About this property

Overview

Cerrado Heights is a new development of 3-bedroom detached villas for sale in Mijas, Costa del Sol, priced from €1,300,000 to €1,450,000. This is an exceptionally small-scale project comprising just two villas, both currently under construction in the Cerrado del Águila area with full building licences granted and legal guarantees in place. The limited inventory means buyers acquire one of only two properties rather than a unit within a larger community, which typically translates to greater privacy and more control over the immediate residential environment. Each villa occupies 426 m² of built space across three levels, a generous footprint for a three-bedroom property in this price bracket.

Both villas follow an identical specification: three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a layout distributed across ground floor, first floor, and basement. The ground floor accommodates an open-plan living area with integrated kitchen, with direct access to a private terrace, garden, and swimming pool. The first floor houses the master suite with its own terrace, plus the option to configure an additional bedroom depending on the buyer's requirements. The basement level provides extra living space, storage, and guest accommodation, adding functional flexibility beyond the principal bedroom count. Construction employs high-end materials and energy-efficient systems, though specific certifications or performance ratings are not detailed in the available documentation. The architectural approach is contemporary, with clean lines and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor connectivity.

Cerrado del Águila sits inland from the coast, approximately 20 minutes by car from both Málaga city and Marbella, positioning it as a midpoint between the two. This area attracts buyers seeking larger plots and more space per euro than equivalent budgets deliver closer to the shoreline, particularly Northern European families and retirees who prioritise tranquillity over beachfront proximity. The neighbourhood is residential and relatively quiet, with golf courses including Cerrado del Águila Golf Club within the immediate vicinity. Access to the coast, airport, and Marbella's commercial centres requires a car, so this is not a walkable urban environment. The trade-off is evident: substantially more built space and private outdoor area than €1.3 million would secure in a coastal apartment development.

Both villas are under construction with staggered delivery schedules: Villa 1 is expected to complete in June 2026, while Villa 2 follows in April 2027. Standard Spanish new build payment structures apply: reservation deposit secures the property, followed by stage payments aligned with construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. All amounts and payment schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review contracts, verify licences, and manage the conveyancing process. With only two units available, prospective buyers should clarify which villa corresponds to which delivery date and whether any specification customisation remains possible at this stage of construction.

Cerrado Heights: Frequently Asked Questions

The €1,300,000 to €1,450,000 price for Cerrado Heights covers the 426 m² villa with 3 bedrooms, a private garden, private garage, and your choice of either a private pool or access to communal pool facilities. All villas at Cerrado Heights come with sea views as standard, so you're getting the full package from day one.

Cerrado Heights is situated in Mijas Costa on the Costa del Sol, in a frontline golf position that gives you direct access to the course. The location puts you close to the beach, local amenities, and all the conveniences of the Costa del Sol while maintaining a more exclusive, resort-style setting.

All villas at Cerrado Heights are 426 m² with 3 bedrooms, so they follow the same floor plan and size. The main variation is your choice between a private pool or communal pool access, which affects the final price within the €1,300,000 to €1,450,000 range.

Cerrado Heights has a frontline golf position, meaning the villas sit right alongside the course with direct access. Combined with the sea views from every property, you get both golf and coastal scenery without having to travel, which is a rare combination on the Costa del Sol.

Cerrado Heights is expected to be completed in June 2026, giving you roughly 18 months from now. This timeline allows the developers to deliver quality construction while keeping the project moving forward at a steady pace.

Buying off-plan in Mijas Costa 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.
