About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom apartment with private pool in Cabopino, Costa del Sol. This 284-square-metre duplex spans two levels within the gated Artola Homes community, built in 2021 and maintained in excellent condition. The southwest orientation ensures afternoon and evening light across both floors, whilst the dual-level layout creates distinct living zones connected by a glass-balustrade staircase.
The ground-floor reception opens onto a 30-square-metre terrace, with the kitchen and principal bedroom suite occupying this level. Downstairs, a second expansive living area serves as a media room, home office or guest reception, accompanied by two further bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom. The property includes a private pool accessible from the lower terrace, one parking space, and comes fully furnished. Three bathrooms across the two floors ensure privacy for residents and guests alike.
Artola Homes sits 400 metres from Cabopino's natural dune beach and marina, with the Cabopino Golf course bordering the eastern edge of the development. Residents access several outdoor swimming pools, an indoor pool, a gym, children's playground, concierge service and landscaped communal gardens within the gated perimeter. The AP-7 motorway lies three minutes north by car, placing central Marbella 15 minutes west and Málaga airport 35 minutes east. The marina holds a dozen waterfront restaurants and a seasonal beach club operating May through September.

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