About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with private pool in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. The 830sqm south-facing plot delivers year-round sun across the garden, terraces and saltwater pool, whilst the 237sqm interior spreads across a single storey with direct access to outdoor space from multiple rooms. Built in 1982 and maintained to excellent condition, the property combines generous proportions with practical Mediterranean living.
Inside, the open-plan kitchen flows into a dining room with fireplace, whilst the three bedrooms each claim an en-suite bathroom. Marble floors run throughout the 237sqm layout, which includes a separate laundry room, storage room and guest toilet. The property offers both covered and uncovered terrace space, plus a rooftop solarium that captures panoramic views across the surrounding area. Air conditioning, double glazing and security shutters feature as standard, alongside an alarm system and 24-hour security service. The private garage accommodates one vehicle, and the garden benefits from an automatic irrigation system fed by a dedicated water tank.
Calahonda sits midway between Fuengirola and Marbella, placing this villa 1.5 kilometres from Calahonda Beach and its cluster of beachfront restaurants. The location delivers proximity to several golf courses within a 10-minute drive, whilst Mijas Costa town centre lies 4 kilometres inland. The south-facing orientation ensures the pool terrace receives direct sunlight from mid-morning through to evening, and the garden's mature planting provides natural screening along the plot boundaries. A barbecue area occupies one corner of the terrace, with glass doors connecting the outdoor kitchen space to the main dining room.

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.
