About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with sea views in Manilva, Costa del Sol. The property sits on a 1,240sqm plot within the Hacienda Guadalupe community, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted Mediterranean vistas from multiple rooms. Completely refurbished in 2018, the villa received new electrical and plumbing systems, PVC double-glazed windows with electric shutters, and fresh flooring throughout whilst retaining its original Andalusian arches.
The 271sqm interior provides four bathrooms plus a guest cloakroom, with the ground-floor layout opening directly onto 82sqm of terracing. The private swimming pool occupies a south-facing section of the mature landscaped gardens, surrounded by established plantings that ensure complete privacy from neighbouring properties. A covered carport sits beyond the gated driveway entrance, accessed through a separate pedestrian gate. The refurbishment preserved period architectural details including decorative archways whilst upgrading all functional systems to contemporary standards.
Hacienda Guadalupe occupies an elevated position 2.5 kilometres from Sabinillas beach, where the promenade extends westward towards Puerto de la Duquesa marina. Manilva's old town centre lies three kilometres inland, whilst Estepona's historic quarter is a 15-minute drive east along the coastal road. The property benefits from the privacy of a residential hillside community whilst remaining within easy reach of coastal amenities and beach clubs that line this quieter stretch of the Costa del Sol.

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