About this property

Overview

Buena Vista Hills consists of detached villas built on individual plots of between 649 and 806 square metres, sitting on a hillside above the AP-7 motorway in Mijas. The villas span three floors and range from 397 to 550 square metres of interior space, with three to five bedrooms and three to six bathrooms. Layouts are planned around high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in light and frame the sea and mountain views. The ground floor typically holds one bedroom, an open-plan kitchen and living area, and direct access to the garden and terrace. Two main bedrooms sit on the upper floor, each with an en suite and views over the coast. The lower floor gives you a large multipurpose room, two further bedrooms, and utility and storage areas. Outside, each villa has a private garden, covered terraces and a swimming pool.

The development sits within a gated community on elevated ground, which gives you the views but means everything nearby requires a drive or a long walk. The location is quiet and surrounded by pine forest, well away from the density and traffic of the coast. A Mercadona is four minutes by car. El Higuerón beach and the coastal strip are a short drive down the hill. Málaga Airport is 30 minutes away on the motorway, which you can reach quickly from here.

This suits buyers who want space, privacy and a modern villa with clear sight lines to the sea, and who are comfortable being car-dependent for shops, schools and leisure. The trade-off for the views and the hillside setting is that nothing is walkable in practice. Families will find the three-storey layout less convenient with young children, though the lower floor does give older children their own territory. The setting works well if you value seclusion and mountain air over being able to walk to a café or the beach.

Buena Vista Hills sits above the AP-7, towards the mountains in Mijas, giving you a hillside location away from the main coastal road. Málaga Airport is a straightforward 30-minute drive, making it practical for regular travellers. You can walk to Mercadona supermarket in 24 minutes or drive there in 4 minutes for everyday shopping. The development suits buyers who want mountain views and a quieter setting while staying close enough to reach the coast and airport without fuss.

Buena Vista Hills: Frequently Asked Questions

Playa de Torreblanca is 3.3 kilometres away, about nine minutes by car. The hillside position above the motorway makes it a drive rather than a walk, but you reach the coast quickly once you are on the AP-7.

Each villa has a private garden, a swimming pool and covered terraces totalling 134 to 137 square metres. You are responsible for maintaining your own plot, which ranges from 649 to 806 square metres. The gated community setting means no shared pool or communal garden areas.

Málaga Airport is 13 kilometres away, about 30 minutes by car. The development sits just above the AP-7 motorway, so you can join it quickly and reach the terminal without passing through congested coastal roads. The drive time makes lock-up-and-leave use straightforward.

The villas face south-west and offer sea, mountain, panoramic, garden and pool views. The hillside position above Mijas gives you clear sight lines over the coast, with the Sierra de Mijas behind. Floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floors make the most of the aspect.

No. The nearest supermarket is 1.9 kilometres away and the hillside roads are steep and lack proper pavements, so you will need a car for shops, schools and daily errands. The pine forest setting prioritises seclusion over walkable amenities.

Buying off-plan in Mijas 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.
