Excellent Plot of land with ruin for sale in SOPORTUJAR Granada Spain
Esales Property ID: es5554016
SOPORTUJAR,
GRANADA,
ANDALUSIA
For sale, a beautiful ruin with planning permission (now lapsed, but should be easily renewable) for large dwelling/ retreat/ wellness centre/hotel.
Just reduced from €89000 for quick sale.
Also included in the price is a large area of land surrounding the ruin (approximately 7 hectares/17 acres).
This property sits high up on the hills in the splendour of the Alpujarras on the edge of the national park, just above Soportujar.
Mountainside land, with indescribable views, including the far distant sea. New trees recently planted.
Building permission has been granted (now lapsed, but as once granted for three storey luxury retreat centre, it will highly likely be granted again for similar, and certainly a less ambitious project).
It was approved for 9 en-suite bedrooms, two large spaces – one indoor, the other within the building, but in the beautiful mountainside openair, both ideal for yoga qigong, tai chi etc., or large gathering such as weddings/anniversary celebrations. /it also comes with a wonderful threshing circle.
Permission to drill a well has been granted; it has two reservoir licences; mains electricity has been negotiated with neighbouring dwellings. Well maintained semi-tarmacked road/camino.
Only the Buddhist Centre 'Osel-Ling', inaugurated by the Dalai Lama, Osel Iza Torres, is higher up. With its command of the valley, it would make a perfect retreat, wellbeing centre, or luxury dwelling.
Location coordinates 36 degrees 55′ 50″ N, 3 degrees 23′ 51″ W.

Open in Google MapsBuying property in Spain
Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
- 1
Get an NIE
Apply for the foreign-resident tax number at a Spanish consulate, police station, or via a representative with power of attorney.
- 2
Open a Spanish bank account
Needed for the deposit, taxes, mortgage payments, and utilities.
- 3
Engage an independent lawyer
Lawyer runs title, debts, planning, and community-of-owners checks — the notario will not.
- 4
Reservation contract
Small deposit (€3,000–€10,000) takes the property off the market while due diligence runs.
- 5
Sign the contrato de arras
Private purchase contract with a 10% deposit. If the buyer pulls out they lose it; if the seller pulls out they pay double.
- 6
Sign the escritura pública
Final public deed signed before a notario; balance and taxes paid; keys handed over.
- 7
Register the property
Lawyer registers the deed at the Registro de la Propiedad and arranges utility and IBI transfers.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025. Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV. Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax. Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
