About this place
This spacious residential plot is situated in an elevated position just above the Mediterranean Sea, providing stunning views over the bay of Estepona, Gibraltar, and the African coastline. With an approved license for a villa of up to 387m² — featuring 149m² of terraces and the possibility of a private pool — it represents an excellent opportunity for development.
The plot sits within a new urbanisation near the coast, allowing for a maximum build of approximately 500m², including a potential basement. The maximum footprint permitted is 378m² (25%). This property also benefits from the more favourable ITP transaction tax of 7% instead of the standard IVA of 21%, adding to its investment potential. Its location offers easy access to the beaches and amenities of Sotogrande, La Duquesa, Sabinillas, and Estepona, making it a desirable spot for future homeowners or investors.

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
