About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in Valtocado, Costa del Sol. This 327sqm Andalusian property sits on a generous 2,600sqm plot planted with mature palms, pines and fruit trees, offering panoramic coastal vistas from an elevated hillside position. A separate guest house provides independent accommodation, whilst an additional 400sqm parcel of land creates scope for solar panel installation.
The main villa arranges three double bedrooms and three bathrooms across a single level, with part-furnished interiors and traditional Andalusian architectural details throughout. Reception rooms open directly to extensive terracing that wraps around the southern and western elevations. The private swimming pool sits within landscaped gardens, surrounded by established planting that screens the property from neighbouring plots. A gated entrance courtyard displays colourful bougainvillea against whitewashed walls, and one covered parking space sits within the grounds.
Valtocado occupies a rural hillside location five minutes by car from Mijas Pueblo, where the village centre offers restaurants, shops and twice-weekly markets. The urbanisation maintains a quiet residential character with scattered villas set among Mediterranean woodland. Fuengirola's beaches lie 15 minutes downhill via the A-387, whilst Málaga airport sits 30 minutes east along the AP-7. The property's elevated position at approximately 350 metres above sea level delivers cooler summer temperatures than the coastal strip below, and the extensive plot provides multiple terraced areas for outdoor dining beneath the established pine canopy.

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