About this property
Overview
9-bedroom villa with private pool in Mijas, Costa del Sol. This 709-square-metre detached residence has been renovated throughout to combine the proportions of a traditional stately home with contemporary finishes. South-facing and fully furnished, the property offers generous accommodation across multiple levels, with four bathrooms serving the nine double bedrooms and interiors finished to a specification that balances period character with modern convenience.
The layout provides considerable flexibility, with reception rooms that open onto the pool terrace, a separate dining area, and a kitchen fitted with integrated appliances. Four bathrooms include one en-suite, and the ground level connects directly to the outdoor space where a private swimming pool sits within the 409-square-metre plot. One parking space is included, and the renovation has introduced updated electrical systems, new flooring, and refreshed sanitary ware whilst retaining original architectural details where appropriate. Storage is distributed across the floors, and the south orientation ensures natural light throughout the day.
The villa sits in El Coto, a residential area of Mijas set back from the coast with views over the surrounding terrain. Mijas Pueblo, the whitewashed hilltop village with its plaza and artisan shops, is a seven-minute drive uphill, whilst the coastal road at La Cala de Mijas lies 4.5 kilometres south. The property is positioned on a quiet street with established gardens on neighbouring plots, and the town centre of Fuengirola is accessible in twelve minutes by car.

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