About this property
Overview
Three-bedroom villa with sea views in Casares Playa, Costa del Sol. This south-facing property spans 190 square metres of built space and commands 304 square metres of terrace, offering an unusually generous outdoor-to-indoor ratio that creates multiple zones for dining, lounging and taking in the Mediterranean horizon. The split-level layout follows the natural contours of the plot, with open-plan living areas that step down towards floor-to-ceiling glass, framing uninterrupted coastal vistas.
Inside, the three bedrooms each have an en-suite bathroom, and the open-plan design allows light to reach deep into the living spaces throughout the day. The traditional Andalucian architecture includes exposed beams, terracotta floors and whitewashed walls that keep interiors cool even in high summer. Outside, the terraces wrap around the villa on multiple levels, creating distinct areas for morning coffee, afternoon shade and evening meals. A private pool sits within the garden, surrounded by mature planting that provides privacy without blocking the sea views.
Designed by Aubrey David, the property sits within a low-rise residential enclave of Andalusian-style homes set among landscaped gardens with a large communal pool. The beach at Torre de la Sal is within walking distance, while Sabinillas village and La Duquesa Marina are both five minutes by car. Estepona town centre lies ten minutes away by road, and golfers have direct access to Doña Julia and other championship courses along this stretch of coast.

Buying this villa 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.
