About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom townhouse in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. This three-storey home centres around a wide spiral staircase with 70-centimetre treads that connects 60 square metres of living space. The property combines authentic Moorish zellige tiles and marble with contemporary open-plan design, creating interiors that feel both rooted in Andalusian tradition and unexpectedly modern.
The ground floor opens into a loft-style living area with exposed architectural features, while the upper levels accommodate two bedrooms fitted with Italian Marcapiuma mattresses and premium French bedding. A single bathroom serves both sleeping areas. The kitchen incorporates marble worktops and sits within the open-plan layout. At roof level, a nine-square-metre private terrace delivers unobstructed panoramic views stretching across the Strait of Gibraltar to the African coastline. The property comes fully furnished and presents in excellent condition throughout its three floors.
Gaucín sits in the Serranía de Ronda mountain range, 45 minutes inland from the coast. The townhouse stands within a short walk of Andrades boutique in the village centre, where whitewashed streets climb towards the Castillo de Águila. Ronda lies 35 kilometres to the north, while Estepona and the Mediterranean beaches sit 30 kilometres south on the coastal road. The property's elevated position above the village provides the sightlines that reach Gibraltar and North Africa on clear days.

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