About this property

Overview

Martagina Hills consists of 12 semi-detached houses on the quiet Manilva coastline, each sitting on a 213 square metre plot with 384 square metres of built space across three floors. The layout puts three en-suite bedrooms in the upper part of the house, one of them on the ground floor, all opening onto private terraces through full-height windows. Below ground there is a 91 square metre basement lit by an English courtyard, giving you convertible space for a cinema room, a gym or guest accommodation without the dungeon feel basements usually have. The kitchen comes fitted and open to the living areas, and each house has a private infinity pool. Every home has two street entrances, one at the front and one at the back, which makes daily logistics easier than they sound: one for parking, one for bins and deliveries.

The development sits 784 metres from Playa de la Chullera, a 10 minute walk to the sand, and that proximity without being on the beachfront itself keeps the setting quieter and more residential. Eroski supermarket is five minutes by car, and the larger shops and services of Sabinillas are a similar distance. Real Club de Golf de Sotogrande is 17 minutes away, Gibraltar Airport 36 minutes, and Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina eight minutes if you keep a boat or windsurf. The AP-7 motorway runs close by, which puts Marbella and Estepona within easy reach but does mean road noise will carry depending on wind direction.

These are large family houses for buyers who want space, privacy and a pool of their own rather than a shared community. The basement and the twin access points give you flexibility most townhouses do not, but the plot sizes are compact, so the outdoor space is mainly taken up by the pool and terraces rather than a garden. The setting suits full-time residents or long-stay second-home owners who will use the house regularly, less so occasional visitors who might find the scale and upkeep more than a holiday base requires.

MARTAGINA HILLS: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de la Chullera is 784 metres away, a 10 minute walk. The beach is close enough to reach on foot without the development sitting directly on the seafront, which keeps the immediate area quieter and more residential than beachfront locations tend to be.

Each house has a 91 square metre basement lit by an English courtyard, so you get natural light rather than the enclosed feel basements usually have. The space works as a cinema room, a gym or guest accommodation, and the courtyard means it does not feel like wasted below-ground storage.

Gibraltar Airport is 23 kilometres away, about 36 minutes by car. The drive is straightforward, which makes the houses practical for lock-up-and-leave use if you fly in and out regularly, though Málaga Airport is the larger alternative an hour further along the coast.

Colegio de Educación Infantil y Primaria San Luis de Sabinillas is seven minutes by car, hospital services are 11 minutes away, and the supermarket is five minutes. Day-to-day essentials are all within a short drive, though you will need a car for most of them rather than being able to walk.

Each house has its own private infinity pool on the plot. There is no communal pool or shared facilities, so you maintain your own outdoor space and do not share amenity areas with neighbours, which suits buyers who prefer that privacy and control.

Buying off-plan in Manilva 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.
