The main house features three floors with a separate entrance lower level. The entrance hall leads to a spacious, beautifully designed living room that is integrated with an expansive terrace overlooking the swimming pool.

One bedroom, complete with a private bathroom and dressing room, is also located on this floor.

On the upper level, the main house hosts four bedrooms, including two master suites with en-suite bathrooms and dressing areas, each with private terraces offering stunning views of the mountains and the sea. The lower level can be converted into additional living accommodation and includes staff quarters with a private entrance and en-suite bathroom.

The guest house, a smaller villa refurbished to a high standard, spans three floors and features all bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and private terraces or gardens. The primary bedroom offers a spacious layout with vaulted ceilings, a sitting room, a walk-in dressing room, and an opulent en-suite bathroom. This house is connected to the shared swimming pool and includes separate dining and living rooms, as well as a spa room, all recently renovated.

Further enhancing this estate, there are three staff apartments that provide luxurious accommodation, all completed in 2023. Set within lush, mature tropical gardens, the property also includes a large private swimming pool, sun terrace, and ample parking with a garage accommodating three cars.

Buying property in Spain

Full guide →

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
