About this place
This property comprises a rustic-style detached cortijo with 2 to 3 bedrooms and an additional detached house that has extensive fire damage, offering an excellent opportunity for redevelopment. The main house spans 140m² and features high beamed ceilings, a new bathroom with a corner bath, a large country kitchen with handmade worktops, and ample natural light that highlights stunning open views of the surrounding mountains.
The living area showcases a charming stonework fireplace, while the master bedroom benefits from vaulted beamed ceilings. The property’s large double bedrooms provide comfortable spaces, with an option for a third bedroom or a spacious walk-in dressing room.
Situated on the edge of Villanueva del Trabuco, the property is within a short drive of local amenities and known restaurants, making it a convenient and accessible choice. The area is renowned for its beautiful scenery and outdoor activities including horse riding, hiking, and cycling. Note that the rear structure can only be demolished, offering a 150m² footprint to create outdoor leisure spaces such as gardens or a patio area. Mains water and electricity are connected, with internet available as well.

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
