About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in Manilva, Costa del Sol. This east-facing property occupies the top floor of a semi-detached building, where the solarium captures partial Mediterranean views alongside mountain vistas. Built in 1984 across 142 square metres, the villa includes a separate study that functions as flexible fourth-bedroom space.
The ground floor connects kitchen, dining and living areas in a continuous layout that extends to a 40-square-metre terrace. Two bedrooms share this level with a refurbished bathroom, while the upper floor houses the principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and the additional study room. Air conditioning runs through all rooms, and a working fireplace anchors the living space. The property remains unfurnished, allowing incoming owners to configure the interiors to their requirements.
The villa sits within Princesa Kristina, a residential community in Manilva that maintains landscaped communal gardens and a recently retiled swimming pool. Manilva village centre lies 3 kilometres inland, whilst the nearest beach access at Playa del Castillo sits 2 kilometres south. The development's position on the western edge of the Costa del Sol places it 15 minutes by car from Estepona's marina and 20 minutes from Sotogrande's golf courses. The community pool area provides sunbathing zones alongside the swimming facilities.

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