About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in Benahavís, Costa del Sol. This corner townhouse in the gated Paraíso Bellevue community has been completely renovated to create a contemporary home across 148sqm of interior space. The corner position provides additional natural light and a more private setting than mid-terrace properties, whilst the 28sqm of terrace extends the living space outdoors around the pool.
Inside, the layout accommodates four bedrooms and three bathrooms across split levels. The renovation introduced modern finishes throughout, including updated kitchen installations and bathroom fittings. Living areas flow into the outdoor terrace, which wraps around the private pool – a feature that distinguishes this property from many townhouses in the area. The home comes fully furnished, allowing immediate occupation. Air conditioning maintains comfortable temperatures year-round, and the corner plot means outdoor space receives sunlight from multiple angles during the day.
Paraíso Bellevue sits in the El Paraíso area, positioned between the coastal towns of Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara. The community maintains 24-hour security and controlled access. El Paraíso Golf Club lies within 5 minutes' walk, one of several courses in this golf-dense stretch of the Costa del Sol. San Pedro's beaches and marina sit 10 minutes away by car, whilst Puerto Banús is 15 minutes along the coast road. The AP-7 motorway provides quick access to Marbella in one direction and Estepona in the other, both roughly 15 minutes' drive from the property.

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