About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with golf views in Casares Playa, Costa del Sol. This top-floor residence commands sweeping perspectives across manicured fairways to distant mountains, with a southwest and west orientation that captures sunset light across the peaks each evening. The private lift ascends directly from the underground parking level into your entrance hall, delivering an unusually cinematic arrival sequence for a property of this scale.
Inside, 108 square metres of living space extends onto a 98-square-metre terrace that effectively doubles your usable area. The layout accommodates three bedrooms and three bathrooms across a single level, whilst the lounge and master suite both open directly onto the wraparound outdoor space. Two underground parking spaces and dual storage rooms accompany the penthouse, and the property comes fully furnished to move-in standard. Built in 2008 and maintained in excellent condition, the residence benefits from the on-site facilities including three communal pools set within established tropical gardens, plus direct access to the golf clubhouse, restaurant, gym and sauna.
The development sits within a 24-hour gated community in Casares Playa, positioned 1.6 kilometres from the beachfront with a two-minute drive to the sand. The property holds a full rental licence, making it immediately operational for holiday lets on the western Costa del Sol. Finca Cortesin Golf Club lies three kilometres east along the coastal road, whilst Estepona's marina and old town centre can be reached in twelve minutes by car.

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.
