About this property
Overview
10-bedroom villa with sea views in Sierra Blanca, Costa del Sol. This four-level estate commands panoramic vistas across the Mediterranean and La Concha Mountain from its elevated position on Marbella's Golden Mile. Designed by award-winning Spanish architect Jesús del Valle Cardenete, the residence earned the 2017 Premios Maceal Award for Best International Villa, recognised for its classical proportions and refined detailing across 2,442 square metres of interior space.
The accommodation unfolds across four floors, housing 10 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms within a layout that balances grand entertaining spaces with private family quarters. Terraces extend across 836 square metres, providing multiple outdoor rooms that frame the coastal panorama. The 5,850-square-metre plot allows for formal gardens, mature planting, and secluded outdoor zones that step down the hillside. A southern orientation floods reception rooms with natural light throughout the day, whilst the scale of the build allows for dedicated service areas, staff accommodation, and storage facilities that support a residence of this calibre.
Sierra Blanca sits in the upper reaches of the Golden Mile, a gated enclave of substantial properties set into the mountainside above Marbella's coastal strip. The villa stands 4 kilometres from Marbella's historic old town, a 10-minute drive down through the hillside estates. Puerto Banús marina lies 6 kilometres to the west, whilst the nearest beach access points along the Golden Mile are 3 kilometres by road. The elevated position ensures privacy and quieter surroundings whilst maintaining direct access to the AP-7 motorway for Málaga Airport, 55 kilometres to the east.

Buying this villa in Sierra Blanca
Can foreigners buy property in Sierra Blanca?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Sierra Blanca. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Sierra Blanca?
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.
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.
