About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom penthouse with mountain views in Estepona, Costa del Sol. The 50sqm terrace wraps around this top-floor residence, offering uninterrupted Sierra Bermeja views across a roofline-free horizon. North-facing orientation keeps the interior naturally cool during summer months whilst capturing the changing light across the mountain range throughout the day.
Inside, 190sqm of built space includes four double bedrooms, each fitted with full-width wardrobs that extend floor to ceiling. The open-plan living area connects directly to the terrace through full-height sliding doors, creating a 240sqm combined indoor-outdoor footprint. Central air conditioning runs throughout the property, with independent controls in each bedroom. Both bathrooms feature wall-hung sanitaryware and walk-in showers, whilst the kitchen arrives with integrated appliances and stone worktops. One underground parking space sits in the same building, accessed by lift from the garage level.
Sierra Estepona provides 24-hour security monitoring across the gated complex. The property sits 2.5 kilometres from Estepona's marina, where the promenade connects to the old town's restaurant quarter. Estepona town centre lies five minutes away by car, with three separate supermarkets within that radius. The AP-7 motorway junction sits 1.8 kilometres north, placing Marbella 25 minutes east and Gibraltar Airport 45 minutes west. The penthouse was built in 2006 and remains in excellent condition, with optional furniture available by separate negotiation.

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