About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This top-floor position within a small gated community of just nine independent houses delivers uninterrupted Mediterranean views from the rooftop terrace, where the coastline stretches east and west across the horizon.
The 113sqm interior opens onto an open-plan living area with a working fireplace, leading to three generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite to the principal bedroom. Air conditioning runs through all rooms. The ground level houses a practical laundry room off the kitchen and ample storage space beneath the main living floor. Outside, multiple terraced areas include an open terrace fitted with retractable sunshades and a dedicated sun lounge, with front-facing terraces capturing morning light. One assigned parking space sits within the gated parking area.
Jardines de Calahonda borders Cabopino Golf Course, less than a five-minute walk from the first tee. The community pool and landscaped gardens sit within the secure grounds, maintained for the nine properties. Calahonda beach lies 1.2 kilometres south, a ten-minute walk through the residential streets. The villa has been continuously maintained by the same owners since 1990, with original features including the stone fireplace and terracotta floor tiles in the entrance hall still intact.

9 questions answered
Buying this villa 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.
