About this property

Overview

Imagine is a new development of 5-bedroom detached villas for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €2,400,000 to €2,730,000. This is a gated enclave of just 15 villas in the Bel Air area, a scale that appeals to buyers seeking privacy without the anonymity of a large-scale resort development. Each villa is southeast-facing, designed across two levels with the option to add a basement and solarium. The upper floors offer sea views, a detail that distinguishes these properties from inland equivalents at similar price points in western Estepona.

Each villa measures 581 m² of built space and includes five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The layout is spread across two main levels, with buyers able to customise the footprint by adding a basement or rooftop solarium during the build phase. Private swimming pools and landscaped gardens are included. Parking for two vehicles is provided, with an electric car charging station fitted as standard. The design prioritises natural light, with open-plan living areas on the ground floor and bedrooms positioned to capture morning and midday sun. Finishes are high-specification, though buyers should confirm exact brands and materials directly with the developer.

The Bel Air area sits west of Estepona town centre, inland from the beachfront but within a 10-minute drive of the coast. Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Hotel, a five-star resort with three golf courses and a spa, is within a few minutes by car. METT Hotel & Beach Resort, known for its restaurants and beach club, is also nearby. This part of Estepona attracts northern European buyers, particularly families and retirees, drawn by the combination of golf access, international schools, and proximity to Marbella without the density or pricing of the Golden Mile. The A7 motorway is easily accessible, placing Puerto Banús 15 minutes away and Málaga airport under an hour. The area is not beachfront, and buyers should expect a short drive for direct coastal access.

These villas are sold off-plan, with an 18-month construction timeline from contract signing. The developer allocates 15 months for construction and a further three months for obtaining the First Occupation certificate. Payment follows the standard Spanish structure: reservation deposit, stage payments during construction, and final balance on completion, with all amounts to be confirmed directly with the developer. An 8% discount is available if the full purchase price, including taxes, is paid during the construction period before key handover. Independent legal representation is recommended throughout. Buyers should verify all specifications, timelines, and optional extras before committing to contract.

Imagine: Frequently Asked Questions

Imagine villas range from €2,400,000 to €2,730,000 and include the 581 m² built property with 5 bedrooms, a private garden, private garage, and your choice of either a private or communal pool. The exact inclusions may vary depending on which villa configuration you select within the Imagine development.

Imagine is located in Bel Air, a sought-after residential area on the Costa del Sol. The development benefits from a beachside location, putting you within easy reach of the coast while maintaining a residential setting away from the busier tourist zones.

All villas in Imagine are 5-bedroom detached properties with 581 m² of built space, so the size is consistent across the development. The price variation between €2,400,000 and €2,730,000 reflects different orientations, pool options, and specific plot locations within the Imagine project.

Imagine offers south-facing orientation to maximize natural light and warmth, a beachside location in Bel Air, and the choice between a private pool for exclusivity or a communal pool for community amenities. Each villa comes with a private garden and garage, giving you complete control over your outdoor space and secure parking.

Imagine is currently under construction as an off-plan development. For specific completion dates and move-in timelines for individual units, you'll need to check with the sales team, as these may vary depending on which villa you're interested in within the Imagine project.

Buying off-plan in Bel Air 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.
