About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in Costa del Sol East, Nerja, Costa del Sol. This single-storey property sits on a 1,300sqm plot at the edge of Málaga province, where mountain terrain meets distant Mediterranean glimpses. The infinity pool commands uninterrupted views across the surrounding peaks, with the water's edge designed to blend into the horizon line beyond.
The 88sqm interior accommodates three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all arranged on one level to eliminate internal stairs. Covered and open terraces extend the living space outdoors, providing multiple zones for dining and lounging under the southern Spanish sky. The plot includes established fruit trees that produce seasonal crops, with additional cleared ground ready for vegetable beds or further planting. One parking space is included, and the villa comes fully furnished to move-in standard. The property was built in 2007 and remains in excellent condition throughout.
The villa lies in the Río de la Miel area, a rural enclave accessed by mountain road where the province borders Granada. Nerja town centre sits 15 minutes' drive south, bringing you to the Balcón de Europa clifftop promenade and the beaches of Burriana and Calahonda. The elevated position means wildlife sightings are frequent across the surrounding terrain, with birds of prey and native species moving through the undeveloped landscape that frames the property on three sides.

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