About this property

Overview

VILLA SARA is a new development of a 5-bedroom detached villa for sale in Marbella, Costa del Sol, priced at €5,675,000. This is a single contemporary residence in Altos de los Monteros, a hillside area known for its elevation and long-distance coastal views. The property occupies a viewpoint position with sightlines extending to Gibraltar and the North African coastline. At this price level, the villa competes with established luxury estates in Sierra Blanca and La Zagaleta, but offers a more accessible location within the Marbella municipality while maintaining privacy and panoramic exposure.

The villa extends across 980 m² of built space over two levels, connected by a lift. Each of the five bedrooms includes an ensuite bathroom, with additional cloakrooms on both floors. The specification includes a spa and gym, a dedicated cinema room, and a separate leisure room. High ceilings and full-height windows are used throughout, with an internal patio designed to distribute natural light across the interior. The heated swimming pool and jacuzzi are positioned to take advantage of the coastal views. Underfloor heating runs through the property. The kitchen and bathrooms are supplied fully equipped, though buyers at this level typically request bespoke finishes or layout modifications during the construction phase.

Altos de los Monteros sits on the eastern edge of Marbella, approximately 12 minutes by car from the town centre and 15 minutes from Marbella's Golden Mile. The area attracts Northern European buyers, particularly German and Scandinavian families, who value the quieter hillside setting and the international schools within a 10 to 20-minute radius, including The English International College and Aloha College. The elevation provides the views but means all amenities require a car journey. There is no walking access to shops, restaurants, or beaches. The nearest commercial area is the Elviria district, around 6 minutes downhill, which offers supermarkets, medical services, and a selection of restaurants. Resale liquidity in Altos de los Monteros is slower than in beachside Marbella or gated communities with on-site facilities, a consideration for buyers evaluating this as an investment rather than a long-term residence.

This villa is offered as a new build, and prospective buyers should confirm the current construction status and expected completion date directly with the developer. The standard Spanish payment structure for off-plan or under-construction properties typically involves a reservation deposit, stage payments aligned with construction milestones, and a final balance on completion and key handover, though all amounts and schedules must be verified in the purchase contract. Independent legal representation is essential, particularly for a single-unit project of this value where there is no community of owners to share infrastructure or maintenance responsibilities. Buyers should budget for annual property tax, utilities, and private security or garden maintenance, which for a villa of this size typically exceeds €25,000 per year.

Villa Sara features 5 bedrooms across 980 m² of built space, providing generous accommodation and living areas for families or those seeking substantial coastal properties. The spacious layout is complemented by the private garden and garage that come with each Villa Sara residence.

Villa Sara is currently under construction and available off-plan, allowing buyers to secure a beachside property in Los Monteros before completion. Specific completion dates can be confirmed during the sales consultation for your chosen Villa Sara unit.

Buying off-plan in Los Monteros 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.
