About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with private pool in Manilva, Costa del Sol. This corner semi-detached property occupies 193 square metres across two levels, delivering unobstructed views across the Mediterranean, surrounding mountains, and the vineyard-lined slopes that define this stretch of western coastline. The open-plan living and dining room centres on a working fireplace and opens directly onto a 50-square-metre terrace through full-width patio doors.
Inside, the ground floor houses a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and integrated wine cooler, plus a separate laundry room and guest bathroom. Marble flooring runs throughout both levels. The master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, whilst the two additional bedrooms share a family bathroom on the upper floor. Air conditioning operates independently on each level. A Juliet balcony extends from the first floor, and the property includes one designated parking space within the gated community.
The villa sits within a small, low-density development on the outskirts of Manilva village, where the hillside terrain opens out towards the coast. Manilva's old quarter, with its whitewashed square and weekend market, lies 2 kilometres inland. The nearest beach access at Playa del Castillo is a six-minute drive south, where the remains of a fourth-century Roman fish-salting factory still mark the shoreline. The property comes fully furnished and remains in excellent condition since its construction in 2004.

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