About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in Atalaya, Costa del Sol. This 260-square-metre detached home sits on a 585-square-metre plot within Arboleda, a boutique collection of just 11 contemporary villas. Built in 2018, the property centres on open-plan living and dining areas that connect through floor-to-ceiling windows to a 36-square-metre private swimming pool surrounded by mature planting.
The interior holds four bedrooms and four bathrooms across two levels, including a master suite with its own large private terrace. A separate guest suite on the lower floor provides independent accommodation for visitors. The fully equipped designer kitchen adjoins the main living space, while 60 square metres of terraces extend across southwest-facing aspects. One allocated parking space accompanies the villa, which comes part-furnished and maintains excellent condition throughout.
The Arboleda development occupies a quiet position in Atalaya on the New Golden Mile, a residential stretch between Marbella and Estepona known for golf courses and beach access. Atalaya Golf & Country Club sits adjacent to the complex, with its twin 18-hole courses less than 500 metres from the development entrance. The beaches of Guadalmina lie 1.5 kilometres south, reachable in three minutes by car along the A-7 coastal road.

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