About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with sea views in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. The south-facing orientation floods the interior with natural light, particularly in the double-height lounge where floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted Mediterranean views across the coastline.
Inside, 364 square metres of living space spreads across multiple levels, including a ground-floor lounge with feature fireplace opening directly onto a wide terrace. Four bathrooms serve the five bedrooms, with the top-floor solarium offering a self-contained room suitable for a home office or sixth bedroom. The kitchen connects to a separate utility area, whilst the main terrace wraps around the southern aspect, providing covered and open-air dining zones. A private swimming pool sits within the 1,299-square-metre plot, surrounded by established gardens with space for additional landscaping or outdoor structures. The gated driveway accommodates multiple vehicles beyond the single garage space.
Calahonda sits 2 kilometres from Cabopino Marina, where a boardwalk leads to protected dune beaches and waterfront restaurants. The villa occupies an elevated position within a quiet residential enclave, with the AP-7 motorway providing 30-minute access to Málaga Airport. Local amenities including supermarkets, medical centres and international schools cluster around the Calahonda commercial centre, a five-minute drive downhill. The solarium's independent room includes separate access via external stairs, with 360-degree views extending from Marbella's La Concha mountain to the Fuengirola coastline.

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