About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with mountain views in Mijas, Costa del Sol. This detached property sits on a 1,746-square-metre plot in the traditional Carretera de Mijas area, where the architecture dates to the 1960s and the elevated position delivers uninterrupted views towards the surrounding peaks.
The 252-square-metre interior is arranged across split levels, with three bedrooms fitted with floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes and two bathrooms serving the main accommodation. The living and dining areas occupy separate zones connected by an internal staircase, and the layout includes an independent guest room with its own bathroom and direct access from the garden. The plot extends well beyond the building footprint, offering multiple outdoor zones for terracing, planting, or future expansion.
The property lies within the lower Carretera de Mijas neighbourhood, a residential pocket that retains much of its original village character while sitting just 4 kilometres from Mijas Pueblo. The town centre, with its whitewashed streets and viewpoint plaza, is a seven-minute drive uphill. The plot's size and the villa's single-storey wings mean the house spreads horizontally rather than stacking vertically, and the independent guest suite opens directly onto the garden through its own entrance.

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