About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with beachfront position in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This duplex occupies the top floor of a low-rise development directly on the Mediterranean shoreline, where east-south-west orientation delivers morning sun on the main terrace and evening light on the upper solarium. The property underwent complete renovation in recent years, replacing all electrical and plumbing systems alongside the installation of designer bathrooms with underfloor heating.
The 130sqm interior divides across two levels, beginning with an open-plan kitchen fitted with Siemens appliances that flows into a living and dining area opening onto a 35sqm terrace at sea level. Large-format Porcelanosa porcelain tiles run throughout both floors. Upstairs, two double bedrooms share access to a private solarium where the roofline steps back to create an additional outdoor room with uninterrupted views across the water. Both bathrooms feature contemporary fittings and heated floors, while the apartment comes fully furnished with pieces selected to complement the coastal setting.
The complex sits at the foot of the coastal path linking Calahonda's centre to the east, placing shops and restaurants within a five-minute walk. Cabopino marina lies 1.2 kilometres west along the same promenade, passing the UNESCO-protected dune systems that buffer this stretch of coastline. One allocated parking space accompanies the property in the communal garage beneath the building.

Buying this penthouse 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.
