About this property

Overview

Villa Stonehaven is a six-bedroom detached villa on a plot of 3,453 square metres in the La Reserva de Alcuzcuz gated community, Benahavís. The built area runs to 1,309 square metres across three floors, with 480 square metres of terraces. The plot sits on the hillside above the motorway, so you have panoramic views over the Mediterranean and towards the mountains, but you also have noise from the AP-7 below. The north-west orientation means afternoon and evening sun on the main terraces.

The main floor holds the living spaces, kitchen and two bedroom suites, all opening onto terraces and the 130-metre pool. The master suite and two further suites are upstairs, each with its own bathroom and private terrace access. The lower floor is given over to leisure and service: cinema, gym, sauna, steam room, massage room, yoga space, garage for three cars, laundry and storage. A lift connects all three levels. The layout is built for large families or for entertaining, with separate zones that can be used simultaneously without overlap.

The setting is gated and secluded, surrounded by forest and positioned for privacy. You need a car for everything. San Pedro town is eight minutes, the nearest Mercadona is 11 minutes, Aloha College is 14 minutes, and La Zagaleta Country Club is 11 minutes if golf is part of the routine. Málaga Airport takes an hour. This suits buyers who want space, views and a mountain location within reach of the coast, but who are prepared for motorway noise and a dependency on driving. The plot size and the facilities make it a home for a large household or for someone who entertains regularly and wants dedicated spaces for wellness and leisure.

EL BOSQUE II - VILLA STONEHAVEN: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 5.8 kilometres away, about 11 minutes by car. The hillside location in Benahavís means you need to drive to the coast. The elevation gives you the sea views, but it rules out walking to the beach.

The plot is 3,453 square metres of private garden, with a 130-metre pool and 480 square metres of terraces across three floors. You are responsible for maintaining all of it. The size suits large gatherings, children or anyone who wants outdoor leisure space without sharing.

Nothing. The gated hillside setting puts shops, schools and the coast all beyond walking range. San Pedro town is 8 minutes by car, the nearest supermarket is 11 minutes, and the beach is 11 minutes. A car is essential for every errand.

The six bedroom layout, large garden and dedicated wellness spaces work for a big household. Aloha College is 14 minutes by car, and medical care in Nueva Andalucía is 12 minutes. The motorway noise and the reliance on driving are drawbacks if children spend time outside.

La Zagaleta Country Club is 2.2 kilometres away, about 11 minutes by car despite the short distance because of the mountain roads. The views take in golf fairways below, but you still need to drive to play.

Buying off-plan in Benahavís 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.
