About this place
This rustic plot of land in the charming area of Istan offers stunning views of the lake and the beautiful surrounding countryside. The lot is currently adorned with a variety of mature trees, including almond, carob, olive, and pine trees, creating a serene natural setting.
Previously classified for the construction of 32 apartments, the land has recently been reclassified as "Rustic," which means that no legal building is permitted at this time. The terrain is relatively steep, so it may not be suitable for horses; however, there is an existing well on the property, and a portion could potentially be flattened for use.
Easily accessible from the main road leading from Marbella to Istan, this well-sized plot is offered at a very attractive price, making it an interesting opportunity for those looking to invest in a natural landscape without the implications of new construction.
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
