About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. Built in 2023, this new-construction property delivers 218 square metres of contemporary living space across multiple levels, including a private basement that converts readily into a cinema room or home gym. The partial sea views extend across the coastal terrain from the upper floor, while the 24-square-metre terrace overlooks the private swimming pool set within a 581-square-metre plot.
The ground floor opens onto a bright, open-plan living area with floor-to-ceiling windows that connect directly to the pool terrace. Three bedrooms occupy the upper level, serviced by two full bathrooms and a guest WC on the ground floor. The basement adds significant functional space beneath the main living areas, accessed by an internal staircase. A double garage provides covered parking for two vehicles, and the villa arrives fully furnished with modern fittings throughout. The 2023 construction includes contemporary insulation, plumbing and electrical systems installed to current Spanish building standards.
The property sits in the Los Hidalgos residential area of Manilva, a low-density neighbourhood of detached homes positioned between the coast and the A7 coastal road. La Duquesa Marina lies 2.4 kilometres to the east, reachable in under five minutes by car, offering waterfront restaurants, berths for 350 boats and a weekly artisan market. The beach at Playa de la Duquesa is accessible on foot in twelve minutes, while Sotogrande Port sits seven kilometres west along the coast road.

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.
