About this property

Overview

Bougainvillea Estepona is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €499,000 to €999,000. The project comprises just 25 units, which makes it unusually small for a new build on the New Golden Mile, a stretch of coast between Estepona town and Puerto Banús where most recent developments contain 50 to 150 apartments. The architecture comes from Schiemann Weyers in Rotterdam and OCWA in Marbella, and all units are south-facing. This is a ground floor-only development, which means direct access to gardens or terraces without lifts or shared corridors.

Built sizes range from 79 to 164 m², with one or two bathrooms depending on the unit. All apartments include underfloor heating, air conditioning, and fully fitted kitchens. Bathrooms use German Villeroy & Boch fittings with water-saving technology. Sliding doors connect the living areas to the terraces, and some units incorporate movable internal walls to reconfigure the layout as family needs change. Wooden Mallorcan blinds are fitted throughout. The development includes a communal pool with a separate children's pool, a gym, a hammam, underground parking, storage rooms, and pre-installation for electric vehicle charging. There is card access, an automatic doorman system, and landscaping designed to reduce solar heat gain.

The New Golden Mile runs west from San Pedro de Alcántara towards Estepona town, roughly 12 minutes by car from Puerto Banús marina. This part of the coast attracts northern European buyers looking for lower density than Marbella's eastern side, with a mix of permanent residents and second-home owners who value proximity to international schools, golf courses, and equestrian clubs. The area has seen significant new build activity over the past decade, which means good infrastructure but also competition at resale. Estepona's beaches are less developed than those closer to Marbella, which some buyers prefer and others find inconvenient depending on whether they want beach clubs or open sand.

This is a new development currently under construction, with completion dates to be confirmed directly with the developer. 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. Exact percentages and timing vary by developer and should be clarified before committing. Buyers should instruct an independent Spanish property lawyer to review the contracts, verify building licences, and confirm that bank guarantees are in place to protect stage payments. Ground floor units in Estepona typically qualify for the same community fees as upper floors, but check whether garden maintenance is included or billed separately.

Bougainvillea Estepona: Frequently Asked Questions

Bougainvillea Estepona offers ground floor apartments ranging from €499,000 to €999,000, depending on the size and configuration you choose. The price variation reflects the different bedroom counts and built sizes available, with 2-bedroom units starting at the lower end and 3-bedroom options at the higher end of the range.

Bougainvillea Estepona provides ground floor apartments with built sizes ranging from 79 m² up to 164 m², accommodating both 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom layouts. This range allows you to select a property that matches your space requirements and budget within the project.

Each ground floor apartment at Bougainvillea Estepona includes a private garden and private garage as standard. Depending on your unit, you also benefit from either a private pool or access to communal pool facilities, along with the south-facing orientation that maximizes natural light and outdoor enjoyment.

Yes, Bougainvillea Estepona is located on the New Golden Mile in Estepona with a beach-side position, and the apartments feature sea views. The south-facing orientation of the units enhances these views and ensures excellent natural light throughout the day.

Bougainvillea Estepona is expected to be completed in December 2026, giving you a clear timeline for when you can take possession of your ground floor apartment. This completion date allows the developer, CASAS DEL PADRON, sufficient time to deliver a high-quality finished product.

Buying off-plan in New Golden Mile 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.
