About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with beachfront position in El Rosario, Costa del Sol. Designed by González & Jacobson with interiors by Ambience Home, this contemporary residence sits on a 1,175sqm plot in an elevated position, delivering unobstructed views across the Mediterranean, surrounding golf courses, and the Sierra Blanca mountain range. The 477sqm interior is arranged across three floors, with all four bedrooms configured as en-suites and a guest cloakroom, finished with premium materials selected for a turnkey handover.
Living spaces open through floor-to-ceiling glazing onto a 205sqm terrace that wraps around the pool and outdoor dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped and integrated into the open-plan ground floor, where natural light reaches deep into the interior through large south- and west-facing openings. Each of the four bathrooms features contemporary sanitaryware and stone surfaces, while the principal suite occupies its own level with a private terrace overlooking the coastline. One covered parking space is included, and the property is offered fully furnished with pieces curated by Ambience Home.
El Rosario is a low-density residential area bordered by mature greenery and established golf courses, approximately 2km from the beaches at Las Chapas. The villa sits within walking distance of Santa María Golf & Country Club and a 10-minute drive from Marbella's town centre. International schools, tennis facilities, and daily services are all accessible within the immediate surroundings, while Málaga Airport lies 35 minutes west along the A-7. The property is enclosed by landscaped gardens with established planting that provides privacy without obstructing the sightlines toward the sea.

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