About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with private pool in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This 2007-built property spreads across three floors with 214sqm of internal space and a 331sqm plot, offering flexible living areas that adapt to how you actually use a home. The completely enclosed ground-floor terrace could serve as a sun lounge, dining room, games room or home gym, whilst the garden-level floor opens through glass curtains directly onto the pool terrace.
The layout dedicates the middle floor entirely to sleeping quarters: a master suite plus two further bedrooms and an additional guest bathroom. Above, the ground floor holds a large lounge-diner, kitchen with separate utility room, and guest toilet alongside that versatile enclosed terrace. The garden level features a substantial open-plan room with its own fully fitted kitchen and direct terrace access, creating a self-contained entertaining space or potential guest suite. Outside, 65sqm of terrace surrounds the private pool, with the full plot extending to 331sqm. One parking space is included.
The property sits in Calahonda, a residential area between Marbella and Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. Calahonda beach lies approximately 1.5 kilometres away, reachable in under five minutes by car. The attached villa design provides the privacy and outdoor space of a detached home whilst reducing maintenance responsibilities, and furniture can be included or excluded according to preference.

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