About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom finca with private pool in Alhaurín el Grande, Costa del Sol. This 166-square-metre country villa sits on a sweeping 25,034-square-metre plot with uninterrupted 360-degree views across protected countryside towards the National Park and Forests of Barranco Blanco. Built in 2000 and maintained to an excellent standard, the property holds a registered AFO certificate and operates from a three-chamber septic tank and registered well.
Inside, three bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy a thoughtfully arranged single-storey layout designed to capture light and views from every angle. The 40-square-metre terrace extends the living space outdoors and overlooks the private pool, which is set within mature gardens that stretch across more than six acres of land. Part-furnished interiors include fitted kitchens and bathrooms, with room to personalise the remaining spaces. One covered parking space provides shelter for a vehicle, while the expansive plot offers potential for equestrian use, agricultural projects or future extension, subject to planning permissions.
The finca stands between the whitewashed town of Alhaurín el Grande and the neighbouring village of Coín, both reachable within a ten-minute drive for weekly markets, restaurants and essential services. The Barranco Blanco nature reserve begins less than five minutes away by car, offering hiking trails and natural swimming pools along the river gorge. Málaga airport lies 35 kilometres to the south, accessible via the A-357 and A-7 coastal motorway in under 40 minutes.

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