About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom finca with sea views in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. This 180sqm country retreat sits on 35,000sqm of private land and commands panoramic views across the Crestalina Mountains, the Genal Valley, the Mediterranean, Gibraltar, and on clear days, the Moroccan coastline. The property includes a swimming pool set within mature landscaped gardens and comes with outbuildings that offer potential for extension.
Inside, two double bedrooms are complemented by two bathrooms across the 180sqm built area. The accommodation opens onto terraces positioned to capture the mountain and coastal vistas. The 35,000sqm plot provides rolling terrain planted with established trees and Mediterranean vegetation, while the outbuildings present scope for conversion into guest quarters or studio space. A private access lane connects directly to the A-369, making arrival straightforward despite the rural setting.
The finca stands five minutes by car from Gaucín village, where white-washed streets hold local shops, restaurants and weekly markets. The property sits in the Genal Valley, a protected area of inland Andalucía known for cork oak forests and hillside agriculture. Ronda lies 30 minutes north, offering cultural attractions and transport links, while the coastal towns of Estepona and Sotogrande are 35 minutes south on the A-369. The immediate surroundings remain undeveloped, with neighbouring fincas maintaining the area's agricultural character and preserving the uninterrupted views across three countries.

Buying this finca in Gaucín
Can foreigners buy property in Gaucín?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Gaucín. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Gaucín?
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.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
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.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
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.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
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.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
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.
