About this property

Overview

The Place Alcazaba is a new development of 2 to 4-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Casares, Costa del Sol, priced from €600,000 to €1,515,000. This is a deliberately small scheme of just 38 units, which means lower density than most coastal developments and access to facilities that won't be oversubscribed during peak season. Each ground floor apartment includes a private garden and pool, a specification more commonly associated with villas at this price point. The development sits in the eastern part of Casares, a municipality that has attracted buyers looking for quieter alternatives to Marbella's west while maintaining proximity to established infrastructure.

Built sizes range from 113 to 177 m², with two to four bathrooms depending on the unit. All apartments have south or southeast-facing terraces, and buyers can add a Jacuzzi as an optional extra. The communal facilities include a spa, sauna, gym, landscaped gardens, and a shared swimming pool with sunbathing areas. Interiors follow an open-plan layout with contemporary finishes, though specific brands or material grades are not detailed in the project literature. Residents also have access to the nearby Alcazaba Lagoon, a private water amenity with beach clubs, restaurants, and water sports facilities, which functions as an extended amenity for the development.

Estepona town centre is 10 minutes by car, offering supermarkets, healthcare, and year-round services that seasonal resort areas often lack. The development is positioned for golf access, with Finca Cortesín, Doña Julia, and Estepona Golf all within a short drive. Casares itself is inland and elevated, which means cooler evenings in summer but also that this is not a beachfront location. The nearest beaches, Bahía Dorada and Playa de la Galera, are less developed than those closer to Marbella, which appeals to buyers prioritising space and quiet over immediate coastal access. The area attracts a mix of northern European second-home buyers and a smaller number of permanent residents, many of whom are drawn by the golf courses and the lower density compared to developments further west.

This is a new build project, and completion timelines should be confirmed directly with the developer. The standard Spanish new build payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures the unit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion when keys are handed over. All amounts and schedules must be verified in the purchase contract. Buyers should instruct an independent Spanish property lawyer before signing any reservation agreement. Ground floor apartments with private pools are less common than penthouses in this price range, which may influence resale appeal for buyers prioritising outdoor space over views.

The Place Alcazaba: Frequently Asked Questions

The Place Alcazaba offers ground floor apartments ranging from €600,000 to €1,515,000, depending on the size and configuration you choose. Prices vary based on the number of bedrooms, built area, and whether the unit includes a private pool or garden. Contact the sales team for a detailed price breakdown for the specific layout that interests you.

The Place Alcazaba offers 2, 3, and 4-bedroom ground floor apartments, with built sizes ranging from 113 m² to 177 m². Each configuration is designed to maximize space and comfort, with the larger units offering more flexibility for families or those needing additional living areas.

The Place Alcazaba is located in Casares on the Costa del Sol, offering a quieter alternative to busier coastal towns while remaining close to amenities and beaches. The development benefits from a south-facing orientation that maximizes natural light and views throughout the day, making it an attractive choice for those seeking both tranquility and Mediterranean lifestyle.

The south-facing aspect means your outdoor space receives excellent sunlight, and select units feature private pools for added privacy and enjoyment.

The Place Alcazaba is currently under construction and available off-plan, allowing you to secure your apartment now before completion. For the specific completion timeline and current construction progress, please contact the developer BENEFICIADO directly, as delivery dates may vary by unit.

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.
