About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with golf views in Casares Playa, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence commands 170 square metres of southwest-facing terrace space, wrapping around 130 square metres of interior living area. The golf course unfolds directly below, framed by floor-to-ceiling glass that pulls natural light deep into the reception rooms throughout the afternoon and evening.
Inside, three en-suite bedrooms occupy separate wings of the floor plan, each opening onto terrace access. The principal suite stretches across the southern corner, with dual-aspect windows and a private terrace section measuring approximately 40 square metres. The open-plan kitchen and living area spans the western elevation, connecting to the main terrace through sliding glass panels that retract fully. One underground parking space is included, with lift access rising directly to the penthouse level.
The property sits within Finca Cortesín Golf Club, a gated resort built around an 18-hole championship course that has hosted the Solheim Cup. The complex provides 24-hour security, communal swimming pools, and direct pedestrian access to the fairways. Casares Playa beach lies 4 kilometres south along the coastal road, reachable in under seven minutes by car. The resort clubhouse, featuring a spa and multiple dining venues, stands 200 metres from the building entrance.

9 questions answered
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.
