About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Cabopino, Costa del Sol. The west-facing orientation captures afternoon light across a 44sqm terrace where mountain backdrops meet glimpses of the Mediterranean. Inside, 122sqm of living space unfolds across three floors, anchored by a fully renovated kitchen with utility room and a living-dining area warmed by a working fireplace.
The master suite occupies the entire upper floor, complete with en-suite bathroom and direct access to a private terrace offering unobstructed views across the valley. Two additional bedrooms sit on the lower level alongside a second full bathroom, while a guest toilet serves the main floor. The property includes a dedicated parking space and access to a shared pool within the development. Built in 2007 and maintained in excellent condition, the layout separates sleeping quarters across two levels, creating natural privacy zones for family or guests.
La Romana sits in the Artola Alta area, a 5-minute drive from Cabopino Golf Marbella and the same distance to the sheltered marina at Puerto de Cabopino. The Artola Dunes nature reserve runs along the coastline here, protecting one of the few remaining stretches of mobile dunes on the Costa del Sol. Marbella's eastern beaches lie within 2 kilometres, while the town centre is 15 minutes by car along the A-7 coastal road.

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