About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with sea views in Benahavis, Costa del Sol. This west and south-west facing property commands dual perspectives across the Sierra Bermeja mountain range and the Mediterranean coastline, with views reaching Gibraltar and the Moroccan shore on clear days. The elevated position captures sunset light across the valley each evening while maintaining sightlines to both mountain and sea.
The villa spans 712 square metres of built space across a 250-square-metre plot, supplemented by 229 square metres of terrace. Four en-suite bathrooms serve the four bedrooms, and the layout incorporates a private swimming pool alongside covered outdoor areas that take advantage of the dual orientation. One parking space is included, and the property is scheduled for completion in 2026 with excellent finishing specifications throughout.
Set within La Zagaleta Country Club, the villa sits above the estate's golf course, which lies immediately below the property boundary. The complex provides direct access to championship golf facilities, while Marbella's Golden Mile is 20 minutes by car. The position within La Zagaleta places the property 15 kilometres inland from the coast, with San Pedro de Alcántara reachable in 18 minutes via the A-397.

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