About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. This 1915 property sits on Calle Luis de Armiñán, one of the village's most desirable streets, and is undergoing a complete reformation scheduled for completion in June 2026. The rebuild preserves original architectural features whilst introducing contemporary interiors and a private pool across 350 square metres of outdoor space.
The 190-square-metre layout places a double bedroom with en-suite shower room on the ground level, ideal for guests requiring single-storey access. The main salon retains the original fireplace and includes a custom-built entertainment wall with terrace doors opening to multiple sun-facing outdoor areas. Two additional bedrooms occupy the upper level, each with its own bathroom, and the property includes three bathrooms total. Several terraces provide varied outdoor zones, from morning breakfast spots to evening dining areas, all benefiting from the elevated position that delivers those sea views across the valley.
Gaucín sits 630 metres above sea level in the Genal Valley, offering cooler summer temperatures than the coastal strip below. The village centre lies within a three-minute walk, where the weekly Sunday market, local shops and traditional restaurants cluster around the main square. Ronda, with its dramatic gorge and historic bullring, is 35 kilometres to the northeast, whilst the beaches of Manilva are 40 minutes by car down winding mountain roads. The property's street position places it close to the footpath leading up to Castillo del Águila, the Moorish castle ruins that crown the village's highest point.

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