About this property
Overview
Eight-bedroom villa with private pool in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. This 600sqm country house commands 34,000sqm of elevated plot, delivering unobstructed views across the Strait of Gibraltar to the North African coastline. Architectural inspiration drawn from the Temple of Isis translates into dual living rooms, two separate kitchens, and eight ensuite bedrooms distributed across the main residence and independent guest quarters.
The main house holds two dining areas and three south-facing terraces that extend the living space outward across the mountainside. All eight bedrooms feature private bathrooms, while the basement level contains a dedicated service area, extensive storage, and a mechanical room housing a 10,000-litre water tank, solar hot water panels, and twin boilers for the gas central heating system. Double-glazed windows and air conditioning run throughout. The saltwater pool sits on one of the terraces, its infinity edge aligned with the coastal views. One covered parking space serves the property, which comes fully furnished and ready for immediate occupation.
The villa stands 4km above Gaucín village, a white hill town known for its Moorish castle ruins and position on the ancient smugglers' route between Ronda and the coast. Ronda itself lies 35 minutes north by car, while the beaches at Estepona are 40 minutes south via the winding mountain road. The property occupies one of the highest residential plots in this section of the Serranía de Ronda, with the village centre and its restaurants a 10-minute drive down the access track. The orientation captures morning and afternoon sun across all three main terraces, with the satellite system already installed and operational.

Buying this villa 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.
