About this property

Overview

BIRDIE HILLS is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €325,000 to €650,000. The project sits within the Estepona Golf course itself, which means residents step directly from their terraces onto fairways rather than simply enjoying distant views. This is a residential scheme built for golfers who want immediate course access without the country club membership model common elsewhere on the coast. The southeast and west-facing orientations deliver natural light from morning through late afternoon, and the architecture uses low-rise blocks that follow the contours of the existing landscape rather than imposing a single monolithic structure.

Built sizes range from 70 to 103 m² across the two and three-bedroom layouts, all with two bathrooms. Every apartment includes a private terrace with direct sightlines across the course. The development provides two swimming pools, one at ground level and a second rooftop pool with a chill-out area, plus a fully equipped gym and a social club for residents. Buggy parking spaces are allocated for each unit, a practical detail that reflects the golf-first design brief. The interiors emphasise open-plan living spaces with floor-to-ceiling glazing that extends the usable area onto the terrace, and the materials palette leans toward warm neutrals that complement the surrounding vegetation rather than competing with it.

Estepona town centre lies approximately 6 kilometres to the south, a ten-minute drive along the A-7. The area attracts a mix of northern European retirees who play regularly and younger buyers from Scandinavia and the UK treating the property as a second home with rental potential during the shoulder seasons when green fees drop and the weather remains mild. This is not beachfront Estepona. The golf course occupies inland terrain with mountain backdrops, so buyers prioritising daily sea access or a five-minute walk to chiringuitos will find the location less suited to their routine. The trade-off is lower density, more green space per resident, and a quieter environment than the developments clustered along the N-340 coastal corridor.

BIRDIE HILLS is currently under construction, with completion anticipated in 2025. 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 when keys are handed over. All amounts and schedules must be confirmed directly with the developer, as they vary by unit and purchase timing. Independent legal representation is strongly recommended to review contracts, verify planning permissions, and conduct due diligence on the developer's financial standing. Ground floor apartments in golf developments typically achieve higher occupancy rates than mid-level units when offered for short-term rental, as direct terrace access appeals to families and groups who value privacy and outdoor space.

BIRDIE HILLS: Frequently Asked Questions

The price at Birdie Hills covers the apartment itself, either a private or communal pool depending on your unit, and a private garden space. All ground floor apartments come with direct access to your garden, which is a key feature of this development. The exact inclusions vary slightly between the 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom options, so it's worth checking your specific unit details.

Birdie Hills is situated in Estepona on the Costa del Sol, a well-established coastal area with good access to local amenities, beaches, and the town centre. The location offers a balance between a residential setting and proximity to the services you'd expect in this part of the coast. Being on the ground floor at Birdie Hills means you benefit from direct garden access while still being close to everything Estepona has to offer.

Birdie Hills offers ground floor apartments ranging from 70 to 103 square metres, with either 2 or 3 bedrooms to suit different needs. The 2-bedroom units are at the smaller end of that range, while the 3-bedroom options give you more space and flexibility. All units at Birdie Hills are ground floor, so you get that direct garden access regardless of which size you choose.

Yes, some units at Birdie Hills come with a private pool, while others have access to a communal pool facility. The private pool option is available depending on the specific apartment you select, and it's one of the standout features of this development. Your real estate agent can show you which units have private pools versus communal access when you're reviewing options.

Birdie Hills is expected to be completed by the end of 2028, giving you a clear timeline for when you can take possession of your apartment. This completion date applies across all units in the development, whether you're buying a 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom at Birdie Hills. You'll have time to plan your move and arrange financing well in advance of that date.

Buying off-plan in Estepona 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.
