About this property

Overview

EL BOSQUE II - VILLA FOREST EDGE is a new development of 6-bedroom detached villas for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol, priced at €8,900,000. The project sits within La Reserva de Alcuzcuz, a gated hillside community positioned between forest and the Mediterranean, where plot sizes exceed 3,000 m² and properties are designed by named architectural practices rather than volume developers. This villa occupies a south-facing slope where the forest line opens onto long views towards the sea, a topographical position that allows the architecture to step down the gradient across three levels whilst maintaining direct outdoor access from each floor.

The residence measures 908 m² of built space across six en-suite bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. The main floor contains an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area that extends onto four terraces and two covered porches, with a separate service kitchen and two pantries positioned behind the primary kitchen. Two en-suite bedrooms are located on this level alongside the entrance hall, dressing room, and guest WC. The upper floor houses the principal suite, two further en-suite bedrooms, and a living area opening onto a covered porch with sea views. The lower level integrates the garage, laundry, storage, and service areas, with a private lift connecting all three floors. Outside, a 75 m² swimming pool includes an integrated technical area beneath its surface, plus changing and storage facilities. The architecture, by Tobal Arquitectos, uses expansive glazing and open-plan volumes to bring natural light and landscape into the interior spaces throughout the day.

La Reserva de Alcuzcuz is a private, elevated community approximately 15 minutes by car from Puerto Banús marina and 20 minutes from Marbella's Golden Mile. Buyers here are typically northern European families or couples seeking privacy, larger plots, and distance from the coastal density, often as a primary or extended-season residence rather than a rental investment. The community offers its own equestrian centre, spa, and beach club, reducing the need to travel for amenities. The trade-off is altitude and access: the approach involves a winding mountain road, and winter evenings arrive earlier on this north-facing slope of the Sierra de Ronda. Mist can settle in the valley during cooler months, though south-facing plots like this one benefit from longer sun exposure and clearer views.

This villa is offered off-plan, with construction timelines and stage payment schedules to be confirmed directly with the developer. Standard Spanish new build transactions require a reservation deposit, followed by stage payments during construction, with the balance due on completion and key handover. Independent legal representation is recommended to review contracts, payment terms, and completion guarantees. The 3,000 m² plot size allows for future landscaping decisions to be made by the buyer in consultation with the developer during the construction phase.

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.
