About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in Los Arqueros, Costa del Sol. Built in 2016, this 980-square-metre contemporary residence occupies an elevated 2,085-square-metre plot that captures panoramic views across the golf valley and coastline. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames these vistas whilst flooding the interiors with natural light throughout the day.
The ground floor unfolds as a single open-plan living space where lounge, dining and kitchen areas connect without partition. Five bathrooms serve the four bedrooms across the villa's two levels. Natural materials temper the modern architectural lines, creating warmth alongside the clean geometric forms. Expansive terraces extend directly from the main living zones through retractable glass walls, effectively doubling the entertaining space when opened. The private pool sits within landscaped gardens that provide multiple outdoor zones for dining and relaxation.
Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club surrounds the property, with the clubhouse and its championship course less than five minutes' drive away. The villa comes fully furnished to its current specification, ready for immediate occupation. Marbella's Golden Mile lies 15 minutes south by car, whilst Puerto Banús marina sits 10 minutes beyond that. The elevated position ensures uninterrupted sightlines that extend beyond the immediate golf valley to the Mediterranean horizon.

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