About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with private pool in Manilva, Costa del Sol. This detached property sits within the gated Pueblo Mexicano community and delivers complete privacy through its own entrance gate and private driveway. The 233sqm layout spreads across ground-floor living, where south-facing orientation pulls natural light through the main rooms throughout the day.
Inside, three double bedrooms share two bathrooms across a single level that removes the need for stairs. The kitchen opens to a separate dining area with direct access to the rear terrace, where the private pool occupies a central position in the 384sqm plot. Front and side gardens wrap around the villa's perimeter, creating multiple outdoor zones for dining, lounging or morning coffee in the sun. The south orientation means the pool terrace receives sunshine from late morning through to evening.
Pueblo Mexicano sits on the western edge of Manilva, where the town meets the coastal strip of Sabinillas. The beach lies a 10-minute walk from the complex gates, with the promenade cafés and El Coto restaurant both within 800 metres on foot. Manilva's old town centre sits 3 kilometres inland, whilst Estepona's marina and historic quarter are 15 minutes by car along the coastal road.

Buying this villa in Manilva
Can foreigners buy property in Manilva?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Manilva. 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 Manilva?
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.
