About this property
Overview
Six-bedroom villa with private pool in San Pedro de Alcántara, Costa del Sol. Built across 528 square metres, this 1988 property sits on a 938-square-metre plot and offers the kind of space that's increasingly rare this close to the coast. The south-west orientation ensures afternoon sun floods the main living areas and terrace throughout the year.
Inside, six bedrooms are spread across multiple floors, with five full bathrooms and an additional guest toilet. The 50-square-metre terrace connects directly to the private pool and garden, which occupy a substantial portion of the plot. Air conditioning runs through the main rooms. The kitchen comes fully equipped with integrated appliances and separate utility access. One allocated parking space is included. The property is part-furnished, with several rooms retaining original fitted wardrobes and storage units from the late 1980s build.
The villa stands in the Alta Vista area of San Pedro de Alcántara, a residential zone set back from the coastal road. San Pedro town centre sits approximately 2 kilometres away, with its weekly market, independent shops and beachfront promenade. The property requires cosmetic updating in several areas, particularly the bathrooms and kitchen finishes, though the structure and layout remain solid. The garden has mature planting along the perimeter boundaries.

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