About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with sea views in Istán, Costa del Sol. Set within the gated Sierra Blanca Country Club, this 305sqm new-build property pairs south-west orientation with panoramic vistas that stretch across the Mediterranean, surrounding mountains, and the Istán reservoir. Completion is scheduled for 2026, with construction following contemporary architectural standards that prioritise natural light and open-plan living.
The villa provides four bathrooms plus a guest cloakroom, with three bedrooms benefiting from en-suite facilities. Ground-floor living areas connect to a 104sqm terrace that extends the usable space outdoors, while the interior includes a fully fitted kitchen, separate utility room, and a basement level housing a private gym and sauna. Underfloor heating operates throughout, supplemented by air conditioning and double glazing. Flooring combines wood and porcelain gres, with fitted wardrobes installed in all bedrooms. The plot accommodates a private swimming pool and provides one parking space within the secure complex.
Sierra Blanca Country Club sits 3km north of Istán village, where whitewashed streets and traditional restaurants occupy the hillside above the reservoir. The development operates 24-hour manned security with controlled access, positioning residents 15 minutes by car from Puerto Banús marina and 20 minutes from Marbella's Golden Mile. The community's elevated position at 300 metres above sea level ensures the views remain unobstructed, whilst the south-west aspect delivers afternoon sun across the terrace and pool area until sunset.

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