About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom villa with private pool in Valtocado, Costa del Sol. The property commands uninterrupted panoramic views across the entire coastline to the Mediterranean, with the Sierra de Mijas rising immediately behind, creating a rare dual aspect between sea and mountain that shifts with the light throughout the day.
Inside, 415 square metres of living space is arranged across four bedrooms and five bathrooms, with interiors that take full advantage of the south and west orientation. The layout captures natural light from dawn through dusk, with principal rooms opening directly onto the 51-square-metre terrace. A private pool sits within the 2,460-square-metre plot, positioned to frame the coastal panorama. One covered parking space is included, and furniture is available by separate negotiation.
The villa sits high in Valtocado, a hillside enclave above the valley floor where properties are spaced generously apart. Mijas Pueblo, the whitewashed mountain village with its artisan shops and traditional plazas, is a five-minute drive uphill. The coast at Fuengirola lies 15 minutes below, connecting residents to beaches, the port area, and the C-1 commuter train that runs the length of the Costa del Sol. The Sierra de Mijas Natural Park borders the northern edge of the plot, offering direct access to walking trails that wind through pine forest and scrubland.

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