About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Artola, Costa del Sol. Positioned directly on Cabopino Golf Course, this 164sqm residence delivers panoramic Mediterranean vistas from a 70sqm terrace that extends the living space outward and upward toward the horizon. The terrace wraps around the apartment with enough privacy and scale to function as an outdoor room where the sea becomes the focal point of daily life.
Inside, underfloor heating runs through all three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a separate guest toilet. The apartment was completed in 2024 and comes fully furnished to move-in standard. Two parking spaces sit beneath the building alongside a dedicated storage room. The development itself contains just 14 residences, which keeps the communal pool area quiet and the shared spaces uncrowded. Living areas flow into the terrace through full-width glazing, and the 164sqm interior accommodates generous bedroom proportions without wasted corridor space.
The apartment sits within a boutique complex on the edge of Cabopino Golf Course, one of the Costa del Sol's more established layouts. Cabopino marina lies 1.2 kilometres east, accessible by a flat coastal walk that takes roughly 15 minutes on foot. The marina holds a working fishing harbour, a dozen restaurants and direct beach access to one of Marbella's wider stretches of sand. Marbella town centre sits 15 kilometres west along the A-7, while Málaga airport is 35 kilometres northeast. The golf course fairways run immediately adjacent to the building's southern boundary.

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