About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with sea views in Calahonda, Costa del Sol. Set behind a private gated entrance, this 525sqm Andalusian-style property combines traditional architecture with substantial Mediterranean living space across a 723sqm plot. White façades, terracotta roof tiles and graceful arches frame 198sqm of south-west-facing terraces that capture both sea and mountain views, whilst mature palm trees and established gardens provide natural privacy throughout the grounds.
Inside, vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams run through interconnected living areas that open directly onto shaded outdoor spaces. The villa provides six bathrooms across its five bedrooms, each benefiting from the soft natural light that fills the property throughout the day. A private swimming pool occupies the garden, with dedicated parking for one vehicle. The home comes fully furnished, with traditional finishes including terracotta flooring and wrought-iron details that reflect the region's architectural heritage. The south-west orientation ensures afternoon and evening sun across the main terraces and pool area.
The property sits in Sitio de Calahonda, a residential hillside area known for its established gardens and proximity to both beach and amenities. Calahonda beach lies 2 kilometres downhill, accessible by car in under five minutes. The villa's elevated position provides the sea views whilst remaining within easy reach of the coastal strip, where restaurants, supermarkets and the Calahonda commercial centre serve the year-round community. Marbella sits 15 kilometres west along the A-7 coastal road.

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.
