About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom penthouse with private pool in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. This duplex property combines two apartments across 250 square metres of interior space and 220 square metres of terraces, creating what feels like a villa suspended above the coast. A private lift delivers you directly into the apartment, eliminating shared corridors entirely.
The layout includes four bedrooms and four bathrooms plus a guest toilet, all fitted with underfloor heating throughout. The lower level functions as a self-contained apartment with its own kitchenette, offering a separate entrance for guests or extended family. Outdoor space wraps around multiple aspects: the main terrace accommodates the private pool and several distinct zones for dining, lounging, and sun-seeking across different times of day. The property comes with two parking spaces and two storage rooms, and holds both an LPO certificate and an active tourist licence.
Las Cascadas de las Lomas sits in a residential pocket of Calahonda, 3 kilometres from Cabopino Marina and its collection of beachfront restaurants. The complex maintains a low-density feel with generous spacing between buildings, and the penthouse's top-floor position ensures no one overlooks the terraces. Marbella's eastern edge lies 15 minutes west by car, while Fuengirola's town centre and train station are 10 minutes east. The property includes two dedicated storage rooms in the underground level.

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