About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom penthouse with private pool in San Pedro de Alcántara, Costa del Sol. This top-floor duplex spans 198 square metres across two levels, with a private terrace pool that transforms the upper floor into a secluded Mediterranean retreat. Built in 2000 and maintained in excellent condition, the property comes fully furnished and ready for immediate occupation.
The lower floor opens onto an expansive living and dining area with an integrated kitchen, all flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. A terrace balcony extends the living space outdoors, overlooking the communal gardens and pool with partial sea views beyond. This level contains two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a separate guest toilet. Upstairs, the master suite includes an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, whilst a fourth bedroom and additional bathroom complete the upper floor. Both upper bedrooms open directly onto the sun terrace where the private pool sits. One underground parking space is included.
San Pedro de Alcántara sits between Marbella and Estepona, with the town centre's Plaza de la Iglesia a five-minute drive inland. The beaches of San Pedro stretch along the coast 2 kilometres south, accessible via the A-7 coastal road. Puerto Banús marina lies 6 kilometres east, placing this penthouse within easy reach of both the international dining scene and the quieter, more traditional tapas bars that line the boulevards of San Pedro's old town. The upper terrace receives sun throughout the day, with the pool measuring approximately 3 metres by 5 metres.

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