About this property

Overview

VILLA SELENE Cortesín is a new development of 5-bedroom detached villas for sale in Casares, Costa del Sol, priced at €4,690,000. The project sits within the Finca Cortesín estate, a gated residential enclave built around a championship golf course and five-star hotel resort with 24-hour security. Unlike the higher-density developments closer to the coast, Finca Cortesín maintains wide avenues and low building density across its layout, a planning approach that preserves open sightlines and reduces the sense of proximity to neighbouring properties. The villa's 1,785 m² plot ratio to 733 m² built footprint reflects this spatial generosity.

Each villa delivers 733 m² of built space across five bedrooms and five bathrooms, plus two additional guest toilets. The architecture follows a contemporary Mediterranean template: clean horizontal lines, large-format glass panels, and natural material palettes designed to extend interior living areas onto outdoor terraces. A private swimming pool is included. The design prioritises sea views and natural light through careful orientation and the use of floor-to-ceiling glazing in principal rooms. Interiors feature natural textures and fine materials, though specific finishes and kitchen specifications should be confirmed directly with the developer. Covered and open terrace areas provide both shaded dining space and chill-out zones suited to year-round outdoor use.

Finca Cortesín is positioned between Marbella and Sotogrande, approximately 15 minutes by car from Puerto Banús marina and a similar distance to the beaches at Casares Costa. The estate attracts international buyers seeking privacy and golf access without the density or visibility of beachfront developments. The surrounding area includes several championship courses within a 20-minute radius, and Sotogrande's polo clubs and marinas are accessible within 10 minutes. The trade-off for this level of seclusion is distance from urban amenities: Estepona town centre, the nearest hub for supermarkets, healthcare, and schools, is a 15-minute drive. Buyers here typically prioritise resort-style living and are comfortable with car dependency for daily errands.

This is an off-plan development. The standard Spanish payment structure applies: a reservation deposit secures the unit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the balance due on completion and key handover. All payment schedules and amounts must be confirmed directly with the developer. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review contracts, verify planning permissions, and ensure bank guarantees are in place. Finca Cortesín's established infrastructure and operational resort facilities reduce some of the uncertainty typical of greenfield developments, but buyers should still conduct full due diligence on completion timelines and any outstanding communal works.

VILLA SELENE Cortesín: Frequently Asked Questions

VILLA SELENE Cortesín starts from €4,690,000 for a 5-bedroom detached villa with 733 m² of built space. This price includes access to either a private or communal pool, depending on the villa configuration you select within the Cortesín development.

Yes, VILLA SELENE Cortesín features sea views as a key characteristic of the development. Each villa benefits from its elevated position in Casares, providing views across the Costa del Sol coastline.

VILLA SELENE Cortesín villas come with a private garden and private garage as standard. Residents can also choose between a private pool or access to communal pool facilities within the Cortesín estate, depending on their villa selection.

VILLA SELENE Cortesín provides 5 bedrooms across 733 m² of built space, offering substantial accommodation for families or those requiring multiple guest rooms. The generous floor area allows for spacious living areas alongside the bedroom count.

VILLA SELENE Cortesín is currently under construction and available off-plan. Specific completion dates vary by villa, and the Cortesín development team can provide detailed timelines based on your chosen unit and payment schedule.

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.
