About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with sea views in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. The property spans four storeys across 260 square metres, with 85 square metres of terrace space capturing 300-degree panoramas that stretch from the Castillo del Águila across the Mediterranean to the Rif Mountains in Morocco on clear days.
Inside, the accommodation includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms distributed across multiple levels, with north and south-facing orientations ensuring natural light throughout the day. The 334-square-metre plot incorporates a 145-square-metre garden alongside the built area. The lower floor houses a 38-square-metre closed garage with capacity for three vehicles, fitted with tiled flooring and featuring both internal access to the home and a separate street exit. Each storey benefits from the elevated hillside position, with windows framing views over Monte Hacho and the Campo de Gibraltar. One parking space is included.
Gaucín sits in the Serranía de Ronda, 32 kilometres inland from Estepona on the coast. The white village provides access to local shops, restaurants and the historic Castillo del Águila fortress within walking distance of the property. Ronda, with its Puente Nuevo bridge and old town quarter, lies 45 minutes north by car. The townhouse occupies a position that delivers mountain views alongside the coastal vistas, with the building constructed in 1999 and maintained in good condition since.

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.
