About this property

Overview

El Quejigal sits in the quieter reaches of Marbella Club Golf Resort in Benahavís, above the AP-7 motorway and facing the mountains. This is a single large villa on a plot of 1,500 square metres, with 470 square metres of built space and 220 square metres of terraces. You are four minutes from Marbella Club Golf Resort and a 12-minute drive from the beach at Playa del Saladillo. San Pedro Alcántara town centre is 18 minutes away by car. Gibraltar Airport is 58 minutes.

The villa has four bedrooms and six bathrooms, spread over two floors. The entrance is on the first floor, where you find three en-suite bedrooms and a master suite with a dressing room. The ground floor holds a fourth double en-suite bedroom, open-plan living and dining areas, a kitchen, and direct access to the terraces, private heated pool and gardens. The site is elevated and set back from the road, with views over the golf course, forest and sea. The layout splits the bedrooms across both levels, which works well for families or groups who want some separation but may feel less convenient if you prefer all the sleeping space on one floor.

This is frontline golf in a gated community with 24-hour security and concierge service. The equestrian centre, practice range and club house are all within walking distance. You need a car to reach the beach, schools or supermarkets. The International School of Estepona is a 15-minute drive. The setting suits buyers who prioritise golf and riding over immediate access to the coast, and who are comfortable with a location that trades proximity to town for space, views and a lower density of neighbours. The plot size and the height of the site mean privacy, but the trade-off is that you are away from the busier parts of the coast where amenities cluster.

El Quejigal: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Saladillo is 4.8 kilometres away, which is about 12 minutes by car. The property sits inland of the AP-7 motorway in Benahavís, so the beach is not within walking distance. You will need a car for every trip to the coast.

The villa sits directly on Marbella Club Golf Resort, with the course immediately outside the plot boundary. You have views over the fairways and forest from the terraces. The practice range, club house and equestrian centre are all close enough to walk to, which is unusual for golf developments on the Costa del Sol.

The villa has its own private heated pool in the garden. The plot is 1,500 square metres, so you have space around the pool and across the terraces without sharing facilities with neighbours. Maintenance and heating costs are yours alone.

The International School of Estepona is 4.5 kilometres away, about 15 minutes by car. The nearest supermarket is 4.1 kilometres, roughly 11 minutes. Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is 5.3 kilometres. Everything requires a car from this location.

The villa faces the golf course and mountains, with sea views visible in the distance from the elevated plot. The ground floor living areas and terraces look out over the course and forest. The first floor bedrooms share the same outlook, though the description does not specify which individual rooms have the clearest sightlines to the sea.

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.
