Description
At 785 m2 of internal space on a 1,297 m2 private plot, this new-build villa in Altea Hills is among the largest residential footprints currently available in the urbanisation. The property has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, sits on ground level, and is built within a gated community with a dedicated alarm system and private parking. The build size places it well above the neighbourhood average for four-bedroom villas. Energy rating is G, which is standard for larger new-build villas of this scale prior to commissioning.Altea Hills is a gated residential area above the town of Altea, in the province of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. The urbanisation sits above the AP-7 motorway junction, with the AP-7 and N-332 providing direct road access along the coast. Altea town centre, with its cobbled old quarter around Plaça de l'Església, is approximately 5 minutes by car. Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) is 35 minutes away. Altea Hills is well separated from the lower coastal strip, giving the area a quieter residential character compared to beachfront zones further south.Community fees are currently zero, which is notable for a gated urbanisation of this type. IBI and basura figures are not yet confirmed for this new build and should be verified with the agent before exchange. As a new build in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.4%. ITP does not apply. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions, for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence, and are worth checking before you budget. Tax is charged on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value, so treat any figure based on the asking price as a minimum.The 1,297 m2 plot provides substantial space for outdoor living, landscaping and a pool, subject to any applicable planning conditions. The ground-level position of the villa allows direct access between indoor and outdoor areas across the full plot. Private parking is included within the plot boundary, and the gated perimeter of Altea Hills adds a further layer of security for the property.

Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this villa?
As a new build in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.4% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply to new-build purchases. Note that tax is charged on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value, so treat any figure based on the asking price as a minimum. In addition, budget for notary fees of approximately EUR 600–1,200, land registry fees of approximately EUR 400–800, and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and are worth confirming before you finalise your budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price, as Spanish lenders generally advance a lower loan-to-value ratio than for residents. Variable and fixed mortgage rates are currently in the range of 3.5–4.5% per annum, though rates vary by lender and applicant profile. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before you make an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs for this villa?
Community fees are currently zero for this property. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (refuse collection charge) figures have not yet been confirmed for this new build; the agent can provide estimates once these are issued by the local authority. You should also account for utility connections, home insurance and any maintenance costs associated with the plot and any pool or garden installed.
How can I arrange a viewing of this villa?
You can book an in-person visit through our Altea office at a time that suits you. Remote video viewings are also available if you are not currently in Spain, allowing you to walk through the property in real time with one of our agents. Contact us to confirm availability and preferred format.
Does this villa have rental potential?
Altea Hills is a recognised address on the Costa Blanca and attracts demand from short-term holiday visitors as well as medium-term tenants. A property of this size and specification within a gated urbanisation is well suited to the premium end of the holiday rental market. Tourist rental licences in the Valencian Community require registration and compliance with regional regulations; your solicitor can advise on the current requirements before purchase.
What does the purchase process look like from offer to completion?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once an offer is agreed, a reservation contract is typically signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras or contrato de compraventa), at which point a further deposit is paid, usually 10% of the agreed price. Completion takes place before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed. Your solicitor will also register the title at the land registry following completion.
