About this property
Overview
Six-bedroom Finca with private pool in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. This 620sqm converted Arab mill sits beside the Genal River on 13,840sqm of land, where the constant sound of flowing water defines daily life. The mature gardens stretch across multiple grass terraces planted with established trees and seasonal flowers that stay green year-round beneath views of Sierra Crestellina.
The main residence holds four bedrooms and three bathrooms across its original stone structure, plus a separate two-bedroom studio with its own bathroom and full kitchen that operates independently from the main house. South-west orientation fills the 50sqm terrace with afternoon sun, whilst the private pool occupies a level section of garden surrounded by natural shade from cork oaks and chestnuts. Interior spaces retain exposed beams and thick walls that maintain cool temperatures through summer months. The studio functions as guest quarters or generates rental income during high season.
The property stands 3km from Gaucín village centre, where weekly markets and year-round restaurants serve the local community. The white village clings to its hilltop position above the Genal Valley, with the Moorish castle ruins visible from the upper garden terraces. Ronda lies 30 minutes north by car, whilst the coast at Manilva sits 35 minutes south through mountain roads that drop 600 metres in elevation. The river maintains flow even in August, fed by springs higher in the Serranía de Ronda.

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