About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with mountain views in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. This authentic village building spans three connecting floors and offers dual street access from different levels, a rare configuration that simplifies renovation planning. The lower level retains its original wood-fired oven and kneading equipment from its former life as a bakery, whilst the interior staircase links all 187 square metres of living space.
The main floor measures 82 square metres and opens directly onto the village's principal street, with generous ceiling heights and natural light from its dual north and south orientation. The lower 23-square-metre level has independent access from the back street, creating potential for separate guest accommodation or studio space. All three floors connect internally, and the structure allows for the addition of a rooftop terrace with panoramic views across the surrounding terrain. The property includes four bedrooms and one bathroom, with the layout offering flexibility for reconfiguration during renovation.
The building sits in the historic centre of Gaucín, one of Andalusia's white villages known for its artistic community and traditional architecture. The main square with its cafés and weekly market lies 100 metres from the front entrance. Ronda, with its dramatic gorge and bridge, is a 30-minute drive north, whilst the coast at Estepona can be reached in 45 minutes. The village maintains regular bus connections to surrounding towns and sits at an elevation that provides cooler temperatures during summer months.

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