About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with private pool in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. Built in 2020, this 416sqm property sits on a 961sqm plot and comes fully furnished to an exacting standard. The open-plan kitchen centres on a substantial island unit in polished stone, flowing directly into the ground-floor living space where floor-to-ceiling glazing opens onto the pool terrace.
Across three floors, the layout delivers four bathrooms alongside the three bedrooms, with the principal suite occupying the entire upper level and opening onto a private terrace. The ground floor incorporates the main social spaces and direct pool access, while the lower level provides additional accommodation and storage. Outside, the private swimming pool is set into landscaped gardens with mature planting, and one covered parking space sits behind electric gates. The plot extends to nearly 1,000sqm, offering established privacy and multiple terrace zones that catch sun throughout the day.
Calahonda positions this villa 800 metres from Calahonda Beach, reachable on foot in under ten minutes. The immediate area provides supermarkets, restaurants, and medical facilities within walking distance, while Marbella lies 20 minutes west along the A-7. The coastal path connecting Calahonda to neighbouring Cabopino runs directly below the residential zone, and Málaga Airport sits 35 kilometres east via the autopista. The property's 2020 construction means underfloor heating, double glazing, and pre-installation for integrated home systems are already in place.

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.
