About this place
p>
One of the most iconic historic homes in Gaucín has come to the market — a truly remarkable property offering exceptional scale, breathtaking panoramic views and enormous potential for transformation.
Although the house has sadly fallen into a state of disrepair over recent years, the structure itself remains fundamentally sound, presenting a rare opportunity to restore and reinvent one of the village's landmark residences into an extraordinary luxury home.
Positioned in the sought-after Barrio Alto area of the village, this substantial five-level property extends to almost 857m² of built space, including expansive terraces, all set within a generous urban plot of 529.50m² with a large private garden — an increasingly rare feature within the historic centre of Gaucín.
The versatility and sheer size of the property open up a number of exciting possibilities. For investors and developers, the layout and scale lend themselves perfectly to conversion into several exclusive luxury apartments or boutique holiday residences. For those seeking a lifestyle project, the property would also make an exceptional high-end boutique guesthouse or bed and breakfast, combining authentic Andalusian character with spectacular views and outdoor spaces.
The accommodation is distributed across five floors:
• Level -2 (two floors below street level) – 80.20m²\nComprising 2 storage rooms, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom.
• Level -1 (one floor below street level) – 305m²\nIncluding a bedroom, 2 bathrooms, 3 storage closets, dining room, kitchen, darkroom and living room.
• Level 0 (main entrance level from Barrio Alto) – 210m²\nFeaturing 2 entrances, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living rooms and a kitchen.

• Level 2 (top floor) – 5.51m² built area plus 43m² terrace\nIncluding a storage room and additional panoramic terrace.

Buying 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.
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
