About this property

Overview

IDYLLIC FASE I, II offers three and four-bedroom penthouses in a low-rise scheme near Estepona's Arroyo Enmedio neighbourhood. Built areas run from 98 to 140 square metres, but terraces are what set these apart: they start at 74 square metres and run all the way to 267. At the upper end you are looking at outdoor space twice the size of the interior, and at that scale you can divide the terrace into distinct zones. The smaller formats still give you room to eat outside and to keep sun loungers away from the table. Layouts follow the standard penthouse pattern of two or three bathrooms and views over the communal gardens and pool.

The development sits 666 metres from the beach, which translates to an eight-minute walk along quiet streets. That proximity without being right on the sand keeps you out of the beachfront traffic while leaving the shore within reach on foot. Aldi is five minutes away, Colegio Diocesano Juan XXIII is 183 metres from the gates, and Estepona town centre is 11 minutes by car. The AP-7 runs behind the site, so Gibraltar is 44 minutes and Málaga further but straightforward. This is a practical location for families who need a school run that does not eat the morning and who want beaches and supermarkets without long drives.

Inside the scheme you get a spa with hammam and sauna, an indoor gym, a coworking room and landscaped gardens around the pools. Penthouses mean stairs, sometimes two flights depending on the block, and there is no escaping that with shopping or a pushchair. The terrace sizes here are large enough to matter: if outdoor living is central to how you use a home, the upper end of this range gives you that. If you rarely sit outside, you are paying for space you will not use.

IDYLLIC FASE I, II: Frequently Asked Questions

The nearest beach is 666 metres away, an eight-minute walk along quiet residential streets. You can manage it on foot without needing the car, which matters if you want daily beach access without the hassle of parking. The distance also keeps you out of the heavy traffic that builds up right on the beachfront during summer.

Aldi is five minutes away on foot, and Colegio Diocesano Juan XXIII sits 183 metres from the gates. The beach is an eight-minute walk. Beyond that you will need the car: Estepona town centre is 11 minutes by road, and the nearest hospital is three minutes by car.

Terraces range from 74 to 267 square metres. At the top end you have outdoor space twice the size of the interior, enough to create separate dining, lounging and planting zones. Even the smaller formats give you room for a table and sun loungers without the two competing for the same floor.

Gibraltar Airport is 32 kilometres away, a 44-minute drive via the AP-7. That makes it the closest option if you are flying in for short stays or using the penthouse as a lock-up-and-leave base. Málaga is further but offers more flight connections if you need them.

Each penthouse has its own large private terrace, from 74 to 267 square metres. The communal gardens and pool sit at ground level, so you use those when you want to, but your terrace is yours alone. That means no shared upkeep of your private outdoor area, though community fees will cover the grounds below.

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.
