About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in La Duquesa, Costa del Sol. This 2025-built property centres on a sunken designer chill-out zone that connects the indoor living spaces to the pool terrace, creating a split-level outdoor entertaining area framed by mountain views. The 210sqm interior uses floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout the ground floor to draw natural light into the open-plan lounge, dining area and contemporary kitchen.
The villa provides four double bedrooms across 600sqm of private plot, with two featuring en-suite bathrooms and fitted wardrobes. The open-plan living zone measures approximately 50sqm and flows directly onto the covered terrace, where the sunken lounge sits one level below the main pool deck. A separate utility room adjoins the kitchen, while a private garage accommodates one vehicle. Each bathroom includes modern fittings and walk-in showers, with the family bathroom serving the two additional bedrooms on the upper floor.
La Duquesa marina sits 2.5 kilometres south, offering waterfront restaurants and a sailing club alongside the sandy beach at Castillo de la Duquesa. The property occupies a residential plot within walking distance of local shops and cafés on Calle Sierra Bermeja, with Estepona town centre 15 minutes west by car. The elevated position provides uninterrupted views across the Manilva terrain towards the Sierra Bermeja mountain range, visible from both the master bedroom terrace and the main pool area.

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