About this place
This extraordinary property encompasses 117,543 m² of land in a remarkable natural setting, located directly on the Tarifa coastline. With 400 meters of seafront and less than 50 meters from the water at its closest point, the estate is perfectly positioned within the Estrecho Natural Park, recognised as a Biosphere Reserve.
The estate boasts breathtaking views of over 180° including the Strait of Gibraltar, Africa, the Tarifa Lighthouse, and the Torre del Fraile. Elevated between 4 and 90 meters above sea level, the property is safe from flooding and features three rehabilitable buildings. The constructed area totals approximately 300 square meters, including a unique “ship-like” main building measuring 35 meters in length and comprising a 28-square-meter usable living space, complemented by a 15-square-meter auxiliary cottage and a 32-square-meter former bunker.
Access is available via a cattle trail from the Colada de la Costa, ensuring complete privacy without rights of way or military roads. The estate is located on the Camino de Santiago route, specifically on the Algeciras–Tarifa section, making it an ideal spot for exploring nature through activities such as migratory bird and whale watching, horseback riding, water sports, swimming, and hiking on natural rocky platforms between beaches. This property is poised for a private residential project or high-end rural tourism opportunities, with potential renovations subject to strict Natural Park regulations.

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
