About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom apartment with private pool in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor property offers direct access to a generous 67-square-metre terrace that wraps around the living spaces, creating multiple outdoor zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining. The terrace connects to a private pool area, a rare feature in apartment living that transforms everyday routines into resort-style experiences.
Inside, 100 square metres of accommodation includes two double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, and two full bathrooms finished to an excellent standard. A covered section of the terrace extends the living room, providing shade during summer months while maintaining the indoor-outdoor flow. The property includes a separate utility room for laundry and storage, keeping service areas discrete from the main living spaces. Lift access from the parking level means no stairs with shopping or luggage, and the south-facing orientation ensures natural light throughout the day.
Calahonda sits on a hillside between Marbella and Fuengirola, with the beach just 1.5 kilometres down the access road. The apartment lies within walking distance of Calahonda's commercial centre, where supermarkets, restaurants, and medical services cluster around the main roundabout. Several golf courses operate within a 10-minute drive, including Mijas Golf and the courses at Cabopino. The setting balances coastal proximity with a quieter, residential atmosphere, the terrain rising gently from the shoreline to provide sea and mountain views from the terrace.

Buying this apartment in Calahonda
Can foreigners buy property in Calahonda?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Calahonda. 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 Calahonda?
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.
