About this property

Overview

ZOE LUXE is a four-bedroom villa on a 2,956-square-metre plot in the Monte Mayor gated community, high in the hills of Benahavís. The 527 square metres of interior is split across two floors, with five bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling glass that opens the main living spaces to sea, mountain and valley views. The architecture follows a horizontal, contemporary line, with wide terraces, an outdoor pool and garden areas that extend the living space outwards. The plot size gives you distance from neighbours and a private feel, unusual for a single villa on the coast.

Monte Mayor sits well above the AP-7, surrounded by protected hillside and forest. The community is gated with round-the-clock security and low building density, which means no through traffic and a quiet setting. You are 14 minutes by car from Marbella Club Golf Resort and half an hour from Puerto Banús, so access to golf, marinas and international schools is straightforward, but you are not within walking distance of shops or cafés. Everything here requires a car.

The villa suits buyers who want space, views and complete privacy, and who are comfortable with the trade-off of being isolated from street life. Families with young children may find the hillside location and the drive to schools less practical. The plot and the elevation give you a sense of being removed from the coast, which is exactly what this setting is designed to offer.

ZOE LUXE: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa del Saladillo is 5.6 kilometres away, about 22 minutes by car. The villa sits high in the Monte Mayor hills, well inland of the motorway, so the beach is not a quick trip. This is a mountain setting, not a coastal one, and the journey involves winding roads down through the hillside before you reach the shore.

Nothing. The development is on a gated hillside surrounded by forest and protected land, with no shops, cafés or pavements nearby. You need a car for everything, including the supermarket run, which is 5.1 kilometres away. The seclusion is the point, but it means every errand is a drive.

The villa has its own pool on a 2,956-square-metre plot, so the outdoor space is entirely private. You are responsible for maintaining the pool and garden yourself or arranging for someone to do it, which is a consideration if you use the property only part of the year.

Sea, mountain and panoramic valley views, with the pool visible from the main living areas. The plot sits on elevated land in Benahavís, so the sightlines stretch across the hills and out towards the coast. Floor-to-ceiling glass throughout the villa is designed to make the most of that elevation.

The International School of Estepona is 5.5 kilometres away, about 25 minutes by car. Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is the same distance, roughly 23 minutes. Both involve a descent from the hillside and then a drive along the coast road, so nothing is close if you need it quickly.

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.
