About this property

Overview

Terra Nova Hills comprises 14 semi-detached villas on the El Soto Golf course in La Mairena. Each home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 180 square metres of built space, with terraces totalling 129 square metres. The plots range from 250 to 478 square metres. Every villa includes its own private pool. The frontline golf position means fairways and greens on your doorstep, though this also brings early morning golfers and occasional stray balls into view.

The homes face south-east, which gives light from morning onwards and warmth without the full afternoon glare of a due south aspect. From the terrace and living areas you see across the golf course to the sea beyond. The layout works for a small family or a couple who want guest space and a home office, though the 180 square metres will feel tight if you need four true bedrooms. Semi-detached means a shared wall with one neighbour, which keeps the plot size modest and the immediate surroundings closer than in a fully detached villa.

La Mairena sits inland and uphill from the coast, which means every errand needs a car. The Dia supermarket is a 14-minute drive. The location suits buyers who value quiet and mountain air over being able to walk to a bakery or a restaurant. The hillside position puts you above the AP-7 motorway and away from the coastal strip, so expect cooler evenings and less tourist traffic, but also fewer spontaneous outings on foot. Málaga Airport is 57 minutes away, manageable for regular travel but not quick.

Access to El Soto Golf Club is immediate, which matters if golf is a daily routine rather than an occasional hobby. If golf does not interest you, the frontline setting offers little advantage and you are paying for a view of a manicured lawn you will not use.

Terra Nova Hills sits above the AP-7, towards the mountains in La Mairena. This hillside position offers peace and distance from the coastal crowds while keeping key amenities within reach. Málaga Airport is 27.3 kilometers away, roughly a 57-minute drive. For daily shopping, Dia supermarket is 4.2 kilometers away and takes about 14 minutes to reach by car. This location works well for families who want mountain views and quiet surroundings without feeling isolated from the Costa del Sol's services.

TERRA NOVA HILLS: Frequently Asked Questions

Each villa shares one wall with a neighbour, unlike a detached villa which stands alone. This keeps the plot sizes smaller, between 250 and 478 square metres, and means you will hear more from next door than you would in a fully detached home. The arrangement also brings your neighbour's windows and garden closer to yours.

Playa de Calahonda is 4.5 kilometres away, about 16 minutes by car. The hillside location inland means walking to the beach is not practical. You will need to drive for every beach visit, so this suits buyers who prefer mountain quiet over daily seaside access.

Every villa has its own private pool within its plot. You maintain it yourself or pay someone to do it, but you control when it is used and by whom. There is no shared pool, so no communal changing rooms or pool rules.

From the terrace you see fairways and greens in the foreground, with the sea on the horizon beyond. The south-east orientation gives morning and early afternoon light across that view. The trade-off is that golfers pass close to your boundary from dawn onwards, and the odd ball may land in your garden.

Very little. The nearest supermarket is a 14-minute drive, and La Mairena itself has no high street or corner shop within walking range. You will drive for groceries, restaurants, the chemist and the beach. This location works if you value space and quiet over being able to walk to daily errands.

Buying off-plan in La Mairena 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.
