About this place
Located in the picturesque area of El Chorro, this property presents a unique opportunity for those looking to create a spacious family home. Currently partly ruined, the house comprises five rooms and the remains of a bathroom, alongside an adjoining shed.
With a substantial plot size of 17,540 m², the land is steep and uncared for but holds potential for improvement with some dedicated planting. Permits for renovation and extension are believed to be obtainable with relative ease. At present, the property does not have water or electricity connected, which will need to be addressed for future habitation. This project invites innovation and creativity from prospective buyers, with assistance available to help initiate renovations.

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
