About this property
Overview
9-bedroom Finca in Gaucín, Costa del Sol. This country estate sits on a sun-drenched plateau across 16.4 hectares of private land, with all documentation including DAFO certification in order. The architecture blends Moorish and Andalusian design elements across 525 square metres of built space, offering complete privacy and panoramic views over rolling countryside, mountains, and the Alcornocales Natural Park.
Inside, the accommodation divides across multiple living areas with 6 bathrooms serving the 9 bedrooms. The layout provides scope for multi-generational living or conversion into a boutique hospitality venture. Original architectural features remain throughout, including traditional tilework and exposed timber beams that reference the region's building heritage. The plot's scale allows for equestrian facilities, organic cultivation, or the addition of leisure amenities. Ground-level access simplifies daily living across the single-storey sections, whilst upper rooms capture the elevated vistas.
The finca lies within the municipality of Gaucín, a white village renowned for its Moorish castle ruins and mountain setting. Ronda sits 35 kilometres northeast, a 40-minute drive through the Serranía landscape. The estate borders the Alcornocales Natural Park, one of Europe's largest cork oak forests, providing direct access to hiking trails and protected woodland. Gaucín village centre, with its shops, restaurants, and weekly market, is a 10-minute drive from the property gates.

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.
