About this place
This 240 m² detached villa is situated on a generous 8,303 m² rustic plot in the hills above Arenas, providing open views of the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Perfectly designed for self-sufficiency, the property boasts its own well and 165,000 litres of water storage, ensuring reliable water access in rural Andalusia, where mains supply can often be variable.
The villa includes underfloor heating throughout and a heated swimming pool, allowing for year-round enjoyment. Additionally, a separate guest apartment offers flexibility for family visits, long-term guests, or as a private office, effectively separating work from daily life. Outdoor living is enhanced by renovated pool area and a versatile terrace with glass windbreaks that can be adjusted for comfort across different seasons.
The plot is completely fenced, providing ample space for an orchard or fruit trees, and features fully asphalted access without steep slopes, making it suitable for permanent residency. The nearby town of Arenas provides essential services, and the vibrant town of Velez-Malaga, with further amenities, is just a 25-minute drive away. Beaches at Torre del Mar and Caleta de Velez are approximately 30 minutes away, with Malaga airport reachable in under an hour.

Buying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
