About this property

Overview

This is a three-bedroom detached villa on a 605-square-metre plot, built to 315 square metres. The layout centres on an open-plan living area that connects directly to a covered terrace, garden and private pool. Each bedroom opens onto outside space, either terrace or garden. Large windows run across the main living zones and bedrooms, bringing in natural light and framing views that take in partial sea, mountain and surrounding forest. The design emphasises indoor-outdoor flow, which works well in this climate but means less division between rooms than a traditional villa layout offers.

The plot sits in a low-density urbanisation on the sea side of the AP-7, 772 metres from the nearest beach. That is a 10-minute walk or a five-minute drive. Estepona town centre is 13 minutes away by car for supermarkets, restaurants and local services. Golf Academy Albayt Resort is four minutes by car, and Puerto Deportivo de la Duquesa marina takes nine. Gibraltar Airport is 42 minutes, making this practical for buyers who fly regularly. The immediate surroundings are residential and quiet, with forest nearby. You will need a car for most errands beyond the beach.

This suits buyers who want a detached home with private outdoor space, sea views and direct beach access on foot. The plot size gives room for a pool and garden without the maintenance load of a larger estate. The single-level layout works for families with young children or older buyers avoiding stairs. The trade-off is less privacy between the main living spaces and bedrooms than a two-storey villa would provide, and the urbanisation setting means neighbours are close.

Tailor Made Villa in Estepona: Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The nearest beach is 772 metres away, which takes about 10 minutes on foot. The route is straightforward because the villa sits on the sea side of the AP-7 motorway. You can also drive it in five minutes if carrying beach kit or shopping.

The villa has a private pool on its own 605-square-metre plot. You are responsible for maintaining the pool and garden yourself, but you control when and how the outdoor space is used. There is no need to share facilities or coordinate with neighbours.

Very little. The urbanisation is residential and low density, with forest nearby but no shops or services within comfortable walking distance. A supermarket is 1.9 kilometres away, the nearest hospital is over two kilometres, and Estepona town centre is 6.5 kilometres. You will need a car for everything except the beach.

Gibraltar Airport is 30 kilometres away, about 42 minutes by car. It is the nearest airport and handles flights to the UK and a few European cities. Málaga Airport is larger and offers more routes, but takes roughly an hour and a half from Estepona depending on traffic.

The windows face outward across the plot and the surrounding area, giving partial sea views, mountain backdrops and forest. The views are not full panoramic because the urbanisation has other homes nearby, but the large windows and raised position mean you see beyond the immediate plot. The pool and garden also sit within view from the main living area.

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.
