About this property

Overview

EL BOSQUE II - VILLA FOREST BAY is a new development of 6-bedroom detached villas for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol, priced at €9,100,000. This is a private collection within La Reserva de Alcuzcuz, a gated hillside community positioned between the Ronda mountains and the Mediterranean, where plots are measured in thousands of square metres rather than hundreds. The architecture by Tobal Arquitectos responds directly to the topography, with the villa distributed across three levels that step down the slope to preserve sightlines and reduce visual mass when viewed from the access road or neighbouring plots.

Each villa offers 999 m² of built space across six en-suite bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms. The main floor holds the primary living, dining, and kitchen zones, which open onto terraces and a swimming pool designed as a reflective water feature rather than a conventional recreational pool. A separate service kitchen, pantry, and laundry room are included on this level, alongside two guest bedrooms. The upper floor accommodates the principal suite with dressing room and private terrace access, plus two further en-suite bedrooms and a flexible living area. The lower level contains the garage, technical and storage rooms, guest and gardener facilities, wardrobe space, and a private lift, all integrated beneath the main structure to maintain the horizontal emphasis of the design. Floor-to-ceiling glazing is used throughout to draw natural light into the interiors and frame views towards the southwest.

La Reserva de Alcuzcuz sits approximately 15 minutes by car from Puerto Banús marina, elevated above the coastal strip at around 300 metres altitude. The community attracts buyers seeking privacy and larger plot sizes than those typically available in beachside developments, often families relocating from northern Europe or investors consolidating multiple coastal properties into a single substantial residence. Access is via a single gated entrance off the A-7176, the mountain road connecting Benahavís village with the coast, which means journey times to Marbella or the international school corridor can vary depending on traffic and weather conditions during winter months. The surrounding terrain is forested and relatively undeveloped compared to the lower coastal belt.

This is an off-plan project. The standard Spanish new build payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures the plot and villa design, followed by stage payments linked to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. All amounts and payment schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended, particularly for transactions at this price level where currency exposure, tax residency, and estate planning considerations become material. The villa includes a private lift connecting all three levels, a practical feature given the 999 m² floor area and the likelihood of multi-generational use or staff accommodation.

Buying off-plan in Benahavis 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.
