About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with sea views in El Rosario, Costa del Sol. The southwest orientation delivers uninterrupted Mediterranean vistas from the 80-square-metre terrace, the living spaces, and the poolside, with direct sightlines across the coastline that shift through the day and frame the sunset each evening.
Inside, 435 square metres of living space includes a ground-floor layout with a separate entrance hall, a full living and dining area, and a kitchen with direct terrace access. All four bedrooms occupy the upper level, each with an en-suite bathroom, and the master suite opens onto a private terrace overlooking the sea. The 1,663-square-metre plot accommodates a private swimming pool, established gardens with mature planting, and covered parking for one vehicle. A fifth bathroom serves the communal areas on the main floor.
El Rosario sits between Marbella's eastern edge and the Santa Clara Golf Club, with the property positioned 1.2 kilometres from Playa de El Rosario beach. The villa's elevated plot provides the sea views while remaining within a five-minute drive of the coastal road and the beach clubs that line this stretch of the Costa del Sol. The N-340 coastal route runs 800 metres south, connecting to Marbella town centre in under ten minutes by car.

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.
