About this property

Overview

Villa Salvia is a new development of a 6-bedroom detached villa for sale in Benahavis, Costa del Sol, priced at €4,975,000. This is a single-unit project occupying a hillside position in the Monte Mayor Valley, a gated residential enclave where properties at this price point typically sit on larger plots than equivalent villas closer to the coast. The architecture is contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling glazing across two levels designed to maximise views across the valley towards the Mediterranean. Monte Mayor attracts buyers seeking privacy and natural surroundings without sacrificing access to coastal amenities, and this villa's specification reflects that market.

The villa offers 1,443 m² of built space across six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Five bedrooms are integrated into the main residence, including a master suite on the principal floor. A sixth bedroom forms part of a self-contained guest apartment with its own kitchen, living area, and bathroom, which can function independently from the main house. The design emphasises open-plan living spaces with large-format windows that connect interior rooms to the surrounding landscape. A private pool is included. Parking arranoptionents are not confirmed in the available data, so prospective buyers should verify garage or carport provision directly with the developer. The layout is split across two floors, with the architecture using clean lines and minimal external ornamentation.

Benahavis sits inland from the coastal strip, approximately 15 minutes by car from San Pedro de Alcántara and 20 minutes from Puerto Banús. The Monte Mayor Valley is a secure, low-density residential area popular with Northern European buyers who prioritise larger plot sizes and mountain or sea views over beachfront proximity. The municipality has a reputation for quality restaurants, but day-to-day shopping and international schools are more accessible in San Pedro or Marbella itself. The drive to the coast involves winding roads, which some buyers find inconvenient for daily commutes but others value for the separation it provides from busier coastal zones. Resale liquidity in this price bracket depends heavily on the villa's condition and the strength of the wider Marbella market.

This property is marketed as a new development, but completion status is not specified in the available data. Buyers should confirm whether the villa is off-plan, under construction, or ready for immediate occupation. Standard Spanish new build transactions typically involve a reservation deposit, stage payments during construction if applicable, and a final balance on completion and key handover, with exact amounts and schedules set by the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review contracts, verify planning permissions, and ensure all payments are protected by bank guarantees where required. The self-contained guest apartment may offer rental income potential or multigenerational living arranoptionents, which could influence both mortgage structuring and long-term holding costs.

Buying off-plan in Benahavis 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.
