About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in Marbella, Costa del Sol. This top-floor corner unit occupies a rare position within an exclusive five-home community in Urbanización Artola Alta, where the additional light and privacy of the end plot create a more spacious feel than standard semi-detached layouts. Built in 2023, the property combines 111 square metres of interior space with dual views across the Mediterranean and Cabopino Golf Marbella fairways.
The villa spans three levels and includes 37 square metres of terrace space alongside two bathrooms and a fully furnished specification. The corner position delivers natural light from multiple angles throughout the day, whilst the top-floor location removes the noise of neighbours overhead. Recent construction means contemporary finishes, modern insulation standards, and a layout designed for coastal living rather than retrofitted from an older blueprint.
Urbanización Artola Alta sits within the Artola–Cabopino area, a 10-minute walk from both the beach and Puerto de Cabopino marina, where restaurants line the waterfront and boat moorings fill the harbour. Cabopino Golf Marbella surrounds the community on multiple sides, and the course's clubhouse lies within a five-minute drive. The complex provides a communal pool and maintained gardens shared only among the five properties, keeping the setting quiet outside peak summer weeks.

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