About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. This 452-square-metre property sits on a remarkable 11-acre plot, built in 2008 and maintained in pristine, never-lived-in condition. The south-facing living-dining room features two working fireplaces, a skylight, and French doors that open directly onto a 50-square-metre covered pergola.
High ceilings and oversized windows define the interior spaces, with terracotta flooring and exposed stone walls adding texture throughout. The entrance hall includes a skylight and a high-set window alongside a guest toilet. All three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, offering privacy across the 452 square metres of living space. The living room's dual fireplaces anchor a room that extends onto the terrace, where views stretch across natural landscape towards distant sea glimpses. A covered pergola provides 50 square metres of outdoor living space, while the 11-acre grounds offer scope for equestrian facilities, orchards, or further landscaping. One parking space is included.
The property stands in Gaucín, a white village perched in the Serranía de Ronda mountains, 45 minutes inland from the coastal towns of Estepona and Sotogrande. The village centre, with its castle ruins and traditional tapas bars, sits 3 kilometres from the property along winding mountain roads. Málaga Airport lies 115 kilometres to the east, approximately 90 minutes by car through the Ronda route.

Buying this villa 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.
