About this property

Overview

Villa Evania Cortesín is a detached four-bedroom villa on an 1,863-square-metre plot in the hills above Casares, built across three stepped levels that follow the natural slope of the land. The 554 square metres of built space include four bathrooms and a guest toilet, arranged so that each floor opens onto its own terrace or outdoor platform, with the swimming pool positioned to take in the golf and mountain views. The layout uses the gradient to give each level a different outlook, and the terraces wrap around the building rather than simply fronting it. This is a home for someone who wants space around them and does not mind that everything outside the plot requires a car.

The villa sits within Finca Cortesín, a low-density residential estate built around a championship golf course and a five-star hotel. The setting is quiet and green, with wide landscaped roads and very little passing traffic, but it is also self-contained: there are no shops, schools or services within walking distance. The coast is a seven-minute drive down the hill, Lidl supermarket takes eight minutes, and Estepona town centre is twenty minutes away. Families with school-age children will be driving twice a day, as Colegio Pablo Picasso is thirteen minutes by car. Estepona Golf is fifteen minutes in the opposite direction, and Gibraltar Airport is forty-five minutes along the motorway.

The plot size and the mountain position mean privacy and unobstructed sightlines, but the trade-off is isolation. This works well for golfers, second-home owners or anyone who values a gated, resort-style setting over the ability to walk to a village centre. The stepped design makes the most of the hillside, but it also means stairs between floors, which will not suit everyone. The garden is large enough for children or dogs, and the surrounding area is noticeably greener and cooler than the coastal strip in summer.

VILLA EVANIA Cortesín: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is 2.8 kilometres away, a seven-minute drive down the hill. Nothing is within walking distance from this part of Casares: the villa sits inland of the motorway in a golf resort setting, so you will need a car for the coast, shops and schools.

You overlook the Finca Cortesín course and live inside a gated resort estate, which means complete quiet, low traffic and uninterrupted views across the fairways and mountains. The drawback is isolation: no village centre, no corner shop, and a fifteen-minute drive to the nearest course if you want to play somewhere else.

Yes. The pool sits on the 1,863-square-metre plot, positioned to face the golf and mountain views. The garden is entirely private, so you maintain it yourself or arrange a service. The size of the plot gives you space and privacy but also means regular upkeep.

It works if you accept that everything requires a car. Colegio Pablo Picasso is thirteen minutes away, the hospital in Estepona is thirteen minutes, and the supermarket is eight. The Costa del Sol climate suits year-round use, but the hillside location means twice-daily school runs and no ability to walk anywhere.

Gibraltar Airport is 30 kilometres away, a forty-five-minute drive along the coast motorway. That makes the villa practical for lock-up-and-leave use, provided you are comfortable with the drive each time you arrive or depart.

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.
