About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with golf views in Benahavís, Costa del Sol. The elevated position delivers uninterrupted sightlines across the fairways of La Alquería Golf, with the Mediterranean visible beyond rolling hills. Exposed wooden beams run through the principal reception rooms, adding warmth to interiors flooded with natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows.
The 341sqm interior is arranged across a single level, with a separate kitchen offering workspace and storage, and a lounge and dining area that opens directly onto the 43sqm terrace. Two of the four bedrooms are en-suite, and several enjoy private terrace access. The 1,287sqm plot accommodates a private swimming pool, established gardens with mature planting, and parking for one vehicle. Three bathrooms serve the accommodation, with the principal suite positioned to capture the golf course outlook.
Set within the gated La Alquería community, the villa sits 6km from the village centre of Benahavís, where restaurants line the hillside streets. Puerto Banús marina lies 12 minutes by car down the winding mountain road, placing the property within easy reach of coastal amenities whilst retaining the altitude and quiet that defines this corner of the municipality. The golf course borders the plot directly, and the surrounding Sierra de las Nieves provides a backdrop of protected parkland to the north.

Buying this villa 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.
