About this property

Overview

Casares Bay is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Casares, Costa del Sol, priced from €487,000 to €595,000. The development sits between Estepona and the quieter inland village of Casares, adjacent to Doña Julia Golf, which positions it in a less saturated part of the western Costa del Sol where new build stock remains limited compared to the Marbella corridor. Ground floor units here offer direct access to communal gardens, which appeals to buyers seeking low-maintenance outdoor space without the height premium of penthouses. The location trades beachfront proximity for lower entry prices and golf course views, a calculation that works for second-home buyers who prioritise space over walking distance to the sea.

Built sizes range from 109 to 136 m², with two-bedroom units starting at the lower end of that scale and three-bedroom layouts extending to the upper limit. All apartments include two to four bathrooms, the higher count indicating en-suite provision in larger configurations. The development includes a communal swimming pool. Parking allocation is not confirmed in the available data, so buyers should verify garage or surface space entitlement with the developer before reservation. The supplier description references Mediterranean views and green surroundings, consistent with the elevated inland position typical of golf-adjacent developments in this municipality. Interiors and finishes are not detailed in the technical data, so specification meetings will be necessary to confirm kitchen brands, flooring, and climate control systems.

Doña Julia Golf is immediately adjacent, which matters if you play or if you are buying to rent to golfers during the spring and autumn seasons when the Costa del Sol draws northern European players. La Duquesa marina is approximately 10 minutes by car, offering restaurants and berths, though it is smaller and quieter than Puerto Banús. Casares itself is an inland white village with limited commercial infrastructure, so most residents drive to Estepona or Sabinillas for supermarkets, healthcare, and schools. The buyer profile here skews towards retirees, golf enthusiasts, and investors targeting the rental market around Finca Cortesín and the surrounding courses. This is not a beachfront lifestyle, it is a golf and hill country one, and resale liquidity will depend on that niche holding its appeal.

This is an off-plan or early-stage development, typical payment structure in Spain requires a reservation deposit, then stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the final balance due on completion when keys are handed over. Exact amounts and schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer, as these vary by project and sometimes by unit. Engage an independent Spanish property lawyer before signing any reservation contract, they will verify land registry entries, review the build contract, and confirm bank guarantees are in place to protect stage payments. Ground floor apartments in golf developments can be slower to sell than mid-floor or penthouse units, so if this is an investment, factor that into your liquidity planning.

Casares Bay: Frequently Asked Questions

The price at Casares Bay covers the apartment itself, your private garage, and access to either a private or communal pool depending on your unit. All ground floor apartments come with a private garden, and the south-facing orientation means you'll get natural light throughout the day. Finishes and exact inclusions vary by unit, so it's worth checking the specific details for the 2 or 3 bedroom option you're interested in.

Casares Bay is situated in Casares on the Costa del Sol, a quieter stretch of the coast between Estepona and Manilva. The location gives you access to local amenities, beaches, and restaurants while being removed from the busier tourist hotspots. You're also within reasonable driving distance of Málaga airport and larger towns if needed.

Casares Bay offers 2 and 3 bedroom ground floor apartments ranging from 109 m² to 136 m² in built size. The 2 bedroom units are at the smaller end of that range, while the 3 bedroom options give you more space and typically include larger living areas. All units are ground floor with direct access to your private garden.

Yes, Casares Bay apartments feature sea views, and the south-facing orientation means they capture sunlight and views throughout the day. The ground floor positioning combined with your private garden creates a nice connection to the outdoors while maintaining privacy. Views will vary slightly depending on which specific unit you choose within the development.

Casares Bay is expected to be completed in May 2027, giving you time to plan your move or rental strategy. The development is currently in construction phase, so you're buying off-plan at these prices ranging from €487,000 to €595,000 depending on size and exact specifications. Your real estate agent can confirm the current build progress and any unit availability.

Buying off-plan in Casares means reserving a property before or during construction. You pay a reservation deposit (typically €6,000 to €12,000), then sign a private purchase contract within 30 days and pay a further 10 to 20% of the purchase price. Staged payments follow the construction milestones. The final 60 to 70% is paid at notary completion when the keys are handed over.

Under Spanish law (Law 57/1968 and its 2015 successor), all off-plan deposits must be covered by a bank guarantee or insurance policy. Your lawyer must verify this before you pay any money. If the developer fails to deliver, you can claim 100% of your deposit plus 6% annual interest. Never transfer funds without a confirmed guarantee in your name.

Spanish law mandates three tiers: a 10-year structural guarantee (Seguro Decenal) for serious structural defects, a 3-year guarantee for habitability issues (waterproofing, insulation, installations), and a 1-year guarantee on finishes and fixtures. These run from the date the licence of first occupation (licencia de primera ocupación) is issued.

New-build purchases are subject to 10% IVA (VAT) on the purchase price, plus 1.2% AJD (stamp duty) in Andalucía. Parking spaces or storage sold separately may attract 21% IVA. Add notary, land registry and legal fees (1 to 2%), budget 12 to 15% on top of the purchase price in total acquisition costs.

Most developers allow personalisation during the early construction phase, choices of floor tiles, kitchen units, bathroom fixtures, paint colours and sometimes layout tweaks. The window for changes is typically 3 to 6 months after signing the contract. Structural changes are rarely possible once work has started. Your sales representative will provide a customisation deadline and specification sheet.

Typical build time in coastal Spain is 18 to 30 months from licence grant to completion. Delays of 3 to 6 months are common due to weather, supply-chain or permit issues. Your contract should specify a longstop completion date and the compensation you are owed for any overrun. Always check whether the building licence has already been granted before reserving.

Key due-diligence points: (1) confirm the building licence is granted, not just applied for; (2) verify all deposits are bank-guaranteed in your name; (3) check the developer's track record and financial standing; (4) review the specification sheet and what is included in the price; (5) confirm the estimated completion date and longstop clause; (6) have an independent Spanish lawyer review the contract before you sign anything.

Yes, both are required before the final notary signing. You can reserve with a passport, but your Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) is needed for the private purchase contract and your Spanish bank account for the staged transfers. Your lawyer can obtain your NIE with a power of attorney in 2 to 4 weeks. Open the bank account on your first trip to Spain or remotely via certain Spanish banks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
