About this property
Overview
This incredible project is set on a 11.178 sqm plot with absolutely breathtaking views. It's a truly unique opportunity, sold with plans and an active building license for a stunning 2.443 sqm villa with 1.998 interior space.
The inspiration for the design was the plot's breathtaking location in a valley flanked by steep hills on either side, with uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean sea. The villa is built into the hill side, as if it almost becomes part of the environment, rather than just sitting on top of it. All the windows disappear into the walls, whereby nature is brought into the living spaces using water features, living walls, and natural materials. The design is inspired by the natural vegetation and used colors and materials that perfectly matched the decor of the villa. The valley is home to a wealth of naturally occurring dark stone, which has been incorporated into many of the wall finishes. This is a home that is truly integrated with its natural surroundings—it's absolutely amazing!
The finished villa will be distributed over three floors, with eight bedrooms (of which three are private suites with their own living and kitchen areas), 13 bathrooms (eight of which are part of ensuite, and two outdoor with outdoor showers), an outdoor pool and jacuzzi, an indoor pool and jacuzzi, a sauna, steam room, salon and medi-spa, and a gym! And there's still more! A bowling alley, cinema, beverage cellar, game room, library, chef's kitchen, show kitchen, living room, dining room, informal dining room, two English patios, a six-car garage, a three-car carport, a dedicated laundry room, a machine room, and a smart home equipped with audio throughout indoor/outdoor spaces! Plus, photovoltaic-powered water heating, underfloor heating, a rain catch system for irrigation, water recycling, and so much more!

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