About this property

Overview

Villa Ana is a five-bedroom contemporary villa on a sixteen-hundred-square-metre plot in Artola, with six hundred and five square metres built and two hundred and twenty-two square metres of terrace spread across three levels. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and there are two additional cloakrooms. The ground floor holds the open-plan kitchen and main living spaces, the first floor contains the bedrooms, and the lower level provides space for a gym, cinema room and laundry. An elevator connects all three floors. The plot includes a heated swimming pool and parking for two or three cars. High ceilings and full-height windows run throughout.

The villa sits on the sea side of the AP-7 in Artola, with the beach thirteen hundred and fifty-nine metres away on foot. Cabopino golf course is two hundred and twenty-six metres from the front gate, close enough to walk to the first tee. Puerto Cabopino marina is six minutes by car for waterfront restaurants and boat moorings. The English International College is seven minutes by car, and Málaga Airport is forty-seven minutes away. The south orientation puts the terrace and pool in sun for most of the day, and the elevated position gives sea, mountain and golf views from the upper floors.

This suits a family or a golfer who wants a detached home within walking distance of both the beach and a course, with enough space for guests and for dedicating rooms to specific purposes. The plot is large enough for privacy but not so large that maintenance becomes a burden. The drawback is the three-storey layout, which will not suit anyone with mobility concerns despite the elevator, and the location assumes you have a car for daily shopping and school runs.

VILLA ANA: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is 1.4 kilometres away, about a seventeen-minute walk or five minutes by car. The villa sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway in Artola, so you are walking towards the coast rather than having to cross the road. The south-facing upper floors have sea views over the golf course.

Cabopino golf course is two hundred metres from Villa Ana, close enough to walk to the first tee in a couple of minutes. The villa overlooks the course from its elevated position, so golf views form part of the panorama from the upper floors. Living next to a course means early tee times are practical, but it also means golfers and maintenance traffic throughout the day.

The villa has five bedrooms each with its own bathroom, so siblings do not share, and the plot is large enough for children to play outdoors. The English International College is 4.8 kilometres away, about seven minutes by car. A supermarket is seven minutes by car, and the beach is walkable for older children. The three-storey layout means stairs, though there is an elevator.

The elevated position in Artola gives sea, mountain, golf and garden views from the upper floors. The villa faces south, so the terrace and pool receive sun for most of the day. Full-height windows on all three levels bring light into the interior and frame the views, with the best outlooks from the first floor bedrooms.

Málaga Airport is thirty kilometres from Villa Ana, about forty-seven minutes by car along the AP-7 and A-7 coast roads. The journey time makes this practical for lock-up-and-leave use if you are flying in for weekends or short breaks. Puerto Cabopino marina is six minutes away if you prefer to arrive by boat.

Buying off-plan in Artola 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.
