About this property

Overview

Quintessence is a new development of 2 to 3-bedroom ground floor apartments for sale in Marbella, Costa del Sol, priced from €575,000 to €1,375,000. The project holds Passive House certification, which places it among a small number of Spanish coastal developments designed to this German energy standard. This means significantly lower running costs through advanced insulation, airtight construction, and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. The southwest orientation across all units delivers direct views towards the Mediterranean, and the development is now complete and ready for occupation.

Built sizes range from 93 to 127 m², with all apartments configured as ground floor units. Each home includes two bathrooms and a terrace. The development provides three outdoor swimming pools plus one heated pool, a spa with Turkish bath, a fully equipped gym, and a coworking lounge set within landscaped gardens. The Passive House specification requires continuous air filtration and renewal, which reduces indoor allergens and humidity. Windows are larger than standard Spanish construction to maximise natural light, and the southwest aspect means afternoon and evening sun across the terraces. Because these are ground floor apartments, buyers gain direct access to the garden areas without relying on lifts.

Marbella's old town is five minutes by car, as is the beachfront promenade and La Cañada shopping centre, one of the largest retail complexes on the Costa del Sol. Rio Real golf course sits immediately adjacent to the development. This part of Marbella, east of the town centre, attracts northern European buyers seeking year-round residence rather than holiday rental income. The area is residential rather than resort-focused, with lower density than the Golden Mile or Puerto Banús. Access to the AP-7 motorway is straightforward, placing Málaga airport 40 minutes away in normal traffic. The surrounding streets are quiet, though this also means fewer walking-distance restaurants or services compared to central Marbella or the beachfront itself.

The development is complete and available for immediate occupation. Spanish new build purchases typically require a reservation deposit to secure a specific unit, though in this case construction is finished so the standard stage payment structure does not apply. Buyers proceed directly to completion once mortgage financing (if required) is arranged. Budget for notary fees, land registry costs, and the 10 per cent VAT applicable to new builds in Spain, plus legal fees for independent representation, which remains advisable even on completed stock. Ground floor apartments in this development include private terrace space that extends the usable living area, but clarify with the developer whether any garden section is classified as private or communal, as this affects future maintenance responsibilities and costs.

Quintessence - Key ready!: Frequently Asked Questions

Quintessence prices range from €575,000 for a 2-bedroom apartment up to €1,375,000 for a 3-bedroom unit, and every property comes fully finished and key ready. Your price includes the built apartment (93–127 m² depending on layout), a private garage, and access to either a private garden or communal pool facilities, so you're not paying extra for these essentials.

Quintessence is situated in Altos de los Monteros on the Costa del Sol, a well-established residential area with easy access to both the coast and local amenities. The location offers a quieter, more residential feel while still being close to beaches, restaurants, and services.

Yes, sea views are a key feature of Quintessence, and the south-facing orientation of the apartments means you'll get excellent natural light and views throughout the day. This orientation is particularly valued on the Costa del Sol for both the views and the year-round sunshine.

Quintessence offers ground floor apartments in two configurations: 2-bedroom units starting at €575,000, and 3-bedroom units up to €1,375,000, with built sizes ranging from 93 to 127 m². The ground floor location means direct access to your private garden or outdoor space, which is a major advantage over upper-floor units.

Quintessence is expected to be completed and ready for handover on 30 October 2025, and all units are being delivered key ready so you can move in immediately. This means no renovation delays or waiting for finishing work once you receive your keys.

Buying off-plan in Altos De Los Monteros 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.
