About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom apartment with private pool in Sotogrande, Costa del Sol. This first-floor residence spans 379 square metres across indoor and outdoor space, anchored by a 179-square-metre wraparound terrace that functions more like a villa garden than a typical apartment balcony. Built in 2021 and sold fully furnished, the interiors balance warmth with clean lines through curated design choices that move beyond developer minimalism.
The open-plan living and dining area connects to the terrace through floor-to-ceiling windows that run the width of the western façade. Five bedrooms are spread across the layout, each with its own bathroom, and the kitchen includes integrated appliances and stone worktops. The terrace wraps around multiple sides of the apartment, offering mountain views and enough depth to accommodate outdoor dining, lounge seating, and the private pool. One underground parking space is included, and the apartment benefits from west-facing orientation that captures afternoon and evening light.
Senda Chica is a gated community within La Reserva de Sotogrande, with 24-hour security, landscaped gardens, a communal pool, gym, and padel courts shared among residents. The development sits 2 kilometres from La Reserva Club, which includes the members' Beach Club and an 18-hole golf course designed by Cabell Robinson. Sotogrande's marina and international school are both within a 10-minute drive, and the terrace dimensions allow for year-round outdoor use across most months of the southern Spanish calendar.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Sotogrande
Can foreigners buy property in Sotogrande?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Sotogrande. 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 Sotogrande?
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.
