About this property

Overview

Villa Solis is a five-bedroom, five-bathroom home spread across 650 square metres of built space, with 4,200 square metres of private plot. The layout includes a cinema room, a heated pool and smart home systems throughout. This is a single large residence built for families who want space both inside and outside, with each of the five bedrooms served by its own bathroom. The internal areas are laid out across a single floor, making the home accessible and practical for families with young children or for buyers planning ahead for later stages of life.

The villa sits within the Marbella Club Golf Resort community in Benahavís, up in the hills above the AP-7. The immediate surroundings are golf fairways and mountain views, with forest trails within walking distance. This is a quiet, green setting, not a coastal one. Playa del Saladillo is a 12 minute drive, and San Pedro Alcántara town centre is about 20 minutes by car. The resort itself includes tennis courts, riding stables and restaurants, so you are not reliant on leaving the community for daily routines. Gibraltar Airport is 58 minutes away, which matters if you travel regularly for work or to visit family abroad.

The plot size gives you a private garden with room for children to play, for outdoor furniture away from the house, and for a heated pool that does not dominate the space. The views take in the golf course, the mountains behind Benahavís, and the sea in the distance. Being inside a gated golf resort means security and maintained communal areas, but it also means design rules, community fees and a car journey for most errands.

This suits golfers who want to walk onto the course, families who prefer mountain air to beachside density, and buyers who value privacy and a large plot over being able to walk to shops or the coast. It does not suit anyone who wants to be on foot for daily life or who prefers the energy of a town centre.

VILLA SOLIS: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Saladillo is 4.6 kilometres away, about 12 minutes by car. This is not a beachside home. The villa sits in the hills above the AP-7 motorway, surrounded by golf fairways and mountain views, so you drive to the coast rather than walk to it.

The International School of Estepona is 4.4 kilometres away, about 14 minutes by car. Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is 5.1 kilometres, roughly 12 minutes. The nearest supermarket is 11 minutes by car, so families living here year-round will drive for most errands and school runs.

The villa has 4,200 square metres of private plot. The garden is yours alone, large enough for children to play at a distance from the house and for outdoor furniture that does not crowd the pool. You pay for its upkeep, but you control how it is planted and used.

The villa looks out over the Marbella Club Golf Resort fairways, the mountains behind Benahavís, and distant sea. The position within the golf community means green open space in front rather than other buildings, though the coast itself is several kilometres away and you see it as a horizon line rather than a close feature.

Gibraltar Airport is 46 kilometres away, about 58 minutes by car. That journey matters if you fly often for work or to visit family abroad. The route runs inland of the coast road, so traffic flow depends on the time of day and the season.

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.
