About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom finca with private pool in Casarabonela, Costa del Sol. This licensed bed and breakfast operation sits on over 6,000 square metres of land, complete with an oca licence for keeping up to five horses and a functioning local bar. The property divides into three separate living spaces: the main house with two bedrooms and an open-plan kitchen, a self-contained studio with kitchenette and private patio, and a one-bedroom apartment at the rear with its own salon and kitchenette.
Inside the 159 square metres of built space, you'll find four bathrooms across the three units, each with a shower. The master bedroom in the main house includes an en-suite bathroom. Air conditioning provides heating and cooling throughout all accommodation units. Outside, 50 square metres of terrace overlooks the pool area, whilst two additional bathrooms with showers serve guests using the outdoor spaces. One parking space accommodates vehicles on site.
The finca sits in Casarabonela, a whitewashed mountain village on the Costa del Sol known for its chestnut forests and hiking routes. The property lies 45 minutes' drive from Málaga Airport, positioned between the coast and the Sierra de las Nieves. Casarabonela's town centre, with its traditional Spanish bars and weekly market, sits within walking distance. The horses can graze across the extensive plot, which provides ample space for the equestrian licence requirements whilst maintaining privacy between the three rental units and the outdoor entertaining areas.

Buying this finca in Casarabonela
Can foreigners buy property in Casarabonela?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Casarabonela. 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 Casarabonela?
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.
