About this property

Overview

Villa Esmeralda - Ready to move in! is a new development of a 6-bedroom detached villa for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced at €6,800,000. This is a completed property, which removes the construction wait and payment stage uncertainty that typically accompanies off-plan purchases at this price level. The villa occupies a 1,283 m² plot in El Paraíso Alto, an elevated residential area west of Estepona town centre, and delivers 1,182 m² of built space across four floors. The scale alone distinguishes it from the majority of coastal villas in this price bracket, which rarely exceed 900 m² of internal accommodation.

The property contains six en-suite bedrooms and nine bathrooms in total, suggesting additional guest facilities or service accommodation beyond the principal bedroom suites. Open-plan living areas extend across multiple floors, connected by floor-to-ceiling glass panels that allow sight lines between interior and exterior spaces. The kitchen is fitted with high-specification appliances. Outside, the villa includes an infinity pool with an integrated water feature, landscaped Mediterranean gardens, and an outdoor kitchen for al fresco dining. Multiple terraces and balconies provide varied outdoor spaces at different levels. A private garage is included, with additional parking available on the grounds, though the exact number of spaces is not specified in the development data.

El Paraíso Alto sits approximately 12 minutes by car from Puerto Banús marina, positioning the villa within reach of the western Costa del Sol's restaurant and retail infrastructure without the density of Marbella's immediate coastal strip. The area attracts northern European buyers seeking larger plots and more privacy than beachfront developments typically offer, alongside a smaller proportion of Spanish and Latin American families. This is an inland hillside location rather than a beachside address, which accounts for the plot size and the emphasis on panoramic views rather than direct sea access. Road access involves navigating residential streets that climb from the coastal A-7 motorway, a consideration for buyers unfamiliar with the area's topography.

The villa is completed and available for immediate occupation, which simplifies the transaction compared to staged payments during construction. Spanish property purchases at this level still require reservation and contract deposits, with the balance transferred on completion, but without the deferred payment schedule of an off-plan purchase. Independent legal representation remains advisable, particularly for verifying planning permissions, utility connections, and any outstanding developer obligations. At 1,182 m² of built space, annual running costs for climate control, pool maintenance, garden upkeep, and security will be material, and prospective buyers should budget accordingly before committing to a property of this scale.

Villa Esmeralda - Ready to move in!: Frequently Asked Questions

Villa Esmeralda starts at €6,800,000 for a 6-bedroom detached villa with 1,182 m² of built space. This price includes access to either a private or communal pool, depending on your preference, along with a private garden and garage.

Villa Esmeralda is situated in El Paraíso on the Costa del Sol, offering a beach-side location with direct access to the coastline. This prestigious area is known for its proximity to both the Mediterranean and upscale amenities.

Villa Esmeralda provides 6 bedrooms across its 1,182 m² of built space, making it ideal for large families or those requiring multiple guest accommodations. Each villa includes a private garden and garage as standard.

Villa Esmeralda offers a choice between a private pool or access to a communal pool, along with a private garden and private garage for each property. The beach-side location at El Paraíso provides direct access to the Mediterranean coastline.

Villa Esmeralda is currently under construction and will be ready to move in shortly. As an off-plan project, this represents an opportunity to acquire a new 6-bedroom villa at El Paraíso before completion.

Buying off-plan in El Paraiso 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.
