About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom villa with sea views in Marbella, Costa del Sol. This 1,265sqm residence sits on a 3,845sqm plot in the exclusive Altos Reales community, where southwest orientation ensures afternoon sunlight floods the principal rooms and terraces. The property delivers uninterrupted coastal panoramas from its elevated position, framing the Mediterranean against mature garden planting.
Inside, five bedroom suites each claim their own bathroom across the villa's expansive footprint. The ground floor opens onto a central courtyard with a working fountain, connecting the formal reception rooms to the outdoor entertaining spaces. Covered terraces run the length of the southern elevation, providing 12 months of shaded dining areas beside the private swimming pool. The villa comes fully furnished, with classical interiors that include original tilework and wrought-iron detailing throughout. One covered parking space serves the property via a private driveway screened by established hedging.
Altos Reales occupies the hillside above Marbella's Golden Mile, where communal gardens wrap around individual plots to preserve the neighbourhood's low-density character. The villa sits 4 kilometres from Marbella Club Hotel on the beachfront, a six-minute drive down through the residential streets that connect the elevated community to the coastal road. Sierra Blanca rises directly behind the property, forming a natural backdrop to the manicured gardens that surround the pool terrace and separate the villa from its neighbours.

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