About this property
Overview
Five-bedroom finca with private pool in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. This exceptional equestrian estate spans 12 hectares of countryside between Gaucín and Casares, offering a main farmhouse, separate guest casita, and a stable block with scope for conversion into additional accommodation. The property enjoys complete self-sufficiency through its own well and water deposits, with mains electricity already connected.
The main farmhouse provides 504 square metres of built space across five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the layout designed around traditional cortijo architecture that has been maintained through four generations of the same family. The guest casita offers independent living quarters for visitors or staff, whilst the stable block presents immediate equestrian facilities alongside potential for expansion. A private swimming pool sits within the grounds, which extend across 120,000 square metres of varied terrain ideal for horses, agricultural use, or simply enjoying the privacy that comes with this scale of rural ownership.
The finca occupies a peaceful position in the Gaucín countryside, 27 kilometres from the beaches of the Costa del Sol. Gaucín village centre lies a short drive away, providing local amenities, restaurants, and the famous vantage point overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. The property's location between two white villages offers access to mountain trails and cork oak forests whilst remaining within reasonable reach of coastal towns.

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