About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in Costa del Sol East, Nerja, Costa del Sol. This ecological finca sits on 4 hectares bordering the Maro-Cerro Gordo Natural Park, offering complete seclusion within a landscape of mature trees and native Mediterranean vegetation that creates the sense of living in a private forest.
The 270-square-metre main residence centres on a spacious living room with a working fireplace that heats the entire house, flowing into a fully equipped kitchen with separate pantry and an adjacent dining room. The ground floor includes one bedroom and bathroom with rain shower, whilst the layout provides 270 square metres of total built space across the plot. Outside, the private pool overlooks dual aspects of the Sierra de Almijara mountain range and the Mediterranean, with each structure on the estate positioned among the trees to maintain complete visual privacy from neighbouring buildings.
The finca lies within the protected zone adjacent to Maro-Cerro Gordo Natural Park, placing it 4 kilometres east of Nerja's town centre and the Balcón de Europa clifftop promenade. The estate borders directly onto protected parkland, with the secluded coves of Maro beach accessible via the coastal path within a 15-minute drive through the natural park's eastern boundary.

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