About this property

Overview

Villa Maximus is a six-bedroom detached home set on more than half a hectare of private grounds in the mountains above Benahavís. The 1,200 square metres of living space include a gym and a cinema room, and the outdoor pool is heated for year-round use. The plot gives you mountain and golf views, with the fairways of Marbella Club Golf Resort less than 800 metres away. You get access to the resort's clubhouse and equestrian centre.

The hillside setting above the AP-7 keeps you away from the coastal crowds, but you need a car for everything. San Pedro Alcántara is 19 minutes away, and the nearest supermarket is 13 minutes by car. The International School of Estepona is within 16 minutes. Gibraltar Airport is an hour, which is manageable for regular flights.

Six bedrooms in 1,200 square metres means you have plenty of room for extended family or guests, and the plot is large enough for privacy without feeling remote. The villa comes with smart home systems built in, so lighting, climate and security are controlled from one interface. Mountain and golf views mean you see green slopes rather than other houses, but you are close enough to town that you do not sacrifice convenience.

This suits families who want space and quiet but still need schools and shops nearby, and golfers who want a course on the doorstep. The size and the setting make it impractical for anyone looking for a lock-up-and-leave second home.

VILLA MAXIMUS: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Saladillo is 5.1 kilometres away, about 14 minutes by car. The hillside location in Benahavís means you need to drive down to the coast. The inland setting gives you mountain and golf views instead of sea proximity, and the plot sits above the motorway where the land opens out.

The International School of Estepona is 4.8 kilometres away, about 16 minutes by car. Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is 5.5 kilometres, roughly 14 minutes. San Pedro Alcántara, 19 minutes away, has further schooling and medical facilities. Everything requires a car from this hillside position.

Yes. The pool is heated and sits within more than half a hectare of private grounds. You maintain the garden and pool yourself or arrange a service, which gives you full control over the outdoor space. The plot size means you can landscape it however suits your use, and there are no shared facilities.

Marbella Club Golf Resort is 800 metres away, about six minutes by car. The villa comes with access to the resort's clubhouse and equestrian centre. The plot overlooks the fairways, so you see the course from the house. Other courses around Benahavís and Marbella are within 20 minutes.

No. The nearest supermarket is 4.3 kilometres away, and the hillside roads are not designed for pedestrians. You need a car for shops, schools, the beach and restaurants. The setting trades walkability for space, quiet and views over the golf course and mountains.

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.
