About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in Benahavís, Costa del Sol. This south-facing semi-detached property within the gated Paraiso Bellevue complex delivers mountain views from its elevated position and direct garden access from the ground-floor living spaces. The 250sqm interior spans three levels, with the main floor organised around a fireplace-centred living-dining area that opens through patio doors onto a 35sqm terrace and the private garden beyond.
The open-plan kitchen includes a breakfast bar and connects to a ground-floor guest suite with independent terrace access. Upstairs, the master suite claims its own large private terrace with mountain outlooks, whilst two further bedrooms share the first floor. The lower level houses a utility room, storage area and private garage. Outside, the 100sqm plot accommodates the private pool and garden, whilst the complex itself provides a lagoon-style communal pool set within landscaped gardens. Three bathrooms service the four bedrooms across the 2014-built property, which remains in excellent condition and arrives unfurnished.
Paraiso Bellevue sits in El Paraíso on the New Golden Mile, with the beach accessible on foot within ten minutes. The complex benefits from 24-hour security and controlled access, positioning residents between the established golf courses of the surrounding area and the coastal amenities of the western Costa del Sol. The first-floor master terrace overlooks the mountains that frame Benahavís to the north.

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.
