About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with private pool in San Pedro de Alcántara, Costa del Sol. The 87sqm rooftop terrace occupies the entire upper floor, fitted with a jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen including fridge and dishwasher, and separate lounge and dining zones under open sky. The southeast orientation delivers natural light from morning through afternoon, whilst the pedestrianised location eliminates road noise.
The 149sqm interior is arranged across two levels. Three bedrooms include two with en-suite bathrooms, and there are four bathrooms in total. The ground-floor living area connects to the kitchen, which opens to a terrace separate from the rooftop space. Floors, finishes and fixtures are in excellent condition throughout, maintained to a high standard since the building's construction in 1971. The upper level is dedicated entirely to the rooftop terrace, accessed via internal stairs.
The property sits in a pedestrianised street in central San Pedro de Alcántara, 800 metres from the town's beachfront promenade. San Pedro's boulevard, lined with cafés and restaurants, is a three-minute walk. The terrace delivers 360-degree views: the Mediterranean to the south, La Concha mountain to the north, and the town's low-rise roofscape in between. The outdoor kitchen's dishwasher and fridge are built into weatherproof cabinetry beside the BBQ station.

Buying this penthouse in San Pedro de Alcántara
Can foreigners buy property in San Pedro de Alcántara?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in San Pedro de Alcántara. 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 San Pedro de Alcántara?
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.
