About this place
This charming and private country house is located between Vélez-Málaga and Arenas, providing spectacular elevated views across the countryside and the coastline of Torre del Mar. Set in a peaceful rural location, it's approximately a 20-minute drive from the beach and accessible via a fully concreted road, with the final 10 metres being a track.
The villa comprises 68m² of living space, featuring a lounge with an open-plan kitchen, a separate dining room/study that could serve as a third bedroom, a master bedroom with its own private terrace, a second double bedroom, and a family bathroom. In addition, a 20m² covered terrace/porch at the front offers an ideal spot to relax while enjoying the stunning views.
Situated on a generous plot of over 4,500m², there is ample room for gardening, landscaping, or cultivation. The property includes a driveway with plenty of parking and a 20m² outbuilding, which provides useful storage and the potential for conversion into additional accommodation. While the property is connected to mains electricity, water is delivered and stored in a large deposit, and it would benefit from updating, offering excellent potential to create a modern country home in a tranquil setting.

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
