About this property
Overview
Eight-bedroom villa with private pool in Marbesa, Costa del Sol. The 1,425-square-metre plot gives this property genuine breathing room, with mature trees and established gardens creating natural privacy around the 710-square-metre residence. Built in 1969, the villa retains traditional Andalusian architectural details whilst offering the space and separation that larger households require.
The main house contains six bedrooms, whilst two independent apartments provide an additional two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and living area. This configuration allows for multi-generational living, guest accommodation that feels genuinely separate, or rental income potential without compromising the main residence. The ground-floor layout flows between reception rooms and opens onto terraced areas that connect to the pool and garden. Eight bathrooms across the property mean no morning queues, and the 710 square metres of built space translates to proper room sizes rather than nominal divisions.
The villa sits in a quiet residential pocket of Marbesa, 800 metres from Playa de Marbesa beach. Marbella town centre lies 12 kilometres west, accessible in 15 minutes by car along the coastal road. The surrounding area maintains a residential character with low-density development, and the established trees on the plot predate much of the nearby construction, giving the garden a settled, private feel that newer developments cannot replicate.

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