About this property

Overview

Celestia Homes is a 25-home block built in two buildings, each stepped back from the next so every apartment faces the sea. The layouts run from compact one-bedroom units of 55 square metres up to three-bedroom homes at 136 square metres. The smaller end suits buyers looking for a second home or rental property within walking distance of the beach. The larger apartments work for families who want year-round living with enough space for children or guests. Each home includes a parking space and a storage room.

The terraces are generous and some of the penthouses come with private solariums, giving you outdoor space that functions as an extension of the apartment. Sea views are a constant, though the lower floors will look over the pool and gardens rather than straight out to the horizon. The communal pool sits at the centre of the development, surrounded by landscaped gardens, and there is a gymnasium on site.

You are on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway in Estepona, which means you can walk to the beach and still have direct access to the main coastal highway. Aldi is a two-minute walk away, so daily errands do not require a car. Estepona town centre, the marina and a wider choice of shops and restaurants are all within a short drive. Gibraltar Airport is 43 minutes away by car. The immediate area around Arroyo Enmedio is quiet and residential, without much within walking distance beyond the supermarket and the coast.

The drawback is the motorway. You are close enough to hear traffic from some parts of the development, and while the sea views are real, they come with the AP-7 running parallel to the shoreline. This is not a tranquil beachside retreat, but it is practical for buyers who prioritise connectivity and want a home that functions as a base for exploring the wider Costa del Sol.

Celestia Homes: Frequently Asked Questions

The beach is 300 metres away, a short walk. The development sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway in Estepona, so you can reach the shore on foot without crossing the main road. The nearest beach is Playa Costa Natura, which is a naturist beach.

All apartments face the sea. The buildings are stepped so each home has an unobstructed sightline to the water. Lower floors look over the communal pool and gardens before the sea. Upper floors and penthouses get panoramic sea views that take in the coastline and the horizon.

Every apartment has a terrace. The penthouses include private solariums as well, giving you rooftop space on top of the main terrace. Outdoor space is your own, not shared. The communal pool and gardens are for all residents, but you also have your own area for sitting out or dining outside.

Gibraltar Airport is 32 kilometres away, about 43 minutes by car. The AP-7 motorway runs beside the development, so you can reach the airport without passing through town centres. That makes the journey predictable and the development practical for lock-up-and-leave use or short stays.

Aldi is 200 metres away, a two-minute walk. Beyond that and the beach, the immediate area around Arroyo Enmedio is quiet and residential. Estepona town centre, the marina and a wider choice of shops and restaurants all need a car, but the motorway access makes those journeys straightforward.

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.
