolation and lack of resort amenities mean this suits buyers who want a private retreat rather than somewhere with restaurants and entertainment within walking distance.

Buying off-plan in Alhaurín el Grande means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.

Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.

Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.

In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
