About this property

Overview

Villa Azahar Peak is a four-bedroom detached villa on a plot of 2,006 square metres in Benahavís. The built area of 473 square metres is arranged over two floors, with four bathrooms and an additional guest toilet. The layout centres on an open-plan ground floor where the living, dining and kitchen areas flow into one another without partitions. Floor-to-ceiling glazing along the rear elevation opens the interior to the terraces and garden, and brings in views across the plot towards the mountains.

The location sits above the AP-7 motorway on the inland side, which means you are looking up at the mountains rather than down towards the coast. Marbella Club Golf Resort is an eleven-minute drive, and Gibraltar Airport is just over an hour away. For schools, Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is nineteen minutes by car, and The International School of Estepona twenty-two minutes. San Pedro Alcántara town centre, with its weekly market and range of shops, is twenty-four minutes. You will need a car for everything beyond the immediate neighbourhood.

The four bedrooms are spread across both floors. The master suite occupies one wing of the upper level, with its own bathroom and a terrace that takes the same panoramic views as the downstairs. The remaining three bedrooms share the other wing, each with access to either an en-suite or the family bathroom. The plot size gives you space for a private pool and landscaped garden without the grounds feeling overwhelming to maintain.

This villa suits buyers who want a standalone home with mountain views and proximity to golf, and who are comfortable with the drive into town for daily errands. Families will find the school run manageable, though it is a daily commitment. The elevated position and the open-plan design make the most of natural light, but the interiors can feel exposed if privacy from the garden is a concern.

VILLA AZAHAR Peak: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Saladillo is 6.4 kilometres away, about nineteen minutes by car. The villa sits inland of the AP-7 motorway on elevated ground in Benahavís, so the coast is not within walking distance. The location trades beach proximity for mountain views and quick access to golf courses.

You get panoramic mountain views from both floors, with the plot and pool visible from the terraces. The elevated inland position means you look up towards the mountains rather than out to sea. Floor-to-ceiling glazing along the rear of the house frames the views from the open-plan living areas and the master suite terrace.

Yes, you will need a car for everything beyond the immediate neighbourhood. The nearest supermarket is eighteen minutes away, San Pedro Alcántara town centre is twenty-four minutes, and the closest hospital nineteen minutes. Marbella Club Golf Resort is eleven minutes by car, which suits golfers but means daily errands require planning.

The International School of Estepona is twenty-two minutes by car, and Hospital Hospiten de Estepona nineteen minutes. San Pedro Alcántara, with its shops and weekly market, is twenty-four minutes away. The drive is manageable but daily, so this works for families who are comfortable with a rural school run rather than a walk to the gates.

Yes, the plot of 2,006 square metres gives you space for a private pool and landscaped garden. You are responsible for maintaining the grounds yourself, though the plot is large enough to design properly without becoming a burden. There is no shared pool or communal garden to fall back on.

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.
