About this property

Overview

This 411 square metre villa stands on an 859 square metre plot in Casares Playa, between the AP-7 motorway and the sea. The layout puts all four bedrooms, the open kitchen, the lounge and the dining area on one level, with the master suite set apart by an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. Each bedroom opens directly onto a terrace. Below lies a raw basement the same size as the floor above, which you finish to your own specification. That doubled footprint is what pushes the built size past 400 square metres, and the basement is where you put a cinema, a gym or guest quarters if the four bedrooms upstairs are not enough.

The plot includes a private pool and landscaped garden with views over both. The villa is detached, so no shared walls and no community fees for anything beyond basic upkeep of the surrounding streets. You are responsible for the pool, the garden and the exterior maintenance, which suits buyers who want control but requires either your time or a gardener's.

Casares Playa sits on a stretch of coast where the mountains meet the shore, and the beach is a 9 minute walk from the front door. Estepona town centre is 16 minutes by car for supermarkets and restaurants. Golf Academy Albayt Resort is 7 minutes away, and Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina is 8 minutes if you keep a boat. Gibraltar Airport is 41 minutes, shorter than the run to Málaga, which makes this location practical for buyers who travel regularly to the UK.

The position between the motorway and the sea means road noise is a consideration. The immediate surroundings are low density, so no bakery or corner shop within walking distance. You will drive for most errands. This works for buyers after space, beach access and a plot large enough for a pool, but not for anyone who wants to live without a car.

Tailor Made Villa in Casares: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is 700 metres away, which is a 9 minute walk from the front door. Casares Playa sits on the narrow strip between the AP-7 motorway and the shore, so the sea is close but road noise from the motorway carries across the plot.

The beach is within walking distance at 9 minutes. Everything else requires a car: the nearest supermarket is 1.7 kilometres away, and Estepona town centre is 7.7 kilometres. The immediate surroundings are low density residential, so no shops or cafés on the doorstep.

The pool is private, set within the 859 square metre plot alongside a landscaped garden. Because the villa is detached with no community, you are responsible for pool maintenance, garden upkeep and all exterior work. That means no monthly fees, but it does require either your time or a contractor.

The basement is delivered as a raw shell of 411 square metres, the same footprint as the floor above. You finish it to your own specification, which is where buyers put a cinema, a gym, a wine cellar or extra guest quarters. The basement is what takes the total built size past 400 square metres.

Colegio San Luis de Sabinillas is 6 minutes by car, and Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is 9 minutes away. The nearest supermarket is 5 minutes by car at 1.7 kilometres. For a wider choice of schools, shops and after-school activities, Estepona town centre is 16 minutes.

Buying off-plan in Casares Playa 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.
