About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom apartment with private pool in Sierra Blanca, Costa del Sol. This ground-floor duplex spans two levels across 441 square metres of built space, with 42 square metres of private terrace extending directly from the living areas. Completed in 2015 and fully furnished to a professional standard, the split-level layout separates the four bedrooms across two floors, each finished with contemporary materials and fittings that maintain their original condition.
The open-plan ground floor connects the kitchen, dining and sitting areas without partitions, creating a single 80-square-metre reception space that opens onto the terrace through floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Three bathrooms serve the four bedrooms, with the principal suite occupying its own level and featuring an en-suite bathroom and direct terrace access. The kitchen comes equipped with integrated appliances, stone worktops and an island unit. Air conditioning runs throughout, with independent controls in each bedroom. The terrace accommodates outdoor dining furniture and sun loungers, with the private pool measuring approximately 6 metres by 3 metres.
Sierra Blanca sits on the lower slopes of La Concha mountain, 4 kilometres north of Marbella's Golden Mile. The development operates 24-hour manned security at the single gated entrance, with residents accessing a communal swimming pool and landscaped gardens within the grounds. The property lies 6 minutes by car from Puente Romano on the coastal road, with the AP-7 motorway junction 2 kilometres to the north providing connections to Málaga Airport in 45 minutes.

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