About this property

Overview

Villa Salvia is a six-bedroom, eight-bathroom house on a 2,802 square metre hillside plot in Benahavís. The built area runs to 1,661 square metres across two floors, with 565 square metres of terraces. This is a large family home with space for extended stays and guests who prefer their own quarters.

The house includes a self-contained apartment with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. This sits separately from the main accommodation, which has five further bedrooms. The master suite occupies the main floor. Floor-to-ceiling windows run along the south-west-facing elevations, bringing in direct light through the afternoon and framing sea and mountain views. The plot backs onto the Monte Mayor Valley, so the outlook behind the house is green rather than built.

Villa Salvia sits above the AP-7 motorway, towards the mountains rather than the coast. Marbella Club Golf Resort is eleven minutes away by car. San Pedro Alcántara town centre is 24 minutes down the road. Gibraltar Airport is just over an hour. You will drive to shops, restaurants and the beach. The location suits buyers who want privacy and mountain air within reach of golf and the coast, but it does not suit anyone expecting to walk to daily errands.

The house is set within a gated urbanisation, so access is controlled and the immediate surroundings are low-density residential. Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is 19 minutes away. The size of the plot and the separate guest quarters make this a practical choice for families who host regularly or need live-in staff accommodation. The terraces and garden face the views, and there is a private pool.

VILLA SALVIA: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Saladillo is 6.4 kilometres away, about 18 minutes by car. The house sits inland of the motorway on a hillside plot in Benahavís, so the beach is not walkable. The setting trades immediate coastal access for mountain views and lower density.

The house looks out over sea and mountains. Floor-to-ceiling windows run along the south-west elevations, so you get direct afternoon light and the view opens across the coast. Behind the house the plot backs onto the Monte Mayor Valley, which is green rather than developed.

Yes, both are private. The 2,802 square metre plot gives you a pool, terraces and garden space that face the sea and mountain views. There is no communal area to share or pay service charges on, and the outdoor space is maintained as you choose.

The International School of Estepona is 21 minutes by car. Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is 19 minutes away. The nearest supermarket is 18 minutes. San Pedro Alcántara, which has a wider range of shops and services, is 24 minutes down the road. Nothing sits within walking distance.

The house includes a self-contained apartment with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. It sits apart from the main accommodation, which has five further bedrooms. This layout suits families who host long-term guests or need live-in staff quarters with privacy on both sides.

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.
