About this place
This country house, located in Genalguacil, is a renovation project waiting for your personal touch. It features just over 13 hectares of land, including approximately 8 hectares of woodland filled with cork oaks, 2.5 hectares of productive olive groves, and open pasture areas. The property is beautifully situated next to the Almarchal River and offers varied terrain, with flat spaces ideal for building and wooded areas with gentle to steep slopes.
The main structure consists of an old two-storey house spanning around 210 m², which has been partially renovated. Key improvements, such as wall reinforcements and a new roof, have been completed. However, interior finishes and installations are still needed, giving you the opportunity to customise the space to your liking. In addition to the main building, there are several outbuildings totalling about 60 m², providing potential for additional storage or guest accommodations.
Access to the property is via a 3 km track from the main road, ensuring privacy and a peaceful setting, while still being just 5 km from the charming village of Genalguacil and approximately 45 km from Estepona on the Costa del Sol.

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
