About this property

Overview

Ocean View Marbella delivers large ground floor apartments on a hillside above Ojén, backing onto 230 hectares of protected nature reserve. These are substantial homes. The two-bedroom units start at 127 square metres of living space and 48 square metres of terrace, while the four-bedroom layouts reach 288 square metres inside with terraces stretching to 285 square metres. That makes the larger properties effectively single-storey villas with private gardens. Every home has a choice of communal or private pool, garage or parking, and views out to the Mediterranean, often extending east to Sierra Nevada or west to Gibraltar and the African coast.

The setting is gated and quiet, suited to buyers who want separation from the coastal crowds. Ojén sits inland, meaning you drive to everything: shops are close enough for daily needs, but the beach at Playa de Calahonda takes 18 minutes, and Marbella itself is a similar distance. El Soto Golf sits one minute away, making this location work particularly well if you play regularly. Málaga Airport is 58 minutes by car. Families with children at St Anthony's College will need to allow 20 minutes each way for school runs.

This is a development for households seeking space and privacy rather than walkable convenience. The terraces are large enough to live outdoors much of the year, and the mountain air is cooler than the coast in summer. The drawback is isolation. Without a car, you are stranded. Even with one, daily life means driving, and the commute to work in Marbella or Estepona will test your patience over time.

Málaga Airport is 58 minutes away by car, making this convenient for international travel.

Ocean View Marbella: Frequently Asked Questions

The apartments range from 127 to 288 square metres of living space, with terraces measuring 48 to 285 square metres. Layouts run from two to four bedrooms, with the four-bedroom homes approaching villa scale. All units include garage or parking, and every home offers a choice between communal or private pool.

Playa de Calahonda lies four kilometres away, about 18 minutes by car. Ojén sits inland of the motorway, on a hillside above the coastal strip, so reaching the sea means driving. The distance works for weekend beach trips but not for walking down after breakfast.

Every home looks out to the Mediterranean, with many catching Sierra Nevada to the east or Gibraltar and the African coast to the west. Properties face east, south or south west, and most also see the surrounding mountains or the gardens below. The elevation above Ojén puts the views above neighbouring rooflines.

St Anthony's College sits 20 minutes away by car, and the nearest hospital is 19 minutes in the opposite direction. Shops lie close enough for daily errands, though still a drive rather than a walk. Fuengirola, the nearest town for wider shopping and services, takes half an hour to reach.

El Soto Golf sits one minute from the development, which matters only if you use it regularly. If you do not play, the course is simply green space that keeps building away. The hillside setting and nature reserve do more for the feel of the location than the proximity to fairways.

Buying off-plan in Ojen 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.
