About this property
Overview
Villa Colombia is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom villa on a 1,000 square metre plot in Casares, designed with energy efficiency at its core. The 200 square metres of built space includes a semi-basement level with a sauna, jacuzzi and laundry room, while outside there is an ecological pool. The home runs on aerothermal climate control and solar panels, cutting annual energy costs substantially. Home automation controls are built in, and finishes include porcelain tiles throughout. The plot gives you garden space and privacy without the maintenance demands of something larger.
The villa sits between the AP-7 motorway and the Mediterranean coast, close enough to the sea to feel coastal without being on the beachfront itself. Direct motorway access means you can reach Marbella, Estepona or Sotogrande quickly, and Gibraltar Airport is 43 minutes away by car. Lidl is a six-minute drive for everyday shopping. The location suits buyers who want proximity to beaches and golf courses but prefer a quieter position set back from the shoreline. You will need a car for most errands and trips out.
This is a villa for a family or a couple who value low running costs and modern systems over traditional architecture. The semi-basement layout works well if you want a dedicated wellness space or extra storage, but it does mean the living area is split across levels. The 1,000 square metre plot is large enough for outdoor living without feeling like a burden to look after, though landscaping is not included. If you want an older Andalusian style or a walking-distance village, this is not it.

VILLA COLOMBIA: Frequently Asked Questions
How far is the beach from Villa Colombia?
The beach is 1.8 kilometres away, about five minutes by car. This is coastal Casares but not beachfront, so you are close enough to reach the sea quickly without the exposure or the price premium of a front-line property. The position also gives you easier access to the AP-7 motorway for longer trips along the coast.
Does the villa have a private pool or shared facilities?
Villa Colombia has a private ecological pool on its own plot, so you are not sharing with neighbours and there are no community fees for pool maintenance. The pool system is designed to use less water and fewer chemicals than a conventional one, which fits with the solar and aerothermal setup inside the house.
What can you reach without a car in Casares?
Very little. The nearest supermarket is 2.1 kilometres away, a six-minute drive, and the beach is 1.8 kilometres in the other direction. The villa sits in a quiet position between the motorway and the coast, so you will need a car for shopping, meals out and getting to the beach. This location works if you drive daily, not if you want to walk to amenities.
Is Gibraltar Airport convenient for this villa?
Gibraltar Airport is 29 kilometres away, a 43-minute drive along the AP-7 motorway. That makes it practical for frequent short breaks or for owners who fly in and out regularly, though it is not as quick as some coastal developments closer to the border. Málaga Airport is the larger alternative but involves a longer drive east.
What are the garden and plot like at Villa Colombia?
The plot measures 1,000 square metres, which gives you space for outdoor living, planting and privacy without the upkeep of a very large garden. Landscaping is not included, so you decide what to do with the ground around the house. The pool takes up part of the plot, and the rest is yours to leave simple or develop as you choose.
How does buying off-plan work in Spain?
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.
Are my deposits protected if the developer goes bust?
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.
What building guarantees come with a new-build?
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.
What taxes apply to new-build property in Spain?
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.
Can I customise finishes and layout before completion?
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.
How long will construction take?
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.
What should I check before signing an off-plan contract?
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.
Do I need a NIE and Spanish bank account to buy off-plan?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Casares?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
