About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Casares, Costa del Sol. The 173-square-metre south-facing terrace wraps around the living spaces, delivering uninterrupted daylight from morning through to evening, while a private 132-square-metre solarium sits entirely secluded on the upper level with sightlines across the golf course to the Mediterranean.
Inside, 145 square metres of living space centres on an open-plan kitchen and living room with floor-to-ceiling glazing that connects directly to the terrace. The layout separates the three bedrooms across two wings: two en-suite bedrooms occupy one side with independent bathroom access, and the principal bedroom sits in its own zone with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. A fourth guest bathroom serves the main living area. The penthouse comes fully furnished with contemporary pieces selected for the proportions of each room, and one underground parking space is included.
Finca Cortesín is a gated resort community with 24-hour security, landscaped gardens, a spa, and multiple swimming pools distributed across the grounds. The property sits within walking distance of the Finca Cortesín Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course that has hosted the Volvo World Match Play Championship. Estepona's marina and old town lie 15 minutes by car along the coast road, and Sotogrande port is 20 minutes in the opposite direction. The complex maintains its own beachfront access point with direct paths through protected dune vegetation to a quiet stretch of coastline used primarily by residents.

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