About this property
Overview
Eight-bedroom villa with private pool in Guadalmina Alta, Costa del Sol. This recently refurbished property delivers 404 square metres of contemporary living space across a 1,400-square-metre plot, offering the kind of scale that allows eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms to feel genuinely spacious rather than squeezed in. The renovation has brought the interiors up to modern standards whilst preserving the generous proportions that make this layout work for extended families or regular guests.
Inside, bright reception rooms open directly onto 150 square metres of terrace space, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor areas. The villa comes fully furnished, meaning the kitchen, bathrooms and living spaces are already fitted and styled. A fireplace anchors one of the main living areas, adding warmth during cooler months. Seven bathrooms across eight bedrooms means most rooms have dedicated facilities, and the layout allows for privacy between different zones of the house. One parking space is included, and the private pool sits within the landscaped grounds, screened by mature planting on the plot perimeter.
Guadalmina Alta sits just inland from the coast between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona, placing the villa within a five-minute drive of Guadalmina Beach. The area is known for its proximity to multiple golf courses, international schools and the commercial centres of San Pedro, all accessible within a short drive. The villa's location keeps it away from main roads whilst remaining connected to the AP-7 motorway for access along the Costa del Sol.

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