About this property
Overview
Azahar de Nagüeles is a detached four-bedroom villa on a 1,000 square metre plot in the Nagüeles district of Marbella, set above the AP-7 motorway on the slopes running towards the mountains. The 267 square metres of built space include four bathrooms, and the 128 square metres of terrace take in sea views to the front and garden and pool views within the plot. The layout is designed around generous social areas that open directly onto the terraces and garden, giving the villa a flow that works for entertaining or family life in a warm climate.
Playa de Casablanca is a 13-minute walk down the hill, which makes beach access easy without needing to drive, though the slope back up is noticeable. The British International School is one minute away by car, a significant advantage for families with children. Marbella town centre is five minutes by car, and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is ten minutes away. Málaga Airport is 49 minutes, manageable for regular flights.
The Nagüeles setting brings privacy and quiet, with space around the property that you do not get closer to the coast, but it also means you rely on a car for almost everything beyond the beach walk. The villa suits families who want a detached home with a large plot and good school access, or buyers who prefer a hillside position with sea views over a beachfront location. The size of the plot and the four bedrooms make it a substantial family home rather than a compact retreat.

AZAHAR DE NAGÜELES: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach from Nagüeles?
Playa de Casablanca is 13 minutes on foot from the villa. The walk down is straightforward, but the return climb up the slope is steep enough that most people use a car for anything more than a quick beach visit.
What size is each villa?
Each villa has 267 square metres of built space and 128 square metres of terrace, spread across a 1,000 square metre plot. All four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and the social areas are designed to open directly onto the terrace and garden.
Does the villa have a private pool or shared facilities?
The villa has its own private pool within the 1,000 square metre plot. This means you control maintenance and upkeep yourself, but you are not sharing the pool with neighbours or working around communal timetables.
What is close by for families with children?
The British International School is one minute away by car, which is the main family advantage of Nagüeles. Hospital Recoletas Salud Marbella is four minutes by car, and a supermarket is two minutes. Almost everything else requires driving.
How far is Málaga Airport?
Málaga Airport is 49 minutes by car. That is manageable for regular travel, though the journey crosses Marbella and can add time during summer traffic. The distance makes the villa practical for lock-up-and-leave use without the very short transfers of developments closer to the airport.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
Buying off-plan in Nagueles 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 Nagueles?
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.
