About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Benahavís, Costa del Sol. This corner position within the Los Eucaliptos complex delivers a 40-square-metre south-facing terrace, substantially larger than neighbouring units and designed for outdoor dining and year-round entertaining. The elevated setting provides open views across surrounding greenery towards the golf course while maintaining a strong sense of privacy.
Inside, 110 square metres of living space includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-plan kitchen and living area that extends directly onto the terrace. The apartment comes fully furnished with contemporary pieces selected to complement the bright, south-facing orientation. Both bathrooms feature modern fittings, while the master bedroom offers direct terrace access. One allocated parking space is included, and the corner configuration means windows on two sides, increasing natural light throughout the day.
Los Eucaliptos sits within the Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club, a gated community offering 24-hour security, landscaped gardens, and a shared swimming pool. The development occupies a low-density hillside position, with the Los Arqueros 18-hole championship golf course beginning approximately 200 metres from the complex entrance. Benahavís village centre lies four kilometres north, while San Pedro de Alcántara and the coast are a ten-minute drive south via the A-7176. The complex benefits from its proximity to the clubhouse facilities, which include a restaurant, pro shop, and driving range within walking distance.

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