Description
A 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom new-build villa in El Madroñal delivers 692m2 of built space on a private 1,784m2 plot, making it one of the larger residential footprints currently available in this gated urbanisation. Two dedicated parking spaces are included within the plot boundary. The property carries an energy rating of G, which is common among large new-build villas at this specification level in the area. Completion details and available finishes should be confirmed directly with the agent.El Madroñal is a gated residential enclave within Benahavis municipality, set in the hills above the Costa del Sol between Marbella and the village of Benahavis itself. The urbanisation operates 24-hour security with a single controlled access point. Benahavis village, roughly 5 kilometres away, is known for its concentration of restaurants along Calle Málaga and a Sunday market that draws visitors from across the comarca. The A-7 coastal road links El Madroñal to Marbella in under 20 minutes, and Málaga Airport is approximately 20 minutes by car via the AP-7 toll motorway.Community fees for this property are currently zero. IBI and basura figures are not yet confirmed for this new-build and must be verified with the agent before exchange. The wider Benahavis and Marbella corridor generates consistent short-term rental demand during the summer season, and villas within gated urbanisations such as El Madroñal are well positioned for that market, though rental yield should be assessed independently with a licensed property manager.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of approximately 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 checking before you budget.
Can non-residents obtain a mortgage on this property?
Non-resident buyers can typically borrow up to 60–70% of the purchase price, meaning a deposit of 30–40% is usually required. Current variable and fixed mortgage rates from Spanish lenders sit broadly in the 3.5–4.5% range, though your individual rate will depend on your financial profile and the lender. We recommend obtaining an agreement in principle before making an offer.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees for this property are currently zero. IBI (annual property tax) and basura (waste collection charge) figures are not yet confirmed for this new-build and should be requested from the agent before contracts are signed. You should also budget for utility connections and ongoing maintenance of the plot and any external features once construction is complete.
Can I view the property remotely before travelling to Spain?
Yes. We offer video viewings by appointment, including live walk-throughs via video call so you can ask questions in real time. For this new-build, we can also provide developer plans and CGI materials. In-person viewings in El Madroñal can be arranged through our Benahavis team.
What is the rental potential of this villa?
El Madroñal and the wider Benahavis corridor attract short-term rental demand from the Marbella and golf tourism market, particularly during summer months. Villas of this size and specification in gated urbanisations with 24-hour security tend to command premium weekly rates. Precise yield projections depend on fit-out, management costs, and licensing — we recommend consulting a local rental management specialist for an accurate assessment.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can apply for on your behalf. Once a price is agreed, a reservation fee is 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 — typically 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The balance is transferred at the notary on completion, when the title deed (escritura) is signed and the property is registered in your name.
