About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in La Mairena, Costa del Sol. Originally constructed in 2009 and tastefully updated in 2021, this property delivers panoramic coastal and mountain views from an elevated hillside position. The east-facing orientation floods the interior with morning light, whilst the 2,750sqm plot provides seclusion and space rarely found at this altitude.
Inside, 254sqm of living space unfolds across a single-level layout designed for family comfort. Four generously proportioned bedrooms each include en-suite facilities, and the open-plan living area extends directly onto a 100sqm terrace through full-height glass doors. The kitchen was refitted during the 2021 renovation with contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances. Outside, the private pool occupies a sun-drenched terrace with uninterrupted views, whilst mature planting around the plot perimeter ensures complete privacy. Covered parking for one vehicle sits adjacent to the main entrance.
La Mairena occupies the forested hills above Elviria, known for its tranquil residential character and access to hiking trails through the Sierra de las Nieves foothills. The villa sits 15 minutes by car from Elviria beach and its collection of chiringuitos and waterfront restaurants. Marbella town centre lies 20 minutes west along the A7, whilst Málaga airport is accessible in 35 minutes via the AP-7 toll road.

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