About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom penthouse with sea views in Estepona, Costa del Sol. This duplex occupies both the ground and top floors of Las Jacarandas, delivering an unusual sense of vertical space and privacy within a gated community setting. The open views extend across the coast and inland towards the mountains, framed by multiple orientations that track natural light from sunrise through to evening.
The 145-square-metre interior centres on an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area that flows onto a 55-square-metre terrace. Three bedrooms each have an en-suite bathroom, and the property comes fully furnished. One allocated parking space is included. The complex provides two large outdoor pools set within landscaped gardens, a courtyard terrace planted with citrus trees, and 24-hour security.
Las Jacarandas sits within the Bel Air district, a residential enclave less than 3 kilometres west of Estepona's marina and old town. The community dates from 1991 and maintains a reputation for low-density Mediterranean architecture and established greenery. Estepona Golf Club lies a five-minute drive inland, while the beachfront promenade and chiringuitos are accessible within ten minutes on foot.

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