About this property
Overview
Two-bedroom penthouse with private pool in Casares Playa, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence spreads across 115 square metres of living space, extending onto a 50-square-metre private terrace where the pool catches the afternoon sun. The southeast orientation ensures natural light throughout the day, whilst the marble flooring and double glazing add a polished finish to the interiors.
Inside, the layout delivers two bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms, alongside a fully fitted kitchen and open-plan living areas that connect directly to the terrace. Air conditioning runs through hot and cold cycles across all rooms. A lift services the building, and the property includes a storage room in the basement plus one underground parking space. The gated entry system and communal gardens provide secure, low-maintenance surroundings, and the penthouse benefits from sea, golf and panoramic garden views from its elevated position.
Casares Playa sits between golf courses and forested hillsides, with the urbanisation positioned close to both. The beachfront at Casares Costa lies 1.5 kilometres south, reachable in under five minutes by car. Estepona town centre is 15 minutes west along the A-7, whilst Sotogrande Marina is 20 minutes east. The property's location places it within walking distance of several golf courses, including Finca Cortesín and Doña Julia, both less than 2 kilometres away. The building's lift opens directly onto the penthouse level, and the private terrace overlooks the communal pool and gardens below.

Buying this penthouse in Casares Playa
Can foreigners buy property in Casares Playa?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Casares Playa. 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 Casares Playa?
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.
