About this property

Overview

Villa Hope is a six-bedroom house on a 3,757-square-metre hillside plot in El Madroñal, set between Benahavís and San Pedro Alcántara. The built area of 1,107 square metres is arranged over three floors, with 239 square metres of terracing. Each of the six bedrooms has its own bathroom and opens onto a private terrace facing south-west towards the sea and golf valleys. The house includes eight bathrooms in total and four separate kitchens: one main kitchen with double-height ceilings, a service kitchen, a staff kitchen and an outdoor kitchen. The master suite on the first floor has a walk-in wardrobe, office and library, with two further bedrooms on the same wing.

The lower level holds the leisure rooms. There is a cinema, gym, spa, wine cellar, bar and a multipurpose room fitted for billiards and lounging. This floor also contains a self-contained apartment for staff, with its own kitchen, living space and bathroom. Outside, the garden wraps around a floating infinity pool with jacuzzi, set to take in the views across the golf course to the Mediterranean and the African coastline beyond. The main living and dining spaces open directly onto the terrace through remote-controlled electric windows, blurring the line between inside and outside. A fire pit sits on the terrace beside the pool. The garage holds three cars, with space for another three outside.

El Madroñal sits above the AP-7 motorway on the mountain side, 13 minutes from Magna Marbella Golf and 17 minutes from Puerto Banús marina. San Pedro Alcántara is a 13-minute drive, Aloha College international school 16 minutes. Málaga Airport is an hour away. The setting suits families who want mountain air, golf on the doorstep and space between neighbours, but the plot is steep and the house large. Running it will take work or staff, and the lower-level rooms have no natural light on one side.

Madroñal View - Villa Hope: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa Canina Ventura del Mar is 5.7 kilometres away, a 17-minute drive. El Madroñal sits on the mountain side of the motorway above San Pedro Alcántara and Puerto Banús, so the beach is not within walking distance. The house faces south-west towards the sea, with views across the golf valleys to the Mediterranean.

Aloha College international school is 16 minutes by car. The nearest hospital is 17 minutes away, and the supermarket is a 13-minute drive. San Pedro Alcántara, which has shops, restaurants and schools, is 13 minutes from the house. Everything requires a car, the hillside location means nothing is within walking distance.

Málaga Airport is 47 kilometres away, about 66 minutes by car. The journey follows the motorway east along the coast, so the route is direct but the distance makes this better suited to longer stays than frequent weekend trips. The house has garage space for three cars plus parking for three more outside.

The house faces south-west. Every bedroom opens onto a terrace with views towards the sea, the golf valleys and the mountains. From the terrace and infinity pool you can see across the golf course to the Mediterranean and the African coast beyond. The orientation gives afternoon and evening sun.

Magna Marbella Golf is 2.8 kilometres away, a 13-minute drive. The house overlooks golf valleys rather than sitting on a course, so you have the views without golfers passing the boundary. El Madroñal is quiet and spread out, with large plots and mountain air, but everything from the supermarket to the beach requires a car.

Buying off-plan in El Madronal 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.
