About this property

Overview

Serenity Gardens is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Estepona, Costa del Sol, priced from €405,000 to €435,000. The project comprises 106 units across a resort-style complex where the outdoor amenity provision extends well beyond a standard pool and gym. Buyers here acquire not only interior space but direct access to landscaped gardens designed as extensions of the living areas, with paths connecting palm groves, citrus plantings, and aromatic species throughout the grounds. This approach reflects a deliberate shift towards homes that accommodate remote working, wellness routines, and outdoor living within a single residential footprint.

Ground floor apartments range from 85 to 114 m² of built space, each with two bathrooms. The 2-bedroom units start at 85 m², while 3-bedroom configurations extend to 114 m². Every apartment includes an underground parking space and storage room. The design follows an open-space concept with contemporary layouts optimised for natural light and flexible use of rooms. Shared facilities include a communal pool surrounded by mature planting, a gym, spa, co-working room, outdoor meditation area, beach volleyball court, children's play zone, and a putting green. The scale of the amenity offering positions this development closer to a private club than a conventional apartment block.

Estepona's western edge has attracted a mix of northern European retirees and younger buyers working remotely, drawn by lower prices than Marbella and improving infrastructure. The Port of Estepona is approximately 3 kilometres from the site, while the coastal path (Senda Litoral) runs within a few minutes' walk, connecting the town centre to neighbouring beaches without requiring a car. Málaga Airport lies 75 kilometres east via the AP-7 toll road, typically a 50-minute drive outside peak summer traffic. Gibraltar Airport is 45 kilometres west, useful for UK buyers seeking direct flights to regional airports. The Hospital de Alta Resolución de Estepona provides public healthcare within the immediate area. Estepona itself remains less dense than Marbella or Fuengirola, though this also means fewer year-round dining and retail options within walking distance of developments on the town's outskirts.

This is a new construction project, and buyers should clarify the current completion timeline directly with the developer. Spanish off-plan purchases typically require a reservation deposit, followed by stage payments tied to construction milestones, with the final balance due on completion when keys are handed over. All payment schedules and amounts must be confirmed in the purchase contract. Engage an independent lawyer registered with the local bar association to review contracts, verify licences, and ensure bank guarantees are in place if buying before completion. Ground floor units with garden access often carry a premium over mid-floor equivalents but offer immediate outdoor space without reliance on terrace orientation.

Serenity Gardens: Frequently Asked Questions

The price range of €405,000 to €435,000 at Serenity Gardens covers the apartment itself, which ranges from 85 to 114 square metres depending on the layout you choose. All units come with a private garage and either a private garden or access to communal pool facilities, so you're getting secure parking and outdoor space as standard with your purchase.

Serenity Gardens is positioned right on the beach side of Estepona on the Costa del Sol, which means you're walking distance from the shoreline and have direct access to the coastal lifestyle. The south-facing orientation of the development ensures maximum sunlight throughout the day, and you'll be close to Estepona's town centre with its restaurants, shops, and amenities.

Serenity Gardens offers ground floor apartments with either 2 or 3 bedrooms, built sizes ranging from 85 square metres up to 114 square metres. The ground floor location means direct access to your private garden area, which is a key feature that sets these units apart from typical apartment living.

Yes, sea views are a feature of Serenity Gardens thanks to its beachside location and south-facing orientation. The combination of the coastal position and the way the development is designed means many units benefit from views towards the water, and the southern aspect keeps your apartment bright and warm throughout the year.

Serenity Gardens is expected to be completed in December 2026, so you're looking at approximately two years from now for handover. This timeline gives the developer GREEN DEL sufficient time to ensure quality construction of these ground floor apartments with all their garden and pool amenities.

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.
