About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom penthouse with sea views in The Golden Mile, Costa del Sol. Panoramic Mediterranean vistas stretch across the horizon from the 66sqm terrace, where a heated plunge pool offers year-round enjoyment against a backdrop of coastline and open sky. The recent renovation introduces natural stone surfaces, warm wood finishes, and bespoke carpentry that runs throughout the 256sqm interior, creating a fully furnished residence ready for immediate occupation.
The top-floor layout accommodates four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across intelligently planned living spaces. The kitchen integrates premium appliances within custom cabinetry, whilst the principal suite claims a private section of the terrace for direct access to morning light and sea air. Living areas open directly onto the outdoor space through full-width glass, extending the usable floor area by a third during warmer months. One underground parking space accompanies the property, and the 2005-built structure benefits from the stability of mature construction combined with contemporary interior specification.
Condado de Sierra Blanca operates as a gated community with 24-hour security, two communal swimming pools, and maintained gardens that buffer the property from external noise. The complex sits within Sierra Blanca itself, placing the penthouse 4 kilometres from Marbella's old town and its concentration of restaurants and independent shops. The Golden Mile's beachfront lies 1.5 kilometres downhill, accessible by car in under five minutes, whilst Puerto Banús marina sits 3 kilometres west along the coast road.

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