About this property
Overview
Agua Turnkey is a detached three-bedroom villa on a 1,230 square metre plot in Bel Air. The house covers 295 square metres inside, arranged over three storeys.
The ground floor holds an open-plan living and dining room connected to a kitchen with an island, plus a third bedroom that also works as an office and a full bathroom. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a dressing room, an en-suite bathroom and a private terrace with sea views. The second and third bedrooms share a bathroom. The semi-basement, 75 square metres, contains a multipurpose room large enough for a cinema or gym, a sauna and wellness area, a laundry and technical room, and a storage room. Outside, a swimming pool and garden occupy the remainder of the plot. Covered and uncovered terraces total 25 square metres, though the layout allows for more.
Bel Air sits on the sea side of the AP-7, 1,372 metres from Playa del Saladillo. You can walk to the beach in 17 minutes or drive there in five. San Pedro Alcántara town centre is an 11-minute drive, Tramores Golf 13 minutes, and Gibraltar Airport 53 minutes. The International School of Estepona and a Lidl supermarket are both within easy reach. This location suits families who want beach access without leaving the main coast road, and golfers looking to be near quality courses.
The villa includes aerothermal air conditioning, solar panels for self-consumption, and home automation. The construction uses certified sustainable materials, and the energy certificate is A+, which brings down running costs. A property of this size and specification needs regular upkeep, and the garden and pool require year-round attention. The plot is large enough to feel private but small enough to manage without full-time help.

AGUA - TURNKEY DELIVERY: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach from Bel Air?
Playa del Saladillo is 1.4 kilometres away, a 17-minute walk or five minutes by car. The villa sits on the sea side of the AP-7, so you do not cross the motorway to reach the shore. Bel Air gives you beach access without the noise or the crowds that come with a beachfront address.
What facilities are nearby for families?
The International School of Estepona is a nine-minute drive, and Hospital Hospiten de Estepona is seven minutes away. A supermarket is less than a kilometre from the villa, reachable in three minutes by car. San Pedro Alcántara, with its wider choice of shops and services, is 11 minutes up the coast.
Does the villa have a private garden and pool?
Yes. The 1,230 square metre plot holds the house, a private swimming pool, and a garden. The outdoor space is yours alone, which means privacy but also year-round maintenance. A plot this size needs regular attention, especially in summer, though it is small enough to manage without permanent staff.
What views do you get from the property?
The master bedroom terrace has sea views, and other rooms look over the garden and pool. Bel Air sits on a slope, so you gain elevation without being high in the hills. The panoramic views take in the coast, but the setting remains close to amenities and the beach.
How far is Gibraltar Airport?
Gibraltar Airport is 45 kilometres away, a 53-minute drive in normal traffic. That makes the villa practical for lock-up-and-leave use, though Málaga Airport is closer for most international flights. The coast road is direct, and Bel Air sits near the AP-7 junction, so access is straightforward.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Bel Air 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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Bel Air?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
