About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with private pool in La Mairena, Costa del Sol. This 149sqm residence sits elevated above the coast where mountain air meets Mediterranean views, offering a rare combination of seclusion and accessibility. The property's position captures sweeping vistas across the sea and the Andalusian sierra, visible from multiple vantage points throughout the house and its outdoor spaces.
Inside, the layout distributes three bedrooms and four bathrooms across a single level, with 55sqm of terrace space extending the living area outdoors. The main rooms open directly onto these terraces, creating natural flow between indoor and outdoor zones. Built in 1994 and maintained in excellent condition, the villa includes covered parking for one vehicle. Interiors receive abundant natural light through large windows that frame the coastal and mountain panorama. Furniture is available by separate negotiation.
La Mairena occupies elevated terrain 12 kilometres inland from Marbella's Golden Mile, positioned between the coast and the protected forests of the Sierra de las Nieves. The urbanisation maintains a low-density character with individual properties set among Mediterranean pines and cork oaks. Elviria beach lies 15 minutes by car down the winding access road, whilst Marbella town centre sits 20 minutes west along the A-7. The area attracts buyers seeking privacy and views without full mountain isolation, remaining connected to coastal services and the international airport at Málaga, 45 minutes east via motorway.

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