About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with beachfront position in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. The property sits directly on the shoreline, offering uninterrupted sea views from the living spaces and immediate access to the sand. Inside, the recently renovated interior spans 145 square metres across a single level, with a bright living and dining room that opens onto the exterior. The kitchen features a practical layout with a separate utility area for storage and laundry, keeping the main cooking space uncluttered.
The three bedrooms provide generous proportions, suitable for family accommodation, guest rooms, or a home office. Two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, both finished to a good standard following the recent renovation. The property comes part-furnished, allowing you to move in quickly whilst adding your own touches over time. One parking space is included, and the 422-square-metre plot offers substantial outdoor space currently left unfinished, giving you complete freedom to design terraces, gardens, or outdoor dining areas to your specification.
The villa sits within La Duquesa, a quieter residential area on the western Costa del Sol known for its marina and golf courses. The property is a five-minute walk from La Duquesa Marina, where you'll find waterfront restaurants, shops, and boat moorings. Estepona town centre lies 10 minutes away by car, whilst Sotogrande and its international school are 15 minutes in the opposite direction. The beachfront position means you step directly onto the sand from your plot.

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