About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom townhouse with beachfront position in Casares, Costa del Sol. The property sits directly on the sand with immediate access to the shore, a rare configuration that places the Mediterranean just metres from the front door. Built across three levels and fully renovated, the 172 square metres of living space combine east-facing orientation with 30 square metres of private terrace, delivering morning light and uninterrupted sea views from multiple vantage points.
The main floor opens with a living and dining room anchored by a working fireplace, whilst the independent kitchen connects to outdoor space for alfresco dining. Four double bedrooms occupy the upper levels, each with its own en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes. The property includes a private garage with space for one vehicle, air conditioning throughout, and marble flooring in the principal rooms. The master suite claims the top floor with a private terrace overlooking the water, and a separate ground-floor bedroom functions equally as guest accommodation or home office. All four bathrooms feature contemporary fittings, and the kitchen arrives fully equipped with integrated appliances.
The townhouse forms part of a low-density residential community set within mature landscaped gardens, with a communal swimming pool positioned among palm trees and Mediterranean planting. Casares beach stretches west towards the Estepona marina, which lies 15 minutes by car and offers year-round dining and boat services. The property's beachfront location places residents within the protected coastal corridor between Casares and Manilva, where development restrictions preserve the natural shoreline and maintain low building density along this section of the Costa del Sol.

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