About this property

Overview

Villa Henrietta is a six-bedroom villa on a 2,395-square-metre plot in the Mante Mayar urbanisation, a gated community in the hills above Benahavís. The house spreads over 1,179 square metres across two levels, with eight bathrooms and 383 square metres of terrace. Five of the bedrooms sit in the main house, while a sixth forms part of a self-contained guest apartment with its own kitchen, living room and bathroom. Floor-to-ceiling windows run through the open-plan ground floor, linking the main bedroom suite, kitchen and living room to a covered terrace. The layout suits extended families or those who host regularly and want separation between guest and family quarters.

The villa sits above the AP-7 motorway, towards the mountains rather than the coast. This elevated position brings mountain and sea views across the valley, but means every errand needs a car. The Marbella Club Golf Resort is eleven minutes away, close enough for frequent rounds. San Pedro Alcántara, the nearest town centre, takes twenty-four minutes to reach. Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is nineteen minutes by car, as is The International School of Estepona. Gibraltar Airport is just over an hour away, an easier option for international travel than Málaga.

The setting trades coastal convenience for space, quiet and views. The gated urbanisation offers security and privacy, but you are a drive from supermarkets, restaurants and beaches. This suits buyers who value seclusion and proximity to golf over being in walking distance of shops and nightlife. The plot size and guest apartment configuration make it practical for multigenerational living or buyers who entertain often and want guests to have their own space.

VILLA HENRIETTA: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Saladillo is 6.4 kilometres away, about eighteen minutes by car. The villa sits inland of the AP-7 motorway in the hills above Benahavís, so the beach is not walkable. The elevation brings views across the valley to the sea, but every trip to the coast requires a car.

The 2,395-square-metre plot has a private pool, garden and parking. All outdoor space is yours to maintain or arrange upkeep for. The 383 square metres of terrace wraps around the ground floor, connecting through floor-to-ceiling windows to the main living areas.

The International School of Estepona is twenty-one minutes by car, Hospital Hospiten de Estepona nineteen minutes. The nearest supermarket is seventeen minutes away. San Pedro Alcántara, the closest town centre for shops and services, takes twenty-four minutes to reach. Nothing is within walking distance from this hillside location.

The villa looks both ways. Its elevated position in the hills brings panoramic views across the valley, taking in both mountain and sea. The orientation suits buyers who value views from height over being at sea level or directly on the golf course.

Marbella Club Golf Resort is 2.3 kilometres away, eleven minutes by car. Close enough for regular play, but you still need to drive. The setting appeals to golfers who want proximity to the course without being on the fairway, and who prefer a hillside plot with views to a golf-front position.

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.
