About this property

Overview

Villa Selene Luxe is a five-bedroom, six-bathroom villa that sits on a plot of 1,403 square metres in Los Flamingos, with a built area of 733 square metres spread over two levels. This is a large family home. The layout includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms and a guest toilet. The plot provides space for a private pool, terracing and garden areas. Contemporary architecture with large expanses of glass means natural light throughout.

The villa sits on elevated ground, which delivers mountain, golf and panoramic views as well as views over the garden and pool. Los Flamingos is frontline golf, so you are living on or beside the course. That brings quiet and open space, but it also means you need a car for most errands. Playa del Saladillo is a 23 minute walk or 11 minute drive. Flamingos Golf is four minutes by car. San Pedro Alcántara town centre, with its restaurants and shops, is 17 minutes' drive. The International School of Estepona and Hospital Hospiten de Estepona are both within 16 minutes. Gibraltar Airport is 57 minutes away.

Los Flamingos sits between the AP-7 motorway and the coast, so you are closer to the beach than many inland developments, but the motorway runs behind the urbanisation. The setting suits families who want beach access without being in the middle of a resort town, and golfers who want the course within reach. The plot size, bedroom count and garage make this a practical proposition for a family with children, or for joint households. The location is calm rather than central, and the villa is large enough that you have to like space.

VILLA SELENE LUXE: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Saladillo is 1.8 kilometres away. You can walk it in 23 minutes or drive in 11. The beach is accessible without a motorway journey, but the walk involves a gradient and no pavement for part of the route, so most residents drive.

You are living on or beside the course, which means uninterrupted views, no buildings opposite and quiet. The drawback is that amenities are not within walking distance. The nearest supermarket is 1.3 kilometres away, a 10 minute drive, and San Pedro Alcántara is 17 minutes by car.

The 1,403 square metre plot provides space for a private pool, terracing and garden. You are responsible for maintaining it yourself or arranging contractors. The plot is large enough that upkeep requires planning, but you have privacy and outdoor space that suits children or dogs.

The International School of Estepona is 2 kilometres away, a 16 minute drive. Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is 3.7 kilometres, 12 minutes by car. San Pedro Alcántara, with supermarkets, shops and restaurants, is 17 minutes' drive. Everything requires a car, so this location suits families with reliable transport.

Gibraltar Airport is 45 kilometres away, about 57 minutes by car. That makes the villa practical for lock-up-and-leave use, though the journey involves crossing the border into Gibraltar, which can add time during peak hours or if queues are long.

Buying off-plan in Los Flamingos 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.
