About this property
Overview
Six-bedroom Finca with private pool in Alora, Costa del Sol. This substantial country estate commands over 52,000 square metres of hillside terrain in the Tres Cruzes area, where multiple flat plateaus and varied elevations create natural zones across the land. The 354-square-metre main residence features high ceilings throughout, establishing a sense of volume rarely found in properties of this type.
The main house contains two bedrooms, whilst a separate guest apartment and two additional guest rooms bring the total to six sleeping quarters across the property. A 25-square-metre covered terrace extends from the front elevation, and the living area connects to an adjoining kitchen with direct access to a large multipurpose room that includes windows and its own independent entrance. The principal bathroom serves the main quarters, with three further bathrooms distributed across the guest accommodation. A substantial workshop building sits separately on the grounds, and one designated parking space serves the property.
The estate lies in the mountainous Tres Cruzes district of Alora, where south-west orientation captures afternoon light across the terraces and pool area. Mountain views extend across multiple aspects of the plot's elevated position. The white village of Alora sits 15 minutes' drive downhill, where the weekly Thursday market and historic Moorish castle anchor the town centre. The property's scale and configuration of separate living quarters make it suitable for extended family use or income generation through guest lettings.

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