About this property

Overview

This is a four-bedroom detached villa on a 627 square metre plot in Arena Beach, a residential area on the sea side of the AP-7 in Estepona. The beach is 322 metres away, a four-minute walk. Aldi is a five-minute walk, Estepona town centre is eleven minutes by car, and Gibraltar Airport is 44 minutes.

The villa is 232 square metres inside, laid out over two floors. The ground floor has an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a main living room, a second lounge, an office, and a utility bathroom. Upstairs there is a master suite with a dressing room and en-suite, two further bedrooms, and a shared bathroom. The master suite and one other bedroom open onto large terraces with sea views. The plot includes a south-facing terrace, a private pool, a jacuzzi, and a semi-covered parking area.

The setting suits families who want to walk to the beach without being in the thick of the resort. The villa has space for children, guests or home working, and the plot is big enough for outdoor living without encroaching on neighbours. The drawback is that you are not in a gated community, so there is no shared security or communal facilities beyond what you have on your own plot. Azata Golf is nine minutes away by car, and Puerto Deportivo marina is six minutes if you keep a boat.

Detached Villa Estepona: Frequently Asked Questions

The beach is 322 metres away, a four-minute walk. That makes it practical to go down several times a day without getting in the car, which matters if you have children or want to swim before breakfast. The walk is flat and takes you through a residential area rather than along a main road.

The villa faces south, so the terrace and pool get sun all day. The master bedroom and one other bedroom upstairs open onto terraces with sea views. The ground floor looks onto the garden and pool. South orientation also means the living spaces stay bright without overheating in summer.

Colegio Diocesano Juan XXIII is a three-minute drive, and Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona is four minutes by car. A supermarket is less than half a kilometre away. The setting works for families who want to be near the beach but still have schools and health care close enough for daily life in Estepona.

Gibraltar Airport is 33 kilometres away, a 44-minute drive. That makes the villa practical as a second home you can reach on a Friday evening flight, though you will want a car waiting because there is no direct public transport from the terminal to this part of the coast.

The 627 square metre plot includes a private pool, a jacuzzi, a south-facing terrace, and a semi-covered parking area. You maintain it all yourself because this is a detached villa, not part of a gated community with shared gardens. That means more work but also more control over how you use the space.

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.
